PROSPERITY OF FARMERS IN THE
SOUTH.

Five pages of the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record, this week,
is filled with special letters from
Governors and agricultural CON-
missioners Of the Southern States,
upon the financial condition Of
the farming interest Of the South
and the general progress Of that
section. In every case the farm
ers are said to be more prosperous
than for many years, and proof OF
this is given in the great decrease
in the number and amount Of
mortgages and liens. Farmers
are less indebted than at time any
since the war, and are buying
more literally Of improved labor
saving agricultural implements.
In Alabama Governor Seay and
Mr.. X. 7. Kolb, Commissioner Of
Agriculture, unite in reporting
decrease in Indebtedness on the
part of farmers, and a steady i'm
proyement in their condition all
over the State will show very
marked improvements in build
ings. fences, etc. In Arkansas,
Florida and the Carolinas the
same report of increasing pros
perity Is made.
Hon. S. A. Jones, writing Of
Mississippi, says: "There has
never been a time since the war
when Fl rners were as nearly out
of debt as at present. There Is
not to-day one farm mOrtgaged
where there were twenty ten
years ago, and in fact it may be
confidently asserted that the small
farmers are in many parts Of the
State almost entirely free from
debt. and left them in splendid
condition to enter upon the new
year"
The growth of the South in
other lines Is shown by an increase
from 1880 to 1887 of S97T.0OO.000
in the assessed value Of property,
notwithstanding the fact that an
immense amount Of property.

etc, is exempt from taxes, and

there was an increase Of 1885

rest of the country was SO pei

agricultural products in 1887 was

CONGRESSMAN McCREARYS STANDING:

At present there is not a Represen-
tative in Congress whose work will
over balance that Of Ex-Governor and
Congressman McCIeary OF Kentucky.
However, the average work of the
Con gresham this year has greatly
deer eased over last. Mr.. McCreary
has been on the floor Of the House OH
several occasions, and is fast proving
what a worker he is. His bill that
has recently passed the House relating
to:
"a Conference at Washington be-
tween the Nations of North, Central,
and South America to Encourage Re
ciprocaI Relation and promote Arbi-
tration,"
Is meeting with popular favor, and
passing the House unanimously shows
how it stood there. This is not his
only work of Importance. Solid work
goes further in making up mans
reputatin than aristocratic airs.-Mays-
vile Democrat.

this involved a most serious and dan

made across the throat almost from
ear TO ear and then another was made
at right angles to this, extending from
the chin downward and through the
aperture thus made his tongue was

THE DANGER BEFORE Us.

We have already alluded to the i'm
portauce of housekeepers paying more
attention TO the kind Of baking pow
der used in leavening their bread.
This is a matter to which we can not
draw attention too often, because it is
something which involves the most
serious consequences to tile general
BODY of mankind. Temperance apOs-
lies tells us-and there is ample fOun-
dation for the statement-that there is
disease. both moral and physical, in
the intoxicating cup and in the same
way there is disease, slow perhaps,
but certain, in the lime and alum
leavening agents employed in many
of the homes on this continent.
No punishment is too severe for
those manufacturers who place these
poisonous alum and lime baking
powders before the public with the
assurance that they are pure and
wholesome articles. In the belief o!
the truth of such statements such bak-
ing powders are largely used in the
preparation of food, and in this way
the poisonous ingredients are taken
| into the system without suspicion Of
their presence. BY and by cOmss
| spells of headache, distress in the stOm-
ach, loss of appetite, fiuttering of the
heart the child is sliced with an
apparently causeless cough. The coat
/ ing of the stomach is destroyed, per-
1 haps one of the vital organs is render
/ ed almost useless; the Kidneys are
attacked with Brighps disease. The
health of the child is irreparabIy brOk-
en- down the adult becomes a chronic
invalid. These are the doings Of the
modern cheap baking powders that are
composed OF alum and lime, or that
contain sulphuric or phosphate acids.
In view of these facts surely all
housewives should exercise the care
that is, we know, now exercised by
brand of baking powder. She who
does not do so, whether the neglect is
the result of recklessness or ignorance,
can not free herself from the TespOn-
sibility for the health, perhaps life
thereby endangered. No housewife
need be ignorant of the quality and
composition of the article which she
uses to leaven her bread, biscuit anC
cake. the official reports Of the gov
eminent chemists, who are certainly
unprejudiced, have been published anC
show very clearly the quality anC
strength Of all the baking powders il

ingredient l. is further stated by tn
D most eminent authorities on foo

more wholesome than when raised b.
o any Otler method. It's use is there
r fore to be commended. 1t is to b
regretted that no other baking powder
when there are so many in the marke
some of which will find their way int
use, is free from all of these substances

THE SANE OLD TALK.

altogether.
The remark Of another promi-
nent citizen of Richmond is well

could carry in a wheeIbarrOW all
the freight Richmond would ever
have to haul at one time. The
