Debate by Mrs.
Shewmake's Seventh
Grade English Class

On Friday afternoon, May 7th, one
of the most spirited debates heard in
many a year was held in Mrs. Shew-
makes room at the First Ward
School by her seventh grade English
class.
The subject under discussion, Re
solved. That Franklin did more for
America than did Washington" was
discussed by these boys and girls in
a manner that would do credit to
high school pupils. Not only was 1t
evident that the pupils were well in
formed as to the subject matter, hav-
ing at hand the minute details OF the
life and work of the two characters
under discussion, but that they had
been carefully trained in the princl-
pies of debating. One could readily
detect the careful planning of the
briefs and the arrangement of the
points to be discussed. Mrs. Shew-
make requested that the judges make
their decision considering the de-
bates from the standpoints of "Sub-
ject Matter, English and Delivery"
1t was much to the credit of all
the speakers that they spoke from
memory entirely. This added I'M
usual zest and interest. The rebuff
tails showed much original thinking
and humor.
The judges found great difficulty
in rendering their decision, as both
sides made a splendid showing and
rendering of points. But, summing
up the points the decision went
unanimously to the negative side.
Every visitor present testified to the
good work of these pupils and if
they continue as they have begun
they will surely add much to the de-
batting ability of Fitz Hi in future
years, for they bid fair to be her
champion debaters. This is the sec
ond formal debate this class has held
this year and great improvement was
detected in the address Of the pupils.
These debaters have shown a great
amount of care and training on the
part of their English teacher, Mrs.
Shewmake.
The following boys and girls took
part in this debate that reflects much
credit to the pupils, to Mrs. Shew-
make and to the First Ward School:
ffirmative-Albert Gelders, Ed
die Deyo, J. T. Hendricks.
Negative-Ruby Bernhardt, Ger
trude Manooch, Mertie Watson.

Former Representative
Walker Advocates Plan to
Pave Roads Without Bonds
SUGGESTS THAT THE AUTO
SPEED FIEND GET AIRSHlP
IF TIE HIGHWAYS ARE TOO
ROUGH.

Fitzgerald, Ga, May IL, 1870.
To the Editor Leader-Enterprise:
Dear SIR
This is the year in which the peo-
pie of this great old State will be
called upon to elect by their ballot
officers to serve them for the next
term, from the Governor down to
Representative and State Senators,
yes, and Judges and Solicitors Gen
eral of tn edifferent judicie' circuits
of the State, and while t. /. are is
sues involved, especially in the Gov
ernors race, and the next Legislature
which convenes in 1927 will be again
called upon to bond the State of
Georgia to build paved highways to
crafty those who are living so fast
and going at such rapid gait until
they are breathless to wait or abide
their time with patience for sea-
son, until a business proposition can
be worked out that will meet the de-
mands. All you can hear one of
these fellows say is Bonds, Bonds. :"
Bond the State.
Mr.. Editor, I am not running for
Governor. Were I, would never
advocate bonding the State to build
/, roads and then in the next breath
say redeem the bonds with gasoline
and tag tax, for it is misleading.
Bonding the State is bonding the
property of the State, and not the
gasoline and tag tax; they are sep
arate propositions, and the Legisla-
ture could at any time divert the gas
and tag tax; it is not the property of
the State until it is paid in. No
bond buyers would likely buy bonds
based on the issue Of paying solely
out of the gas and tag tax.
Here is plan that would advo-
cate: That the Legislature fix the
law so as to give to the Governor and
the Highway Department authority
to issue some form Of negotiable GER
tificate against the income of the
State on the gas and tag tax, and
put them up for discount and raise
the money in that way to build high
ways, then there would be no COM
plication in redeeming these certifi-
Gates with this fund. 1t could be
done in the same way that the Gov
ernor did in discounitng the rental
notes of the States railroad to pay
the old soldiers-they have been sold
for eight years ahead. The Legisla-
ture could by 4roper legislation ar
range to discount those papers for
ten years at time until our high
ways are built. Our highway depart
ment is now receiving around eight
million dollars annually. Ten years
| would give US eighty million dollars,
less the discount. These are approx
innate figures but does not miss the
mark very far.
Were in position to do so I would
advocate a proposition of this kind
rather than saddle the rising genera
ton with debt upon the property of
the State to be paid by taxation.
Let's get down to a reasonable con-
clusion of this matter and not fly
into some action that we will later
regret. If there be any that wish to
ride faster and just cannot wait until
we get our roads paved let him get
one of those bugs that fly in the air
and go to it to his hearts content, or
if he does not like our roads let him
take near cut through the woods.

DURKIN IS GIVEN
 3 YEAR SENTENCE
Judge Formally Fixes Punish
 ment of Sheik Bandit

Chicago, July 2S GP-Martin J. Durkin, sheik gunman who killed Edwin Shanahan, federal agent, yesterday was sentenced to 35 years in the Joliet Penitentiary after a motion for a new trial had been overruled. A jury had fixed the pun ishment.
 Durkin's face, bruised and scratched as a result of beatings he received recently at the hands of other prisoners in the Cook county jail, was devoid of expression as the sentence was pronounced. His two sisters were in court, but his mother was absent.
 "The verdict is a just one and followed a fair and impartial trial" Judge Harry B. Miller said. He granted a 60-day stay of execution to permit lawyers to prepare a bill of exceptions on which an appeal may be based.
 Durkin, sought througoht the country for several months after killing the federal officer who was trying to arrest him for transport ing a stolen automobile, pleaded at his trial that he did not know Shan ahan was an office.
 Durkin was caught near St. Louis and still is awaiting trial on a charge of having slain policeman when he shot his way out of a police trap here during the hunt for him.

TAKE STEPS ID
 ASSIST ANDREWS
England to Cooperate ill Down.
 ing Bahama Liquor Activity

London. July 2s LPD - Aridity threatens the Bahama islands inso- far as they are fountain TOT thirsty stay-at-home Amerlcans' The oasis where the tenants Of rum row get supplies to sell oH the coast of the United States is anect- ed under an agreement reached py Brig. General Lincoln c. Andrews head of the dry enforcement con tingent in the United States, ana British government officials.
 The British government under the agreement has given the Amer jean prohibition forces certain latitude in the territorial waters oi the Bahamas, out of which liquor has been constantly making hs way to American shores and been promised other cooperation.
 Although the details of the agreement are being kept secret both the British government ana Gen. Andrews have expressed pleas ure at the outcome and unotilciai observers assert that it constitutes the greatest blow to trans-Nl lanuc hootlegging since the dry laws went into effect, It is understood that inc United states will be permitted 10 have an intelligence seryice III the Bahama islands to trace lquor shinments. and also that the Brit ish government will supervise care fullv the use of the British flag by vessels engaged in carrying alco- holic cargoes and to deal with m fractions of the law regarding clearances, quarantine and other matters.
 "The object of the officials" said a joint statement issued with re- gard to the conferences, was to secure that these infractions of law shall be dealt with and shall cease. There Is no question whatever of interference in any way in leglt- mate trade which should have no difficulty in distinguishing itself from illicit traffic.'1
 The statement added that there had been no question at the con- ferenccs of any extension of the right of search.
 The agreement will become effec- tive as soon as the machinery can be set fin order.
 General Andrews has gone to Ireland but will return Friday and give q dinner to Sir Austin Cham berain, foreign secretary, and other ministerial department heads.
 General Andrews declined to say how long he will remain on his present job. He declared, however, that his mission to London was the greatest success in his dry law en- forcement campaign, and added that he had enough in his head to give the bootleggers something to think about when he put his pincers into operations.
