COMMENTS

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.

It seems notable that the
utilization of a planned pow

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.

the plan to .divert the Santet

The diversion was made
and the great Santee moved
to the Atlantic Ocean by way
of the Cooper River, unfor

silt to Charleston and fouling

backbone of the great harbor
of Charleston.
Because of these deposits
