November 26, 1907. 1, WILL OBSERVE THANKSGIVING The Herald and News will this 1 year observe Thaaksgiving day and! in order to do so we will print and mail the paper Wednesday night. Advertisers will please bear this in mind. We will make changes or in sert new ads up to late Wednesday evening. MAIL CARS ABOUT READY. In talking with a gentleman in po ,sition to know we have the assur ance that the mail ears for addi tional mail service on the Southern between Gohimbia and Greenville have been about completed. In fact one is finished and t'he other nearly so. It will be recalled that the gov ernment has already issued the or der to put the postal service on trains 18 and 19 and that the only delay is caused by the failure of the railroad to furnish the cars. The policy of Supt. R. E. Simpson is to put in service only the very best equipment and while he might - have had on hand some old ears when the order was first issued he declined to do so and placed an or der in the shops for two new and modern and uptodate mail ears. These, as stated, are about complet ed and the service will be put on in a very short time. We are satisfied that every one will be satisfied with the delay when the facts are known and will prefer first class eqgipment even though it has caused a slight delay. AS TO IMMIGRATION. We publish elsewhere an inrter view and statement from Mr. J. H. Patten who is secretary of the Im migration Restrietion league. This is a very live question before the people of this state at this time and what Mr. Patten has to say will no douibt, be read with interest. He en dorses the action of Mr. Watson and * seems to think that the only way to avoid ,undesirable immigrants is to have their'selection under the dii-ee tion of the state agent. 'The Herald and News has strong conviction that we should not solicit immigrants at all, because when we send out 'agents from the state or in any way to solicit immigrants* we are ljkely- to get a large proporthon of the unidesiralbles. If we are not mistaken a 'Sarde portion of those who came over on the Wittekind ap ply to this class. 'As we see this question at this time there is no reason why a de partmnent such as we have in this state may not be be:.eficial to t'he state in advertising our advantages and our resources and in giving correst information in regard to them and thus be able to secure that class -who are seeking homes in the best se'ction of this country. If, *. ho-wever, a steamship line is opened to our poits and the immigrants are to be solicited, 'we are sure to have a e lot of undersirables dumped on 'our shores. If, 'however. our many ad * vantages are properly and judicious ly advertispd those who have * money to invest and who are seek ing Shomes with the advantage we have to offer will be att.racted here * of their own volition and coming in -this way will make desirable citizens. =We desire to endorse the senti - mernt expressed by Gov. Heyward in -his interview in Washington on con ditions in South Carolina. It is to be hoped that the approaching ses sion of the legislature will not have any radical legislation to propose. As to railroads we are satidfed that the traveling public, as Gov. Heyavard says, would much prefer good equipment and safety to any reduction in passenger rates. We are reliably informed that at least someot'thelarge raihvy opoa tionls have been giving special at tention to imnprov.ed service, better eguipment,. and improved road-bed in South Carolina. rather more than in most other states. This is due, no doubt, in large measure to the * fact that our legislature was not dis posed towards any revolutionary leg islation. We believe that this course will be pursued at the next session of the legislature and that the rail roads will be assured that what we want is good service. The cotton picking season is drawing to a close, and bridge whist will be resumed as the leadingr amusement in South 'Carolina af em) a we or two.-News anid ('u:ier. WASPS AS r-AP . . ....RS. Wonders of a Nest-Havoc Ly L Insects-Ways to Destroy. It is the last l-ving act of the com mon wasps in every colony to elect a certain numher of their lady fellows a:id g,o through the process of "feed ing them up." for a wasp queen earns that title simple by reason of her size. and not because of any claim to astistocratic descent. This feeding lasts the queen wasps all the winter through. during which time they hibernate in some warm corner out of the way of frost and snow. says the Pall Mall Gazette. About March they come forth once more and proceed to look about for a nesting place. Having chbsen a site for this-gen.erally in a hollow tree or in some sheltered and sunny corner among the dry rubbish-*the queen forms a cocoon of "Wasp pa per," wherein she constructs about a doken cells and lays an egg in each. In due time the eggs become grubs, and these are fed assiduously by the queen mother until they completely fill the cell. The latter is then seal ed up, and in a few diays each grub, which meanwhile has developed wings and legs, and changed from white to yellow-and-blac, emerges as a grown-up wasp. 'The real work of nest building now beins. and the whole party go off together in search of a convenient hole in the ground for the .permanent headquarters. This, at least, is what the common wasp does. There are several varieties in Great Britain, and some of them build on the branch of a tree or in the grass of a bank. The little family works very hard to manufacture the material of which the nest is made-a wonderful sub stance' of the texture of paper pulp ed up from the bark of trees in the wasps' mouths. The wasp was mak inZ paper from wood pulp for cen turies before man thought of it ! This nest prc.per contains a large amount of "comb" and in each cell the queen lays an egg. Things now proceed apace, the feeding of the grubs and sealing them up in their cells going on as before, but the queen is now assisted in her labors by her dozen or so original sub jects, and the others join in the work as they hateh ont. As the summer advances the nest gets . stronger in numbers ntil the very end of the season, and 1$6in-some of the grubs never see the light. A' wasps' nest may contain as many as 10,000 wasps, but an, average nest would be about ialf that number., ~Wasps are such hard-wvorking little creatures that it seems a sin to de stroy their wonderful labor, for bb-e nest .is a triumph of . architectual skill. At the same time, they com mit such havoc in oretards and are so trouble:some everywhere where food or drink is to be found that ev ery man's hand,.is against them. The.y sel'dom sting unless molested or .touch ed by accident. A certain amount of good is done by wasps in kill.ing noxious insects. eipecially house flies, but this one wood aet is quite overbalanced by their many deeds of evil. All sorts of. methods are adopt-ed, therefore, to destroy them at night time in their nests, but the very best plan of all is to procure some cyanide of potassium (a deadly poison) from a chemist, an'd place a teaspoonful within the bole that leads to the nest, afterward sealing the entrance with a sod of turf. Next morninbg egry wasp will be dead, and the nest may be dug out and destroyed, brood comb and all. .Not So Many. - They went in to dinner together. He wps v'ery 'bashful, anid she tried n vain to draw him out. Finally she began to talk books, and he became responsive. ''And Hugo?"' she ask ed. 'Do you like his style?'' ''Oh, yes,' he replied; '.'I find him inten sely interesting. I've read a numbher of his books.'' Then she asketd, 'Have you read 'Ninety-threef''' 'No, I've-er-only read three. I didn 't know he had written so may.' NOTICE FOR ELECTION.

Don't Dose the Stomach to Cure Ecze ma and Other Skin Dis eases. Those afflicted with Eczema, psor iasis, salt rheum, or other skin dis eases of a similar nature, should nev er dose the stomach to rid themsel ves of the terrible itch. They should doctor the itch where the itch is cure the skia through the skin, not through the stomach. Eczema and other diseases of a kin dred kind are skin diseases-not blood diseases. Science has shown that Eczema is caused by germs in the skin, and that the disease can b> eradicated only by killing the germs, Dr. -Decatur D. Dennis was one of the first ,physicians to follow out:'the germ theory in skin diseases. Then he discovered that by mixing oil. of wintergreen with o,ther sootlius agents he had a liquid preser4pior which killed 'the germs hand ecired the awful itch, leaving the skin white and smooth. Since that" time this D. D. D. Prescription has ibeen the stan dard remedy for skin diseases, just as D. D. D. soap is the standard high~ grade skin soap. The first few drops of D. D. D. give instant relief from the terrible itch and from the frightful bnrning af the diseased skin. So reliable is this D. D. D. remedy Vha.t hundreds of physicians presc.ribe it. It is a wash as thin as water and as mild and as pure, which is applied to t-he diseased portion of the skin. Mrs. Frances Richmond af Ul1ton, Trimble'. county, Kentucky, writes: ''My little girl's fingers were sore almost to the bone from Eczema. I usedpart of the sample bottle af D. D. D. Prescription received from you and now they are well. It is a won derful ski:2 remedy.'' We carefully investigated this D. D. D. Preseription before recommend ing it to our neighibors and patrons, and after a long experience we are more than ever conviticed of its w,on derf-ul merits. 'Mayes' Drug Store, Ne'wberry, S.
