IE, LQLUM A CANAL To the Editor of The News d Courier: The, question is ' asked What- is the Legislature go ng to do With the ' Columbia canal the courts having decided it reverts to the State. This is the best news for South Carolina since- the "armistice." All economical reconstruction questions caused by the war focus and lead up to the cost of fuel. Coal, oil and wood to furnish power and heat for manufacturers, 'trans portation for railroads, sea and river. Coal and oil .ars the stand axd imeasare-the- foot -rulq to gauge. a -value on the seveni se. S outh C omgivih coal is worthtn to fifteen' dollars a ton, would six to ten dol lars per cord, gasoline twenty-three to- thirty cents, kerosene eighteen to twenty-five cents per gallon. Therefore, all freight. is 75 to 125 per cent high all over the United States, with a coal and oil famine predicted by all experts. Anyhow. no cheap fuel is in ,sight for ten years. What right has-'the Legislature of this State, the custodians of the public domain, to allow five million dollars' worth of electric current to run idly to waste opposite its Capital? The fall of the waters in Saluda and Broad rivers as they run through this granite through and form the Congaree, coal being at '$10 per ton, and a new dam and canal and power house, with a new improved lock for navigation being erected, can easily give a value to central South Carolina of five mil lions of dollars per annum. Further more, the navigation of th se streams has been impaired and shut up for twenty-five years. This recent decision of the courts frees the'm. All the granite rock is above the $oot of the shoals. It is the great est in quantity and quality, nearest and only rock on all-water route to the sea from the Potomac to the 'Gulf. The world is calling for this rock in unlimited quantities to build roads, dams, piers, bridges and concrete structures. It is not doing us any good where it is now. What is its value? Ask your me chanics or engineers that are build Wht. Low .... 50Li~ ing- concrete roadj, and structures. Besides, why not hqlp the United States Canal Commission? They have entered into arrangements with a citizens company to put through the Santee and Cooper ca nal and power development. They will need thousands ' of tons of crushed aid ditnension rock. So will Charleston harbor. Why not let this rock down stream to the point it is to be used by boat? The development opposite the Capital can easily be done for three and one-half million dollars and in two and a half years, by reason of its being on granite in a steep, quick valley of granite. The Lord in His marvelous providence has built your foundations and made the dam wonderfully short. Why can't the Legislature re-enact the old Commissioner' Act that de veloped all our canals for naviga tion from 1820 to 1895, amended so as to be like the New York act al lowing the commissioners to float canal and navigation bonds? New York never made the issinine mistake that we made. No lease system for her; she now owns her own canals. Under war and boll weevil con ditions this State it'hard up. A policy to dev'elop the water power and navigation is the only pay dirt ahead. If Ford and Edison can sell, or propose to sell, one hundred million dollars of bonds to the American people to develop Muscle Shoals, and will have to inscribe a circle of 200 miles around the same to sell the' power; if the Southern Power Company can sell fourteen million dollars of bonds to raise the dam at the Great Falls and to develop Big Island Falls right over the line in North Carolina line, these two last named falls resting on an exceedingly limited water shed it is a "cinch" for South Caro lina to float four million dollars, with a watershed above Columbia of 8,000 square miles. It can be easily proved that for primary power it is the best, the most power ful development, counting every day in the year, on the whole Atlantic coast, except Niagara. We have the volume plus the fall. It' only requires the common sense of the business members of the General Assembly and a muzzle on the designating politicians and the IAL Poor Coal trade Gasol AYexper'ieed developumaxii eaystartn ;ta smoothly at a low 11 But to perfect a ha prIoperties inl prop. m)en1tat ion by 0Our C producinig field, ing~ every type of initernzal ini acita serv'ie; ther of the fatr whicl d~evelopnuienit of on Gasolinie equatls or nliOtor gas~olIines4 in pe] economy. It keeps keep costs dlown the Reinr SANJ)in next Legislature can start this work. Not half has becn told of South Carolina's own wealth in nav igation and falling waters. Itb I white coal, as the French call it. We have no coal or oil wells, but we are richer than any State in America near commercial centers. Now don't say this is theory. Do you know that Columbia, Sumter, Newberry, Camden, Bishopville, Orangeburg, Winusboro, Chester, Darlington, Florence, say, inscribe a circle around Columbia of sixty miles, use and are paying ash ev ery year for five millions of dollars' worth of wood and coal, gasoline, kerosene, reside oil to make gas and coke or fuel? You are paying oash for this fuel anyhow; why not do it with your falling wat.ers ? The railroad experts say all of the profits of the railroad go up the smokestack at the immense price that they have to pay for fuel. Please remember also that you have destroyed fully 90 per cent of all your long-leaf pine in South Carolina. It. is gone, and gone for ever. Every time you pay for and burn a gallon of oil, a ton of coal, it is gone, and gone forever. When ever you take a ton of water fall ing through a turbine wheel deliver a horse power or unit of heat, of electricity, the sun power, which is God's power, puts it back to be used again. LIQUOR RAIDS NET JAIL FULL Chicago, Dec. 19.-Five hundred persons are under arrest here, clxarged with violation of the pro hibition laws.
