SELMA IN NEED

 May Be Issued 521 PAY POLL TAXES Expected Several Important Elections Will Be Held During 1912 in Dallas-Farmers to Raise

521 PAY POLL TAXES

Selma. January 23.=(Special)- At a specjal meeting of the city council of Selma which will be held Friday even- Ing the question of Selma Issuing bonds to the amount of $35,000 for the pur- pose of high school will come up for discussion and action. Between now and that time the question will be wide 1y discussed by citizens and the forth coming meeting promises to prove live one as a large number of citizens will oppose the proposed bond issue.
 The question of this bond issue was brought before the council at meet ing held Monday night by H. S. D. Nal lory and Col W. R. Nelson, members of the board of trustees of the city schools and Prof. A. R. Harman, superintendent of the city schools They will appear before the meeting which will be held Friday night and will make addresses as to why the city of Selma should au- thorize the bond issue.
 The voters of Dallas county are pay ing their poll tax in a very dilatory manner and only 521 have so far paid for their certificates which will give them the privilege of exercising their suffrage in the elections which will be held during the year. But before the closing of the poll tax books on Feb- ruary i, it is expected that not less than TOO more will have paid this tax.
 It is expected that several important elections, among them local option, will be held in Dallas county during the year and for that reason every voter is being urged to pay his poll tax. The farmers of central Alabama be- gan this week to prepare their lands for the crops of the summer. The inclem- ent weather of the past few weeks have thrown the farmers behind but with favorable conditions the work of pre- paration will be quickly completed in this section of the state. It is the gen eral belief that during the present year
 the farmers will not devote as much acreage to cotton as they have hereto fore but more land win be devoted to diversified farming.
 The farmers of central Alabama are also going more extensively into the business of raising live stock Every man that can has several heads of blooded catle in his pasture and those who already have large herds are de- voting more acres for pastures each year.
