The condition o( the cotton crop has
probably improved to some extent
during the last week or ten days. This
is principally dne to the season of fair
weather following the long siege
of heavy rain's which.prevailed from
the first of Jane to about the first of
August, practically without interrup
tion. The ootton plant, aB a natural re
sult, developed a rank growth of stalk
and leaf, while a Inxnrient growth of
grass took possession of many fields.
The return of fair weather has bright
ened the prospect wonderfully, though
there willbo nothing like a full crop.
The aoreage over that of last season was
considrably increased, bnt the injury to
the orop has perhaps fully counterbal
anced tblB difference. .
The outlook is that the total number
of bales marketed will be very little in
exoess of the crop of last season, tliongh
Albany’s share will be considerably
larger. '

Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of
Penn.: “All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bread, and
the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in the process of digestion. I re
gard the use of alum as highly injurious.”
Dr. Alonzo Clark: “ A substance (alum)
which can derange the stomach should not bo
tolerated in baking powder.”
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State •
Chemist: “I.believe it (alum) to be decidedly
injurious when used as a constituent of food
articles.”
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: “I
regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts)
introduction into baking powders as most dan
gerous to health.”

In view of such testimony as this,
every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.

have the building finished.
The cell work of the new js.il is how
practically completed. Only a little
more remains to be done on this part of
the work. The padding has not yet
been put- iu the lnuatio’s cell, and there
are a few nuts to tighten And other little,
finishing touches to be put on the oells.
The painters have gone to work on the
cells and most of them have received
their first coat of paint. At mbst, it
will be only a matter of r few. days be-
frre this part of the work will be com
pleted. •
The other part of the building is ’ not j
so near completion, it seems, aud the
contractor will have to do good work if
he turns over the jail to the county on
September the first. The exterior work
of the building is about- complete, but
the work on the interior has only been
well begun. With the work still un
finished on the building, and the paint
ing that will be neoessary after it is
finished, tho oontraotor will have his
hands full between now and the time
the jail is contracted to be finished.
When the jail is completed, however,
it will be a credit to Dougherty county,
as there will be none more modern in
the state. The wonder arises to an ob
server, as he walks among tho steel
cages and sees all the conveniences of a
modern jail, how the county has bq long
been able to make the old barn of a
building that is called a jail answer the
purposes of one.
