We were there through two summers and we were beginning to believe we were really being cooked. When we first went there the British told us we would all be dead if we tried to work at our normal speed.

Colonel Carl R. Shaw, district engineer from Charleston. \s asking ail interested parties to attend the hearing and give their views on ■the advisability of improving the Santee river at and above the Buck ingham Landing site, which .-is one mile above the Atlantic Coast Line bridge between Lone Star and Rimini. Oral statements will be heard but Col. • Shaw has urged, lor accuracy sake, that all important facts and arguments be submitted in writing or mailed to him beforehand. The Chronicle is in receipt of a communication front} one of the lead<- tng professional men of the com munity, who through his scores of years of residence here, understands the peril that fMes the areg in the event the dam is construetd and the waters of the river backed up In his letter to the Chronicle J. W. C. says: "A call for a public hearing on the Santee-Ck>oper Buckingham Landing dam has been issued, the hearing to take place at the Sumter court houso at 11 s. m. Tuesday, August 28. All those opposed to this scheme should get busy with either orsl or written Btatententa in opposition to it. '"This dsm will destroy a great deal of wild life, and what is more Import' ant, millions of feet of timber, which is getting scarcer every day. It is a farce as a navigation project, as, there if only one community contlgu^s to be benefttted and this community is wall snpplied with fast freight service by many railroads with their well managed and expert aervice. It is too expensive for another hydro-electric factor, ths larger suppliers of electric L r current having already decided that steam is more economical. The large impounding of water wlH increase, the mosquito peril, as they fly and are blown long distances by our prevail ing winds which are from the south west. Mosquito control over such a large area is doubtful, and very ex pensive. “As you may guess. I am oppostnl to this dam and 1 underst-^nd that the Chronicle is also opposed to it. If so. while I^have little or no Influence and cannot attend the hearing, your paper Is largely read and does have much influence." State Theatre KERSHAW, S.
