across the Tennessee line to escape a
warrant charging her with criminally
beatinga littlegir who was a scholar in
the public school in which Miss Scott was
teacher at .iate City. Miss Scott was
tried Monday during her absence and
found guilty Of the charge. She was
fined $50 and sentenced 10 80 days in the
county Jail. She has been summoned to

that the child was terribly beaten and
lacerated The little girl had just enter

through diffidence refused to 60 on the

the other students, and, closing the door,

the same significance Of tender rela-

Criticisms UntimeIy.

The Rathbone Tribune of recent date
has the following endorsement of the
State Land Board: "a few short sight
ed critics have undertaken to take the
State Land Board to task for selecting
state lands. These critics believe they
are champions of the homesteader aud
settler. However, their critisism ap-
pears to be untimely. The policy of
the present land board, with Governor
Gooding as chairman, is the broadest
and best, according to all accounts,
that the state has ever had. 1t is cog
infant of the mistakes of the past, and
is Determined to protect the states in
terests. When the state was organized
the government gave the state land, to
be selected by it, for the schools and
state institutions. Owing to criminal
negligence in the past, hundreds of
thousands of acres of valuable timber
and agricultural lands, which the state
should have selected several years ago,
we're scripped by the railroads. A mill
lion acres remain to be selected by the
state, much of which should have been
selected in the past, before the best
land had been grabbed up by the cor
porations. The State Lard Board is
now selecting land in large bodies, as
best it can, and is being criticized for
it. But it is only taking what it has a
right to, and it is entitled to great
deal more. These state lands are
leased, or the timber on them sold, and
the income is used to sepport the state
institutions. he income from state
lanos already leased brings in s27, 900
annually"
