SAW FOR HIMSELF.
Mr.. DOWdle Visits Mexico and
Sees the Effects of Cheap
Money.

Meridian News.
Through the courtesy OF Col. Il
NJ. Street, The News has been per-
mitted to give to it's readers the
following letter from Mr.. ]. r.
Dowdle, of this place, who is now
soiourning in Mexico, country
that afford. a splendid illustration
of the effects of the free coinage of
silver. This letter is commended
TO those who, like Mr.. Dowdle be
fore lis trip into Mexico, are not
July satisfied about this great
question, and who honestly wish
to be led into the ways of truth.
The laboring people, especially,
Will find here food eor reflection,
and those whose int. roots yon,
whose daily bread for themselves
and wives and little ones--are so
greatly involved, will hardly be
disposed to pin their faith to the
p1eachments of the free silver ad-
vocates when the facts are so en-.
tirely at variance with the theories
advanced by them. Read Mr..
Dowdle's letter:

Col H NJ Street. Meridian, Miss;
DEAR SIR; You will doubtless
remember that you requested me
to join sound money league,
which | decided not to do, lending
further investigation. As c'ou will
observe from the leading of this
letter, | am now in the Republic of
Mexico, where free coinage Of sill.
ier raigns supreme, and have an
object lesson which ! shal! not 70.
gek Common day-labt rtys' wages
are are very low, ranging from 81
to Is cents d dry in Mexican mon
ey, and it takes bhe dollor and
eighty-fve cents of this money TO
sc: one dollar of ours. Iyishing,o
purchase negligee sllir, Mas
shown one worth about one dollar
in Meridian. The price here was
five dollars.
The people are anxious for the
United States to adopt free coinage
at 10 to J, hoping it will benefit
Mexico, but intelligent people here
from the States admit it. will not
benefit Ia to do so. Before coming
here | heard it said that Mexico
was the most prosperous country
in America; ] do not find 1t so. I
now authorize you to sign my name
to the sound money roll.

Traps for Boil Worm Moths.


P. ]. King, Mound Landing, Miss,
writes as follows:
"As there is some uneasiness Of the
boil worm making its appearance again
this season, write to know il you have
ever experimental with lamps to de.
stroy the moths, and il 80 what kind Of
lamp is best adapted for this work"
REpLY.-All the experiments which
we have made in the direction indicated
have shown that it is perfectly useless
to put out lights in the cotton fields
either for the boil worm moths or the
cotton leaf worm moths. In fact the
lights in the fields do much more harm
than GOOD. TO be sure a great many in
sects are attracted to the lights and
killed by means of the usual kerosene
pan, yet among the lot thus killed there
are but few boil worm moths, and these
few are almost always females which
have finished laying their eggs. Many
of the insects killed by the lights are
insects which prey upon the boil worms,
or are parasites OF them, so that the
lights kill upon the whole more bene-
fetal species than injurious ones.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

We are glad to announce thatwe have
made an arrangement by which we shall
be able to give our readers frequent
notes in regard to the results of expert
ments, trials of different fertilizers,
methods of cultivating and handling
crops, the feeding and management OF
cattle, the prevention of injurious in
sects and fungi, the introduction OF new
crops, and other work done at the State
Experiment Station.
Probably most OF our readers are
aware that congress has established
such an experiment station in each
State, and that the one for Mississippi
is located at the Agricultural College,
near Starkville. The work done at the
stations is we'll outlined in the act of
congress stablishing them, which says
THAT it shall be the object and duty OF
said experiment stations to conduct
original researches or verify expert
ments on the physiology OF plants and
animals: the diseases to which they are
seyerally subject, with the remedies for
the same; the chemical composition OF
useful plants at their different stages OF
growth; the comparative advantages OF
rotative cropping as pursued under
varying series of crops the capacity OF
new plants or trees for acclimation; the
analysis of soils and water; the chem
ical composition Of manures, natural or
artificial, with experiments designed to
test their comparative effects on crops
OF different kinds; the adaptation and
value of grasses and forage plants; the
composition and digestibilty OF the
different kinds OF food for domestic ami
mails: the scientific and economic ques-
tions involved in the production OF but
ter and cheese: and such other re-
searches or experiments bearing directly
on the agricultural industry of the
United States as may in each case be
deemed advisable, having due regard to
the varying conditions and needs Of the
respective States or Territories.
of the station covers very broad field,
but from its first organization it has
been the object of the Mississippi Sta
tion to give It's principal attention to
those lines of work which are of the
greatest immediate interest 20 the aver
age farmer, and to settlement of those
questions OF practice which will add
most TO the yield, and to decrease the
cost of the crops most generally grown.
The station publishes frequent reports
and bulletins, which are sent, free OF
charge, TO all farmers in Mississippi
who request them, and there is no rea-
son why they should not be in the hands
Of every farmer in the State. Such Of
our readers as do not already receive
them should secure them at once.
The officers of the station are not
mere book farmers" but are men who
have worked in the field all their lives,
and who are we'll qualified for their
work. They are always glad to answer
letters and inquiries, and to give advice
and assistance to the farmers Of the
State in every way possible. Letters
and requests for bulletins should be ad-
dressed to Director OF Experiment Sta

To Out-of-Town Patients:

Since the establishment 1.-the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in BiImingham-as the files of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced as to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled "old reliable specialists" to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious pretensftns and heroic self-praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an vestigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are a member of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K. of F., or belong to any order or organization, then write to some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us plain state- ment of your case and inclose stamp for reply. We will give you then our opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than a stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
 We will send in plain sealed envel- ope our "Book for Men" and Question List for Pc stamp; Question List for Ladies for % stamp.
 All correspondence will be consid- cred confidential and be kept sacredly inviolate.
 AS pointer, please read this from recent issue of the Age Herald:
 IA gentleman from another town came to Birmingham one day last week to place himself in the hands of a specialist. As wise man would do under the circumstances, he made in- quiries among the citizens of Birming- ham. He asked score of men, and nearly every one referred him to Dr. O. T. Dexter, head of the Southern Medical Dispensary
 "Do you take the hint?"
