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

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
