That’s not just a wild eyed rumour,
it’s a very real threat
A Bill known as H. R. 8361, covers
nearly 300 different projects, and if
that was all there was to it, this story
amendment that would authorize the
building of 7 more dams on the Upper
Santee, Wateree and the Congaree
rivers, for the development of more
power, and to give Columbia and
Camdpn water transportation to
Charleston.
We have a huge surplus of unused
power even In wartime, and existing
projects have not had their full ca
pacity Installed yet. ,
Do we want to invest untold mil
lions of our money in the hope that a
comparatively few concerns or Indi
viduals may be permitted to' get a
slight advantage in freight rates at
the^expense of -the- majority ?
The whole Idea ia outrageous. Im
practicable, jindemocratic and finan
cially unsound.
Who started this anyway?
The Board of Engineers* report
states that "local interests request
that the Santee and Congaree rivers
be improved to provide a navigable
channel at least 7 feet deep, and
that a depth of 12 feet be provided if
possible, between Charleston and Co
lumbia," and that **A desire was also
eipresaed fo|* improvement - of the
Wateree river to Camden to permit
economical transportation of bulk
Commodities by water.”
Just who are these "Local Inter
ests?*’ Who Is behind all this?

write or wire our two Senators, Elli
son D. Smith and Burnet R. Maybank
today. Tell them we don’t need more
dams down here, and ask them to op-

Chapter 4
The farms and timber in the Wa't-
eree and Congaree swamps and neigh
boring lands are a valuable asset to
our state. They provide^ the payrolls
ott which many thousands of our peo-
pie depend—a long time Investment
for our future, the future of our chil
dren and their children.
Yet we will lose these great natural
resources If we permit the U. • S.
Senato to pass Bill H. R. 3961 when
they reconvene on Nov. 14.
An amendment tied to this bill by
a senator from Ix>ul8iana propose to
build 7 more power dams on®the
Ck>ngaree and Wateree river system,
including one they would authorize to
be built at Buckingham Landing, just
above Rimini on the upper Santee,

We have had an advantage over
most of the other cotton markets in
that our local cotton mills havw buyers
and they buy some of their require
ments right at their own doors. Long
staple cotton has also been bought
in Camden.
"I think that the predominating
feature of the success of our market
this year has been the good weighing
system that has prevailed. J. Irby
Turner, who, (p his campaign for the
weighers offlc4, promised good plat
form scales has more than made good.
Cotton comes to Camden now from
surrounding counties as well as our
own, even fro mas far away as Swan
sea. Our weighing system carries an
appeal to the farmers. Mr. Irby has
certainly been a big asset to our mark

Wateree swamp back up to Camden,
and the Congaree up to Columbia.

timber, farms, homes, churches, ceme-
taries, schools, highways and every
thing else there to be lost to us for
all time—for what?—for more power,
nnd for river navigation t
Who is behind this attempt to de
stroy our farms and natural resources
and saddle us with 1260,000,000 worth
of dams we don't need?
We have a huge surplus of power
now. in the 49 dams already on tiMge
river systems. Th^ navigation idea
Is ‘a joke, and at best would benefit
only a few concerns or individuals.
