12 BAKING POWDERS. Th? Ohio State Food Commission Take Action. ANALYSES OF THE CHIEF BRANDS Their Strength and Value Officially Ascer tained—A Large Number Im pure and I nwholesome. The Ohio State Dairy and Food Commis sioner, General S. 11. If tirst, has made public (Circular No. 6) the results of the Commis sion's investigation of baking powder. This pommission was formed by the Legislature, With instructions to make an examination of the food supply of the State, and to give a re port of such examination to the public. Tho examination of the baking powders was made l>y Professor H. A. Weber, State Chemist, and, relating as it does to an article of daily use in the food of almost every one, is of particular interest. • Tlie rather startling fact is brought out by the report that of the thirty different brandsof |>aking powder analyzed, composing about all those sold in the State, twenty of them are made from alum, a substance declared by the highest medical authorities to lie injurious to health when used in food. 7’he Commissioner classifies tho baking pow ders intn throe general divisions, according to their value: Ist. Cream of Tartar Raking Powders. 2d. Phosphate Baking Powders, cd Alum Baking Powders. The object of baking powders is, when mixed In the flour and subjected to moisture, to gen erate a leavening gas in the dough, which will tnfso the bread ami cause it to be porous and light. The Commissioner explains that the V*st baking powder is that which, the ingre- ‘ flients being healtliful, gfv< s off the largest Amount of leavening gas ami leaves the small- IMd amount of residuum in the bread. A small hmount of carbonate of ammonia, which is Considered healthful, is used in some of the cream of tartar powd« . s to give them a bight r Btrtihgth. The < ommission sass that pure tilum is undoubtedly a hurtful-alt, and that Rid resultnht salts from its < onibinatum with Bodn as formed in the bread, <an scarcely be less hurtful. Tho report ranks the powders find show." the amount in each of im i t it sult f*nts, which in using it would appear as rcsi- Uuuiu m the bread, as follows; (BRAM OF TARTAR FOWDIJIS.

This in tho phosphate powders is largely of lime; in the alum powders it. is rhivdy alum. It will be gratifying to tho pub lic to observe that the powder in most gem ral use, th'< Royal, is also the purest. In compar ing the find two powders on the list, for in stance -the Royal ami Dr. Price’s the inert matte rin Price’s is seen to be about live in •even more than in the former, a difiermco of 21 3-7 per cent, the Royal being purer than Price’s by a corresponding figure. The carbonic or leavening gad produced by the powders indicates tlndr strength , and their true value may be ascertained by considering the amount of this gas in connection with their inert matter or residuum as shown above. The higher the percentage of gas and the lower the iHUcentage <>f residuum the better the baking Lowder. These percentages, as found in some of the most familiar powders, are given as fol lows : Per Cent nf For Cent of Name. Leavening Gn& Residuum.

To illustrate with tho per centage-- ii the two powders before com pared the Royal containing 11.8 parts of leav ening gas to 19.5 in Price’s, its excess of strength is 1.3 in 10.5, or 12.1 percent. Rex al is therefore 12.10 per cent stronger, as well as 71 per c ent purer than Price’s, etc. The rela tive strength ami purity of all the powders can be computed in like manner.

Happenings of a Week in the Sunny Southland. COLUMBIAS’S AGRICULTURAL FAIR. GEORGIA. Mr. A. A. Wenks, of Cobb, made this year over one hundred bushels of Spanish goobers on an aero of land. A firm in Athens wrote to a cotton buyer of Greensltoro this week to purchase bint 20,000 pounds of good bermuda hay. This hay grows more popular every year. From the Albany, (in., News. It is now’ about time to commence fattening turkeys lor thanksgiving. The turkey crop is largo this year, and those who have the uieest, (duinpestonos, will realize the bc.st figures. It is said that iu England, in former days, tamo ' turkeys were fed w ith walnuts to gin> them the ta.te of wild turkey. In Italy turl.- v - .co always fattened on walnuts. Thirty dav s be fore a turkey is to be killed one walnut is stuffed d<<wn his throat.

He pulled * two out of his patch this summer that kicked tho beam at 113 pounds—one weighing 59 pounds and the other 54. He also has some as i line upland corn as can be seen in this section. Mr. ('. Pionsky made a shipment of a car load of hides from Albany last week. Mr. John Noles, living on the lino of Lau ren; and I lodge counties, lost his eldest sou, a boy about 12 y> its old, last week, through an other gin ae-' ident. The boy was riding on the lever arm, driving the mules attached to the gin, sin ing wit li his back to the animals, when ho was caught by tho cog-wheel and terribly crushed before tho mules could be stopped. To release the crushed ami bleeding form of i the siilTerer from the wheel, it was necessary to drive the mules backward, and while doing this, the boy expired. Willis Mitcbell, a son of Ike Mitchell, the colored fisherman at. Fountain's mill, Pulaski county, met an untimely death on Wednesday of lust week in the following manner: He was niUng baskets for bis mother, who was feeciin»tho gin, and in his idle moments had grabbled a round holo in tho cotton from tho top ot tho pile to the floor. While playing around the holt* ho fell into it headforemost itinl was smothered to death before being dis covered. The boy was about eighteen years old. A sad ami probably fatal accident occurred last Friday evening at Bateman's Mill, Tay lor county, in which ii is feared that a little 14 year old dauelitor of Mr. I!. 11 Cleavidand will lose her life. 1 taring the rain on Friday several children had gone into the mill house for shelter, and while engaged at play- one of them became entangled In tho shafting, of tho mill. An older sister seeing the dangerous condition of her younger sister ran to her re lief. ;i Icing unable to extricate her sister and her clothing being very wet, she was also caught by tho whirl of the shafting, and carried round ami round in sueli a manner as tostrikeseveral obstacles that w, r. near by. Her right thigh was broken and her bead and shoulders fear fully cut and bruised. The Jackson Argus has a suggestion to make, which Is worth acting upon.

He was kind to bis men, and could often be seen at the dead hours of the night going around to the different tents and attending to the wants of his men. The hunting season has fairly commenced in the section around Albany. Deer hunt ing parties are frequent and the hunters generally return with one or more antlered denizens of the forest. A partv of young gentlemen, among them Messrs. AV. IL Bennett, T. M. Nelson and AV. S. Tarver, are spending a day or two at the beautiful planta tion homo of tho latter, in Baker county, gun ning for duck and quail. Fox hunting in a stylo "quite English you know,” is becoming all the rage with a number of young gentle men ami many of the middle aged men as well. A number of w ell mounted hunters have recently repeatedly give most lusty chase after a sly old red fox which for several years lias continued to elude the utmost vigor of hound and man. This animal ranges in tho neighbor hood of Mr. W. I’. Randall’s lovely home, at Palmyra, about five miles north of Albany. Among those who have joined Mr. Randall in hunting for Hie above mentioned and more suc cessfully other members of tho tribo, are Messrs. Zeiba Bennith, 8. B. Lewis. R. A. Hall, N. J. Cruger and Colonel J. L. Boyt. Tho latter is exceedingly fond of the sport and is most successful. He frequently leads tho chase upon one of bis plantations in this county, and is generally successful in bringing home tho brush. Among the younger men from town accidents occasionally happen, and ouo or more of their number nurse an injured limb caused by being thrown or otherwise hurt in the mad pursuit of Hying reynard. Tho privilege was granted your correspond ent Tuesday to visit Hon. Jeff Davis at the home of Mr. J. M. Johnson.

He is looking bright and cheerful, and although sensational reports were sent out to certain northern papers last night that ho wits dead, be is one of the liveliest men of his ago iu Georgia, and it is the devout wish of tho people of Georgia that he may live for many years yet. The Louisville Stock fair was held at the Louisville park on Tuesday. A fine display’ of horses, colts, cows, calves, hogs, pigs, etc. Some of the finest colts that could be found in tho county were on exhibition. J. T.

In the smash up some of the animal . t.;i's on the flat cars were broken, and a tiger, . two lions, a leopard, jaguar, an ibex and a vul ; jure , "caped. The w ildest kind of commotion prevailed. Dc]K't officials and policemen ran frantically i about shouting warnings, mid there was a i general mid quick stampede from the yards to ; the streets beyond. Circus and depot men then made a search for the animals. The leopard was found crouched under a freight car and mi attempt was made to lasso him, but it failed, and the. animal rushed from cover, bit a man severely on the leg on his way out; bounded into the ticket office mid then jumped through a transom into tho superintendent’s office. He was besoiged by circus mon, and after several attempts to capture him and two or three shots being fired at him, he was covered with a tarpaulin mid secured. Ono by one tho other animals were found and, after more or less trouble, wore captured and re turned to their cages, bnt it was not until nearly dark that tho work was over and the excitement was allayed. SOUTH CAROLINA. Tho nineteenth nnnual fair of Agricultural & Mechanical society of South Carolina will be held in Columbia on the Bth, 9th,loth and 11th instants. Darlington county’ is out of debt and has §I,OOO in her treasury. Colonel IL AV. Addison has called a meeting of the disabled confederate soldiers of Edge field county, at tho courthouse, on Novem ber 7th. Among the attractions of the week will be a meeting of tho old settlers of tho state—a dele gation of throe from each county—who have made fanning their principal business for forty years. Colonel D. P. Duncan, the president of the fair association, who inaugurated this novel feature, suggests that tho fact may be developed in this gather ing that all tho agricultural glitter of the so called by-gone days was not all pure gold, and that the farmers of tho curly days of this cen tury had troubles, disappointments and fail ures that those of the present day have never dreamed of, and whioli will make them think, after all, that their “lives are cast in pleasant Colonel Duncan, in his call forth meeting, says: “There will be much food for valuable thought suggested by the experience of the members of such a meeting. Take a delegate who has scored three-quarters of the present century and his life will have contained a large majority of the great inventions and improve ments, not only in agriculture, but in all the arts and sciences of our age. As an illustra tion, when such a delegate was born Fulton’s first steamboat was only five years old, and a very undeveloped affair at that. It took at that time three months, and sometimes six, to cross the Atlantic, and now’ a week is being considered a tiresome journey. AVlien this delegate was 12 years old the ’ first iron plow was made, and the farmers of that their heads and said: ‘lt won’t do, too heavy:’ ‘regular horse killers.’ Now an old time wood en plow stock would boa genuine curiosity. AVhat an interesting exhibit a full line of agri cultural tools and machinery used three-quar ters of a century ago would make by the side of a well equipped farm of today.” A special from Pickens reportsan act of hero ism on the part of a well-known lady of that county. A few nights since a negro family, living on the plantation of George W. Cox, locked their sick child in their cabin and went off to a revival meeting, about two miles dis tant. During their absence the cabin caught on tire, and the flames were discovered by Mrs. Sallie Cox, whose husband was absent from home. Mrs. Cox knew that thesick child was locked up; so, without summoning any assistance, she procured an ax, broke open tlie door, rushed into the burning cabin, picked up the helpless and almost suffocated child and ran out with it; but as she reached the threshold a part of the burning wall fell upon her and knocked her down. She hold close to the child, however, and shielded it from the fire by wrapping a part of her dress around it. Iler husband fortunately arrived upon tho scene and rescued her from the flames. The brave woman saved tho child, but incurred such se vere burns that she is not expected to live. Another meeting of tho “Fanners’ Associa tion of South Carolina,” the political move ment engineered bv that chief of malcontents, "Farmer” Ben Tillman, of Edgefield, has been called to meet in Columbia on Thursday, December Ist. The following manifesto to the farmers of the state, promulgated by Mr. Tillman, fully explains tho object of the movement: The agitation known as tho "Farmers Move ment" crystalizod last November into a permanent organization under the name of the “Farmers Asso ciation of South Carolina.” The objects for which »r then organized were clearly .-e: forth and are as follows: The encouragement,’ protection and ad v;tr.cement of our agricultural intere; s and theye curing of such reforms an I the passage and repeal o s.ich laws as will compass these ends and enable us ns tillers of the s .il to secure ul least a fair share of the profits of our labor. "We seek to elevate and educate the farmers of the state by any and every means possible, and to bring about such changes in our system of farming ns will preserve the fertility of the soil and increase tlie profits llicreftoiu. "While we deprecate political agitation, wo will not h rsitiito to assert our rights as eitiz-. it" and tax payer.; and feeling that wc have just reuse of com p alnt. " e w ill continue to demand a fair and proper recognition of our rights and needs, aud will use our ballots to secure it. "Di.'dominant element in the state has thus far batlled our iff'>rts in this direction and ignored our reasonable complaints. It rests with you fanners of South Carolina to showwlictheryou will remain the toolsand slaves of an oligarchy, and deport your selves us servants v hohave r o rights except toobey, or whether you will prove to your arrogant law makers that you are the masters and not the ser vants of those w bo hold power only by your votes. "You have tho power, you have the brains, you have now the nucleus of an organization which will enable you to act in concert throughout the state, and nU’thai Is ncoossary is persistent and aggressive action. , ~ “Let the nest meeting of the Farmers association bo composed ot such material and of such numbers r.s will show our T'o-ses' that wc mean to have re form: or If we fall to secure it. will allow our farmers '■ t!..t «c ,an mxt veur retire ihcsc to invute He who ; Stat'd in the way.

Hope, J. J. ' Ilagins and J. B. Johnson, proprietors of the I four drugstores of Rock Hill, a dry town,have ; been indicted bv the grand jury ot York county for selling whisky without prescription. They, with their clerks, were all arrested Tuesday 1 morning between midnight and daylight, ana taken to Yorkv iile, where the circuit court is ' in session.

Va.. who was employed for that : purpose by tlie mayor of tlie town, mid a com mittee of the Good' Templars. Capt. B. K. 'Tillman, tiie leader of the politi cal movement in this stale, known as "'1 bo i Farmers’ Movement,” delivered an address to his constituents in Barnwell ot. Monday, winch is more than likely to lead to bloodshed Till mmi has been firing hot shot into the present state administration for more than two years, claiming that the farmers of the state are allowed no voice in public affairs; that they are the slaves of an oligarchy, etc. He has a largo following, composed principally' of the mote ignorant class of whites. In his Harwell speech he charged Colonel A. P. Butler, the commission er of agriculture, with collecting large amounts of public moneys, and not accounting for the disposition thereof, and with general extrava gance, mismanagement and incompetency. Butler is a native of Edgefield, a man of fiery temper and undoubted courage.

At a meeting of the AV. C. T. U. at Santa Rosa recently a local orator named Gillespie was called upon to make a few remarks. Hespokeupon the necessity for wives, mothers, sisters and other sorts and conditions of females setting a good ex ample and adopting a set rulj. “Ladies,” said he, “I have noticed a thousand times that woman’s breaches—” “Order, sir; come toorder,” piped the chairwoman shrilly. “Madam, lam in order. 1 was saying that I have noticed a thousand times that woman's breaches—” “Sir, you are no gentleman'?” screamed the secre tary indignantly. “Leave the room, sir!
