THU.fiAh IV. OltIJIKS. 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.” Distressing reports come from England to tlie client tiiat Mrs. Nell.e Grant .Simons is being shamefully neglected by her husband.

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.

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 ’• Chemist department of Health, Brooklyn, it. FOR SALE.’ fsAo.
