To Vote For School Tax.

On the petition of several hun
dred taxpayers Ordinary @. NJ
Wise has ordered an election to b(
held in the Countyon Sept. 18th tc
determine the question of taxation
for school purposes under provision
of the law County School
Commi ssioner r. j. Prentiss has
the hearty cooperation of the best
citizens in the country district in
his efforts to improve the schools
Of the county and there seems to
be no sort of doubt but that the
election will discover the fact that
they are practically unanimous for
the school.
The Enterprise is proud to see
Ben Hill adopt in the very first
year of existence the best that is
to be had on educational lines. Its
a credit to the intelligence of our
citizenship and means a great deal
for the future. This is an age of
education and en- lightenment and
the people who do not recognize
the Importance of educating their
children stand in their own
light and do their children the
greatest possible injustice.
1t goes without saying that Ben
Hill County will vote the school
tax.

The Enterprise believes that
with the cooperation of the people
of the county, which he seems to
have, County School Commission
er r J. Prentiss will do more for
the schools during his first term OF
office than has been accomplished
in the ten years past.

Agreement OF Several Points Not Yet
Reached.

st. Petersburg, March e.-The Assoc
ciated Press is authorized to deny the
report published in st. Petersburg and
London that the Anglo-Russian negotia-

can be said that an agreement on sew
eral points has been reached. and that
better progress is being made than with
the Russo-Japanese negotiatio but the
completion of an entente cordiate may
not be expected for long time.
1t is understood that the points already
settled with Great Britain include thu
question of Persia, as the uncertain trend
of events in that country necessitated a
prompt decision. The unrest in Persia is
