About that time one of interurban trains come lumbering the street from Belton and was forced to come to a standstill on ac count of the truck blocking tho t|ecks.

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.

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.
