The  Piedmont  Air  Line,  which  will  convey  the  Eastern  party,  passes  through  some  of 
the  most  interesting  portions  of  Virginia,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina  and 
Georgia,  and  many  places  along  the  route  will  afford  opportunities  for  spend- 
ing some  time  pleasantly  and  profitably.  It  is  the  intention  to  visit  several  of 
these  localities  on  the  return  trip.  The  route,  it  will  be  noticed,  passes  through  a 
healthy  section  of  the  South,  and  at  a  considerable  distance  from  that  portion, 
where  Northern  visitors  might  be  liable  to  expose  themselves  to  malarial 
influence.
