led all other acts on the same subject. and the insurance companies which had withdrawn from Arkansas re- turned to the state.
 "That act has been in force 37 years, and the companies have com piled with its provisions as construed by nine or ten different insurance commissioners and as many different attorneys general. Furthermore, the insurance commissioner has prepared and furnished the companies from time to time digest of the insurance laws of Arkansas, but the act of 1873 has never been included in such di- gest. The state also prepares the blanks and interrogatories upon which returns for taxation are made and the companies have paid all taxes exacted of them by the insurance commissioner"

GOOD INCREASE IN
 BANK RESOURCES
Growth of State Institutions Source of Deep Gratifica-
 ton to Walker

Montgomery. December 16.-(Speeal.)- The interest in resources of the various state banks during the past IS months is q source of deep qualification to Su- perintendent of Banks Alex E. Walker. During MT. Walkers administration of the affairs of the state banking depart ment, the resources of the state banks have increased in the neighborhood of $1O,OO0. 900.
 Superintendent Walker is also deeply pleased at the record which his depart ment has made in the matter of cutting down the amount of overdrafts. When the banking department was created. the overdrafts, as shown by the first state ment submitted by the state banks, amounted to nearly s1.oo0,O00. The latest reports from the various banks showed that the amount of overdrafts was less than $300,O00.
 The banking department has used ev- cry means in it's power to enforce that section of the law with reference to over drafts.' said MT. Walker When the department was created, we found that it was exceedingly hard to keep the banks from paying overdrafts, but after repeated efforts we have succeeded in cut ting the overdrafts down to about S291, ,00O, whereas the amount of overdrafts as shown by the first reports was something like $l,0O0.000.
 The banks have made considerable progress during the past IS months, and l am very much pleased at the increase in their resources. The recent reports showed that the banks were all doing good business, along conservative lines, and I anticipate greater progress during the next year"

ID ENTER RACE FOR
 ATTORNEY GENERAL
Clayton Potter Well Quail fled for Office in
 Mississippi

Jackson, Miss, December 16.-(Special) she friends of Clayton D. Potter. state senator from Hinds county have begun thus far in advance to groom him for the next attorney general of the state of Mississippi. Senator Potter is a dyed in the wool Vardamanite, as is Ross Collins, present incumbent, who will no doubt be candidate for reelection three years hence.
 Though unassuming, Senator Potter is man who commands the respect of all who know him for the simple reason that he is man who "does something" !" He is the author of the laws creating the state. county and city Repositories, saV- ing thousands of dollars in the way of salaries and bringing in many thousands of dollars in the way of interest; the abolishment of the fellow servant rule, extending the time for lien of material, men and contractors; t;le four day bag gage law for the travelling men, all of which are the laws of thesstate today. He has also introduced and fought for good laws that failed of passage. but some of which have been approved by the State Bar association, among them being the equalization of taxes, the fee sys- tenn, pay to dependent families of con- victs.
 It is also a matter of note that all of the laws introduced and passed at tho suggestion of Senator Potter have stood the test of the courts.
