Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Reel, of Edge
field, have announced the engagement
of their daughter, Miss Margaret Eliza
beth, to Mr.. T. Cleveland Calhson, of
Lexington, the marriage to take place
in December. No announcement IN

and genuine congratulations. Mr.. Cal
lison is the junior member of the Lex
ington law firm of Messrs. Thurmond,
Zimmerman & Callisor, and, since
coming to Lexington two years ago, by
his gentlemanly manner and christian
bearing has endeared himself to every
one with whom he has come in con-
tact. He is graduate of the Univer-
sity of South Carolina, and is a young
lawyer Of rare ability, having but few
equals as an advocate, and being a
wise and careful counsellor. He has
many friends throughout the State
who will learn of his approaching mar
riage with keen interest and pleasure.
Miss Reel is one of the most talent
ed and charming young women OF
Edgefel5, and is equally as popular as
the intended bridegroom. All Lex
ington, in advance of the happy event,
extend to these popular young people
most cordial good wishes.

Two Squadron of Cavalry Move Under
Hurry Orders.

San Antonio, Sept. 3O.-Two squad
rons of the third cavalry, one machine
gun platoon of the third cavalry and
battery c.. of the third field artillery
are being rushed in three special
trains to Eagle Pass this afternoon.
No definite reason was given out here
at department headquarters for the
movement.
Washington, Sept. 30.-It is thought
here that Brigadier General Bliss, COM
manding the forces patrolling the Texas
border saw fit to increase the guard
at Eagle Pass to prevent the possible
destruction of the international bridges
there by Carranzistas. 1t has been said
that the CarranzistaS were about ready
to leave Ciudad Poririo Diaz across the
Rio Grande from Eagle Pass and it
was feared that, being desperate and
having nothing to lose by such an act,
they might attempt to destroy the
bridges. AS General Bliss has entire
control over the border situation he
ordered the additional troops without
consulting the war department.

union miners marked the copper mine
strike today.
A special car with 80 men from a
New York detective agency, brought
here by the Ahmeek Mining company,
to assist in breaking the copper strike,
was attacked presumably by strikers,
when it arrived at Ahmeek. A number
of shots were fired at the car, and
the fire was returned. The car win

A few hours later when the men re-

shots again were exchanged. Only one
of the automobiles was hit and as far
as known no one on either side was
wounded. Disorder was rampant in the
Calumet and Keweenaw districts, fol-

OBrien of the injunction against pick
citing and interference with workmen by
