HENDsONVTLLE, s. Q, Sept. 2, 1896.
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
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
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 Their called to Johnsons Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured 1t, and those who
we're sick were put this treatment and those who
were 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 1 used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

In the Senate.

The members of the upper house
of the general assembly have mapped

week. All the bills that have been
introduced have been referred to the

TAKE coNvlcTs FROM MINES.
Board of Inspectors of Alabama Take
Action Because of Mortality.

Montgomery Ala, Nov. 10-The
board of convict inspectors, after a
thorough conference over the situa,
ton, today announced that after Jan.
state convicts will no longer be
leased to coal mining companies of
Alabama.
The board was moved to take this
important step because of recommen-
dations of Physician Inspector Bragg,
who declares that the removal of
present conditions in the mines is
necessary to reduct the mortality rate
among the convicts Between six and
seven hundred prisoners are now
worked in the coal mines of the state.

lily gazed breathless at this strange
tragedy of the air. Then they went back
to the sick room to tell of the terrible
struggle for life they had just witnessed.
It did not occur to them that under their
very eyes a more terrible, more pathetic
struggle was going on daily.
There can be nothing more pitiful
than the struggle the consumptive
makes against disease. The greatest
help in this struggle is gained by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It cures obstinate coughs, weak
and bleeding lungs, emaciation, and
other ailments which if neglected or
unskillfu1ly treated find fatal termina-
ton in consumption.
vIn 1903 one of my daughters was suffering on
account of a severe cough, hectic fever, wasting
of flesh and other symptoms of diseased lungs
writes Rev Joseph H Fesperman OF Barium
Springs Iredell Co, N. c. III promptly gave
her DR.. r. " Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
with gratifying success, and she now enjoys
excellent health. This being true, hereby
heartily endorse your medicines
Accept no substitute for Golden Med
ical Discovery" There is nothing 0just

blood and lungs.

Caracas, Nov. 10.-President Castro
made a triumphal official entry into
Caracas yesterday at the head OF
$4,000 troops amidst the ringing OF
bells and a display of fireworks.
President Castro reached Los Te'
quas from LaVictoria Saturday with
out having encountered any revolu'

Los Tequas Sunday for Caracas by
train over the German railroad, the
bridges along the line which had been
destroyed by the revolutionists having
been repaired.
The flight of the armies of the rev
olutfonists continues.
Not even the Caracas revolutionary
committee can explain the cause Of
the split among the leaders of the
movement or say what has become Of
about 10000 soldiers who were under
arms as late as Nov. 2. The govern
ment officials believe General Matos
has gone in the direction of Tucasa-

President Castro intends to re-oc-

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Important Bill Introduced Regarding
Public Schools.


Atlanta, Nov 10-Several imports
ant bills were introduced in the house
Saturday, number of bills were read
the second time, new member was
sworn in, a specnal order fixed for
Tuesday morning, and Governor Ter
rell's message was read.
By three-fourth's vote of the house
the resolution was passed fixing the
bill by Mr.. Gambler, of DeKalb, to
amend the constitution so as to au.
thorize the general assembly to OK
empt from taxation all church, school
and college property, as the special
order for Tuesday morning immedi.
ately after the reading of the journal.
The house passed one bill, by Mr..
Overstreet, of Screven, to abolish tho
county court of Sereven county.
Among the interesting bills intro.
duced in the house was one by Mr..
Howell of Meriwether, to establish a
loan fund of 100000 for the benefit
of the teachers of the public schools
of the state The object of establish
ing this fund is to enable the state 20
pay the teachers promptly every
month, as is now provided for by law,
but which is not always done because
the money is not always on hand just
at the time it is due.
Mr.. Slaton, of Fulton, at the &c.
quest of the special committee of the
Georgia Bar Association, introduced
a bill to provide for an amendment to
the constitution under which there
shall be established a court of APP
peals for Georgia This is the meas.
ure decided upon by the special com.
mittee from the Bar Association ap.
pointed to devise some method for the
relief of the supreme court. The bill
was prepared by committee, OF
which Washington Dessau, of Macon,
was chairman A similar measure
was before the last general assembly,
but was never finally acted on be-
cause it was punched with the other
constitutional amendments that came
up at the heel of the session The
bill prescribes the powers Of such a
court and sets forth just what class Of
cases it shall consider on appeal. 1t
is a measure In which the lawyers OF
the state are greatly interested, and
they will doubtless make strong
effort to get it through.
An effort will be made this week to
settle the contested election cases
in the house. The committee on priv
ileges and elections, of which Hon.
Clarence Wilson, of Clay, is chairman,
will take up the first of these cases
Tuesday morning at o'clock, in COM
mittee room No. 26 at the capitol.
