HOUSEKEEPERS FIND

f Some baking powders are so imperfectly
{jjj made from cheap and inferior materials that
§ they spoil or lose their strength. During the
| last year thousands of cases of a new brand,
i sold or commissioned, upon a “ guarantee,”

i or spoiled, and useless.
!§ Such powders, if used in baking, are a vexation.
They do not make nice bread, biscuit or cake, but

D pure, unwholesome food.

• Producer—The Present Fi
nancial Situation.
It affords the writer much pleasure
to esli attention to the flret substan-
ttal Indication of the break In the sit
uation, as It comes from Pittsburg and
Rhode Island. The former tells us the
outlook In the Iron and stell Industries
is brighter than at any time since the
closing of the mills for annual repairs
and the shortage of currency. One firm
resumes operations and gives 500 ex
tra men employment. The Braddock
wire works start up after two months of
idlesness, giving employment to 700
men. On Monday the Black Diamond
steel works will start up In all depart'
ments. These works were running
about halt time, but shut down entirely
a ebort time elnce. but will resume
with a full quota of 4.000 men. Alto
gether. the mills give employment to
10.000 men.
The cotton mill! owned and operated
by the Messrs. Knight and located nt
Rhode Island and aMsMchusetts, start
ed up on the morning of the 14th.
This firm Is one of the largeet In the
country engaged in the manufacture
of cotton goods. It owns twenty mills
and operates nearly 45,000 spindles and
upward of 11.000 looms; employs nearly
5.000 operatives, and has a weekly pay
roll of about 100.000.
The situation on the other tide ts <so
different from the situation here that
the Influences at work ten<V»to Increase
the cost of cotton In Liverpool and
decresue it In America. Up to the pres
ent time there has been little demand
from the South for currency to move
the cotton crop: but now the New Turk
hankers are feeling the demand from
Intertor shippers, and In some Instances
are executing orders to buy currency
at a premium In order to affect a
of cotton.
This currency is shipped to the point
at which the cotton has been received
from the planter, and the cost to the
planter of tMe shipment of currency is
about 11 per bale. In other wotds. the
exporter buys the cotton and pays a
premium in New ifork of 2 per cent,
for the currency. This premium of 2
per cent, represents an additional cost
to hhn tttie export" ) of about 11 per
hale for the cotton. Of course the Man
chester spinner dors not pay any more
for cotton in America than he can buy
It at tn Liverpool, and therefore the cot-
ten muet pay the cost of sending the
currency from London to New York
ond from New York to the South. It it
evident rhea that the exporter pays
the merchant and the merchant pays
the plant r about «1 per hale, or the
c at ot obtaining the currency less than
be otherwise would.
It had been hoped by the most
servattve merchants that the stringency
in flnanciai circles would be remedied
by action of congress in repealing the
Sherman law before the cotton crop
began to move and that the cotton
planter would not suffer from the de
rangement of the currency and ttr: dis
turbance of confidence, as has the West
ern wheat market, but the probubilltt.s
of at leaat a month's discussion tn con
gress over the question and the doubt
of .Its final passage by the senate !s now
being few tn the South.
In this connection it is certainly grab
lfylng to know that Macon is said to
he better off than any city in the atate.
So far our banka have said nothing of

Bk.
H The
w r - *
This reminds the writer of an
inquiry from an unknown reader by
mail, asking the question, "What is
to prevent middling cotton from going
to 5 cents per pound In jour market?"
In reply wo can only say cotton at
that price is susceptible of being con
verted into many articles of commerce,
such a* paper, rope, carpet, etc., that
it would probably cause a demand to
which it would quickly respond, the
only trouble being In the fact that
when a firm should after much trouble
and expense arrange to work thegt->nt
American staple at that price find t iat
it could not he bought, nr at least only
Inferior grades, and partly because the
speculator, though so much abused,
would take a hand, and partly because
the Alliance and the banks would real
ize he I* a necessary part of the trade
as now conducted. In fact, but for
a wholesome fear'of that class of men
the writer venly believes cotton would
be much lower today. At the moment
all other factor* are overshadowed by
the feeling of distrust which pervades
all section* and the .only chance :hat
the South will not suffer Is that the
congress of the United States will
agree on some bill which will satisfy
the capitalists oi inn country aud bring
business to something like a normal
condition. Unless such action Is taken
the receipts will probably he light and
prices low, through the sheer Inability
to secure the necessary money to move
the crop.
Undoubtedly the South has not yet
felt the ptnle at severely as the manu
facturing centres of the North or the
farming communities of the West,
where it is almost impossible to mar
ket the incoming wheat because of the
demonetization of credit, latter on the
cotton crop will feci the weight of this,
and It Is difficult to see how we can
fail to escape the disastrous effect of
the loss of confidence throughout the
country. The Southern hanks are said
to be better supplied with rash than
the banka In any other section of the
country, but when this supply of cash
la paid out the situation will be simi
lar to that in the West, v here it is now
reported to be Impossible to move the
wheat on the security afforded hy hill
of lading attached to draft. On the
other hand, the foreign demand for
cotton is likely to be better than for
several years, as trude In Europe and
the distant East is better than for sev
eral years, and under ordinary clrcum-
atnaces we would hare an active de
mand for cotton at good prices.
The Financial situation.
Brunswick, Aug. 20.—(Special.)—Sur
geon Branham died today at 5 o'clock,
lingering twenty-six hours in an un
conscious state.
As soon as the death was bulletined
Urge crowds of sympathizing friends
gathered on the street comers and dis
cussed the unfortunate man's fate.
Surgeon Hutton ordered the finest
steel rolled, silver mounted casket in
the city sent to the house. It was left
near the gate and Surgeon Carter and
assistants carried it into Uie house. The
body was wrapped In sheets soaked in
bichloride of mercury, and around the
lifeless form a large national flag was
rolled.
On leaving Washington Surgeon Hut
ton had a premonition that Branham
would die, and, prompted by this, he
placed the flag in his trunk.
The casket and remains were brought
to the quarantine limits and there Sur
geons Hutton and Guitleras. Undertaker
Moors and his son Will placed "Tt In
the hearse. It was quickly transported
to the grave and in tne new cemetery
and In the .presence of tha Telegraph
correspondent, the surgeons and under
taker and minister, lowered to Its last
resting place by the light of the cloud-
dimmed moon.
A qal«t Funeral.
Rev. Edward F. Cook of McEndree
Methodist church read the burial ser
vices, the grave was covered and the
party returned to town.
Dr. Branham’s brother did not reach
here and he died without hearing in
his unconscious state the loving mes

Baking Powders
Before Congress.
The Pure Food bill before Congress would be a righteous
measure for the people, and should become a law. The public
want pure food, and in order to protect themselves must know
what is adulterated. All adulterated preparations should be so
branded, including Baking Powders containing Ammonia or
Alum. Then if people want to dose themselves with ‘ ‘Absolutely
Pure” Ammonia or Alum, they will do it knowingly. The
public have been looking up the composition of Ammonia and
Alum and they don't like the idea of eating either in their hot
biscuit.

The pres* dispatches tell us that
51,560,000 of English gold was started
to this country on Saturday and that
the finance committee In the United
States senate have reported in favor
of an unconditional repeal of the Sher
man bill and that they favor bimetal
lism.
The arrival of gold since the present
movement has begun amounts to 125,-
000,000, and there Is 55,000,00 under way.
Thla, with the 51.000,000 currency being
duly turned out at Washington for the
national banka, abould relieve the situ*
atton. In addition, the New York banka
have Issued 5J6.766.0u0 In clearing house
certificates, and Fall River and Bir
mingham have followed suit, the latter
Issuing them In as small amounts as
25 cents each, and we are told that tt
has proven a perfect suet,ns and been
of untold benefit to the city, and it is
believed that the relief thus given
has averted a crash tn business circles.
In Northern and Western cities gold,
silver snd currency have been selling
at a premium of from 3 12 to 4 per
cent., payable In certtbd checks on va
rious city banks. This premium, we
think, aids In the importation of gold
and helps to clear up the congested
condition ot affairs. In 1873 money was
brought in a more or less similar way
for several months, and the New York
bank slssued that year more clearing
house certificates in proportion to de
posits than now on 15-4 per cent, against
9-4 per cent, at this date.
The premium that has been paid for
currency Is no doubt on of the most
serious features in the financial situa
tion, but which In the natural outcome
ot the lack of confidence, which was
first created when the gold reserve of
the treasury fell below tbe 5100,000,000
limit. As long as the business of the
country remains properous, and capi
tal Is In good supply, so long Trill the
funds at the disposal of the banks,

Surgeons Hutton and Carter's sorrow
ts great, but they did all human* could
to bring to life their stricken comrade.
Surgeon Carter's faithful and aelf-sacri-
fletng care -Is worthy of remembrance.
By The bedside of Dr. Branham he
watched for days and nights without a
thought of his own peril, and, with
faithful nurses, tried to ease the suf
fering man. To Blackboard quarantine
they will now go to pass the time'Of
Incubation that will tell whether they
will be the victims of their faithfulness.
Tbe case was the hardest fought in
the hlstofy of the disease and Surgeon
Carter's care for the dead and Hutton's
for the living to prevent the fever has
earned the gratitude of the people of
Brunswick, who all regret the fatal
ending.
May Return Home
There will be no more cases and Sur
geons Guiteras, Hutton and Horsey say
positively it will not spread and Bruns
wick refugees can return to thrir homes
without fear of danger. Surgeon Guit
eras says It is the first time In the his
tory the world over that the local au
thorities took precautions to keep from
spreading before a patient died, and
Brunswick's'authorities deserve unstint
ed praise from the people of the South
for their noble work.
All the, carpets and bedding in the
Branham house will be burned and
the house washed from cellar to roof
with bichloride of mercury and the
ground disinfected with carbolic acid.
Illetury of t!io lu*«.
Surgeon Branham was ordered by the
government three weeks ago to take
charge of the locals quarantine station
On arriving here he complained of mi
luria, but went about his duties. Last
Wednesday afternoon he witnessed
ball game here, and the hot sun drove
fever to his brain. Thursday morning
Health Officer Dunwody brought him
to Brunswick from quarantine and he
was carried to the home of City Physi
cian Branham, his cousin, and Satur
day morning his case was pronounced
yellow fever. The subsequent action*
of the local authorities and the aid
rendered by the government have been
dally told by the Telegraph corres
pondent.
The last act is nearly ended and the
curtain will soon be towered, shutting
from sight the anxiety and suspense
of Brunswick’s one yellow fever case,
the first In seventeen years, the last,
the people pray, that will ever visit
this brave cl tv by the sea.

health authorities yesterday about noon
that there was yellow fever at Tampa,
