SCOTT OPPOSED TO
 GARNISHMENT BILL
Snys Passage of Percy's Bill Would Mean the Wrecking of the
 Poor Mans Credit

That the enactment of the Percy anti garnishment bill would result in the wrecking of the poor mans credit, and for that reason he opposes it, was the decla- ration of Judge Ninrod w. Scott of Ems ley, former mayor of that city. who re- turned from Montgomery yesterday. He headed a delegation of Ensley citizens who protested against the law. "The bill will take from the poor man his only capital,' said Judge Scntt, land that 10 credit. If the merchants did not have this law with which to make some folks pay they could not afford to take the. credit risks that are now assumed. The garnlshment law does not injure the men who are honest and pay promptly. It does. however, give the merchants an op-

The payment of the poll tax is one of the imperative qualifications of voter in an election, state, county or municipal and from this edict there is no appeal" The tax books are open at the office of Lee Moody on Second avenue and everyone liable is urged to pay up.
 'Lest We Forget"
 For some time past many of the citi- zens of Bessemer have been urging the purchase by the city of the Cedar Hill cemetery. At recent meeting of the city council a committee was appointed to confer with the owners of the property with a view of purchase. This commit- tee Is headed by Mayor Lewis and will meet Monday with John McCalla and his associates. who own the property, to de- eide on terms if possible. There are many residents of the city whose loved ones are laid away at Cedar Hill who deplore the present neglected appearance of the cemetery. With its natural advan- tages it could be made beautiful spot the contour Of the grounds being ideal.
 There are many reasons expressed why the city should own the site among which is the property has been offered the city at a reasonable figure and that in the event of city ownership the place would be properly cared for.

BY BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery. January 2S.-(Special)- Developments of the past week have vir- tually assured the belief that the present session of the Alabama legislature will be split one, but so far Senator c. P. Rogers of Lowndes county enjoys the dis tinction of being the only legislator to have suggested course to be pur- sued. In resolution which he intro- duced today, and which is now in the hands of the committee on rrles he asks that the legislaturs adjourn after it's thirty-fifth day until January 12. 1912, when it shall return to the capitol to com- plete it's remaining i5 days.
 In introducing his resolution, Senator Rogers urged it's passage on the ground that the solons at the present time are much hampered with the treasury deficit, and so much so that all of the senators and representatives are getting more and more chary of appropriations. The sen

Quite number of speeches were made There seems to be not a little opposition to the issuance of bonds for this purpose. but everyone Is of the opinion that the roads should be worked more systematically than they have been in the past.
