YOUR STATE AND MINE W HERE Highway 76 crosa- es Twenty - Three - Mile creek, between Anderson and Clemson, near Sandy Splines, is something that is probably-unique in America. A wooden bridge on a dirt road that runs along the banks of the creek crosses jqst above the water. Directly over that is a concrete bridge on Highway 76, and just above this bridge is a long trestle on the Blue Ridge Railway. 'Someone hot figured that five levels and types ot transporta tion could be seen at one time at this point, one directly above the other—a boat on the stream, a wagon on the dirt road, an automobile on the highway, a train on the trestle, and a plane in the sky. Some ycart ago Robert Rip ley, in his “Believe It or Not,” carried an illustration of this unusual spot. Although it was published in several hundred newspapers in America, chances are there are a great many South Carolinians who do not know about it, and many have doubtless crossed the bridge without noticing it.
