GEIOER FAVORS THE ANTEfe-COOPER PROJECT Editor of The Oalhoun Timo#: After reading your account of your vlait to the Santee-Oooper development! decided to write my approval of It. After 'a prevloue vlalt you [nade down there I . wae somewhat amused on reading your write-up ae you seemed to doubt the feasibility of the undertaking. I went down there about that time and there was a slgu up on dry grouud, no water iu sight which read: "This will be the site of the power house and locks." Your scepticism was somewhat justified as It .required great faith In the engineers who round tuoge mtor levels. Bpeaklng of the navigation feature of the project?the money spent on these locks will be thrown away as far as navigation to Columbia Is concerned, and when Mayor Owens was stresslug this feature when the project was In the discussion stage, I suspected him of secretly working against the project. When the project Is completed it will be a wonderful source of power and should last as long as the sun shines with enough heat to raise the water vapor to fall later as rain or snow. Those qualified to form an opinion say that this will tye a long time. This will be a source at power after all the oil and coal have befen exhausted and most of the wood. Probably In the future a dam will be built at the hoad of the Santee basin and another huge development formed of the waters of the Congaree and Wateree, and other dams further up these rivers so that every kilowatt possible Is generated from this source. Whon this is* done the various dams should hold the waters of the greatest flood, so that the spMlvtey of the Santee dam will not be needed. The coons, squirrels, deer and turkeys will be put out of businoss in that area, but the ducks and fish should much more than offset their loss. The creeks and small streams ure so nearly on the swamp level that they run much farther Inland than similar streams running in I^ake Murray. \ Mr. Carmody said that if the natives of the state did not use the power generated by the development that others would come In and use it. This would not make much difference as the main thing will be to get new industries for the state. Mr. Cooper said some waste was Inevitable in An undertaking of such magnitude, but even the disgruntled Mr. Irby did not charge any graft. The water that passes through the diversion canal should be very clear, as the Santee basin will serve as a long settling reservoir, and the canal will take the water only oft the top. Electricity 1s a wonderful force. In a foot space 011 a table can be placed a small motor, a light bulb, and a heating unit, and thus have in that small space the three great manifestations I of energy from this wonderful force which no one really understands.

C| June 28pdtf j I Town and Country ! To Clash in Polo. (continued from first page) long polo season ahead. Cyril Harrison, manager and playing ace of the Camden Club, who was out of action nearly all of last season because of a fractured skull when thrown from his i mount when in action, and who has been playing sensational polo with the Pegasus Club on Hong Island all summer, M. B. Burns the farmer and merchant member of the club, Kirby Tupper, C. P. DuBose, Jr., Eddie O'Brien, Claude Llghtfoot and others j are rarin' to go. While some work remains to be' done on the new field it gives promise' of being one of the best in the south, entrance to the field is by the highway which leads off No. 1 highway just west of tlie Seaboard overhead bridge. -Messrs. Harrison, DuBose and Colonel John Wall visited Fort Bragg last week and contacted army officials in! regard to any polo players in the: fort who might be interested in piaying. Later Lieutenant Colonel Whitaker stated that he was in hopes that the fort might be able to gather a team to play, in Camden during the season. Other polo players, including Charley Little, Charley Robertson. Ancruin lioykin, Gerry Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Minnick are expected to show up on the ponies duringlthe season. The No. 1 polo field back of the Kirkwood, which was seeded late because of the long dry spell, will be reserved for the more important games during the season. Eventually all polo, operations will be transfetred to the nevt field.
