ROCKY BOTTOM "T TO BE LIFTED The Conway Chamber of Commerce recently took up with the engineer's office the matter of the removal of a shoal of rock formation lving in the bed of the Waccamaw River, n short distance below the corporate limits, and which was left some years ago when the work on the twelve foot channel from Georgetown to CorKvay was done by sand suction dredges. The dredges used in that work could not remove the rock and when it was found it was left, and the work was discontinued without any provision being made at that time for taking out the rock. Of course the fact is that owing to mis discovery ot a layer ot rocK, the ' twelve foot channel that we had been 1 promised us has never been realized, ' although the work of making the 1 channel was completed with the exception of that. It takes a different kind of machinery and the appropriation made at that time for the deepening of the channel was doubtless all spent in removing the sand, great 1 beds of which now appear for long distances along the banks of the. Waccamaw River. The Chamber of Commerce took upj the matter several month; ago and obtained letters from the leading lumber companies of Oonwav showing the need of removing thi* rock shoal and making the channel really a twelve-foot channel from Georgetown to Conway a;, was originally planned and promised to us. It now appears that the woik of the Chamber has borne fine fruit, and the money is now set aside for taking out this rock. We cannot tell how soon the work will be commenced and completed. .Tust now it is enough to know that things have been put on the move and that the funds are awaiting to be spent as soon as arrangements can be perfected to that end. A fair understanding of the great improvement that this will be can be gained from an examination of the correspondence between the secretary of the Chamber, Mr. M. A. Wright, and the officers in charge of this part of our government. The data gathered by the Cham bet* was first laid before Col. Jadwin, district engineer, who has headquarters at Charleston. Then the Chamber wrote the following letter: "October 20th, 1922. "Maj. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, Chief of Engineers, Washington, D. C., "Dear Sir: Citizens of Conway are very anxious to secure a slight improvement on the Waccamaw River, which will ; involve, we are informed, a very modest expenditure.

"We have taken this matter up <vith Colonel Jadwyn, district Engineer, with headquarters at CKarles:on, and have supplied Colonel Judivyn with data on which we base our request. We presume that Colonel Fudwyn will refer the matter to your >f!ice for approval or rejection. "Some years ago the government jntered upon the project of completing a twelve-foot channel from Conway to Winyah Bay, at Georgetown. With the exception of the rock shoal ibove referred to this channel is now completed. The work was done by a suction dredge, which was, of course jnable to remove the rock formation, ind for that reason the work was not completed at that tune. The ertect [)f tlie presence of this rock in the river is to give only an eight-foot channel and thus renders usless much [>f the splendid work which the govrenment accomplished. The removal r?f the shoal would tfive us a twelvefoot channel for the entire distance. "With a twelve-foot channel schooners could be brought up the river from Georgetown and receive their cargoes here. The lumber industry is well developed at this place and these mills are very anxious to improve the transportation of their product by the use of seagoing schooners. The cost of placing their lumber on the market would be considerably reduced thereby, so that the benefit to be derived from this improvement would not be entirely local. Some benefiit would accrue to purchasers of lumber wherever the output of the Conway mills went on the market. "We enclose herein a newspaper clipping which supplies much detailed information as to the necessity for this work. We would be very glad to have vou confer with Major G. R. Young, of the Corps of Engineers, 2713 Munitions Building, Washington, I). C., who was for some time engineer for this district, and who is. familiar at first hand with the situation here presented. "This matter has been pending for several years and arose only because rock was unexpectedly encountered when the work of completing the twelve-foot channel was in progress. "We are taking the liberty of forwarding you under separate cover a copy of pamphlet recently issued by the Conway Chamber of Commerce, which contains much information m regard to this section. "Yours very truly, Secretary." In answer to the letter above cop? _1 1 1 /It 1 1 A* M II ica, me v namoer received ine ronowing letter, which shows that the work of the Chamber has been successful: "October 2(>th, 1922. "Mr. M. A. Wright, Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, Conway, S. C. ^ "Dear Sir: * "1. I desire to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of October 20th, urging the improvement of the Waccamaw River by the removal of the rock shoal in the channel a short distance below the town of Conway. "2. I take pleasure in informing you that the need for the work ha* been presented by the district engineer and that funds for its execution have been allotted. "For the Chief of Engineers, Very Respectfully', H. TAYLOR, Brigadier General, Assistant Chief of Engineers." suggests'use charcoal fuel In the face of the hardest times since the Civil War, and with ?coaI selling at an outrageous price and winter approaching, 1 would like to suggest rs a partial remedy for the three evils something that vve nowadays almost never see?that is charcoal. 1 am not an authority on the subject but Mr. Conard of the firm of Chitwood and Palmer states that charcoal is used almost en tirely in Haiti, where he lived for four years that it makes a m?st o*<?pl1ont cookimr material: that an astonishingly small quantity will cook a meal and that it is ,a most satisfactory fuel all round. We all know that there are hundred of thousands of cords of wood in Florence county rotting because it cannot be transported to the town* profitably on account of its weight. Hauling wood over ten miles cost* probably more than the wood is worth as a cord of average wood weighs between three and four thousand pounds. Why cannot this material be converted into charcoal and be brought into Florence and other towns and sold by the sack or by the bushel ? In the rural districts wood costs about as much an water and air. Why cannot this wood be converted into a portable form and be conveyed to communities that need fuel that is or should be cheap, and that is certainty pasily handled and efficient as a heat producer.
