Ths Sickest Men is Not Aiweys in Bed.
The meanest kind of sickness Is just to be able
to attend to duties and yet not feel equal to the task.
The eternal grind keeps many in the traces who
ought to be in bed.
A thorough course of Johnson’s Chili and Fever
Tonic would give a new lease on life to such people.
It tones up the the whole digestive apparatus. Puts
the Liver in the best condition possible. Qi^es a
splendid appetite. Renews strength and restores
vitality.

Dear Sir: Some years ago I operated a float
ing saw-mill ou the Savannah River. My biise of
operations was lieing constantly changed, and mv
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
lnflnenees. 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
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 I determined to give the
medicine a trial. I procured it, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one of the 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.

»lgn Labor Committee.
Atlanta, Nov. 0.—Quito
little sensation was sprung
Quite a little sensation was sprung
In the house yesterday by the resig
nation first of Mr. Houston, of Fulton,
and then Mr. Kilbuin, of Bibb, borh
the committee on labor and labor stalls
tics. Doth members, who are strong
labor organization men, positively re
fused to serve with the committee In
any manner whatever.
No reason was given for this action
on the floor of the house, though Mr
Houston said he would state his tea
sons later on. Mr. Houston gave out
a brief interview, however, in which
he stated that his action waB due to
the fact that the committee had been
selected with a view to bringing in an
adverse report on the child labor bill.
Tb* general tax bill Introduced In the
house yesterday by Mr. Reid of Camp
bell, chairman of the ways and means
committee, contemplates a number ol
interesting changes In the general
scheme of taxation, particularly in
the taxation of a number of businesses
or callings which have not been taxed
heretofore.
One of the most Interesting features
In the bill is the taxing of pool tellers
or "bookies," ns they are known in the
vernacular, and of midways to an ex
tent which. If approved by the legis
lature and made a law, will probably
do away with both of these attractions
at state and interstate fairs.
Another feature of the bill Is a dou
ble or a triple license tax on pawn
brokers according to their methods of
doing business.
Another new feature of the bill is
that which puts a special tax of $200
on every foreign corporation, not spe
cifically named in the bill, which opens
a branch ofTlce In the state.
Among the Important bills Intro
duced In the house yesterday were two
by Mr. Carswell, of Wilkinson, provid
ing for certain changes In the pension
laws which were strongly recommend
ed by Pension Commissioner J. W.
Lindsay.
One of these bills provides for a spe
cial pension examiner in eaoh congres
sional district In the state, who shall
be paid a salary of $500 a year from
i-e state treasury. It shall be the ex
aminer's duty to examine all applica
tions for pensions under the disability
pension law and report on their condi
tion before the name of auch applicant
can be placed on the pension roll*.
The other bill provides for the ap
pointment of a commission to propar,
a roster of all the soldi era. sailors and
marines from Georgia who took part
in the war between the states between
1861 and 1865. This list is much
needed for the guidance of tbe pension
commissioner and would be valuable
as well from a historical standpoint
