Toe Greenville Herald of yesterday
aye:
The talk sf tho Intorarbau ia about
? be revived apain. With tho pro
ro?5 u? tho work \ on tho Hue being
ullt from Anderson to Belton, cornea
ho announcement that the promotora
t the Eaaley line are by no moana re
lairing idle.
Wi'llamaton, Peiner and other towna
eiweon here and Belton are deeply
a te rea todin the movement. A Wil
iamston mau ir the city yesterday,
atking of the Interurban, earn that hie
own waa ready at any time to come
orward with a good stiff .subscription
0 help further the project, lie ex
cessed the belief that in two years the
oad would be a reality.
"The success oi the Anderson-Bel
on lice," declared thc VYilliaip&toD
ann, "will mean the immediate con
traction of the line to (?reenvide,
irovided all tho towns along tho route
nil do their part. Williamatoti ia eu?
huaiastio over the trolley, and we aro
eady to put up our share at any time."
lt is known hero that a number of
Ireenvilte bueineBS meti have recently
nterested themselves in tho building
if the line from Belton to this city, ap
troolattna the /olome of business euch
1 connection would bring to this city.
The great Middle West, which has
icon built and dotted with prosperous
owno, gives the groat credit for its
ipbuilding and great growth to the
nterarbau trolley lines, which form a
lot work over a wide area of that ter
itory.
This State, too, has had aomcoxjpe
lence in the same direction. Tho
Mken-AuguBta line nets a splendid
)roiit, has opened up to towns along
ho lino a vast volume of new busi
ness.
"Greenville needs the interurban and
the interurban wilt be incomplete
wi t? cat a Greenville terminus."
That'u the declaration of a Green
ville man who is interested in the pro
ject. "Thia road will be built; not
inly from Anderson to Greenville, bat
?n to Paris Mountain, declared the
[Ireenville man. The Paria Mountain
iine in most important, and it may bo
built before the first tie ia laid on the
Greenville-Anderson linc Tho Parla
Mountain Land Company la ready to
ont na? beaus whenever the Green
ville Tree ti on Company caye tho word.
Tko laat time Colonel Dawe* waa down
here he got interested in the Parla
Mountain proposition," continued the
interurban enthusiast. "You know,
tbe Greenville Traction Company and
Ita allied corporations have considera
ble holdings in tba mountain neigh
borhood; some fine springs are on their
property, and the development ot a
fine hotel property up there wouldn't
surprise me even a little blt? We may
wake up some morning and find a
Toxaway right at our doom."
