5 Tlieicoiigressiointl convention meets at
LaGrange on the of this month,
and the people from one end of the dis"-
tvict to tlie other are looking forward
with profound interest to the result of its
deliberations. Already Hon. Thomas W.
Grimes, Muscogee's favorite son, has
fourteen votes pledged to his support,
and undoubtedly Talbot county will give
him two more. He will go into the con
vention with a solid delegation from the
Chattahoochee judicial circuit, of
which he is tlie solicitor-
general. This fact alone should
have some weight with tho convention.
It has never|been (accomplished before
within our recollection, and is undenia
ble evidence that tlie people who know
Tom Grimes best love and respect him
most. They have watched hie course in
the •discharge of (his duties as solicitor
general, and have not only become con
vinced of his ability, but are impressed
with his candor, his integrity and his
fnithftil performance of every
trust. We hope 5| that he will
he the nominee of the convention.
Titg fourth district could do herself no
more honor than to place her standard |
in the hands of Hon. Thomas W. Grimes. I
He will not only bear it gallantly to vie-- j
tory, but lie will keep above the lilfth
and slime of detmigogism and float it :
in the pure air of patriotism and states- j
manship. We candidly believe that if 1
elected to congress lie will not only
win laurels for himself, but reflect |
lustre upon the district and the state, j
We do not make these remarks dispar-!
agingly of any other gent leniiin who is in j
the field, for we believe them all to he j
worthy of trust, lmt we hope thcconven- i
tion will weigh carefully the ipialitica- j
tions of the candidates and select that i
man who seems to be most lit to repre
sent the great interests of the disrict.
Muscogee and this end of the district not
only offers to tlie convention a man in
every respect qualified to honor himself
and the people, but we otter for the con
sideration of that body vast commercial
and manufacturing interests that deserve
representation, for awhile at least, in-
national legislation.
The idea is suggested by a cotempora
ry, and it is the correct one, that this is a
period when manufactured goods are be
ing turned out or delivered by the mills
and agricultural products are cultivated
and~harvested. Everyday necessities
form the major part of the buying of
country people, and in most instances
these daily needs have^been provided
for in advance of the busy season.HIn
the city, therefore, the contingent dull
ness gives business men time to discuss
and weigh developments and probabili
ties in a way that is unusual at other
times. 9 For this reason sombre views of
the situation are more common than
when -business is more active
but£less£healthful.' fcTheJ|;most ■uni
versal errors of minds actively
engaged in trade are to mistake quietness
for stagnation and activity for prosperity.
Perhaps the most gratifying feature of
tin 1 present business outlook is the whole
some, gradual growth of popular confi
dence iu the stability and profitableness
oflegitimate operations. The production
of manufactured commodities bus been
reduced to a closer relationship with the
consumptive demands for our products,
anti stocks have declined to a healthier
basis. While there is no positive or real
prospect of a “booming” trade anywhere
apparent, the natural increase in legiti
mate consumption does decidedly promise
| to return the seller of all kinds of propev-
I ty fair remuneration for his effort and
i patience during the remainder of the
I year.
j Just because the merchants of Colum
bus are not making large sales every
the flirty-ninth congr
North Carolina newspapers are urging the |
state authorities to increase the tux valuations of I
real property in that commonwealth. They tie- i
dare that the impression has gone abroad that
North Carolina lands are next to worthless, and j
that the tax returns have contributed to |
strengthen this belief, thereby working an in- j
jury to tlie state. As a matter of fact, tlie land is
held at and brings high prices. Higher valua- }
tions would result in lower tax rates, but tlie net .
revenue of tlie state would in tne end lie the
same.
Senator Stanford, of California, it is said, I
will soon resign bis seat in the senate. “He is j
tired of public life. Recently he had an attack
apoplectic in Us nature. He will remain in the
senate until congress adjourns its session, but he
will resign in order to have his successor duly
elected so as to enter tlie senate when it meets
again next winter.”

The summer is now half gone and the
forty-ninth congress, if it disposes of pub
lic business that demands attention, is
nowhere near an adjournment. The
greater part of the session thus far has
been devoted hy the members to hatch
ing material for campaign purposes.
Both parties have been openlv charged
with disregarding their duty to tlie pub
lic in their efforts to make political capi
tal out of every important measure that
is brought up for consideration. Espe
cially is this true of tlie republican party.
Iu the early days of the session tlie re
publican senate whittled away weeks
of time in a partisan discussion of the
president and his nominations. Tlie
pension bills have been made subjects of
long and party discussions, tlie republi
cans hypocritically claiming to be the
champions of unfortunate soldiers in tlie
face of the fact that the records show that
almost all important pension legislation
has been enacted by democratic congress
es. Vigorous attacks have been made upon
the president, but amidst it all lie still
retains the confidence and respect of the
people wiio placed him at the head of
tlie nation’s affairs.
Not only have the two parties watched
I'Ulti.tUI, UmtF.-HULlIKItN.
In discussing the propriety of federal
officers becoming active participants in
local political contests, a cotemporary re
marks :
"Our Washington specials indicate that the
president is heartily in accord with tlie position
taken by the Enquirer, that federal office-holders
must attend to their own business, and not make
themselves conspicuous in local conventions as
the slaves of congressmen, prostrating themselves
to do their political slop-work.”
Tlie promises made by tlie Rational
democratic party in tlie platform pro
mulgated at Chicago fully justifies the
course President Cleveland lias pursued
in this matter. The president fully recog
nizes tiiat it was this crying shame in
which office holders engaged to such
an extent as to become outrageous that,
a“ much as anything else, broke down !
the republican party. The democratic
party pledged itself to reform all such
unwarranted proceedings if it. should
come into power, and now that it is in
power, it cannot afford to tolerate any
such conduct upon the part of federal
officials.
The Enqitrek-Si’N does not wish to be
misunderstood in its position with re
gard to federal office-holders. The demo
crat who lias and feels no interest in the
success of his party, and wito exercises
no zeal .in securing its success, is un
worthy to hold a position under the
democratic adminstration. It is not only
the right, but it is tlie duty of every fed
eral officer to sustain tlie democratic
party, and be on tlie alert in using what
ever influence he exerts to tlie best ad
vantage. It is when democrats are con
sulting among themselves as to who they
will select as candidates tiiat federal
officers should remain quiet. It is not a

The Alarming Increase in Baking
Powder Adulterations.
Among recent Important discoveries bj the food analyst
is that by ’'.ot. Mott, U. S. Government Chemist, of large
amounts of lime and alum in tlie cheap baking powders. It
is a startling fact that of over one hundred ii^erent brands
of baking powder so far analyzed, comprising all those sold
in this vicinity, not one, with the single exception of Royal
Baking Powder, was found free from both lime and alum.
The use of alum is to produce a cheap baking powder. It
costs less than two cents a pound, whereas pure cream of
tartar costs forty. Its effect upon the system ha. been ascer
tained to be poisonous, and overdoses have been attended with
fatsil results. Lime is the most useless adulterant yet found
in baking powders. It is true that when subjected to heat a
certain amount of carbonic acid gas is given off, but a quick
lime is left, a caustic so powerful that it is used by tanners to.
eat the hair from hides of animals, and in dissecting rooms to
more quickly rot the flesh from the bones of dead subjects.
'The effect of lime xipon the delicate membranes of the
stomach, intestines and kidneys, more particularly of infants
and children, and especially when taken into the system day
after day, and with almost every meal, is pernicious in the
extreme, and is said by physicians to be one of the chief
causes of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the kidneys.
Chemists have found 12 per cent., or one-eiglith of the weight,
of some of the baking powders prominently sold in this vicini
ty, to he lime. The wickedness or! this adulteration is apparent.
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal
Baking Powder—now affirmed by every chemist and food
analyst of prominence, and conceded by all manufacturers of
other brands—arises from the exclusive use of cream of tartar
specially refined by patent processes, which remove totally
the lime and all other impurities. These facilities are pos
sessed by no other manufacturer. The Chemist of the De
partment ot Health ot Brooklyn, N. Y., in which city the
works ol .he Royal Bailing Powdei Company are situated,
after recent numerous experiments, reports:
“I subject©? several samples of the Royal Baking Powder,
purchased from dealers in Brooklyn, to chemical analysis,
and I fake pleasure in stating that this powder has attained
a most remarkable purity. I am. unable to detect the slightest
trace of Time tartrate in it, while all its constituents are pure
and of the highest quality. The ‘Royal’ is a baking powder
undoubtedly of the greatest leavening power, and perfectly
wholesome. Dr. Q. GROTHE, j

Iodide of potash in that time, bnt it did me no good. I-Ast summer my face, neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and I could scarcely nse my arms on account of rheu
matism in my shoulders. I took S. S. S., and it has done me more good than all other medi
cines I have taken. My face, hotly and neck are perfectly clear and clean, and my rheu
matism is entirely gone. I weighed 116 pounds when I began the medicine, and I now weigh
152 pounds. My first bottle heljxid me greatly, and gave me an upi>etitc like a strong man.
