graphical maps, that the low water
in the Santcc at Ferguson is ffty-two
feet above tide water at Moncks Cor
ncr. These two points are the ter
mini Of the canal; in other words, the
two rivers run parallel, but the San
tee is tifty-tWo feet elevation over the
Cooper, which is tide water stream
from Charleston to point sixty miles
in the interior. There is a thrcc-fOot
tide at Moncks Corner.
Those who heard Of this proposition
Of tifty-foot fall in the water Of the
proposed canal were frankly skcptical;
it was prcpoStcrous to think Of a
water power on the coastal plane of
South Carolina. Yet Il power of mag
nitudc has been discovered.
And when the promoters learned
that there was a considerable power
development possible, they applied to
Congress for the right to develop the
power. After two years the petition
has been granted. The delay was
ncccssitated by the fact that so many
surveys were necessary.
1t would not have been proper for
the canal company to divert all Of the
water Of the Santee river, and depth
surveys were necessary, showing the
flow Of the Santec and several depths.
ultimately it was learned that the
Santee river could afford all the water
required by the Santee canal and yet
leave large volume in the river, as
required by law.
Months and months have been spent
upon surveys and soundings and in
hearing objections raised but the gov.
crnmcnt finally has decided to issue
the permit.
There will be power dam at or
near Hell Hole swamp, in the vicinity
OF Moncks Corner, which will have
$4,000 horsepwore, due to the drop
from the Santce to the Cooper river
