COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR 1 have written and talked , quent visits to my office in quite a bit about the Santee- ; m y office -in the Carolina Cooper and the Panama Canal, though 1 am not an engineer and have not thrown an> light on either great project. In my ignorance I think both Santee-Cooper and Panama Canal presented the same problem. You may know that a ship passing through the Canal from the Atlantic will go through several locks, be cause the Pacific Ocean is higher than the Atlantic. And, of course. coming from the Pacific into the Atlantic we have to enter locks to let us down, mord br less. In tbe days when the Sah- tce-Cooper was being advoca ted a practical engineer spent many hours with me, explaining the lay of the land, or rather the lay of the water, for he first told me that the Santee River, on its way eastward to enter in-1 Life Building at the corner of Main and Gervais street. I first heard of the Santee River being higher than the Cooper Rievr and that this difference might be used to utilize the resulting force for a water power. You will recall that the two rivers were at notable heights at a point about twenty six miles apart. That was the reason for the Santee-Cooper and the power at Pipinopolis, near Moncks Corner. As you see, nature 1 made possible water power for electricity near Moncks Cor ner, which is otherwise low. flat country. It seems notable that the utilization of a planned pow er site became the mammoth electric plant no longer de pendent on a river. Normally the Santee River The 196B>.feed grain pro- M ram, announced recently by ecremry t of Agriculture Or* Vllle L.

No diversion payments, .will be made for Jhis minimum <ttyersion, ex cept for small-farm acreages —the same aS in 1966 and 1967. 2.

S P*^ S anc ^ empties into tht somewhat the same problem Atlantic ocean in two stream; as the Panama Canal. some miles south of George I didn’t know until my friend told me that the Santee was very apprecib- ly higher than the Cooper River; and that at a point about 26 miles apart the dif ference in height was so notable that it suggested the practicability of a power plant to utilize the fall of the water. In the course of time there was quite a lot of opinion pro and con; but the engi neers decided to solve the problem by diverting the Santee River from its ocurse to the Atlantic south of Georgetown so that the river would flow through a new canal to the Cooper River and enter Charleston harbor. town. Engineers* conceived the plan to .divert the Santet into a new channel emptying into the Cooper River neai Charleston. The diversion was made and the great Santee moved to the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Cooper River, unfor tunately carrying mud and silt to Charleston and fouling the great stream which is the backbone of the great harbor of Charleston. Because of these deposits there is the problem ol clearing the channels ol Charleston harbor. So we haev many proposals, ever including a plan to destroy the Santee-Cooper project. oartment, Voice — Beth Lindsay and Nan Smith, both of Green ville; Karen Bremer of San- 'ord. N.
