Of land in the vicinity of Sheffield

building houses on it and selling lots.

ROBT. D. HOFFECKER, JR.,
Editor and Business Manager.

Town Council at its meeting
Friday night reelected Eugene
Crow AMI Benjamin w. Turner to
their respective positions. Both
are good men and the town does
well to have their services, but we
question whether it would not have
been a wise move to separate the
position Of policeman from that of
street supervisor. There is enough
work in either position to keep
one mans time if the work in done
thoroughly and Systematically.
Mr.. Turner when he is wo rkin G
on the streets or hauling coal for
the town cannot systematically
police the town. Smyrna is big
enough and important enough to
support one good policeman all the
4ime and Council owes it to the
citizens to give them the best
police protection they can afford.
We are not finding fault with Mr..
Turner. He is a good, all-round
industrious man. but Council is
putting top much on him to expect
him to thoroughly attend to both
jobs. We contend that the street
supervising and town hauling
should be one job and the policing
another job and that one man for
each job should be employed tc
give it all his time and attention.

ROBERT E. LEE.
Seine Characteristics of the Great Con-
federate Leader.


"Unlike many of the leaders in the
Confederacy, Robert E. Lee had no pet
theory the maintenance of which re-
luired him to cast his fortunes with
the SOUTH" says Mrs. General Pickett
In her Personal Memoirs of Robert
e. Lee in Lippincott's. "a soldier by
birth and training, he had belonged to
the United States too long entirely to
have developed an allegiance to the
doctrine of state rights, though long
after the war he made the statement
that had not that theory been taught
at West Point there would have been
no secession.
Though invariably considerate to
his subordinates, Lee could be drastic
and dictatorlal when it became neces-
sary. and if occasion required 1t he
could outrank the president. Jefferson
Davis always claimed that he himself
was intended for soldier, not presi-
dent. and he was fond of being under
fire if he could not get behind the guns.
One day he came out on the field dur
ing a battle. Lee turned to him and
askedi
"'Mr. President. am l in command

Certainly said Mr.. Davis.
"'Then, SIR Lee replied, L forbid
you to stand here under the enemy's
guns. order you off the field

tics was the grave immobility Of his
face in times of the greatest stress of

count of the surrender.

and Immediately after the surrender
Meade called ON him.
Meade said Lee, the years are
telling on you too. Your hair is get

THAT HEARTBURN
Is Frequently Caused By To-
babcO and Liquor

What is commonly called heartburn
is nothing more or less than sour stom-
ach or accidity of the stomach. 1t is
usually concomitant with dyspepsia
or indigestion frequently caused by
the use of tobacco or spiritus liquors
and want of proper exercise. Sugar,
sweets and saccharine vegetables, such
as are easily turned sour in the stom-
ach, should be avoided, and plenty of
exercise taken. Thefollowing formula
will remove these conditions promptly

The Springfield Republican says
the United State Supreme Court
afhrms the right of newspapers TO
criticise the Judiciary or any of its
decisions "when case is finished, ."
and it makes this right as broad as
the right to criticise other depart
ments or officials of Government
and "other people. There has
existed here and there a disposition
on the part of Judges and of many
people Of influence and conservative
learning to hold the Courts above
adverse remark and discussion in
the public press. That no warrant
for such position is to be found
anywhere in our Constitution must
be admitted, but it is important
that the highest Court of the land
should say so in words to that
effect.

the letter by carrying out his sugges-

marshal stepped up to him the latter
drew a revolver and fred, the bullet
taking effect in Rutter's head.
