speOtively, Of those two cities, encountered

There 1t was found that the other scout
car had been so racked by bad roads rs to
require the services Of mochanicians all
night, and in the morning the substitute
driver Of the Atlanta car informed Mr..
Wing that he would not attempt to drive
over the roads as they appeared TO be
from Anderson on and that an expert
chauffeur was required. Mr.. Wing tele-
phoned to Greenville for Frank Knsble. q
driver in whose ability he had confidence
and who had Just returned wearisd from
