The case of the state against Eliza

for trial in circuit court Monday after

quash the Indictment upon the ground
that itshould contain charge declar-

and the trial proceeded, after the is
suanceof number of rules against

duced witnesses to establish the fact
that she was the tenant and TO prove

was void of sensational exposures ex-
cept that two or three witnesses gave
evidence inferring the woman's guilt.
The defendant introduced no testi-
mony and the jury took the case with
out argument, returning verdict OF
guilty within a very few minutes.
Tuesday afternoon the court imposed
a fine 1850 and costs and sentenced

TEACHER FLoGGED APUPIL
and va. ARRESTED and tined Ior the act.

= : d
Howard Robinson, teacher in the,
upper room Of the Sardis public
schools, was arrested last Friday upon
a warrant sworn out by William Hard
man, charging Robinson with unlaw-
fully beating his little boy. The
Hardman boy was a student in the
lower room, the teacher ofwhich is a
lady. Mr.. Robinson all during the
school, by mutual arrangement, has
been inAlcting the Necessary corporal
punishment in both rooms. His right
of authority to punish student not
belonging to his own room IFS seriously
questioned by many of the patrons Of
the school and was material factor
in the issuance of a warrant against
him. Another factor was the claim
that he struck the child In the eye.
with theswitch. The. court, j. N.
Plant, held that Mr.. Robinson had the
same right to go out on thestreet and
punish q child, as he had to
punish the little Hardman boy, and
accordingly found Robinson guilty
and fined him $40 and costs.
The incident is unfortunate. Mr..
Robinson has had the reputation of a
splendidteacher. He not only feels
that he does not deserve theflne and
costs he has to pay, but he certainly
feels the humiliation of being publicly
arraigned before pupils and patrons.
His friends consider him prosecuted
and feelthat he was only doing his
duty by correcting the boy for the
good of both the boy and the school.
The school itself is likely to get a
wrong Impression and become defiant
and disorderly, in the belief that the
teacher has no right to punish. 1T is
calculated to do harm both toteaches
and pupils, as both may become In
different to good government in
school, and the evil of no discipline
will spring up, and all the harm and
danger incident thereto viii follow. 1t
is, indeed an occurrence to DO much
regretted.
