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 the senate yesterday was consumed with the reading of house bills for a first and second 1 time In order that these measures might bo finally dis posed of at the earliest possible mo ment. All tho senate'bills up for a second reading wero given a reading and were referred back to tholr ap- I proprlato committees for further con- | Alteration and report The senate Is now well up on Its work, and the coming week will doubt less bo an extremely busy one In the upper house. A large batch of bills —both of the house and senate—will be pot upon their passage Monday oi Tuesday, and the Indications aro that Interesting <« sou salons will be Indulg ed aa some of tho Important general measures ore finally acted upon. During the session the committee on military affair* reported upon the MI! to reorganise the military forces of tbs stats and rooommendod that the measure ha paeeed with one or two amendments.

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.

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.
