OFFICE OF J. R. LASSITER.
HENDSONVILLE, S. G Sc

HENDsONVILLE, 5. Z Sept. 2, 1886.
MR. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
ING saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
influences. I 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-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
Ny attention was ther called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured it, and those who
we're sick were put this treatment and those who
we're feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In 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.

ACTIVITY IN COAL FIELDS.

crmnate Against Union or Non
union Men and that Work Will Be
Given Al! Where Vacancies Are.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 22.-Thon.
sands of men began work today repair.
ing the mines and placing the coller-
les In condition for the general resump-
tion OF coal mining which will take
place throughout the anthracite coal
region tomorrow.
Those men who are directly engaged
in cutting and handling coal will not,
under the decision of the convention,
return to the mines until tomorrow.
While there were thousands Of men
who were able to again begin earning
their daily bread today, there were
hundreds who were disappointed when
they applied to the superintendent of
the collieries where they were former
ly employed. They were principally
steam men, engineers, firemen and
pump-runners, who struck on june 2
for an S-hour day, and also to help the
miners win their battle. These men
wanted their old places back, but in
many instances the company officials
refused to discharge those who stood
by them during the strike. There were
many in the Wyoming valley, however,
who were fortunate enough to find
employment.
The companies claim they will not
discriminate against union or non
union men, and that work will be Civ
en- all when there are vacancies. Dur
ing the strike the companies were
compelled to employ many incompe-
tent men to help keep the mines free
from water or from squeezing, as a
result of the lack of proper timberin;g.
Many of these workmen are still in
the employ OF the companies and the
strikers feel they will soon be dis
missed and the more competent work
nGn engaged. A mine worker who
came into the union headquarters from
South Wilkesbarre today said:
The superintendent are turning
down good many men on the ground
that they are not needed This is
only bluff, and they will be 6lad to
get our n22n u a day or two. The
workmen they have n most cases a73
green and won't be tolerated about the
colleries when the miners begin work
ing full time to catch up with the de-
mand for coal. The companies will
not take the risk of having men killed
or mines wrecked through the mis-
takes of some new man."
Although the strike is over, the pres
ence of the nonunion men is still
thorn. It is not expected the relations
between the nonunion and union men
will be pleasant when they get into
the mines together. Reports were
received today that many of the non
union men had given UP their posi-.
tions.
President Mitchell today began the
work of preparing the miners side of
the case for presentation to the arbi-
tration commission. He will, be the
leading representative Of the work
men before the tribunal and will gath.
er around him such experts in anthra-
cite mining as will be necessary TO
properly present the case to the com
mission. He said today he did not
know when he would make his first
appearance before the committee.

The Breeze Cure.

From the Hartford Times.
The medical Journals declare that to ride
IN an automobile at full speed is an excel
lent tonic. 1t sends rushes of pure air
through the nostrils into the lungs while
the beating of the same pure air against
the face has the effect of hardening the
muscles and of quickening the circulation"
This is what any brisk movement in the
open air will do, especially If the wind is
blowing Could not the effect be produced
by reservoir of compressed air connected
with six-inch pipe.
The passenger could sit in chair on the
porch and let the breeze be turned on him
at the same velocity that he would be car
ried against the air in an automobile He
could wear his leather coat and goggles and
have all the benefits of a rapid ride with
out the danger of running over pedestrians.
A steering wheel could be furnished to
complete the resemblance. From time to
time water could be allowed to trickle into
the pipe and a driving rain be produced
Or salt water could be used and the effect
Of sailing in a stiff breeze be given. The
plan Is worth considering. 1t is not pat
ented.

BARBARIC IDEALS.
Spirit Of Conflict Encouraged in Litera-
ture and Athletics.

From Herbert Spencer's Facts and Comments"
Literature, journalism and art have all
been aiding in this process of rebarbariza-
ton. For a long time there have flourished
novel writers who have rung the changes
on narratives Of crime and stories Of san
culinary deeds. Others have been supply
ing boys and youths with tales full of plot
ting and fighting and bloodshed millions Of
such having of late years been circulated.
AS indicating most clearly the state of ma
tional feeling, we have the immense popu-
larity of Mr.. Rudyard Kipling, in whose
writings one-tenth of nominal Christianity
is Joined with ninetenths of real paganism;
who idealizes the soldier and glories in the
triumphs Of brute force. and who in depict
ing school life brings to the front the bar
BARKING activities and feelings and shows
little respect for civilizing culture.
More and more the spirit of conflict has
been exercised by athletic games, interest
in which has been actively fostered, first
by the weekly press and now by the daily
press, and with increase of the honors
given to physical proWeSS there has been
decrease of the honors given to mental
powers. Meanwhile literal ure and art have
been aiding. Books treating of battles,
conquests and the men who conducted them
have been widely diffused and greedily
read. Periodicals full of stories made in
teresting by killing, with accompanying
illustrations, have every month ministered
to the love of destruction as have, too, the
weekly illustrated journals. In all places
and In all ways there has been going on
during the past fifty years a recrudescence
of barbaric ambitions. ideas and senti-
ments, and an increasing culture of blood
thirst. If there needs a striking illustra
ton of the result we have it in the dictum
of the peoples laureate that the "lordliest
life on earth Is one spent In seeking to
bag certain of our fellow-men!

From the London Graphic.
An interesting contribution to the even

who was present with his peers at the cor

previous evening. of a story by Boz.
Less fortunate peers demanded that the
number should be read aloud, but this pro-
posal being objected to as Inconsistent with
the sanctity of the place, they waited as
patiently as they could until each in his
turn received the coveted chapters. 1t had
been said that the story was "Pickwick,"
but this was obviously lapse of memory.
for the last number of "Pickwicl<" was
published eight months before the corona

Of the story is that there was at that time

French physician. DR.. BeriIlon, has been
making observations pertaining to the habit
of fnger-nail biting. The facts which he

OF diseased nervous system. He exam
ined the pupils in number of schools. The
habit is much more prevalent among girls
than among boys In some schools so per
cent CT the girl pupils had contracted the
habit. 1t was noted that the nail biters
