Given under my hand this 11th day of April Anno Domini 1936. N. C. ARNBTT, Held No Fear For Safety of Big Dam With all four of tho big flood gates at Lake Murray open, and thousands of to 118 of em pounded water ruHhlnK through thorn uvtyry minute, Loxlugton Power Company officials express no uneasiness that tho "largOHt earthen dam in tho world," which empounds tho waters of Lake Murray, will fail to withstand the pressure of the highest water since the big dam was finished in 1930. For the first time in the history of the daih and the big lake, it is necessary this spring to open all four flood gates in order to keep the lake waters at a high mark considered stife by federal government engineers, so it is said. An official of the Lexington Water Power Company, however, stated last week, as quoted in a dally newspaper, that the lake could stand an additional rise of three, or four feet without danger. Put at that, people who live In the Saluda river valley between the dam and Columbia, and many in Columbia and New Brookland, will probably sleep better ut nights when the intake into the lake again becomes normal, which is about equaled to the amount of water used in the generation of energy. The spring freshets in the upper part of tho state Is causing tho Saluda river <o bring into Lake Murray an unprecedented amount of water, and local rains, which have been the heaviest within tho history of Lako Murray, with Bcores of creeks and uran"hco eiuptin^ hoir swollen waters into the lake, have caused Lake Murray,along its f>00 miles of shorelin^Mo establish new high water marks. Places where local fishermen last summer cast halted hooks for the trout and bass are now hundreds of yards out in the lake, and water under the double bridge, near Cedar Grove, at Hook's bridge, and other favorite fishing spots of Lexington county anglers, are so near the floor boards of the bridges, one can dangle his feet in the muddy water from the bridges. Numerous branches, contribntories to the lake, have back water in them never known before, and houses along the lako front ordinarily far removed from the lapping waters of the lake, now have back water in their yards, and many people who live in these, houses can sit on their porches and fish. Tho high water has worked a complete change in the appearance of tho lake in many places. New shore lines have been established and familiar land marks on Islands and in many cases the islands themselves have disappeared under the surging muddy waters. Many good fishermen contend the high waters of the lake will make for better fishing this spring and summer, contending that these back waters, have taken, in new ground, which abound in food for trout and crappies, and that these members of (he finny tribe will be found in abundance in the new water, where they will go to feed. While no one expects the dam to , 1 ^m THE LA8T CUSTER SURVIVOR Colonel Varnum Dies On Pacific Coast Last of Men In Battle. In th?? passing of Colonel Charles A. Varnum, In San Francisco, death has claimed the last surviving officer of the Seventh cavalry who rode with General George A. Custer into the battle of the Little. Dig Horn in Montnna. * Colonel Varnum, then a lieutenant Just four years out of West Point, was Custer's chief of scouts and led forth Cree and Crow Indian scouts, hereditary enemies of the Sioux, in advance of the Seventh until the trail of Sitt'lng Dull and his warriors was picked up in a section of Montana then unsettled by white men. Vnrnum accompanied the hundred men under Major Heno, Custer's second in command, who was sent ahead and were engaged in bloody battle with the Sioux when ('lister and 225 men were annihilated three miles , away. j Next June will mark the sixtieth 'anniversary of the battle of the Little Dig Horn. One by one the survivors I of the Seventh who rode with Custer that day have passed on into the Valhalla of the pioneers who have opened the West to settlement by the white man. Charles Varnum was the last. Now he, too, Is gone. break, nevertheless there is a great deal of speculation as to what would happen were such a catastrophe to take place. There are many who believed the waters of Murray, in case of a break, would rush down the Saluda valley in such volume and force that they would reach up to the capltol In Columbia, and would sweep everything in their path between the dam and Columbia, away; while, on the other hand, others believe that . because the empounded waters cover I such a large area, of necessity, even with half the dam gone, the waters would oscape In more or less of an orderly fashion and spread over the valley before reaching the confluence of tho Saluda and Broad ' rivers, and that the damage would be nothing like ns groat as some thjlnk it would. However, it will take a mighty good engineer to figure out Just what would happen were the dam to "blow." In the meantime .It is the sincere wish of all the people of Lexington county that nothing of the kind happens.?I^exlngton Dispatch-News.
