pionship Occurs Next Week.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, April 16.-On Friday
night of next week will occur the first
debate for the state high school cham
pionship, in this city. There have
been some thirty high schools in the
race for the championship, and of
these only Fort Dodge and Cedar Falls
are left to fight out the final struggle
for supremacy Last year the contest
was carried to this point and then fell
thru on account of q disagreement as
to the Interpretation of the rules gov
erning the choice Of sides. That con-
test, tho unsatisfactory in respect to
the final settlement Of the champion
ship question, has served its purpose in
developing a strong league of high
schools turnout the state, and the de-
bates of this year have been uniform
ly declared by the judges to be of first
class calibre, both as to the argument
and the delivery of the speakers.
The Fort Dodge team is in charge
of an alumnus of the state university,
Ray Files, who is Of the class of 1905,
l.. A., and naturally will have its share
Of adherents among the local stu
dents when the big contest is pulled
off The team has been together two
years, and will put out as fine line
of argument as can be obtained from
the statistics on their side of the ques-
ton. The Cedar Falls team is also
two-year organization. and It's mem
bers work together in a way that mas
carried their colors to the front in
every contest up to the present, and
can be depended on to give the boys
from Fort Dodge struggle for the
honors of no mean proportions The
question will be the one debated In all
of the high school contests this year.

Why climb with your burden those
wearisome sleeps,
While the sluggard at ease so
restfully sleeps,7
He drifts without care on a river
of dreams,
While the sweat from your fore
head is running in streams;
And when lean from your labor
your hoardings you crunch,
He'll feed, fresh and fat at the
charity lunch.

If you gallop through life at this

To your ruinous folly pray open

Schedule Will Be Changed.

For about four weeks since about the time
the A. B. & A. changed it's schedule, the Enter
prise has been working industrously to bring
about change in schedule on the s, A L. so that
connection at Helena could be effected with the
Southern train leaving Atlanta about midnight
and bringing the thru mail from Chicogo Cincin-
natl and all the northwest.
AS has been frequently stated in these columns
the Sea Board TRAIN leaves Helena thirty five
minutes before the arrival of the big Southern
mail train and runs to Columbus at the rate OF
about twenty five miles per hour, covering the
distance of one hundred fifty three miles in about
six hours. We insisted that there was no excuse
for the departure of the Columbus train from He
lena Just thirty five minutes before the arrival OF
the important Southern train inconveniencing
travel and destroying the mail connection entirely,
both very important to all of this section of the
state.
A hearing had been set by the Railroad Com
mission for last Thursday but Wednesday night
the general counsel of the Seaboard Air Line re-
quested postponemt of one week to which we
agreed and the Commission set next Friday the
9th as the date for the hearing
Now the Southern railway will make change
in it's schedule that will do away with the necess-
ty for the hearing entirely The Southern train
will agrive at Helena just one hour before the
leaving time of the Seaboard for Columbus.
And thus we get half loaf, we get the mail
connection alright but the Southern trains depart
from Atlanta is so near to that of the A. B. &
A. that there is not much advantage to travel so
far Fitzgerald is concerned, altho along the Sea-
board between Helena and Americas they get
much better service by the change.

The County Bonds

The County Commissioners have decided to
call an election for bonds for November Bird, the
day of the National election and they have publish
ed, on Thursday October LIST, notice to that effect
The issue of bonds voted on the 4th day of
June, the day of the State primary, were alright
and sold well and everything pointed to the carry
ing out of the plan MAPPED out by the Board of
Commissioners and backed up by an almost unani
nous vote of the tax payers, but court decision,
brand new one, tnrned up, as they often do in an
unexpected place. Since the date of the election
it has been held by the Supreme Court OF the
state that where there several items or accounts
on which bonds are to be issued, as was the case
in the June bond issue-for court house, jail and
roads, (three distinct and separate amounts were
set out and advertised The court held that the
ballot should read for and against each The ballot
prepared for the June election simply provided
stfOr bonds" and against bonds"
Now this brand new court decision had not
been taken into calculation because the court had
not then rendered the decision, which was in
case taken up from the city of Lafayette
Good lawyers claim that the decision referred
to does not effect the Ben Hill county bonds for
the reason that they were validated in proper form
There was no objection or contest at the valuation
of the county bonds as was the case in the Lafey-
cite bond issued.
The purchasers of the Ben Hill bonds took note
of the Lafayette case and while it is possible that
they will recede from the position they have taken,
and hold the bonds, the County Commissions have
taken the precaution to call the election the Bird
day of November National election day, to save the
expense and trouble to the tax payers and voters
who would have to be called to the polls second
time.
If Woodin, NcNear & Moore, the purchasers
of the bonds decide that the technical objection
raised is not sufficient and that other election is
not necessary, of course the election will not be
held on November Bird.
They are anxious to keepthe bonds at the bid,
which was at nice premium, and their bonus is
still in the hands of the County Commissioners and
they have no notion of withdrawing it as they
want the bonds.
The Board of Commissioners have simply TAX.
en- the precaution to save the unnecessary expense
and delay and if the bond purchasers not salts
fed by the November election with the present
status why the election will be gone thru with
again.
The Commissioners are anxious to carry out
the original program and provide the county
buildings which will be done this winter and to
improve the roads and bridges.
The Enterprise believes the people of the
county are still disposed much, if not more, than
ever to back up the county administration in this
case and that the bonds will be voted on Novem-
Der 3rd if the election is not called off.

Ben Hill County
At Macon State Fair

The committee from the Busl-
ness League which Was appointed
TO secure an exhibit from Ben Hill
county for the Macon State Fair to
he held from October % to No

lowing letter to a hundred or more
farmers in the county, urging
them to assist the League in Sc
curing this exhibit:
Headquarters Business League,
Fitzgerald, Ga.
Fitzgerald, Ga, Oct. 5, 1905
Dear Sir: The State Fair will be
held in Macon from October 9th
to November 9TH, and the Business
League of Fitzgerald has decided
that Ben Hill county ought to be
represented at the fair with a
first, class exhibit. The League
would like to know if you agree
with this decision and what you
will do to assist IN getting that ex-
hibit together.
This is our plan: To ask every
farmer and his wife in the county
who has an exhibit that is espe-
cially good, whether potatoes, corn,
cotton, syrup, preserves, fruits,
vegetables, household furnishings,
such as quilts, laces, counterpanes,
articles of great age or interest,
stock of extraordinary size, quality
or rarity-any old thing, new
thing, good thing or interesting
thing-to send it here to the
League headquarters, just across
the street from the postoffice, by
October 2Oth-not a day later
and this League will take it in
charge, label it properly, put it
in q special car and send it to the
State Fair, where it will be nice
ly displayed in the Ben Hill coun-
ty exhibit free of all cost to you.
Now, we want you to do this and
do it now, for you realize that we
have only fifteen days to get the
exhibits together. That is enough
time if you will act promptly.
just put what you havein a wagon
and bring it to town and we will
put it in shape for exhibition. By
doing this and urging your neigh
Dor to do the same, you will not
only do yourself good, but have
chance to win some of the prizes at
the State Fair. Help your county
to it's proper place among your
sister counties and you will prove
yourself a good citizen and a parrot,
Let us hear from you at once
what you can bring and when you
will bring it, and do not forget
that you must do it before October
20. Yours for Beu Hill and Fitz.
