SCORES OF BILLS PRESENTED Though Little Business of l.uportance Ha» Boon Accomplished Time Far During Term -Days Doings Told In Full. Office of J. R. LASSITER. . „ HE.VD80Nm.LE, S. C, Sept. 2, 1S96. 31K. A. B. Gikakdkau, Savannah, Ga. 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. Good Clothes Exhibit. Everyman who reads this should come and see the array of good wear ables we have ready for men of all ages and sizes.

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 Allen House Corner, Americus, Ga, A WOMAN'S RISK At a trapeze performer is greater than a man’s.
