Dear Sir:—Some years ago I operated a float-
inft saw-mill on the Savannah Itiver. My base of
operations was lieing constantly cliuugetl, anil my
nand.s were always exposed to the worst malarial
•influences. I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted us much in water as
•ait of it. For this reason, in August and Septcin-
1st 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
ou I used nothing else but Johnson’s Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly.

QUESTION. OF GUARANTEES
Italian Foreign Office Recognizes Cor-
rectness of Secretary Hay's Note
that Continuance of Blockade Will
Further Impoverish Venezuela.
DEFENDED HER GOOD NAME.
Mrs. Effice Carson Slays Robert Rigsby
In Macon.
"aeon. Ga.. Jan. 13.—A tragedy oc-
jwred la this city yesterday in which
"° bCTt A. Rigsby was shot to dsath
“7 Mrs. Effle L. Carson In a Macon
Jaw offlcA.
Tho killing, sensational and thrill-
ln * as It Is, was the sequence of a
tusrrel which originated several
wreks ago.
It was a quarrel In which two bus-
mess colleges of Macon—the Georgia-
A-abama collage, of whlah Professor
“ 1* Martin Is principal, and the Ia-
nl*r Southern Business college, at the
»«ad of which Is Dr. J. D. Lanier, lig
hted.
Mre. Carson Is teacher of telegraphy
!**• Georgla Alabama college and
>o*ng Rigsby was a student In the
i-snler Business college.
ft Is alleged that he made remarks
cwiectlng upon the character of Mrs.
vwrson aa a woman. She Indignant
ly denied thsm, and seeklag out Rigs
by shot him to death In the law office
ef Colonel Marmaduke Bayne.
The affair haa created a profound
sensation In Macon, as both parties
*fe prominent.
Rome, Jan. 12.—Negotiations be
tween the co-operating powers rela
tive to raising the blockade of the
Venezuelan coast are proceeding, the
main point being the question of guar
antees for the payment of claims
should the warships bs withdrawn.
The Italian foreign office recognizes
the correctness of the contention In
Secretary Hay's last note, that a con
tinuance of the blockade will only fur
ther Impoverish Venezuela and make
the settlement of the claims more dif
ficult, and Is desirous of meeting the
suggestion of the United 9tatea. At
the tame time It cannot act without
an agreement with Germany and Great
Britain. As the quickest solution the
suggestion Is again mooted whether
the United States might not again be
naked to guarantee the payment of tbe
sums awarded, now that tbe situation
haa become to completely changed.

PROCEEDS IN CHICAGO
Conspiracy Indictments Hay
Be Found
AGAINST COAL COMBINATIONS.
As a Result of Labors of Special
Grand Jury Indictments Against at
Least Six Members of Soft Coal
Combines May Be Returned.
Chicago, Jan. 14.—Conspiracy in-
dlclDK-nts against members of at least
three hard and soft coal combinations
doing business in Illinois and Indiana
are expected as a result of the labors
of the special grand jury In (he fuel
famine Inquiry. It Is considered pos
slble that these Indictments will in
clude witnesses who have appeared
before the investigating body. This
it Is asserted, can and probably will
be done through corroborative evi
denee secured tending to prove guilt
brought to the attention of the grand
Jury by the witness' own testimony.
The jurors were advised today. It is
believed. In what Instances the evi
denee Is deemed strong enough to con
vlet and true hills may be found late
today or tomorrow. • Assistant States
Attorney Barnes, who Is the chief pros
eciitor n criminal eases, has been call
ed In to aid In designating the men
against whom sufficient evidence has
been secured, and his advice is taken
to mean that criminal prosecutions are
a certainty.

Guarded with Strict Secrecy.
Frankfort, K.v., Jan. 14.—Henry E
Youtsc.v was recalled before the
Franklin circuit court grand Jury this
morning for his fourth day behind

urday tc prevent any of his state
ments fiom becoming public, prevail
ed again today, deputy sheriffs guard
ing tho door to the grand Jury loom to
prevent possible eavesdroppers from
getting nil Inkling as to what he Is
telling. Youtsey looks better and less
haggard than at any time since he
donned prison stripes.
Not since the-day of the assassina
tion has there been such intense inter
est In this noted ease.

To Work on Different Lines.
New York. Jan. 14.—Referring tc
The Cologne Gazette'! assertion that
next to the British Ambassador Paun-
cefote, no diplomat enjoyed In Wash
ington such popularity as Dr. Von Hoi-
teben. a dispatch to The Times from
Berlin says. There is an Impression,
however, that Baron Speck Von Stern
berg Is to he Instructed to work on
different lines and to try to empha
size the community of American, Ger
man and British Interests as far as he
can. His antecedents and sympa-
thles. it Is believed, qualify him for tbe
role.

on Broad street adjoining the Read

At 2:45 a. m. the fire was under con
trol.
The building is owned by D. P. Mon
tague and was occupied by the Chick-
amauga Carriage works. The carriage
works was partially destroyed. Loss
not great.

FIGHT PRETENDER’S
Inhabitants of Fez
Against Sultan.
Rise
ANXIETY ..REIGNS AT RABOT.
Europeans There Are In Fear of an
Immediate Attack by the Pretend,
er's Forces—Reinforcements Dis
patched to Sultan.
Madrid, Jan. 13.—Fighting Is pro-
ceedlng between the troops of the sul
tan and the forces of the pretender to
the throne, according to a dispatch re
ceived by The Globe from Fez. The
followers of the pretender are said
to be overcoming the Imperial troops.
The correspondent of The Globe
adds that tbe inhabitants of Fez have
risen against the sultan and that
anxiety reigns at Rabat, where the
Europeans are in fear of an immediate
attack by the pretender's forces.
The sultan's representative at Tan.
gier has been ordered to seize cattle
and to despatch reinforcements to the
sultan.
SITUATION IN MOROCCO.
Tangier a Hot Bed of Intrigue and
Treachery.
New York, Jan. 13.—While the Mo
rocco affair is more serious so far as
tbe Sultan's reported defeat is con
cerned. The Tribune's I.ondon corre
spondent rabies there Is no apparent
danger of International complications.
The accounts are vague, and come
mainly from Tangier, which Is a hot
bed of Intrigue and treachery. Even
If the sultan should be forced to re-
treat from Fez and appeal to the pow
ers for assistance, It Is not probable
that they can be drawn Into a danger,
ous entanglement. They ran readily
accommodate themselves to a change
of rulers In Morocco when It is Incon
venient for any power to assume the
responsibility of restoring order
among the barbarous tribes.
The excitement Is not Increasing In
Madrid or Paris, and neither German
nor British intervention is probable.
