The court found that CaptainsR. y. Hay

most Of the men had no load ~ their
guns, though plenty Of ammunition was
to be had also that one sentinel wns
overpowercd aud badly hurt by the mob.
II was found that members Of the mill
itary company were cursed and assaulted
by the mob after fire was set to the
jail, and that they lost their military
identity in the crowds 1t was further
found that the attack on the jail discovered
the military sitting around on the steps
and the curbstones eating supper; also
that on the night OF the mohi there was was
an entire lack Of concerted effort orphans
for the protection Of the jail or prisoner.
Finally. it was set forth:
THAT the combined shortcomings OF tho
military allowed a life to be taken unlaw-
fully by a mob under circumstances which
justify us In concluding that the same
could have been prevented, thereby re-
necting serious discredit upon the MILF
tary called Into service.

THE RECORD
BY CLAUDE l.. COGER.
A Judicial Opinion.

Following is the decision OF
the Supreme Court OF the state
of Tennessee respecting cigar
cites:
"We think cigarettes are not
legitimate articles of commerce,
because they are wholly noxious
and deleterious to health. Their
use is always harmful, never
beneficial. They possess no vir-
tue, but are Inherently bad, and
bad only. They find no true
commendation or merit or use-
fulness in any sphere. On the
contrary, they are widely con-
demned as pernicious altogether.
Beyond question their every ten
dency is toward the impairment
OF physical health and mental
v:gor."
This opinion was given in q
decision sustaining a law for
bidding the sale or giving away
of cigarettes or cigarette paper
in Tennessee.
