WILL OBSERVE THANKSGIVING The Herald and News will lliis year observe Thanksgiving day and in order to do so wo will print and mail llii' paper Wednesday night. Advertisers will please Wear this in iniixl. We will make changes ?ir insert new ads u]? to late Wednesday evcuiui:'. MAIL CARS ABOUT READY. la talking with a gentleman in position to know we liave the assurance I hat llie mail ears for additional mail service on the Southern between ('oluinl)ia and (Jreeuville have been about completed. In fact one is finished and the other nearly so. It will lie recalled that the goveriuncnt lias already issued the order to put the postal service on trains IS and 1M and that the only delay is caused by the failure of the railroad lo furnish the cars. The policy of Supt. H. I'-. Simpson is to put in service only the very best equipment and while he might have had on hand some old cars when the order was first issued he declined to do so and placed an order in the shops for (two now and modern and uptodatc mail cars. J These, as stated, are about completed and the service will be put on in a very short time. We are satisfied flint every o.ie j will he sati-Ticd with the delay when t he fads are known ami will prefer fir>t class 'niii'i11<"111 even ihon-jh it lias caused a >li'^!il delay. AS TO IMMIGRATION. We publish elsewhere au interview and statement from Mr. .1. II. I 'at fen who is secretary of the Immigration Keslrielion league. This is a very live (piestioii before (lie people of this state at this time and what Mr. l'atlc.i lias to say will no doubt, be read with interest, lie en dorses the action of Mr. Watson and seems In lliin'k that the only way to avoid undesirable immigrants is to have their selection under the direction of the state agent. The Herald and News has strong conviction thai we should not solicit immigrants at all, because when we send out agents from the stale or in any way to solicit immigrants we are likely to vet n large proportion, of the undesirables. If we are not mistaken a large portion of those who came over oil the Wittekind apply to this class. As we see this tpiest'ion at this time there is no reason why a deparliiieiit such as we have in this .-tale may not be be.iclicial to the slate in advertising our advantages and our resources and in i\ in-.r cone.-! information in regard to them and thu> be able :.> secure that class ?> ho are seekiu-r homes i.i the best sediou of ibis country. If. however, a steamship line is opened to our iports and the immigrants are lo be .solicited, we are sure to base a lot of uudersirahles dumped on our shores. It', however, our many advantages are properly ami .judiciously advertised those who have money to invest and who are seeking honies with the advantage we have to offer will be attracted here of their own volition and coming in this way will make desirable citizens. We desire to endorse the sentiment expressed by (5ov. Hey ward in his interview i.i Washington on conditions in South Carolina. It is lo be hoped that the aj -proachinu- session of the legislature will not have any radical leiisla; ion to propose. A> to railroads we are satisfied that the traveling' public, as (!ov. 1 lev w ard <ays, w ould much prefer good equipment and safely lo any reduction in p:i?eu^er rates. We are reliablv informed that at least some i I t!ie lai :e i:iilua\ corpora t ions have been v;ivinu spi-cial alI .nit ion to improved >-erv'ice, belter ripiipmeut, 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 disposed towards any revolutionary legislation. We believe that this course will be pursued at the next session of the legislature and thai the railroads will he assured that what we want is good service. The cotton picking; season is drawing to a (dose, and bridge whist will be resumed as the leading amusement in South 'Carolina after a week or two.?News and CouvLi. f WASPS AS PAPEHM.iKUtS. Wonders oi a Nest?Ilavoc lJy i'lO Insceus?Ways to Destroy. 11 is l lie last loving act of I lit' common wasps iti every colony to elect a certain number of their lady fellows aid go t h rough ilit> process of '' I'codi11tlicm up." for a wasp queen earns that title simple by reason of licr si/.e. ami not because of any claim to astislocralic descent. This feeding lasts (lie queen wasps all tin1 winter through, during which time they hibernate i.i some warm corner j out of (lie way of frost and simw, I says the I'all Mall <!a/.clte. j A'liuni March I hey come forth once j mure and pmcced t > Im?k about for ! a n.'.-tiiej place. 11 a \* i 11 ir chosen a site fur this generally in a hollow [tree or in -nine sheltered and sunny I corner among the dry rubbish?the I queen forms a cocoon of "Wasp paper," wherein she constructs about a dofcen colls and lays an egg in each. In due lime the eggs become grubs, land these are led assiduously by the {queen mother until they completely fill the cell. The latter is then scaled up, and in a few duys each grub, which meanwhile iias developed | wind's and legs, and changed from while to yellow-a ml-black, emerges as a grown-up wasp. The real work of nesl bni 1 <1 i:ij?* now begins. ami the whole party go o(T together in search of a convenient hide in the ground for I lie permanent headquarters. This, at least, is wlial the- common wasp does. There are several varieties in (treat Britain, and some of thciin build on the branch of a tree or in the mass of a bank. The little family works very hard to manufacture the material of which iihe nesl i.; made a wonderful sub1 . lance ol tue texture <d paper pulp, I'd 11) from the bark !' trees in the j wasps' mouths. flic wasp was niaki iiir paper from wood pulp for ecu- | jturies before ma i thought of ii ! This j nest prt pi'r contains m large amount j of *'coni'b" ami in each cell the queen lays au egg. Things now proceed apace, the feeding of the grubs and sealing them up i:i their cells going mi as before, j but the <pieen is now assis'led in her i labors by her dozen or so original subjects. ami the others join in the work as I hey hatch out. As the summer advances the nest gets stronger in numbers n.itil the very end of the season, and then some of t'he grubs never see Iho light. A wasps' nesl may contain as many as 10,000 wasps, hul an average nest would be about i.ali thai number. j, Wasps are sucii hard-working lit lie creatures that il seems a sin to destroy their wonderful labor, for the nest is u triumph of archiledual skill. At the same lime, they commit such havoc in orchards and are so troublesome everywhere where food or drink is to be found that every man's hand is against I'liein. They j seldom si illy unless molested or pinched by accident. A certain aniou.it of good is done j by was|is in killing noxious insects. J especialK hou-e t'lies. but this one good act is <|uilt> overbalanced by ' their many deeds of evil. All sorts ol methods ;ire adopted, therefore, to destroy iheni al night lime in their ne>ls. but I lie very best plan o'f all is I lo procure some cyanide of potassium la deadly poison) from a cheinis-1. and place a leaspoonful within the hob- thai leads to the nesl, afterward sealinir I he entrance with a sod of i turf. Next morning ev^ry wasp will be dead, and the nest may be dug out a.id destroyed, brood eomb and all. Not So Many. They went in to dinner together.
