around in thc mud, churning the good
old red clay almost to foam.
Unable to get out of the swamp mi
lder Its own power, artificial force
waa brought into play, to assist the
machine. Two husky men, who had
been looking on, placed their should
ers to the rear of the truck and did
much.,,grunting and some pushing.
There was another terrible upheaval
and the big old truck managed lo
pull off the trolley tracks. In run
ping over the rails the truck got
something of a downhill start, which
wai; too much for the mud to over
come, and she kept going.
The Interurban car passed on. and
loni standing on the sidewalk could
lo ,k through the car windows and see
lt'.ic passengers, most of whom were
[strangers, having a great time laugh
ing at the sight of the dismal swamp
(right in the heart of tho city, fringed
on either border with expensive
"Great White Way" lighting posts,
and a ('humber of Commerce nearby
whooping lt up as one of the best
cities this side of Jerlco.
Another Vane.
An Anderson citizen coming in
from Belton yesterday on an Interur
ban car was telling last night of a
conversation which he overheard on
the' part of two strangers who were
passengers on the same car. As the
Interurban train drew near the cit
the men began looking out the win*
dows and admiring the generally
beautiful appearance of the city. As
the car approached closer to the heart
of the city the enthusiasm of the
?trangers became greater, and this
continued until both of them express
<*d a strong desire to como here and
live. v
About that time the car turned into
I Main street and started for the
square. The men suddenly began
craning their necks and looking down
at the mud lu the streets. The ex
pressions that came over their faces
and the remarks they let drop when
they saw tho mud-well, the foitner
couldn't be described In print and the
latter wouldn't look nice in print.
Suffice lt to say. that whtu the car
came to a stop In the square the two
strangers dismounted and walked
back along North Main street, until
they had gone beyond Karie ?street,
Just to get a real good look and see
what mud really is.

At u .special meeting of city council

tion of Paul E. Stephens as a mem
ber of the street paving commission i

elevted ia his stead. Mr. Ledbetter;
was the only nominee for the vacan
ey and bis election was unanimous,
The city council feels that it has se*
lected one of th- very best men in
Anderson for the paving commission,
and is gratified to know that he will|
serve.
At the : a me meeting of council |
adopted a resolution amending a for
mer resolution in which the maya
was made chairman of the paviti*
commission. In a statement to tia
aldermen yesterday Mayor Godfrey |
stated that he thought council fea)
erred In incorporating in the resolu
tion creating the paving commission.
"I think the paving commission ouflit
to be allowed to do its own organiz
ing." the mayor stated, "and I would
therefore, be pleased to have Connell
amend ita former resolution in this
particular." A resolution providing
for this change was submitted and
adopted.
The matter of repealing the ordin
ance which Axed s sanitary tax of .$2
on every family having surface clos
et.- or sewerage connections was I
brought up at the special meeting of {
Council and discussed. It was argued
thst lt waa unwise to tlx auch a tax
Spon the people of the city and a mo
on that the ordinance be repealed
was proposed and adopted.
The resignation of Willie Or tm ah us
a call fireman was submitted to coun
cil, the young man elating that lie^was
about to leave the city. Thc resigna
tion was accepted and Emil Ortman.
a brother of the former, was elected

IMPORTANT CHANGES
IN COUNTY
BRIDGE
NEW
GRADE
MAJOR*
AT
AND NEW
FOR ROAD AT
MILL PLANNED
PENDLETON
Important Improvements Are Be
ing Made in Road to Clem
son College.
Important (banges and improve
nents in tho public highway iu the v'
rlnlty of Major's MUI, in Hock Milla
township, which wilt make thiB the
[shortest and. best route to Brown's
Perry, are now being made by county
convict camp No. 2.
Thc grado in the road at Major's
Mill is being changed, or rather the
road is being relocated BO as to avoid
the steep grade that has existed at
that place. For a distance of some
thing like three-quarters of a mile the
road Is being relocated and a very
much easier grade afforded.
One of tho biggest improvements I
will bc a new steel bridge over the
stream that runs by .the mill. The
crossing will be moved about ot e
hundred yeards up the strc.m from I
the Bite ot the present bridge and a I
100 foot span bridge will replace the r
present structure which is 146 feet in
length.
County chaingang No. 1 ls at work
on the public roads near the town of
Pendleton. Changes in grades arc be
ing made at seversl places In the main
road, and on the road leading to Clem
son College a ISO foot ?pan bridge is
being taken down and a AU built In
Ita stead. This bridge spans a orv
creek. To allow for the passage of
water through the old creek bed in
wet weather, a plpe line being placed
under the HU.
At several points on the Clemson
College rood, between Pendleton and
the Oconee county line, changes in
grades will be made. Owing to the In
clemency of the weather lately the j
road working forcea have been unable |
to do very .much work toward car
rying out these Improvements, ont j
the task wilt be completed at the I
earliest possible date.
