PRICKLY ASH BITTERS ■ *
Is a Bowel Tonic and Regulator.
It empties the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsh, Sj
griping cathartics and does it mildly, comfortably, pleas
ant'y. Moreover, it leaves a beneficial influence behind it
because the bowels remain healthy and regular thus there
is no return to constipated conditions.

100 Per Cent Assessment On De
funct Banks.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 22.—The
State Banking Department has
just ordered four more 100 per
cent assessments upon stock
holders of bak that have re
cently failed, making five in all.
This is prescribed under the
act creating the department,
which holds stockh dders liable in
twice the amount of their stock
for all the indebtedness of the
bank. In each instance the
banks have been unable to real
ize sufficiently on their assets
to meet the obligations which
has made the assessment neces
sary. Tn the event the assess
ment yields more than enough,
the residue will be returned pro
rata to the stockholders.
The assessments are as fol
lows :
Bank of Commerce and Trust
Company, Stuttgart, failed last
May, capital tock, liablities a
bout $300,000.
Bank of Higden, capital stock,
$5,000, liabilities $26,000.
Bank of Huntington, capital
tock, $25,000, liabilities, $43,

000.
The Banking Department is
beginning to be more rigid in j
the enforcement of the law, and j
they are meeting the approval j
and co-operation of all the best s
bankers of the state. “You can't
hit us too hard along these lines" |
is the attitude assumed by most ;
of them, who declare that the j
! strict enforcement of bank reg- j
ulations, which the state has
lacked all these years, will
bring about a stability that has j
long been needed.
The Department has gone to
the trouble and expense, also of
drafting model by-laws which are
to be sent to each of the 425
banks in the state with the re
commendation that they be a
dopted. It has been found that
many banks have no by-laws at
all, and others have inadequate
rules for the government of their
business.
One of the reforms which the
Department is insisting upon is
the elimination of overdrafts, on
the theory that “if a man’s ov
erdraft is good, so is his note’’.
And in this the banks are co
operating.
