THE COLORADO POTATO BEETLE.


with the increase Of Irish potato
growing in the South, that wcll-kn0wn
and ever present pest Of the North,
the Potato Beetle, is gradually max.
ing It's home here. For several years
this insect has been present in the
northern portion Of Mississippi, but
not until this season has it attracted
general attention in nearly all parts
Of the State.
REMEDIEs.-Paris green is a sure
shot for this pest. 1t can be applied to
the plants in almost any manner the
most convenient, either In il liquid or
dry form, us there is little danger of
doing damage to the plants with the
Paris green. In Il liquid form it can
be applied as a spray by means of a
knapsack spray pump or by means of
Il common watering can. A table.
spoonful Of the green to a bucket of
water Is the correct proportion. When
applied in Il dry form the green can be
placed in a -four sack and the sack
shaken over the plants. Lcggett's
Champion Powder Gun Is the best
machine for the application OF the
green in a dry form. Most OF the
farmers OF the North, however, sim
ply make the green into a thick paste
with fresh lime water and apply it to
plants with an old broom having the
handle about a foot long.

\ Washington correspondent Of the

viewed Hon. Walter NJ. Denny, the
able member Of Congress from this
the sixth district. in reference TO
affairs in the district. and especially
with regard TO the currency issue, and
writes to his paper as follows concern
ing the talk:
Representative Denny. in answer h.
inquiries. said that lac had thus far
not heard from any members OF the
committee, nor had he in turn commu-
nicatcd with them on the subject Of
hIs successor. The matter had been
left entirely with tile committee. un-
trammeled by anything that he might
say or Go. Representative Denny is
confident that tie people Of his dis
trict are with him. apart from the
money question On which there was
an honest difference OF opinion. On
this issue. which a indeed an im-
p%urtant one. Representative Denny
frankly admitted that the division Of
sentiment in the ranks Of the Demo
cracy seriously threatened the safety
Of the party. While he would not sur.
render his views. which were opposed
To the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. he was willing to be governed
according tn Democratic principles.

sixth district Of Mississippi, upon
| ,.hn-n indtfn,apt mud in .lltT.tt.n : l,,tr
representative in Congress could safe
~ rely. Ii they chose to instruct their
representative to support the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver he would
be willing to abide by the will OF the
majority whenever that will had been
officially expressed. He thought that
there were many issues Of far more
Importance to the South than the
question Of currency issues. upon
which not only depended the exercise
OF control Of authority by the Demo.
cratic party. but upon the very exist
eDcc Of the party ITSELF
Continuing the It'd. correspondent
compliments Mr.. Denny by saying:
while a new member Representative
Denny has done good service in the
House Since coming here. a number
OF new projects for which appropria-
tiunS were made in the river and hlr-
Dor bill were obtained through his
efforts. In fact. he has been c0mpli-
mcnted by his colleagues for the very
successful fight that he made before
the committee, and for the number Of
appropriations that he has succeeded
in carrying off for the waterways Of
this district"

COUNTY CONvIvTs.
The Hatticsbnrg Gazette thus dis.
cusscs the new law:

The last Legislature passed a law
requiring all convicts in jail, or par
ties there unable TO pay their fines,
to be hired out by the board of super
visors. The county contractor, If
there be one, is to take them, or some
one who will make the required bond.
or the board can work them on the
roads. The board is compelled to hire
them out. subject to being expelled
from Office If they fail so to do.
This is a good law. Ourrounty and
other counties heretofore have had to
carry constantly ut heavy expense for
feeding prisoners because the board
had no sufficient way Of disposing of
them. Under this new law. they GER
tainly can be made to pay their board
II no more, and that will be a great
saving IN the course Of a year. 1t also
does away with with the paupcr's oath
and prisoners will make a desperate
effort to pay their fines.
