WHERE SOLDIERS wrpr.



the Spottavivunla IIerssshos.
When Grant Aanked Lee out Of thu
Wilderness he found him across hi
path at Spottsylvania. Both srmiei
had moved under cover Of darkness
both had moved by the flank; both
were prepared to continue the bloody
work. At Spottsylvania Lee moved
across the roads by which Grant was
advancing and formed his tle-lineA
II there Is time when two great ar
mics are moving the engineers select
the battle-ground and run the lines.
They know the strategic value Of q
few acres Of forest, hill, . crossing Of
highways or . creek. They mark the
spots where artillery can be planted to
the best advantage, and o glance Of
the eye tells them where thousand
men can be posted to hold the line
against brigade.
Lees engineers had no time to look
over the ground. As the regiments
and batteries moved by the flank to
place themselves across Grants path
they formed in battle line. Here and
there, as daylight came, the line was
advanced or retired to give 1t more
even front, but nothing better could
be done. There had been no time for
rifepits or earthworks or abatis. Dur
Ing the last two hours OF the night the
men in gray had felled trees and rolled
logs together to make brcastworks,
and thousands were asleep when the
sun came up and Grant attacked. His
battle line had to conform to Lees.
Neither had taken the advantage Of.
fered in the way Of strong positions.
In the center Of Lees line the weary
and desperate men had refused to give
back and straighten the line. This left
q salient or horseshoe standing out by
Itself, and when daylight came Lee
agreed with his engineers that II was
the weak spot in the line. 1t was in
the midst Of forest, and while not
more than three thousand men could
be massed to defend II, Eve times that
number could be massed to charge IL.
II the horseshoe was carried then Lees
army would be pierced and broken.
The men had cut down few trees and
rolled logs together-just enough to
protect them while lying down. Leo
would have retired them and straight
cned his line, but Grant was too quick
for him. The very first move on the
part Of the federal commander was q
spirited attack on the horseshoe-on
the one weak point.
Not another battle Of the war opened |
with such celebrity and tlerceness as that
of Spottsylvania. There was no pre-
liminary skirmishing. Grants object
was to crush Lee-Lee's object was to
lold Grant right there and take at
east drawn battle OF it. As soon as
t was fairly daylight Grant ordered
his troops forward by divisions. One

Reader, did you ever take SndMoNs
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KrNas OF
LIVER MEDlcINEs?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache.
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these tro1-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN Pills. It
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.
Every package has the Red z
stamp on the wrapper. j. II.

A gentle red and white cow stood by

laundryman, was shot by an unknown
person while standing in his laundry door

him is told by Tung Yung. partner and
cousin Of Tung Hi, who says some one
knocked on the door and Tung Hi, who
was in bed, got up and went to the door
The next thing he heard was Tung Hi tell
some ono that he was fool to make him
get up to take bad money, and two shots
Immediately followed. One shot entered
Tung HIS heaert and the other entered
his side but came out, and after passing
through a partition shelf, entered pack
age of laundry. Tung Hi died In fifteen
minutes after the shooting. The verdict
of the coroners jury is that the deceased

unknown. Two parties saw a man run
away from the laundry after the shooting

or black. The dead Chinaman will be car
rled to Atlanta tomorrow afternoon for
