the many discomforts that will be en-
countered by the raw and unseasoned

that part OF the border which extends
from the mouth of the Rio Grande

more than 600 miles. When the upper
reaches of the Rio Grande begin To

There Is a marked difference In the
summer climate OF the various points
along the border, due to the varying
altitude and the nearness of the ocean.

ported Lost.

Robert H. Willis, one of the two lieu
tenants of the 1st aero squadron of

lost somewhere in the desert foothills
of the Sierra Madres in Mexico, is q
Spartanburg County boy, and resided
FOR a number of years at Landrum
and Inman, in this county, where his
father, R. H. Willis, taught school:
He is brother of R. H. Willis, OF
this city, and Mrs. Roland Lee, wife
of Representative Roland Lee, a
member of the South Carolina Legis'
lature from this county, is his sister,
Dispatches were sent by relatives
of the young aviator from here yes

N. M, requesting such information as
may be available concerning his fate.
Lieut.. Willis was regarded as one
of the most expert members of the

he started on his flight over Mexico
without the. necessary precaution.
His brother said here that he was
given to taking long chances, bellev-
ing he could overcome any obstacles
that might arise.

wears at Donalds, in Abbeville Coun-
ty, and at present R. H. Willis, the

CONFEDERATE VETERANS TO
MEET IN BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham, Ala, March 25.-
Arrangements for handling the
thousands of visitors who will be in
Birmingham for the annual reunion
of the United Confederate Veterans,
May 16-17-18 with the same dis
patch that normal travel is handled
through the Birmingham Terminal
Station have been made by South
ern Railway as the result of a meet
ing of representatives of the passen-
ger and operating departments at
which it was decided to form for
this occasion a special organization
similar to that which accomplished
such splendid results for the South
ern at former reunions.
It is expected that the attendance
at the reunion will easily reach 75,-
900 persons and the conference was
held in order to perfect plans for
the Southern's part in efficiently NOV
ing this large body of people into
and out of Birmingham within the
short space of three days. Special
temporary facilities and ample police
protection will be provided, and a
large number of expert passenger
men will be on hand to assist the
veterans and their friends in making
arrangements for return trips,
while special operating and mechani-
cal forces will be detailed to assure
the prompt movement of trains.
Meetings of this character are al
ways held by the Southern in ad-
vance of large occasions so that no
feature can be overlooked in moving
the extra traffic it is called upon to
handle, and for the Birmingham re-
union of the veterans there Will be
brought to the service of the visitors
the full benefit of the experience
gained in handling the crowds on
othec similar occasions.

(Rock Hill Herald, March 20.)

(Rock Hill Herald, March 20.)
A marriage of cordial interest in
this city and other parts of the state
will be solemnized this afternoon at
S o'clock when Miss Mamie Plexico
will become the bride of John Pres
ton Williams, of Abbeville. The
ceremony will be performed at the
residence of the brides parents, Mr.
and Mrs. w. L. Plexico, of Ebenezer,
and will be witnessed only by the i'm
mediate family and a few out-of-
town guests.
The bride will be attired in hand
some tailored coat-suit of blue with
modish toque. They leave on the
evening train for a short bridal trip,
after which they will 60 at once to
Abbeville, where the groom is pros
porous farmer. He is a son of Mr..
and Mrs. E. E. Williams, who reside
near Abbeville.
As Miss PleXico, Mrs. Williams is
well known and quite popular in
Rock Hill, and her friends, while re-
joicing in her happiness, will regret
that her marriage removes her from
their midst.
Relatives here to be present on the
happy occasion were, Miss Julia Plex-
leo, of Bowman; Miss Blanche Plexi-
CO, of Reidsville; Spratt Plexico, of
Clemson College, and Mrs. w. A..

CANDIDATE FAINT HERE.

Mr.. Albert s. FAINT, of Bolton,
candidate for Railroad Commissioner
was in Abbeville last Wednesday
seeing his friends and supporters.
Mr.. FAINT is the only candidate so
far announced from the Piedmont
section, which is now without repre-
sentation on the commission. He
feels that the piedmont, on account
of it's having about sixty per cent. of
the vote of the state, and because
of it's being the leading manufactur-
ing center of the state, is entitled
to a place on the commission, and
his friends insist that he is the man
for the job.
Mr.. FAINT expects very shortly to
commence an active canvass of this
county. He is making his way
through the country in a flivver, by
which means he expects to see a
great many more voters than ne
would otherwise do.
