Selling 18th Section Timber.


Mr.. ]. b. Ringgold writes us from
White Sulphur Springs, complain
ing about the school boards action
in selling the timber from the 10th
section in township 8 north, range
l east He says he desires to buy
the section, whereas the board in
selling the timber for q paltry sum
is rendering the land valuelesss.
He claims he is a large tax payer
in Grant parish, and thus quasi
citizen, with the right to make
complaint and protest against what
he holds to be an abuse. He has
complained to Mr.. o. B. Steele,
State Auditor, who comedies with
him as to the law on the subject
We are as much opposed to wasting
the school patrimony as any one,
and will be obliged to our corre-
spondent if he will point US to the
law on which he and Mr.. Steele
coincide. Our board has always
tried to keep within the pale of the
law, and from their organization
have rather opposed the custom Of
selling timber from the 10Th Sec
ions, which was inaugurated and
kept up by former boards. and
they have only permitted two con-
tracts of this nature, of which this
under consideration happens to be
one. There being no direct inhi-
bition against the practice, and in
many instances the timber being
worth twenty times the value of
the land, some of the school direct
ors have held that they had the
same right to sell the timber that
they had to sell or lease the land
for term of years. However, for
the information of Mr.. Ringgold
and the public generally, we will
state that the school board of Grant
parish at their meeting in October,
1889, decided not to sell any more
timber from 10Th sections, and the
president was instructed to fix the
shortest possible limit consistent
with the interest and legal rights
of all parties, to contracts now in
operation.

a Real Louisiana LOTTERY.

n 4eC0A 4]OAscsnAA0 A<VSecA ~
Out upon the proposition of John
A. Morris, to give the State of Louis
lana only a paltry s500,O00, year
to run a lottery! If we are to have
a lottery at all, why not go the
whole hog and gobble all the fat!
What Is the matter with the govern
or turning the wheel himself; and
the parishes all being joint stock
holders; and the senators, judges,
district attorneys, sheriffs, clerks,
police juorors, assessors, school
teachers. constables, ETC., all being
paid out of the earnings? Now,
amt that a daisy scheme? We
only charge $4,000 as our share
for putting the government onto
the racket and the State will be
forty times better off than if she
was to take Morris proposition.
Now, here is a scheme worthy the
support of christians and moralists,
as it will utilize the gamblers of
the land and make them of public
benefit, whereas they have hereto
fore been only drones in the hive
of political economy. We feel that
it must strike all honest Legislators
as of far more utility than that
other fellows scheme, and as it is
only necessary for it to be stated to
be appreciated, we are confident
that it will be adopted as soon as
our Legislature meets two weeks
hence. Confidently expecting a
modest reward of $4,000. if not
more, for our services to the State
in urging q scheme suggested by
others, we calmly await the mo-
meptous issue between fraud and
fancy!

Good society is that where toady-

Good society is that where one

not only by birth, but BY good mani

Good society is that where 70 mn

Good society is that which - mot

The receipts OF the Louisiana lottery
company are about $25,O00.O00 year.
Not one-third of this vast sum goes back
to the people who patronize it in
prizes. It's annual net profits are about
$S,000,O00. The Patriot says that Atchi-
son contributes, by estimate, about e1,-
600 per month. The only prize won there
was won by AL Robb, the colored letter

owing to the division OF ticket into twen-
tieths. is $4,000. The following table

Mr.. Harrison has no right to
blame the people of the country for
refusing to believe him sincere in
his talk about reform SO long as he
continues to be "hale fellow we'll
met" with Senator Quay. This
week he sent for Mr.. Quay to come
to the White House and received
him with effusion when he got
there. Mr.. Harrison should re-
member that no line of battle is
stronger than its weakest part, and
that no political party is purer than
its recognized leaders.
The House has been quite lively
on several occasions this week.
The civil service law came in for
some hard knocks from both parties
and humorous criticism of the
administration by Mr.. Allen, of Mis-
sissippi, was seemingly as much
enjoyed by the Republicans as by
the Democrats. Among the stories
was the following which he stated
was q Republicans reply to the
question of what he thought of the
administration:
Wanny runs the Sunday school,
Levi runs the bar;
Baby runs the White House,
And - it, here We are.
After the uproarious laughter had
subsidized, Mr.. Allen continuing
said that Baby Mckee recently
heard some one say that Mr.. Har-
rison had been elected because his
grandfather had been a great man.
After thinking itover a few minutes

WILLIAM AND MARY.
Review of tho First Half Sessions work
at that Institution.

~ AAaA AHNiAAAAANhf
WILLIAMSBURG. VA, February 4.-lspe-
cial. doubtless many Of the readers Of
the TINES would be pleased TO hear the re-
suits Of the first half sessions work at the
College Of William and Mary and the state
Male Normal School.
OF the one hundred and eighty-siX stu
dents who have matriculated this year over
a hundred are holding state scholarships.
That means that they are pledged % teach
at least two years in the public schools OF
Virginia. The sanctity Of this pledge is
constantly kept before them. Moral and
intellectual training TO fit them for keeping
il is given day by day and hour by hour.
That they will keep IL there Is no ground TO
doubt.
Next summer, the college will begin to
furnish teachers 20 the commonwealth.
Quite large number Of earnest and ambi-
tious young men will offer themselves TO
their county superintendent.
Among the students now enrolled are
many old teachers from twenty-One 10 thirty
wears Of age They we're attracted by the
facilities offered for training IN their pro-
fesson. IL goes without saying that they
are desperately i'm earnest. Nor does II fail
TO inspire the instructors in the institution
10 see such mature lips drinking at the long
closed fountains Of venerable William and
Mary.
The schedule for examinations has just
been posted, and the students are settling
down 70 their reviews.
Several new courses are announced for
the second term. and teachers in various
sections are booked for seats.
Rev. Mr. Moss. Of the Faculty, has re-
covered from the grippe. He has been hard
worked lately with chaplain's duties, as
the Baptist aud PRESBYTERIAN Churches are
without pastors, and the college conse-
quently deprived Of their generous services.
