A. R. (the call for Key West, 975 miles away.) No official messages were sent but the results of the test were noted at all ' stations on the Atlantic coast. Covers 3,000 Miles. 1 The radius of the new plant will be about 3,000 miles. This range prob- 1 ably the acme of wireless operation, : will be attained gradually and it may be weeks before the big plant is "tuniea up" to its. highest efficiency. Communication with the Pacific coast will be attempted only at night for the present. Later on throughout the day, the secretary of the navy at his! desk in Washington will be within instant communication with Key West, Guantanamo, Colon, the naval coaling station, the winter manoeuvre grounds | and all Atlantic stations. When the I system is work perfecfty and the chain of stations is completed,. Washington will be in touch with Hawaii, Sanoa, Guam, the Philippines and Pearl Harbor. The completed system will cost about $1,000,000. The seas will not longer be a wilderness for the navy. Ships, because of weaker equipment, can not talk with the powerful plant at Arlington, but they may relay messages to the various stations for transmission to Washington. Three Huge Towers. Three huge towers on the brow of a hill overlooking the Potomac and ; dwarfing the Washington monument hold the aerials. In their construction some skilled iron workers who bad braved death on many skyscrapers declined to work at such dizzy , heights. One tower is 600 feet above the hill, where its base rests, and that is 200 feet above the river. The others measure 450 feet. At tbe base of the towers are the < sound proof workrooms; quarters for < operators and barracks for the ma- i rines who will guard the towers. Within a year the towers are expe-cted to be talking with the Philippines by relays through Guam and Hawaii. : WdtJiin the next few days the station will attempt communication with the powerful station at Clifden, Ireland, * the nearest working plant on the other * 6ide of the Atlantic. Officers are hope- ' ful of the outcome. * To Bridee Atlantic* Constant communication is. now be- ' ing maintained by a commercial company -with Clifden and Cape Race, New Foundland, and other stations are being constructed for the purpose of bridging the Atlantic with aerial intelligence. A commercial company virtually has completed the erection of powerful plant at Sayville, L. I., which will have as its European terminus a station of similar design in the vicinity of Berlin. Still another near New York is projected with its sister plant in Norway. The Arlington station, however, i marks, the most advanced step thus j far taken in the establishment of regular and steady communication by wireless over long distances, although the records of the army and navy department disclos-e many "freak" messages sent and received over great spaces. Thes*\ however, were exchangd under the most favorable conditions and for the most part are re garded as accidents. Pulaski Lodge, >*o. 20, I. 0. 0. F. Pulaski Ix>dge, No. 20, I. 0. 0.

Clinton, Oct. 28.?A committee has been appointed from the chamber of commerce to take charge of the proposed establishment of a new county in this part of the State, of which Clinton will be the county seat. The proposed county will include portions of Laurens, Spartanburg, Union and N'ewberry. In gea-ral, the lines will run straight, except when a stream Acts as the boundary. The territory as it is drawn on the plan will em3race about 250 square miles of Laurens county, nearly 100 miles of Newberry, about 40 of Union and 30 of | Spartanburg. It will contain a population of approximately 30,000 people and assessed property in the neighborhood of millions of dollars. The principal towns will be Clinton, Whitmire, Renno, Cross Hill, Mountville, Cross Anchor, Cross Keys, Goldville and Kinards. It is proposed to call the new coun- J ty Musgrove. It will contain the bat-1 tie ground of Musgrove Mill, where! Mary Musgrove, heroine of the Revolution, witnessed, from her perch in a tall tree, the struggle of the Patriots against the British army, and witnessed the defeat of the British and the glorious "victory of the- forefathers. As there is not a coainty in the State named for a -woman the people here wish that in honor of the noble women of the land, and especially in honor of the heroine of the women of the Revolution, that the new county be named I for Mary Musgrove and for the battle j of Musgreve Mill; thus doubly commemorating the heroism of the noble women, and further memorializing the greatest historic event in the area of r the proposed <new county. Of the thirty thousand population in i I the new county about one-iourtn win ^ reside in townsi, a larger proportion of town population than now exists ' in any of the four counties save one. It will contain forty miles of the Sea- ^ board Air Line ajid some eighteen T miles of the Columbia, Newberry and g Laurens railroad, also seven banks* , ? five cotton mills and two oil mills. It is worthy of note that Clinton ii r peculiarly fitted to furnish. to the ne^ county of Musgrove an ideal county seat. Clinton is situated on a high T ridge, tlue highest point in the county. r It is an extremely healthy and rapidly 1 ? growing city. It is hdghly moral, amd k the people are generally noted for ed- a ucation and honest business. No oth- r ? *?? PI in ton in resuect to ^ er ww 11 5ui the matter of credit of its business a houses, as it ranks absolutely first in * this. It is a desirable town1 from an e educational standpoint Here is located the Presbyterian College of South Carolina, the college for young men } sustained by the Presbyterians of this State. The largest Presbyterian or- ? phanage in the- United States, the p Thornwell orphanage, is located here, n A. first-class graded and high school p is maintained. About iorty proi?=wui? 0 and teachers are employed in Clinton. B Three cotton mills, with over 80,000 b spindles and nearly 2,000 looms, consume much more cotton than is pro- p duced by Clinton's trade area. This t results in a high price being offered b for cotton. Clinton is within three t; miles of the centre of the area wmou i it invites to come into the new coun- e ty. c At present the people of Renno and C Whitmir? must come to Clinton on the ii train and then go to Newberry, and c those who live in Mountville and Cross p Hill must come to Clinton before go- c ing to Laurens. The new county seat p will be from twenty-one to three miles is nearer each of the towns, by rail, than t ' i'L~ +>> fhrvvp -n^Rsensrer a HO W iS VT li UU v vx ^ ....? w trains each way -each day to them all. ? ' Clinton pledges to build a brick or t ston# court boose and jail, to furnish t the new county with a county home s for the poor and a farm, and pay all e the expenses connected with the "bringing of the records from other counties here, and to support only those men for office who will work t for the good of the whole county.
