M\ K i l l . HF \( II Ho l I I T\h> Atlantic ( unst Line Ham Put on Xfw and Convenient Schedule to Popular Resort. The Sunday excursions to Myrtle Beach were begun on Sunday. Hn] 2Hth, and will continue during the season. A week-<lay schedule has been in? augurated by the Coast Line, which will enahie passengers to rea? h Myrtle Beach In time for a noon-day 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 effi? cient service on account of having a light rail upon this branch of their road but they have recently relald the track with heavy rail, and excursion trains can now be run at a good rate of speed with absolute safety. This noon-day schedule will enable one to go from almoat any part of Eastern South Carolina to Myrtle Beach, rachlng there in time f-?r a noon day dinner. The new hotel proprietors. Messrs. 8t. John * Son. Managers, of the Myrtle Beach Hjtel have recently re? fitted the hot . i handsomely, introduc ? Ing many pleasing changes which will lend to render the hotel homelike in every r< jpeet. This should appeal to the better class of people who desire to take their families to a place of this character, and the managers as? sure the public that their patrons will have the very best of attention.

The making of an early cotton crop is not so Lmportant an Item at present in South Carolina as it will become when the boll weevil has spread over the State. it has been found that there is al? most no cotton, produced in South Texas after July 20 when boll weevili arH abundant In the Heids. In South Carolina August 1 or a few days later may be safely assumed as the limit under the same conditions, con? sequently the cotton crop will have to be made hef?re that date. Can a South Carolina farmer make a bale of cotton per acre by August 1 ? I feel sure that it can very easily I e done, in 1908 the writer planted one acre of cotton April 28 and July 28. ninety days later, had fixed be? yond the bloom enough b dls to pro duee live hundred and seventy pounds Of lint cotton. The cotton was pick? ed September s, six weeks after the _Mh of July, it requires fron ata to seven weeks from tb?- bio >m to tbe ? pen 1 oil. The mahtni Of this early crop was accomplished a* follows: The land wai in cowpeas in 1901. In January lift It was plowed With a reversible disc plow to a depth of eight Inches. Fifteen tons of manure eras spread broadcast over the laud and the disc narrow run over It April 1st it was laid off In four foot rows and listed with a <>ne horse plow. Later the middles \\?-re run out and just before planting a secti >n harrow run over the land. The soil was in tine condition when tin- planting was done and a stand was secured in a few days. The side harrow was oaed at once and subsequent shallow GVltl vations followed rapidly No com? mercial fertilizers were used. Nothing unusual or difficult Is needed in m?k? ln? such a crop. It consists wholly In the art of gettinK a supply of de e.iying matter in the soil; in prepar? ing a perfect seed bed. finely pul.or bsed. firm, and well supplied with available plant food; planting good s.'t d of a well bred, early or medium irly variety] planting the latter part of April; not more than ?:o -half bushel of seed to the acre and CU)tl< vating rapidly to get an early and qu'.ck growth. One thousand pounds or more of a go?.d fertilise r can be substituted f'T the manure in South Carolina. It is easy and a hale to the acre can be made before August 1st almost any year. Prof. w. u.

LOST $100,000 Willi I IN JAIL. fours Speculated In Cotton To Pay Cost of Defense. (Spartanburg Dispatch In New York W arid.) W, T. Jones, a rich planter, who will be taken to the penitentiary next week to begin a life term for poison? ing his wife, has assigned his estate of 8,000 acres to a trust company, ; s trustee, with directions to use the in? come to pay his debts. Attorney Sims, a lifelong friend of Jones, says that in tin effort to re? coup himself for the cost of his de? fense Jones speculated in cotton and wheat and was at firr.t successful, but the tide turned and he lost $100,000. Jones conducted his operations from the Union jail, where he has been confined since his wife's death on the night of July 4, 1908. The Ocinson-Winthrop Agricultural and Domestic Science Train. < rwing to circumstances over which we had no control the date of the starting of our train has been some? what delayed and it is now planned to get it under way about the 5th of June. The people of this State should un? derstand that while this train is plan? ned and equipped by Winthrop and Clem son College yet had it not been for the hearty and liberal co-oper? ation of the railroads of this State its operation would not have lu-en pos? sible. The three great systems of the State, the Southern, the Seaboard Air lane and the Atlantic Coast Line have from the very beginning met the proposition in the most cordial and liberal manner. Not only are they furnishing the equipment in the ?hape of ears i >r this train, but they are also moving that train entirely .free of charge, 1 think it but proper that this fad should be Known as an evidence Of the interest that these roads are taking in the welfare of the people Of the State. Since the last notice of this train was g'ven to the public another car lias been added thereto by Winthrop college. This car will be tilled with an exhibit of household conveniences and should prove quite an attraction and of educational value. It has also pat n found p MWible to add more stock I to the equipment of the Live stock Car so this feature will be especially complete, I The visit of thi.s train should be Of particular interest to the boys of the various corn clubs of the State and it i |fl expei ted that they will turn JUt in force, therefore, special work alon^ tit..- line of corn judging and cultiva tion will be given by Prof. Napier and i I the train will also be accompanied by i . i 1 rof.

POSTAL HANK NOW OPEN. ?liiole Sam" Is Now Doing Banking Business In City?Depositors In \ Ited. ?'Uncle Barn's" Postal Savings de-! partment was Thursday, June 1, opened for business at the local post office and he is now doing a banking business In this city. Depositors are Invited and same have already turn? ed over to the tender care of the de- j partment some of their savings. Any amount of $1.00 or more up I to $100.00 can be deposited at one time, but no depositor is all >wed to put more than $600 in the savings department during me month, this being forbidden by law and persons are requested oot to try to break this ' rule. The money deposited in the savings 1 department is good at any and all times. The certificates Of deposit are not transferable nor are they nego? tiable, so the depositor holds what? ever money he has In the postal sav? ings bank at his own discretion. The j funds can be withdrawn at any time j during the postofflce hours and are I handled exclusively by the employees of the savings department. In Sum- J tor the savings department will be carried an in the money order de? partment by Mr. J. F. Tisdale. regis? try money clerk, who \ 'ill be desig? nated hereafter as an employee of the postal savings department, will have charge of the savings depart? ment. The money deposited in the sav | Ingl bank hears two per cent inter? est and when the amount becomes as much as $20, it can be converted into government bonds which bear two and one-half per cent interest. A certificate of deposit is given with each deposit of over one dollar and these are held by the depositor until he Wishes to transfer or convert his deposit to something else. No charge is made for any deposit. For amounts as small as ten cents post cords can be purchased which an- transferable. When nine ten ' cent savings tamp.-; are purchased ( and posted on this post card the card j is good for one dollar and can be exchanged for a certificate <?f deposit which can be converted into cash. The post cards and the savings stamps are not convertible into r sh at the office or exchangeable for :>r dinary stamps. The names of all depositors are kept strictly confidential, so of course It is impossible for outsiders to know who are depositors and who are not For the same reason it is lmpOSSl >le to say who was the first depositor after the savings department was opened Thursday, but it was stated i that deposits had been made and that more were expected and asked for. The deposits ar- all safe Cor tin whole government is bac king the system and there cannot be any loss thr tugh failure <>r anything like thf t. This addition of the postal bank to the departm? /it makes one more kind of work done in the postofflce. In addition are the registry and mon? ey order business, really express busi? ness, done by the department, are the parcel past system which is carried on to a small degree in the sending by mail of merchandise and packages. These with the regular postofflce busi? ness make up a large scope for the work dom in the department, which is really a very complex and intri? cate affair, although it is not gener? ally regarded as such by the public at large and the patrons of the >fflce.
