OFFICE OF J. R. LASSITER.

HENDsoNVILLE, S. C., Sept 2, 1886.
Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU Savannah Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago l operated a float
ing saw mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences l employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
ber there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and | determined to give the
medicine trial. l procured it, and those who
sick we're put on this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one Ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but JohnsOn's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. r. LASSITER.

Coal stocks are so nearly depleted
that even at this rate the gradually

fear of failure to settle the coal
strike at an early date is the cause.
Conservative dealers, however, are ad-

Special to The Globe.

TOLEDO, April A.-Young Mr. Mock
who finished for the Toledo band yester-
day started off on the slab this after
noon and the Kelley band started after
Mock. Mock brought a fine and dandy
record to Toledo from the Connecticut
league and the Saints did not do much
to that record.
Up against the Saints the young man
from Bristol resembled mostly a mutilat-
ed stamp in contac'+with the British war
debt. Mock is a young man, and once
last year held the Detroit American
league team down to five hits in an exhi-
bition game. Now StrobeI wished that
he had never heard of this record. for
the slaughter was awful.
Mock had speed, according to the tales
coming from the one fortunate enough to
sit in at the incident with the Detroit
team, but the box score gives just a bit
of an estimate on what happened to
Mock and his speed yesterday
Daniel Shay, who told Manager Kelley
that he wanted first-class transportation
or no transportation to the training
grounds from his winter home in Denver,
made good his claim for the best coIored
ticket that the railroads issue. for Daniel
swatted two of the Mock benders for two
sacks apiece, then soaked still another
for three quarterS> of the diamond, and
somewhat tired with the sprinung
around the paths, held his other two
drives down to single sackers.
Charles Chester Ferguson was on the
score card, as the Saints prize curve
tosser, AMI curve tossers are not sup
posed to lam the little leather extra
hard, but Charles Chester refused to let
Shay send all the good news home, and
reported a two-sacker and three singles
for the Ferguson end of it. Fergy
wanted to send in more complete re-
turns, but he only had four chances
with the stick. Lumley also ran, for the
Outtielder pulled out four-sacker. 1t
was not the outfelders fault that the
sacks were vacant when the neimlauf
was perpetTated.
The Saints worked fast in the field as
well as with the stick, and the infield
still looks good to the Toledo fans Fer
gusOn on the slab did not compel any
sensation, but he did not have to, fol
he and the others were taking care OF
the winning end with the stick. The
score.
