posed to be built Just abore Rimini
on the Santee at an estimated cost of
leO'.OOO.OOO. would flood 200,000 acres
in the Congaree all the way to Co
lumbia, and the Wateree to Camden.
This would for all time destroy many
valuable farms, homes, churches,

swamps, that now provide payrolls for
many thousands of our people in our

We have a huge surplus of power
now—we don’t need more power, but
we do need our farms and timber.

' Chapter 2
Back in the horse and buggy dayi
in South Carolina, large and small
plantations along the Santee. 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. R. 3961 now In the
