East Lake, Ala., Dec. 8th, 1902.
Mr- A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:—This Is to certify that on Au-
gust 1st I went to Verbena, Ala., to hold a
series of meetings. Was at that time, and
had been for six weeks prior, so feeble I was
scarcely able to preach. Mr. F. A. Gulledge,
of Verbena, with whosejfamily I was stop
ping, kindly offered me three bottles of
Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, gratis. I
accepted, and began the use of the Tonic at
once- Within three weeks 1 was was much
better. In three weeks I had taken the
three bottles of Tonic and was fully well.
Took no other medicine then nor since, and
am in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteen years.

Lexington, S. C., Oct. 14.—Colonel
Croft, of counsel for the defense, re
sumed his argument In the trial of
James H. Tillman when court conven-
ed today. He reviewed some of the
chief law points and made a final sum'
ming up of evidence. He was followed
by General Bellinger, who made the
closing argument for the state.
Senator Tillman, uncle of the de
fendant, was in court today.
Mr. Bellinger devoted bis argument
to a resume of the evidence adduced
by the state laying stress on the testi
mony of eye-witnesses to the shoot
ing; also as to the threats, contending
that the statement relative to making
the defendant "show the white feath
er” was not a threat. He also made
a statement as to the law In the case.
General Bellinger closed at 112:45
p. m., two and a half days having
been consume! In arguments. Judge
Gray Immediately entered upon his
charge to the Jury. After defining
murder and the different degrees of
homicide, the court charged the Jury
that a plea of self-defense having beery
set up the jury must be satisfied by
preponderance of evidence that the de
fendant was without fault In bringing
on the difficulty; that he believed he

Some of the mills of the flooded dis

Thousands of mlH'bands will be out

Nearly every bridge and culvert on

The exact nature of the diplomatic

London, Oct. 12.—In spite of the re
assuring statements of the foreign of
ficials and Baron Hayashl that hostili
ties between Russia and Japan are im
minent, the mysterious moves of the
Russian and Japanese fleets and the
excited state of public opinion in Ja
pan are beginning to cause disquiet in
Great Britain which, by reason of her
alliance with Japan, is Intimately con
cerned In any action which the latter
may take In the Far Bast. Only the
most sanguine persons believe that In
the event of hostilities they could be
kept within the limits which would
free Great Britain from lfer obligation
to support her Japanese ally. Even
Baron Hayashl, who heretofore has
ridiculed all suggestions of war Is not
so optimistic today. Indirectly he ad
mits the possibility of war by express
ing the hope that in the event of a cri
sis Japan will have the active sympa
thy of her ally, Great Britain.
While refusing to credit the reports
an ultimatum having been delivered,
Baron Hayashl admitted that the diplo
matic situation had changed since Oct.
and that the developments may have
arisen from the failure of the Russians
fulfill their engagement to evacuate
Manchurlh on that date. He, how
ever, had heard nothing from his gov
ernment on the subject

New Orleans, Oct. 14.—The forty-
eighth annual convention of the
American Association of Pessenger
Agents was brought to a close this
morning. Old ’Point Comfort, Va. t
was selected as the meeting place in
October next year. Detroit, Chicago,
Cleveland, Put-In-Bay and Chattanoo
ga were bidders for the convention.
An Invitation was read from Presi
dent David R. Frahcls, of the St. Louis
Purchase exposition, asking the agents
to hold a special meeting In St. Louis
not later than Fob. 1, 1904. Ths
Invitation was presented by General
Passenger Agent Crane, of the Wa
bash, and Manager Sexton, of the
press and publicity department of the
exposition. The invitation was
heartily accepted and Jag. 27 was the
date decided on. Special f/itea for
the exposition will very likely be made
at this meeting.
S. H. Hardwick, of the Southern
railway, has been selected as the ora
tor for 1904. Resolutions on the death

Washington, Oct. 12.—Aside from ex
tensive military preparation* by both
nations, the Japanese legation here is
not advised that either Rusala or Ja
pan has as yet committed an act of
war. The Japanese minister is be
ing constantly advised by cablegram
from Toklo of the situation and
Ing Us gravity he it moving with gri
caution. The negotiations between
Russia and Japan according to his ad
vices a-reetlll in progress, and there
hope of a diplomatic settlement of the
question at issue. The minister to
day authorized the Associated Press
to make the following statement; His
attention being called to a certain un
authorized etatement attributed to him
that the public utterances of the Ja
panese people are aU In favor of war
with Russia, Mr. Kogoro Takahlra, the
Japanese minister, etates that while
there Is some disquiet due to the un
settled state of affairs which has ex
isted so long In the far east, It seems
that It has been aggravated more re
contly by the unfounded rumors re
garding military snd naval movements
In certain quarters, but in his Judg
ment the Intelligent section of the Jap
anese public has been generally calm
and collected up to the present Junc
ture, as they know that the matter has
been for some time In the hands ol
responsible parties of Japan and Rus
sia, and that they have been negotiat
ing with a view to arriving at an un
derstanding between them. For his
own part, Mr. Takahlra said be hoped
for the best, because the situation Is
not without Indications so far that the
Russian government candidly disposed
for a settlement of the question with
Japan and therefore so long as the ne;
gotlatlons are progressing with rea
sonable prospect with a result honora
ble to Japan, there Is no reason to be
over-nnxlous now.
