The Sunday excursions to Myrtle
Beach were begun on Sunday, May
2Sth, and will continue during the
season. A weekday schedule has
been inaugurated by the Coast Line,
which will enable passengers to
reach Myrtle Beach in time for a
MONDAY dinner. This is a most
pleasing change for the people of
the Eastern part of this State who
desire an outing at the seaside For
several years the Coast Line has
been unable to render sufficient ser
vice on account of having a light
rail upon this branch of their road
but have recently relaid the track
trains can now be run at a good
rate of speed with absolute safety
This noon-day schedule will enable
one to go from almost any part of
Eastern South Carolina to Myrtle
Beach, reaching there in time for a
noon-day dinner. The new hotel
Droprietors, Messrs. st. John & Son,
Managers of the Myrtle Beach Ho-
tel, have recently refitted the hotel
handsomely. introducing many pleas
ing changes which will tend to rem
der the hotel homelike in every
respect. Thi sshould appeal to the
better class of people who desire to
take their families to place of
this character, and the managers
assure the public that their patrons
will have the very best of atten-
ton.

New Gasoline PIow.

Mr.. l.. A. Greene, of this city. has
invented a gasoline plow that he
claims will do the work of six mules
and can be operated as cheaply as
one mule can be fed. Mr.. Greene
has beaten a gasoline engine into a
plow shear and it will plow with
out the necessity of a mule mule
being hitched to it. The machine
is now being built by the Morgan
Iron Works, of Spartanburg and a
patent has been applied for.
The machine is about 80 inches
in width and four and a half feet
long. 1t travels on three small
wheels, the stereing wheel being in
the front and the main driving
wheels at the rear. The machine
Will travel in rows, and can be op-
Grated on almost all kinds of rough
and rolling ground. Two large iron
weights are placed on the machine,
which prevent it from turning over.
The capacity Of the plow lies in the
construction whereby these large
weights are applied to the driving
wheels. This may be done in any
desired quantity from 1000 to 2O,-
600 pounds, giving the machine
power to pull. The machine will
be of 50-horse power and will plow
from four to six feet wide and from
10 to Is inches deep in preparing
the soil. When the heavy weights
are taken off the wheels the ma
chine weighs only about 1000
pounds and will pull from one to
six cotton or corn planters and
plant each row to a scale. 1t will
cultivate in the same way from one
to six rows when the crops are
small. The machine is not on
made for a plow, but can be used
to operate threshing machine, a
mower, most any machine that is
used on the farm. The machine is
operated by a gasoline engine, and
can also be used to haul wood or
farm produce to town. Mr.. Greene
said this morning that it is his pur-
pose to furnish the farmers with
machine that will do the work of
five or six mules and be operated
as cheaply as a mule can be fed.
He said that it was his intention
to eliminate the use of the horse
entirely and to add to the comfort
OF the farmers by furnishing ma
chinery for the cultivation of their
crops. Mr.. Greene is the inventor
of the we'll known southern cotton
grader.-Greenville special to Spar

Miss Winifred Mears, California
girl, well known in San Francisco and
Washington society, is the originator
of the idea to have the battleship Ore
gon, known the world over as the
bulldog" Of the navy. lead the com
bined fleet of the nations through the
Panama canal ON its completion in
1915.
Congressman Foss, chairman of the
house committee on naval affairs has
publicly and officially approved her
plan. Miss Mears has sent petitions
all over the United States in behalf Of
the Oregon. and these are being sign
ed by leading officials and professional
and business men of the country and
are being forwarded to Washington.
| Some time ago the secretary of the
navy stated that if tire people desired
this honor for the Oregon he would
have no objection to 1t. The Oregon
was placed in commission recently
after having been out of commission
Ave years. 1t is understood that thu
placing of the great ship of war in
commission was due TO the efforts OF
Congressman Kahn of California
In her petition Miss Mears states:
"Other sea lighters may be of mort
ponderous proportions; others may
loom with more Impressive outline OF
human vision; others may have 9
longer roll call in their complement OF
men and an armament of weightiel
and more numerous guns. But Of al
the ships that ever sailed the sea, OF
al the fighting machines that ever
cleared for action. not one in all his
tory has a record as sailer or fighter
that equals that of the good ship Ore
gon.
Nothing would so emphasize tht
completion OF the Panama canal as The
U. S. S. Oregon leading the navies Of
the world Old this occasion as She
would symbolic at once the militancy
Of the United States in naval creation
and her skill in canal building"
