WWliain 01 Garrett, a young civil en
jjlncoi' lost liis life..
The accident happened when u party
i? ? bateau, making a survey of the
route for the proi>osed tower line from
Wateree to Gainden was attempting
t<? reach an island a few miles south
of the iwwor dam, Mr. Garrett, Mr.
Steve l'erry ami a negro, boat mn n were
. ,in the party. All of the occupants
knew that the boat was leaking but
tho.v thought they oouW make it
across the short distance safely, hnt
when they reached the swift current
of the liver the boat rapidly filled
up Un(i went down. Mr. Garrett at
tempted to go toward the island but
was seen to go down and never came
up. Mr. Perry, who could not swim,
kept his nerve and clung to the sun
ken boat, floating the river for a dis
tance of more than four miles until
lie could gradp an overhanging limb
ami pull himself to safety. The ne
gro made his way to the bank and was
also saved. The alarm was immedi
ately given and parties began a search,
i he Power plant was shut down in
order that the search could be made,
but It was not until late Saturday aft
ernoon that the body was -found lodged
against a raft nearly four miles from
where it went down. It was found
by Mr. It. S. Fowler, a cousin of the
.load man. and also a member of the
surveying party, but who was not In
the boat when it went down.
Parties from Camden and citizens
nearby where the accident happened
C;ept up a search all nfght Thursday
night and the following day and night.
A wire net was stretched across the
river with the hope of catching the
t.cwly when it arose, but whenfound It
had sone beyond the wire.
Mr. Garret was 31 years of age, a
native of Travelers Rest, in Greenville
county, and was the only son of Mr.
and Mtp. W. P. Garrett, of that place,
lie is also survived by one sister, Mrs.
( has. D. Partcer, of Greenville. Mr.
<iarrett had full charge of the crew
working here and was considered an
excellent muu in his line. He took a
course in engineering in Clemson Col
lege. and later saw service in the
World War in the .engineers corps be
ing a member of the Rainbow Division.
He was wounded and gassed while in
active fighting and It is thought by
Ms friends that It was weakness from
these wounds that caued him to give
'?nt in the swift current as ho was
?knrtwu to be a good fftvimmer.
The body Was badly decomposed, but
was prepared for burial by Mc. C. W.
Kvsm* and left here Sunday morning

niich' of the dead man, also his partner
in business, Mr. 1)111, and his. cousin, R.
S. Fowler, and brother- in-law. Mr.

What makes the tragedy doubly sad
v.a< the fact that friends of the young

to bo spent upon the Camdeen-Sumter
Kershaw road. ,
A total <* $K?,(K)0 Jn Federal aid
was to bo. given out In six eountles and
the delegation from this county feels
fortunate In the amount they received.
Greenville county sent a large delega
tion in the interests of their county
and they Lead the list with an ullott
meut of $75,000. The money obtained
by Kershaw county will be spent? on
what i* known by the commission 'as
Federal Aid Project No. 20. and ex
tends from the Sumter county line near
Roykln to Camden. When this road
is completed and Sumter county com
pletes her road to the coimty line it
will give a continuous good roadway
from the lower Tec Pee section on
through Camden by way of Lancaster
to the North Carolina line.
While Kershaw County has been
spending a great deal of moaey on
her roadways, it will soon have excel
lent roads leading over the main high

highways i?ass through Camden and
there is more travel over them than
probably any other roads in the state,
