VOLUME 17
Griffin,
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive towu in Georgia. Tins is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
lire years will show. 7
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
actory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
a . ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
or y, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
Ui.ited States, and has many other enter¬
prises in .outemplation. It has secured
another. abroad ninety miles long, and while
ooatca on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
end Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the West, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its five white and three colored
ohorches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one-flfth. It has at-
t rarle ’ a-ound its borders fruit growers from
■early every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape ar.'l its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
sud simply shows the progress of an already
udinirable city, with the natural advantages
of having Die finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and ruling country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
wilt have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7 ,,03 people, and they are all of the light
ort—wide-uwake, up to the times, ready to
weleome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only one tiling we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody tint wants a good loca-
tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention

A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
Bread, biscuit and cake, now generally made by tlie
aid of baking powder, enter so largely into our daily food
that their debasement by the introduction of any inju¬
rious or deteriorating substance is a matter of serious
concern to the public health. What baking powder shall
we use to avoid the lime and alum now found in so many
leavening agents, and to insure pure, sweet and wholesome
bread, is a question, therefore, of direct importance to
every individual.
The “Royal” has been determined by the Govern¬
ment chemists and the most prominent food analysts to be
the only baking powder made that is entirely free from
lime, alum and other impurities, and absolutely pure. It
is made from cream of tartar refined for its exclusive use
by patent processes by which the tartrate of lime is totally
eliminated. No other baking powder manufacturer uses
chemically pure cream of tartar, and hence the adulteration
of other brands. The “Royal” is, accordingly, the only
baking powder that will produce perfectly pure bread,
biscuit, cake, pastry, etc,; and these articles are now pro¬
nounced more wholesome when raised by the Royal Baking
Powder than when leavened by any other agent.
• It is particularly a question of health, therefore, what
baking powder we shall use; and those who appreciate the
miseries of dyspepsia and other ailments that follow the
use of impure food, will not hesitate to select the “ Royal.”
THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
The Stab is the only New York newspaper
possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the political battle
ground Jeffersonian of the Republic. and simple,
Democracy, pure
is good enough for the Stab. Single hand¬
ed among the metropolitan press, it has
stood by the men called by the great Democ¬
racy to redeem the government from
twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in onr national affairs,
and of continued national tranquility and
prosperity. For of Democracy
people who like that sort
the Stab is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economic ally
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by the Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nually from the people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite Waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘•protective taxationthe Star’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i u-e and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are. is good the best
The Sunk ay Star as as

it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto

“No, I do not think that amateur pho¬
tography is supplanting out door sketch¬
ing,” said a well known Fulton street
dealer in artists’ materials a few days
since, in response to a question of a re¬
porter. that
“While I do not say the converse
of that proposition is true, I do know
for a fact that a larger number of sketch¬
ing classes have gone into the country
this summer than ever before, and, as a
rule, these classes have bad..a very large
membership. It is a theory of mine,
which, I think, can bo really demon¬
strated, that there is readily no reason
why the sketch artist and the amateur
photographer should not work in perfect
harmony, and that the union will be
greatly to the benefit of both.
“I can give you an instance,” he went
on; “where the camera has been of un¬
told service to one of the artists on a well
known magazine. Formerly this artist,
of more than local renown, used to
sketch wholly from nature, but now,
when making a tour through England,
Scotland, or where lie may chance to be,
he always carries his camera along, and
when ho comes across a pretty bit of
landscape, a ruined castle or anything
else lie wishes to preserve, ho at once
takes a negative. Thus you see that in
a few weeks’ time he can take hundreds
of negatives, while months would be con¬
sumed on his tour if he were compelled he
to sketch each view himself. When
reaches home he throws the negatives
onto a piece of cardboard, touches them
up with India ink, then in some way de¬
composes the silver on the plate, leaving
the India ink drawing in its place. The
drawing is then photo-engraved and is
published in the magazine as a bona fide
sketch, while, in fact, it is purely a piece
of mechanical work.”—New York Mail
and Express.
IIow to Test a Mushroom.
The mycopliagist selects from wood or
field a specimen of toadstool which by
its external appearance extends an invi¬
tation to try it. Hard, dry, leathery,
fetid, slimy, or decomposing ones are
left rigidly alone—as they should be.
Carefully removing the fungus from its
habitation, and after noting its botanical
characteristics, a small piece is tasted
raw; if it is nauseous, It is thrown away
and branded as non-edible; if it is hot,
acrid, or bitter, a small piece is cooked
without seasoning; if it retains any dis¬
agreeable qualities over the coals, them it is
branded in like manner; if it loses
all, larger pieces are cooked and eaten
until the kind either gives signs of nox¬
ious qualities or proves to bo harmless.
If the specimen is mild and pleasant to
the taste (a small piece) both raw-and
cooked, the same care is observed until a
full meal is eaten; and it is very neces¬
sary that it should be; for in one family
of gill bearing toadstools—the AmaniUe
—no sign cither cooked or raw is given
of its deadly properties. This is the only
family to which deaths have been traced;
and the botanical characteristics of its
members must be thoroughly mastered.
There is no other method of testing that
is safe. Charms of salt and silver are as
useless as the romances of the fortune
teller, and even worse; for, if believed
in, they inspire a confidence that leads
directly to serious results.—Charles Mc-
Uvaine in Lippinoott’s * Magazine. * '

THE PIKE COUNTY BREACH.
How Judge Allen Foiled to Bridge the
Chasm.
Editor News:— Tbe two wings ol
the Democratic party, Antis and
Pros, each met in Zebulon, Pike
county, on Tuesday, Aug. 7, with
a delegation from primary election of
the various districts of the county,
for the purpose of electing delogates
to the gubernatorial convention,
which met in Atlanta the next day,
and also nominate representative
candidates for the next General As
sembly. Now, former resolutions
from both sides embodying the same
substance having been accepted by
Antis and Pr03 as a basis of settle¬
ment cnbocal and past differences be
tween them and there being nc hob
by to run on, the conservatives set to
work to harmonize and heal tho
breach of the long continued laoera
ted wound, between the two disaffec
ted parties. To do this I submitted
a proposition in writing to the chair
man of the Anti convention, for the
consideration and action of the con
vention. He directed that I hand it
to the secretary to be read by him,
which I did. After waiting quite a
while for its reading seeing a pro
per opportunity ol leisure in tbe con
vention, I appealed to the chair to
hear it read for tho consideration of
the convention. The proposition
was that a conference committee be
appointed from both sides to arrange
for the harmony so macb desired.
My appeal was met by one of
the body as being out of order. He
further said that no outsider of the
ones comprising the convention could
be heard, that they were the repre
sentativc body of the people of the
county, and no one outside the con.,
vention bad the right to be heard,
and the chairman, not knowing any
bett»f, so ruled me out of order,
which I submitted to, with the reply,
that I had acted strictly in accord to
parliamentary rule, all of whieh
availed nothing. He held to his in¬
flexible ruling. So I felt to be an
alien banished to the Isle of Patmos,
I was not a sovereign,was not entitled
to the privilege of citizenship, there
fore c there was ne need of my extend
ing any other proposition to that
august body, so I withdrew, wag
ging my own tail, proudar of my
self than of their action. Now, un¬
derstand, all of this happening was
in the Antis convention, up in the
court room of the court house.
The convention of Proa was in ses
sion the same day and hour in the
same bouse in tho grand jury room
below. Said convention appointed a
committee of three to confer with the
Antis with a like proposition to the
one I submitted to them, which vvts
met in like manner, refusing them a
hearing.
