The Tailor Bird.


The brilliantly plumed birds Of the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and if they were not gifted
with peculiar yet useful instincts they
would fall ready victims to their ene-
mics. Chattering monkeys and big
snakes steal and eat their eggs, While
their offspring are preyed, upon By
foes on every side. But it takes sly
monkey or snake to get ahead Of the
tailor bird, small East Indian sing
ing bird. She hides her nest so skill
fully that her enemies cannot find 1t,
no matter how hard they try. Ihls
she does by using her long, slender
bill as q needle. With the tough fiber
Of a parasite plant abundant in the
tropics as thread she sews a dead
leaf taken from the ground to HV-
ing one near the end Of slender and
hanging branch, and between these
leaves She builds her nest, where nell
ther monkey nor snake can approach
because the branch will not bear their
weight.

Editor The Manning Times:
AS there has been nothing from this
part OF the county recently, l desire to
express my views upon the immigration
question now being agitated through
out the State. | cannot see what oene-
fit the Door white man will receive by
immigrants coming here: admit that 1t
would increase the rent of land, would
not this make the wealthy man wealth
ier, and the poor man poorer: Suppose
it increased the value of our lands,
would not that put it out of reach OF
the man who has not q home? How
many young men here are renting their
homes with the hope of some day buy
ing? Can they buy homes if we flood
this country with immigrants? Can we
control that class of labor better than
the kind we have now? Let the same ef-
forts be put forth to get rid of this easy
credit system, that is being used to
bring immigrants, and we can control
the labor we have. There are thousands
of dollars turned loose in mules, horses
and supplies, which clogs the wheels OF
labor, and keeps it uncomfortable: 1T
seems to me that fifty years more, with
the same increase of population we
have had in The past thirty hve years,
immigrants would not be needed. Let
us remember those who are to live
here when we are gone, and give our
conscience some unrest for having sold
the timber, and not try to crowd them
out with immigrants. I would be glad
for information as to how the poor
white man can be benefited with i'm
migration.

The News and Courier makes
an excellent point, in suggesting
that one conviction Of a white
murderer will do more to com
mand respect for law, than the
presentment of many violators
of the dispensary law. There
is not too much stress laid upon
the necessity to force people to
respect the dispensary law. but
there is not enough stress laid
upon the necessity of enforcing
the law against murder when
committed by those having
money or political influence. The
legislator who can devise a law
that will insure "good and law
full men" upon our juries will
deserve a crown of laurels; our
method of securing jurors could
not have been better devised to
defeat justice, if the law had
been written by criminals them
selves, and until the system is
changed we can see no progress
toward law and order in South
Carolina.
Our general assembly is made
up largely of lawyers, most of
whom are of the briefless class,
and their principal work in the
legislature is to amend the sta
tutes to suit some little case
they lost in a magistrates court.
We are not opposed to lawyers
being in the legislature, a few
good ones are necessary, but
very few good lawyers will make
the sacrifice.
We should like to sec in South
Carolina a Law and Order Socie-
ty that will be composed Of pa
triotic citizens who will select
from their number the best legal
talent to draft a jury law for
this State which will make peo-
pie have a respect for all law,
and give an assurance Of salty
to life and property. With such
a law presented to the General AS
sembly, even the ''shysters" will
no5 dare make opposition, to do
so, would expose their object in
seeking seats in that body.

near approach OF Thanksgiving. whea

interest l had at that time dropped
the business. Now 1 have full con-
troll and the management of the
bees to myself, and | will write a
letter on bee culture and its latest
addition. J. will now take up the
Queen bee: When a colony OF bees
loses its Queen, from any cause, or
when they begin thinking of swarm
ing in spring, ;hey prepare to raise
a Queen by constructing queen cells.
This is done by enlarging cell,
drawing out and inclining it down

pearance when completed, peanut.
1t colony loses its Queen. and has
no eggs or brood IN the hive, they
cannot possibly raise Queen, and
unless they are supplied by the
apiarist with Queen or brood from
which to raise one, they will surely
dw;ndle down and die out, but if
they have brood thev will select
probably dozen or two coils, and
by feeding them heavily with So
called royal jelly, Different from
the food given to the working brood)
and by enlarging the cell, they raise

and in two Or three days she begins

flight, her progeny will be cross
between the two races. called hy-
brids. But, if she is impregnated
by All Italian drone her bees will he
pure Italian bees. Her chance for
pure mating therefore depends upon
the, ,relative number OF Italian and

hood. We will say here that, al.
though provided with sting, u

10 per cent in the general death rate.
The decline in Consumption is more
marked than any other disease. Many
causes are attributed. but it is safe to
say that Dr.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds is re-
sponsible for, this decline, to a large ex-
tent. Many life has been saved by
its use. There is nothing anywhere

as possible, to a correct standard,
the number of cubic feet required
for ton varying on account of the
different degrees of pressure TO
which the hay has been subjected
and also with the kind and quality
Of the hay. It is also said that 10
cubic yards of meadow hay weigh a

the lower part of large stacks or 9
cubic yards will make a ton. 10 or

ness and a greater or less quantity
varying from to 500 cubic feet
