Mil A. L. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:—Some years ago I 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. I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted its 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 thee called to Johnson’s Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine a trial. I procured ltj 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.
Appropriation* Bill.
Atlanta, Nov. 29.—Tho house got
well Into the light on the general ap
propriations bill yesterday, holding
morning and afternoon sessions, and
adjourning Just as action was taken
on the appropriation to the state san
ltartum until 9 o'clock this morning
When the work will be continued.
After a warm debate, lasting nearly
two hours, the state sanitarium bin
was given 1310,000, an Increase of
120,000 over last year’s approprlaUon,
but $20,000 less than was as. ?d- on the
ground of absolute necessity.
A similar debate was had over the
$2,GOO Increase to the School for the
Deaf, on the theory that all tho appro
priations should be reduced, but that
increase was finally given, the total
appropriation being $27,500.
The number of house pages was cut
to six, and the senate was given
only three Instead of four pages. Some
eight or ten assistant doorkeepers
were lopped off.
It was provided that the salary of
the superintendent of the state sani
tarium should come out of the appro
priation for the maintenance of that
Institution.
The foregoing were the most !m
portant changes made In the bill.
When the house meets this morning
the first matter to bo taken up will
be the appropriation of $22,BOO to tho
state university.
In the Senate.
Tho greater part of tho session cf

This Will Be Busiest Week of the
General Assembly.
Atlanta, Dec. 1.—This will be the
busiest week of the session with the
general assembly. The senate to up
with all of Its work except the bills
which will reach that body today.
The house will finish the appropri-
atlona bill today and then for a few
deys the senate will have all It to look,
ing for. The bill will, of course, have
to go to the’senate finance committee,
but it H predicted the committee will
make short work oqit and It Is ox-
pected the senate will have passed
it by the end of the week.
The house has several appropria
tions before It yet which will cause
interesting discussions. The first ap.
; iropriatlon that win he taken up when
consideration of the MU is resumed
will bo tho appropriation to the Sol
diers home. The appropriations com
mlttee, after a hard fight, cut this
appropriation to $12,500, which 13
$2,600 less than was given last year.
An amendment will bo offered in
the house to restore the amount tak
en away and two interesting sides to
the question will undoubtedly be pre
sented.
Immediately following the Soldiers
•me tho appropriation to common
ehools will come up. This the com
mittee put at $800,000, tho same as
last year. There la every Indication
also that an effort will be made to
cut this amount, but it Is bel.fved It
will bo allowed to stand, as has been
the case with all the other appropri
ations except that to the state sani
tarium.
Tho house Is so congested with
work that It has been found necessary
to hoM two sessions a day during the
remainder of tbs' session. The meet-
Inga hereafter will be from * o’clock
m. to 1 p. m., and from S p. m. to
8 p. m. Nest week there will prob
ably be night sessions.

whenever It to completed, the fran-

General Appropriation Bill Is Finally
Completed.
Atlanta, Dec. 3.—The house finally
completed; the general appropriations
bill yesterday, the time of both morfi-
Ing and afternobn sessions having
been consumed, and the hill will go
to the senate today. Altogether tour
days were consumed In consideration
of the measure, three of thorn In com
mittee of the whole.
The bill as passed by the hoqao
contains only one change from the
shape In which It cam* from the com
mittee of the whole. It was provided
by the house that the $10,000 for th*
department of agriculture eholl come-
out of the fertilizer Inspection fund
Instead of from the general fund in
the treasury as was the cose | n the
committee bill.
Some of the appropriations uroro
fought all over again on the floor of
the house, the hardest struggle, per
haps, being had by tho military item.
An old Isw, approved in 1880, was re«.
urrccted by- Ma Rankin, of Gordon,
which made an annual appropriation
of $7,200 for the expenses of tho mil-
Itary establishment of the state. Mr.
Rankin made the point cf order that
the military appropriation was thus
fixed by law, and ho offered an amend,
ment fixing It at that amount. ,
This law and Mr. Raskin's point
produced consternation In tho ranks
of the friends of the military for a
few minutes, but they rained and on
the final vote tho $20,000 appropriation
carried she day.
Likewise earnest efforts wero made
to cut the appropriations to the Tech,
“logical school and Several other In.
stitutiors and nearly two hours wore
spent In the effort to cut Indigent Bob
(Hors down from $410,000 to $388,000,
but none of these efforts were suc
cessful, snd with the exception of tha
one change noted, the Mil won passed
in Its entirety** it came from tiro com.
mlttee of the whole.
There was a long fight In the houso
looking to a reduction In the amount
given to Indigent pensioner* from
$410,000 back to $386,000, the amount
given by the appropriations committee,
but It was unsuccessful, and the pen-
slon figures remain Just as they were
fixed by the committee of tho whole.
There was no attempt to chan go any
of the pension funds except that tol
