"ANCIUNT" CAT CAVE
DOWN ITS WEARY BONES
If Columbia wasn't already Just
busted out in a rash of distinctions
this would be an even bettor story.
Even at that it's worth printing.
Yep. tho old Capital city may now
lay claim to another distinction?she
may boast having been the home of
what was thought to have been the
world's oldest cat.
The feline, property of Mrs. J. A.
Sllgh o( Columbia, made ith home here
for 15> years?that Is up until Tuesday,
November 12, when It layod Its ancient
bones down never to gather them up
ugalti.
Recently an arliclu anpeapfrd In a
North Carolina newspaper reporting
the (loath of a cat which hud lived to
tho ripe old dgo of 10 years. The
article said the cat was "believed to
bo the oldest In America."
Well, that statement holds good no
long***
Mrs. Sllgh's "Betty" was tol'able
active and pert shortly before her
death as she was reported to huve
come strolling home one day lugging
a rat the size of which you never saw
In all your born dayS.
We trust that Betty and the rat are
now In a place where bygones are bygones
and are basking in a paradise
of ( ream rivers and cheese Islands.?r

OR. 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.

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.
