Con garee and Wateree, the rivers were used for carrying cotton, potatoes, rice and other commodUiea and merchandise up and down stream. In 1880 the original SanteeCooper Canal was completed, and freight was hauled by river and canal from Co lumbia to Charleston. " In 1840, the raUroed wee eompleted between th^e two cities, and in 1850 the 'Santee- Cooper Canal was out of business for good. During the year 1846 the railroad was agtended to Camden, and to an effort to maintain and jitlmnlate navi gation on the Wateree River to dam- den, provision was made in the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1881 “for a safe and unobstructed 4-foot navigation for steamers from Camden to the mouth’’ (of the Wateree.) This was later abandoned. 1 When the inpdem methods of raU- roads and go^ highways came, the river traffic dried up, but again some one is attempting to revive the dead hope. Ilf Bin R.
