SPRAGINS IN HIS SEAT
BY BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery. January 3l.-(Speci7l.)-
Resenting the publicity which has been
given to reports which have emanatod
from legislative halls, to the effect that
legislation would be blocked until all local
option matters have been adjusted. State
Senator Godbold of Wilcox county today
introduced a resolution in the upper body
in which he seeks to have the senate de-
clare itself opposed to such tactics. The
resolution, after a fairly active debate,
was referred to the committee on rules
for a report.
In explaining his resolution Senator
Godbold said that the senate should re-
sent such implications, and that the leg
islature as whole should put itself
on record as denouncing such rumors. He
stated that the impression spread through
the state was not the most savory, and
that he thought it would be best to have
q measure passed which should dissipate
such ideas.
Senator Atkins, talking on the score of
personal privilege. stated that he regret
ted the currency which has been given to
an interview with him, in which he Is
said to have stated that the senate would
see to 1t that all important legislation
would be blocked until local option
bill had been agreed upon. He said that
he had not at any time, nor would at any
time, pose as a leader of the senate. thus
placing himself in a position of speaking
for that body. He stated that his state
ment was misconstrued as being the
sentiment of the senate.
Senator Stevens of Mobile objected to
the senate taking cognizance of any
newspaper matter. He stated that all
newspaper accounts pertaining to the
senators should be handled individually
and that the senate should not in the
least dignity such reports by passing

G ARNISHMENT BILL TO BE
HELD UP FOR SOME TIME
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, January 31.-(Special)-So
bitter has been the campaign against the
punishment bill of Representative Per-
CIV that it is understood that 1t will be
held up for some time, and that 1t will
eventually be SO amended that 1t will not
prevent the issuance of garnishments by
inferior courts when the garnishments
are issued for the collection of debts
made for the procuring of the necessities
of life. The garnishment bill is said to
be aimed at the loan sharks, but 1t was
so constructed as to attract the opposi-
ton of the country and suburban mer
chants who sell to railroad and corpora
ton employees on the assignment of their
wages
Ex-Mayor Scott of Ensley led the at
tack from Jefferson county, and an Ems
ley delegation is on the scene at the pres.
ent time. Speaking for that lobby,
Charles DeLacee stated today that he
and his co-workers feel exceedingly good
and confident that the bill will either be
amended so as to eliminate from it's pro-
visions the little merchant or that it
would be defeated.

GREAT AND NEAR-GREAT
PUBLIC MEN IN ALABAMA
By WALTER HARPER

I He stumbled all over the stock Of
| brogan shoes and lost all he had but car
fare and his courage.
But I am skipping some of the good
things.
Louis found a position few days after
he landed in New York His salary was
to be $25 week. He worked four days
and quit. He did not even go after his
money. The salary was too small for
him. He could not afford to fool with
such a measly job.
After three years in New York, Louis
came south, landing at Swaynesboro, Ca,
with 81. This was a small fortune COM
pared with the amount he had when he
landed in America and he made good
use of 1t.
With this capital he bought a pack of
goods and peddled them over the coun-
try. As he sold out he bought more and
continued doubling his money until he
had quite a profitable business.
He later opened a store at Swaynes-
boro and did a thriving business. But
he was single in those days and admits
that he was not as careful with his
money as he might have been. But
something happened about that time. He
went to New York and married.
This was the real turning point in his
career. He began to save and look WISE
ly to the future
After four years in Swaynesboro he
closed out his business and came to Bir-
,,,tv, rxl,o -l,o+
March. He landed here on the 25th. He
had $3.50. Then happened the brogan
shoe episode.
Not discouraged, however, he opened
business again, this time in little store
in the corner of the building which he
now occupies.
The rapid development of his business
here is the history of yesterday and to-
day and the chapter will continue into
tomorrow.

To walk the streets in strange city
In strange country where the people
and the language are unknown for lS
hours without a bite to eat or penny to
Jingle in ones pockets is far. from be-
ing a dream of joy.
Such an experience is rather tragedy
and not largely conducive to ambitious
aspirations.
To rise from such situation to the
head of a strong mercantile estaphsh-
ment with a credit rating along with the
big financiers of the country within a
shorter space of time than it would take
your youngest child to reach his majority
would sound like an Arabian exaggera-
ton.
Yet this was the experience of one of
Birmingham big department store pro-
prietors.
Among his intimates it is known that
Louis Pizitz began his real business ca
reer in America as a peddler, packing
pack on his back over the red Nils or
Georgia, selling linen, hosiery, calico and
notions to the housewives along the dusty
byways and In the rambling streets OF
Swaynesboro, Ga.
But that was after a rather rocky ex-
perience in New York city where he
made a number of stabs at fortune be-
fore migrating south in search of-Bir-
mingham.
He was fortunate enough to find
friend in New York after time. You
can find somebody from any corner in
the world in New York il you have the
patience to look long enough. Louis
had to find friend and he had the time
and perseverance to look Perseverance
and pluck have always been a large part
of Louis Pizitz's stock in trade, or his
capital
This friend, or acquaintance, who per-
haps knew Louis as the son of Jewish
rabbi In Russia, loaned the young immi-
grant SIS. About the first thing he did was
to eat Let me say to his credit that the
money was paid back within due time
and IL Louis was ever entirely out of
pocket change since no one in sBirming-
ham knows anything about it, though he
had narrow escape when he first came
to this city IS years ago and opened a
store on First avenue stocking up on
brogan shoes, commodity that was not
in demand in this neck Of the woods.

for the bill generally referred to as the
'viaduct bill" This bill grew out Of
the fight of certain merchants and own
ers of property In Birmingham against
the closing of streets, alleys and avenues
from Twenty-sixth street to Thirtieth.

The bill in question seeks to give city
councils the right to close streets when
in the opinion of the members of the
council such course is necessary for the
protection of life and limb, and for the
continued growth and material better
ment Of the city concerned.
City officials of Birmingham are in

CochineaI insects.

Before many years cochineal scarlet
will have become thing of history
only. like the Tyrian purple of antiqui-
ty. That is the conclusion of NJ. Leon
Diguet, who has been studying the
state of the cochineal industry in Mex
leo. The first specimens of cochineai
were taken to Europe by the Spanish
adventures in the sixteenth century.
The Indians had cultivated the coccus
cacti. from which the color is derived
in pre-Columbian times. and after the
Spanish conquest the industry devel-
oped rapidly. The city of Oaxaca was
the center of the cochineal country in
the days of Humboldt, but only few
plantations Of the nopal cactus. on
which the insects are fed, now remain.
The female insects only are used to
form dye. and they are gathered by
brushing the branches of the nopal as
soon as they begin to lay their eggs.
They are then desiccated in ovens or
killed with boiling water.

COMMENCING next month, the various
school boards of Wisconsin,, outside
Milwaukee, will have a new and I'M
pleasant duty to perform, placed upon
them by that lObbied mOnstrOsity passed
by the last legislature, known as the
Teachers Pension law. Under the pro-
visions of the benifcent (?) measures,
wheedled through the Legislature by all
articles known to male and female
lobbyists, including receptions to mem
bers at the university parlOrs, each
school board is required to withhold
one per cent of each teachers monthly
salary for the creation of state pen
sion fund. Not one teacher in 100
whose wages will thus be withheld will
ever receive any benefit from this fund,
but that matters not to the high-priced
educators who promoted the scheme,
nor did the fact seem to be fully con-
sidered by the legislators who voted for
the bill to please the lobbyists. Every
young girl who has entered the teach
ing profession, possibly to aid her par
ents, or to secure funds for higher
education for herself, no matter how
small her monthly wage may be, will
have her little portion taken from her
by the action of the law, and with no
other consolation than that at some
time during the next twenty-five years
some high school principal or teacher,
who has been drawing a salary of many
times her own, will be able to retire
and live on his savings together with
pension from the state. Added to the
amount which the little school man
will pay for this purpose, the taxpay-
ers of Wisconsin will contribute $78, 900
annually to the pension fund. If there
was justice in this law for the teachers
it might be said to have some redeem
ing features, but there is none, and it
stands on the statutes as another in
stance of the remarkable power of
some lobbyists on the last legislature.
1t is ''class legislation in its most en-
phatic form, for the benefit of a very
few at the expense of the many, and
in direct contradiction of the progress
sive principles of vast majority of
Wisconsin citizens. Black River Falls
Journal.

Excursions to ElkhOrn.

For years the special train service
provided for the Walworth county fair
at ElkhorN has been the best maintain
ed by any county fair in the northwest.
Thousands of people at a distance are
enabled every year to visit the fair who
would otherwise have to forego the
pleasure for lack of transportation ia
cilities. Trains are run from various
points within a radius of fifty or sixty
miles and excursionists are usually
landed upon the grounds not later than
$50. AS trains do not commence leav-
ing until about $50 in the afternoon,
visitors have long day IN which to
view the exhibits, see the races and
various other attractions.

FIGURES showing the extent of econ
omy and retrenchment of the railroads
Of the United States since the inter-
state commerce commissions denial of
a general advance in freight rates have
been disclosed. The calculations show
saving of $94, 900, 900 year in wages.
A report, prepared by railway officials,
giving returns from roads operating
nearly 60 per cent of the railway mile
eye of the country, or 139, 755 miles,
shows that these companies had re-
duced the number of persons on pay
rolls by 81, $40 on April 80, 1911, as
compared with April 80, 1910. Upon
this showing is the fact that the mile
age operated had increased Upper cent.
This is decrease of seventy employees
per 100 miles of line, or 9 per cent. II
the same proportion of reduction had
been carried out for all the roads in the
country, the number of men laid off
would amount to 1876, 300.
