COAL STRIKE WILL BE FOUGHT TO FINISH NUMBER 19 The meanest kind of sickness is just to be* able to attend to duties and yet not reel equal to the task.

Thero is Little Hope of Early Settlement. may last U..TIL WINTER. Office of J. It. LASSITER. Hendsonvii.lk, S. C, Sept. 2, 1S9G. Mr. A. B. 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 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. ‘Be It Ever So Humble, There’s No Place Like Home. Overt/body s Coming Jfome from Cvergwhere. From the lake, from the seashore, from the dressy hotel, from the fish ing camp, from the old farm, from a few days “off,” and from all sorts of outings. Nowhere to come but back, and mighty glad to get back. No nicer town in the world to come back to, and we all help to make it so, if we do say it ourselves. Now you are home again, how about your Clothes ? Isn’t your wardrobe a little depleted, after the hard racket you have given your clothing during your outing ? If so, we just want to remind you th?t our Fall and Winter Suits are in waiting for you. Prettier, swelier, or more desirable suits you never feasted your eyes upon. This is the home of new ideas, and we will wager anything that you will never complain of a single price we name. Come see.
