The friends of the Georgian haye
never been otherwise than confident of

never diminished.
O i the first ballot he easily took' the
lead, which be maintained until the
close.
At the close of the balloting on Satur
day night, Crisp led Mills only three
vot -s. and under those circumstances it
looked very much like a dark horse
would come in, bat this morning things
began to change color somewhat.
Mills bad nearly reached bis full
strength and bis only hope was to keep
Springe? and JfcMillifyin t^erape to the
finish. puring the c&rly part of the
day it looked very much like a dead

changes were very slight,

Slowly, howiver, Crisp began to pall
sway from |he lllustfioiis Tfu^an, and
it only became a question tbpo ftS to
whether he could control enough of
the votes of Springer and iluMillin to
elect him.

Prof. Haines, Consulting Chernlet of
the Chicago Boardof Health,
Gives His Opinion.
[From Chicago Tribune -i
The public is always responsive to
suggestions about the food it eats
•reat interest has been taken in tbe
investigations made by the United
States and Canadian governments and
bv the different boards of health to
show the purity or impurity of milk
baking powders, spices, and other ar
ticles of daily use in the culinary de
partments of our household-.
Just now the subjc-ct of baking pow
der is claiming pubi c attention. We
all desire pare and wholesome bread
and this cannot be had with the use of
impure or poisonous baking powder
There can be no longer any question
that all the cheaper lower grades of
baking powders contain either alum,
lime or phosphate acid.
The official analyses by the United
States and Canadian governments have
therefore been studied with interest and
have pretty clearly established the facts
upon this subject. The United States
government report gives tbe names of
eighteen well-known powders, some of
them advertised as pure cream of
tartar biking powders, that contain
alum.
The report shows that tbe Roval bak
ing powder was found the highest in
leavening strength, evolving 160 6 cub
ic inches of gas per single ounce of
powder. There were eight other brands
of oream of tartar powders tested and
their average strength 115.5 cubic
inches of gas per ounce of powder.
The Canadian government investiga
tions were of a «till larger number of
powders. The Rovs* baking powder
was here also shown the purest and
highest in strength, containing 129 32
cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce
of powder. Nine other cream of tartar
powders were tested, their average
strength being reported to be 89 cubic
inches of gas per ounce.
These figure are very instructive to
the practical housekeeper. They indi
cate that the Royal baking powder goes
more than 33 per cent, further in u*e
than the others, or is one-third more
economical. Still more importtmt than
this, however, they prove this popular
article has been brought to the highest
degree of parity - for to its superlative
purity this superiority in strength is
due—and consequently that by its use
we may be insured tbe pnrest and most
wholesome food
The powders of lower strength are
found to leave large ara-aintu of inert
matters in the food This fact is em
phasized by the report of the Ohio State
Food Commissioner, who, while find
ing the Royal practically pure, found
no other powder to contain less than 10
per cent, of inert or foreign ma t -rs
The public interest in the question
has likewise caused to he made investi
gations by our local authorities Prof
W .S. Haines, of Rush Medical Colleges
consulting chemist of the Chicago
Board of Health, has found results
similar to those reported hy the nation
al and Canadian authorities. Dr
Haines says:
Rttsh Medical College, Chicago, III
4 have recently obtained samples of
the chief baking powders in the market,
and have aabjtpted them to careful
cheipioal examination to detain it-**
their purity, wholesomeness and leav
ening powers. As the result of my tests
1 find tbe Royal baking powder super)
or to ill the others in every respect. It
is entirely free fraip adulteration and
unwholesome impurity, and in baking
in gives off a greater volnm eof leaven
ing gas than any other powder. It is,
therefore, not ODly tbe purest, but also
the strongest powder with which l am
acquainted.
Waiter S. Haters, M. D.
Cot suiting Chemist, Chicago Board
of Health,
The statistics show that there is used
in the manufacture of the. Royal baking
powder more than half of all the cream
of tartar consumed in the United
States for all purposes The wonder
ful sqle thus indicated for tbe Royal
baaing powder—greater than that of
all other baking powders combined—is
perhaps eyen a higher evidence than
that already quoted of the superiority
of this artiole, and its iudispen sableness
to modern oookerey.

A FULL REPORT FROM THE COT
TON CONVENTION
BY THE COMMITTEE.
Some Good and Feasible Plana Upon
Which the Safety of the South Can
be Made Secure—Cotton Men
Read it-
Here is a very important matter to
cotton growers.
It is the report of a committee from
the Atlanta Cotton Convention and
should be read by all. The report is as
follows;
With bankruptcy staring the cotton
producer in the face, brought about by
either over production or contraction
caused by adopting the gold standard of
values, it becomes the duty of every cot
ton grower to consider the remedy.
Tour committee appointed to address
you upou this subject at the recent Cot
ton Grower’s Congress held in Atlanta,
makes the following suggestions for
yonr earnest consideration.
There should be organized in eai-h
cotton growing State, an association of
tbe cotton producers, and in each coun
ty, a sub-ass^ ciation to act with the
Cotton Grower’8 Congress recently or
ganized in Atlanta, according to the
f allowing resolutions: *
Resolved, That tbe president of this
conyention be authorized to call this or
a similar convention at such time and
place as in his judgment may be best lo
the interest of ihe cotton growers of tbe
South.
R> solved, that the representation in
this convention shall be double the rep
resentation that each State has in the
lower House of Congress; the dele
gates to be appointed by tbe president
of the various State Agricultural Soci
eties and Alliances. That when dele
gates can not attend they shall be al-
oiv* d to appoint their own alternates.
The convention adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman.
We should urge.upon the various Cot
ton Exchanges in tbe cotton States to
act witb tbe cotton growers to formu
late rules to govern the cotton trade in
all its branches.
We should urge upon the Legisla
tures of the Soutnern States to enact a
law requiring all transportation compa
nies no- to receive any bale of ootton
that is not well packed and fully cov
ered.
The planter should require the factors
to take better care of cotiou consigned
to them.
In reducing tbe acreage we should
consider the requirement of tbe . world
for American cotton an I conform our
production to the wants of the consum
er. It is a mistaken idea that by reduc
ing the crop below the consumption of
the world that we can increase the price
when such a course would check con-
umpttou&nd stimulate the culture of
cotton in other countries
and bring about
sin equilibrium of prices. Therefore we
should endeavor to regulate by the re
duction in acreage the production of
cotton to the actual consumption of
tbe world, or in other words we would
cet as much per pound for a 7,750,000
bate crop as with a 7,000,099 bale cropi
and wheq wp consider tbe average yieiu
of oottbn"per acre is ^99 Founds we can
in some measure regulate the produc
tion; but at all times we mu3t consider
tbe effects of tbe season upou the yield
of c-iops, wbioh is beyond our control
As a general thing large crops follow
small oqes, and vice versa, lu the ex
tensive system we should regulate tbe
^reduction iu tbe same ratio as the non-
ntenaivesjsien, always keeping b.fore
us the actual cousumption ot the world,
that is, to regulate cur production to
meet tuat uousuniption without creat
ing a surplus; if we can do this we will
receive remunerative prices for our
cotton.
Wherever practicable the cotton rak
er should sell direct to the Southern
mills, as the grower would save com
mission, freight, drayage, insurance,
loss in weight, and last but not. least,
extravagant sampling The Southern
mills would save freight and excessive
sampling.
We should endeavor to have the cot
ton gold fu bulk, as it can be done
cheaper than being soli in detail.
There are too many middle meq
Thefe should be adopted a uniform
size apfi weight in packing cotton; uni
form si'ge would be beneficial for for
eign shipment. We should adopt a
atanda a sizeof bale, and require the
press builders to conform to tbe stand
ard. Wo should discard the gins that
knap or cut the staple In ginning cot
ton tamples should be considered before
oleaning the seqd.
Classification should be regulated at
the South and uniform, which can be
done by the united action of the cotton
growers and tbe Cotton Exchanges in
thq Southern States.
Good cotton is made or injured by the
cotton pickers, and we ghouid regulate
the prices of picking by the cleanliness
with which it is picked. The uniform
price by paying for cotton alone by the
hundred should bq abandoned, or in
other words a olean picker should be
paid more than a trashy or dirty picker.
If we adopt this system we will bave
clean cotton, and saye the money we
now par for trash gnd dirt. We must
pick the cotton free from all foreign
substance.
it is almost impossible to prevent
what is palled mixed packed bales, for
often we plant two grades of land which
produce two kinds of cotton, and we
often mix qoiton that has never been
rained on witb that that has stood in the
field and been rained upon; these cau-?
■«s with others, make mixed packed
bales, and the'producer is blamed and
taken advantage of on account of
cause which he could not present.
I; a thorough organization of the
coition growers in the ootton States we
can regulate cotton production and pro-
teot ourselves from all unjust exactions,
ilemands and advantages which a te now

Washington, Deo. 9.—[Special ]—
The pr sideut’s raes-age was read u—
fore iioth bouses of congress on their
assembling today. In substance, it i-
as follows:
The message begins by calling atten
tion to the reports of the heads of «!e
partmente. Concerning the work #
tbe state department the president sayk
that it has been characterized,>y an un
usual number or important negotiation-*
and by diplomatic results of a notable
and highly beneficial character.
The president announces the comple
tion an agreement witb tbe British gov
ernment for a close season iii the seal
fisheries in Behring sea until May 1,
1892.
The president recomm nds that con
gres< make ofi nses against the treaty
rights of foreigners omieiled in th*
U iited States ougnizab e in the rderal
courts.
Concerning th y attack on the sailors
of the United States Man of war, Balti
more, in tbe harbor o* Va.paraiso on
tbe 10th of Oct., and the killing of si v-
eral of their number, the president re
cites the demand for reparation made
by this government on the Chilian
thorilies, and says:
It is said to be regretted that the re
ply of of the secretary for foreign af
fairs of the provisional government was
couched in an offensive tone. To this
no response has been made.
This government is now avraiting the
result of dn investigation which has
been conducted by the criminal court
rt Valparaiso.
Concerning the influx of exile Rus
sian Jews into this country, which tbe
president estimates will amount to over
one million in the next few years, be
says. Some other considerations as
well as the suggestions of human!
ty furnish ample grounds for the re
monstrances which tie government
presented to Russia. _
Of the work of tbe census bureau,
the president says, “the methods pni-
sued have been fair, careful and intel
ligent, and have secured the approval
of the BtatiBtioans, who have followed
them with scientific and non-partisan
interest.
?HK FORCE BILL.
I must yet entertain the hope that it
is possible to secure a calm, patriotic
consideration of such constitutional or
statutory changes as may be necessary
to a choice of officers of the government
to the_people by fair appointment and
full elections. I believe it would lie
impossible to constitute a commission
non-partisan in iu membership aud
composed of patriotic, wise and impar
tial men to whom a consideration of tar
question of the evils connected with our
election system and methods might be
committed witb a good prospect of se
curing unanimity in a plan for remov
ing or mitigating those evils.
The constitution would permit the se
lection of the committee to be vested
in tbe Supreme court if that method
would give the' best guaranty of iin-
parrialitvr
This comniissiou should be charged
with the duty of inquiring into the
a hole subject of. the law of e’eetious. as
related to the choice of i ffiuers of the
National government with a view to
securing to every elector a free and u n-
molested exercise of the suffrage and as
near an approach to an equality of value

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Jadse Appointed—The Silver Question.
Blnlne and the Presidency,
Washington, Dec. 8,—President Har
rison has decided to appoint Will H.
Taft of Cincinnati, to one of thq judge
ships authorized under *p act ol' the
last congress. 44 had been his intention
flU idouR to. giye one of the plaoes to
Oh.ioi. There were only two names ever
iprioqsly contemplated by him from the
Qtate, These were John W, Waning*
ton of Cincinnati, qnd W ill H. Taft. A
few days ago the president received a.
letter from Judge Warrington with
drawing from the contest. This at once
determined Taft’s selection, and his.
Rame will be sent to the sedate when,
the person to succeed Mr. Taft as so]i<\
itor general is fixed upon.
The president will meet the silver
question half way in his annual mes
sage. He. will ask congress to author
ize the appointment of a commission on
behalf of the United States, and to give
the authority to request the European
nations to also appoint a like commis
sion, with the view to an international
Conference on the silver qnestiau. In
this way he hopes to soften the effect of
an emphatic veto of a free silver bill,
which he anticipates will be sent him

“We have handled 7,000 bales up to

“This is nearly double what we had
handled last year at this season of the
year,” continued Mr. Meil. “We have
tbe Rucker wareh* use at one depot,
and our old warehouse

safe. The farmers who patronize us

are now going into the

large businesses which are not from the
Alliance.”
THEY WON’T HOLD IT.
“The Alliancemen are not boldine
their cotton this year,” Mr. Mell went
on to say.
“They sell it about as fast as they
send ft *n and out of the 7,000 bales
received this year we have on hand
only about one tbomand. The other

ing that the alliancejnen as a rule are
more inclined to sell than the non-alli-

pay their debts, and I think this is &

Speaking of her life and death the
Augusta Gbiooioie says: MLs Eliza

183S she united with the Presbyterian
Church, but m about the year 1842,

Thus it will be seen, that she wasa

This is to certify that three years ago
Thad my left leg amputated four inches
below the knee, caused by blood poison
and bone affection. After it was am
putated there came s running ulcer on
the eud of it that measured Z% inches
one way and 4)£ inches the other, and
continued growing worse every day un
til a short time ago. I was given up to
die by the best doctors in Charlotte. I
heard of the wonderful B. B. B. I re
solved to try that. My weight at the
time I commenced B, B. B. was 120
pounds. When I had taKen three bot
tles I gained 37 pounds in weight;
when I had taken twelve bottles, I
was. sound and well, but continued tak
ing until I had taken fifteen bottles I
now weigh 180 pounds and measure five
foot and three inches high. I contend
that j our medicine has no equal as a ,
blood purifier. It certainly worked j
tike a charm. J.R. WILSON.
