No Excuse For Overdrafts.

The cotton condition is not to be
taken as an accepted excuse for over
drafts in state banks, according to
State Bank Commissioner John M.
Davis The state law governing over
drafts will be strictly adhered to.
Commissioner Davis is of the opinion
that the merchant who desires to get
into the cotton game, need not be car
ried from day to day by overdrafts,
but can, If he is worthy of credit,
make other arrangements with the
banks to carry on his business.

According to the returns oficially
compiled and announced by the State
Board of Election Commissioners,
there was a total of 1857 votes cast
for the Office Of governor, while the
average vote cast on the acts and
amendments was only about 5000,
showing that great many Arkansas
voters were Indifferent as to the re-
suits on those questions.
While it is an open question as to
the vote necessary to adopt an amend
ment to the constitution, Amendments
Nos. IA and 1G, those providing for
the bond issue and creating lieu
tenant governor, have been given
majority of the votes cast on those
subjects. Amendment No. IA has car
ried because it was submitted under
the initiative and referendum laws,
and it may be that No. 16 also is
adopted
The majority for Amendment No. IA
is 1891, while that given Amend
ment No. 16 is only 1856,
Special Act No. 8, the publicity law,
has carried by majority of 14,S24,
and Act No. I was given a majority OF
47,013.
The vote for and against liquor IL
cense shows a majority of 1860
against license.

In only three counties in the state
were the Democratic nominees for
the lower house defeated at the gen.
eral election. H. A. Jcter won over L.
A. Daniel in Madison county, B. F. Ru-
BILE won over w. w. Baker in Newton
county. and c. c. Taylor defeated
Bruce Robinson in Searcy county.
! II is interesting to note that there
was an average of only $4,000 votes
cast on the acts and amendments, in
dicating very considerable degree
of Indifference OF ignorance on the
part OF the voters, over forty thou
sand of them not having voted at all
on these subjects. On the other hand,
there was total of 121.310 votes
cast on the liquor question. only 49,
207 having failed to vote, and the ag-
gregate majority in the state against
! license is 1860.
Gov. Hays is expected to issue his
official proclamation on the acts and
amendments soon
