TIE TURK AND HIS WIFE.
Only One Woman in Most OF the Mos.
lem Harems Nowadays.

Century: Although of late years, among
Turks highly placed, it has come to be
considered as far more chic to have only
one wife, yet this laudable increase in the
practice of monogamy does not tend to Il
complete emancipation from certain we'll
established Moslem traditions. The men
ton of ones wife to q foreigner is nova
days made the easier when one may truth
fully speak OF her in the singular number.
a Turk may, after some months of semi
intimacy, talk somewhat freely, indeed, of
mis- domestic life, provided always his
household is .ncueled after the European
plan of life. The social line is drawn at
the point of asking even a lady to call.
Frequent visiting between European and
Turkish wives, when these are in the sin
,gular number, is possible only after a
Somewhat prolonged residence and much
friendly Intercourse.
/. To the casual visitor there is an uneX-
pected embarrassment in finding almost
all the Turks one meets in society married
to one lady only. The singularity of this
singleness is as trying, apparently, to the
Turks, on certain occasions, as it is emf
nently disappointing to the European.

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.
A recent seizure of a lot of Cheap"
baking powders by the authorities Of
a neighboring city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands of
baking powders which many manufac-
turers are Offering throughout the
country. The price of the powders
first attracted attention to them. Sam
pies We're taken and analysed The Of
fetal report of the analysis showed the
stuff to be "alum powders" composed
chiefly of alum, sulphuric acid and pull
verified rock. The powders We're de-
clared dangerous to health and several
thousand pounds were contiscated and
destroyed.
Physicians ave frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called Cheap" baking pow
ders. They are all found, when
analysed, to contain large percentages
of alum II sulphuric acid, to which
are added various sorts of filling mat
ter, sometimes both injurious and
nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar bak-
ing powders are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use. They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making the
sood better INC more healthful.

MANUFACTURERS OF COTTON.
The South Is Slow in Turning Oul
Finer Grades of Goods.

-
Houston Post: The rapid growth of
cotton manufacturing in the south has
become a source of frequent comment
concluding mostly with the remark that
while we are doing much and doing
we'll in this particular we should do
more n do better. In other words,
intelligent observers Of the South's
progress in the turning of the staple
into m~erchantable fabrics are struck
with the fact that, as yet, but few at
temptS have been made to produce
cotton goods of the finer grades by
southern promoters of cotton manufac-
turing plants.
Two-thirds of the south's crop OF cot
ton finds its way abroad, absorbed as
it is by nations that have learned to
convert a pound Of raw material worth
10 cents into a pound of finished goods
worth fifteen times that amount and
lover. France, for instance, makes
l~high-priced ace out of the product Of
Jour cotton field, While we are confin.
ling ourselves to the production OF
cheap, coarse fabrics. Other nations
fhave acquired the knack of transform
lnig it into expensive underwear and
Hosiery for our consumption, whereas
we are tagging behind, apparently
without m bition. to cover the most
profitable ground in the cotton manu-
featuring field.
1t may be objected that the south is
mot as yet prepared to compete in the
manufacture of cotton goods of the
highest grade; that it must feel it's
way to the top Of the adder of produce
ition in this particular. Admitting, for
the sake of argument, that there is
something in this, there is no good
reason for not making a few steps into
the domain Of liner manufacture as a
beginning. No one will seriously con-
tend that the south is not ultimately
destined to work up the bulk of its raw
cotton. Why, then, should there be
further delay in the promotion of in
idustry in its higher branches?

The following is from the State
Of Wednesday,:
Senator Mower has declined the
invitation of the bar of Spartanburg
to hold the extra term Of court Oh
the ground that he is a member Of

constitution forbids that any one
holding office in one department
shall exercise the functions OF an
other. Some years ago the same
question was raised when Lieut..
Gov. Gary and Speaker Jones were
appointed special Judges and al
though there was some argument
on the point raised, it was met by
the declination of the gentlemen to
accept the appointment. Senator
Mower would have made an excel
