The Sickest Man is Not Always 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 Chill 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. Gives
splendid appetite. Renews strength and, restores
vitality.
Office of J. It. LASSITER.
Hendsoxvxlle, 8. 0, Sept. 2, 1890. ’
Mr. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga.
Bear Sir:—Some years ago I operated a float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was living 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 pnt 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.

The Hart Schaff-

sity Suit, which
has been so long a
favorite among
young men—fel
lows who want

It is so good a

difference, though; you’ll see it at a
glance if you will look at the clothes.
Glad to show ’em to you any
time; and plenty of other suits and

We also show til the latest fads in Hats

of $50,000.
Roanoke. Ala., Oct. 8.—Five store
houses and contents were totally de
stroyed by Are at this place yesterday
morning, causing a loaa of about $50,-
000, partially covered by Insurance.
The Are started In the grocery store
of A J. Brumlt and had gained con
siderable headway before discovered.
When the alarm was given a quick
response was made by the Are com
pany, this being the flrst since tho
new water works system was put In,
and the escellent work of the flremen
saved the town from being completely
destroyed.
The stores of W. W. Wood and John
Fausett were several times ablaze and
it was thought for a time that it would
be Impossible to save either and th-
goods were taken from the shelves ant
moved Into the street, but by hard
and persistent work of tho flremen the
buildings were saved.
The losses are: A. J, Brumlt, gro
ceries, house and stock, totally de
stroyed; W. W. Wood, hardware, hous-
and contents, Including a number (-1
buggies nnd phaetons, destroyed; A,
Mootey, broker and Arc Insurance

Forty Negroes Take Places of Strlk
ere in- Alabama.
Birmingham. Alt., Oct. S.—It Is re
ported that 40 negro miners went
work at John yesterday, which Is on<
of the mines In the Blue Cicek district
where the big mass meeting was belt
the day before.
Information has been received
which is thought to be reliable, tha>
not a man returned to work at Bloc
ton, Adger of Belle I.umpter, and only
negroes at Johns. There was no at
tempt to ke p them from work, and
the Idle miners In the city assert that
no attempt will be made, and that the
sending of special deputies by the Ten
nesses Coal, Iron and Railr oad com pa
ny to protect them Is useless,
squad of 80 has gone to the mines
under charge of Chief Deputy Hemy
Cole, a very prudent and brave man.
From all the Indications, the com
pany will not recede from its position
and the miners are Arm. It is sal
large accessions to the negro mluere
now at work will be made In a fen
days, as the negro laborers from the
cotton Adds are abandoning the'r
crops and will seek employment In
the mines.
To give these new accessions protec
tlon and relieve them of fear of trou
ble from the miners Is thought to hr
one of the main causes for sending
deputies. The deputies are well
armed, and have abundance of ammu
nltlon. and are well prepared for any
and all emergencies.
Many Idle miners are In the city,
and all seem determined to stand by
the order to strike, and do no violence.
What Influence the presence of tbs
deputies will have, whether for good
or 111, cannot be forecasted.

Attack Villages.
New York, Oct. 8.—Dispatches from

tacked several villages, cables the Rio
Janlero correspondent of The Herald.
Brazilian merchants have been arrest,
ed on the charge of having been con
cerned In the Acre Insurrection.
The Journal do Brazil has received
letter from Luis Oalvez, former pres
ident of the socalled Acre republic,
saying that the governor of Manaos
has arrested him and also an Argentine
citizen named Ireno Bechlnl. Botfi
men are now Imprisoned at FV)rt Rao
Joaquin.
Gslves complains of having been
tharpley treated. He declares that
he went to recover a debt
trick of escaping from ifrmly Ued topee,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Pnt the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to a tree for torture and he would
struggle to the lost against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
ore bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach-
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
Arouses fear.
