with submit some facts as to cross
mross upon the Santee.
The State -Iighway Commission
during the month of .June, 1918, made
surveys upon the Santee river at
Pinckney's landing. Murray's ferry,
and Lanneau's ferry. The commission
went in to the estimates carefully and
passed the following resolution at a
later meeting. "Be it Resolved That
the State Highway Commission ap
proves as federal aid projects the two
crossings of the said Santee river, one
at Pinckney's landing, and the other
at Lanneau's ferry, based on estimate
No. 3, for each' of the proposed cross- 1
ings, and will recommend their ap
proval to the United States Depart- I
ment of .Agriculture, provided the
counties interested can -finance their
proportionate part of the cost."

EE CO.,
Legislature but for first one reaso1
and then another our plan has beer
blocked at each session.
Since the past session of the Legis
lature we have formed a company
styled as Santee River Crossing Com
pany, and are planning a canvass of
the citizens of the counties directly
interested and named in our contract
and in addition other citizens of the
State to raise the necessary funds to
meet the federal aid in putting a
crossing on the Santee at Pinckney's
landing.
This contract is to be printed in
duplicate and numbered consecutively
and as soon as I receive them from
the printer will begin my canvass by
appointing collectors in each town in
each county interested, also other
towns which are interested in the pro
ject, one of which is Charleston form
the fact that it will bring more trade
to your merchants and be a help to
your traveling men outof your city.
I have covered a part of the terri
tory already interested in this project
and have met with great encourage
ment so far, and fully believe if we
will get together and push that we
will see results in a very short time.
I have noticed from time to time
different ones writing in your valu
able column; about other crossings
'tpon the Santee and for the informa
tion of those not informed will state
that when the engineers of the State
HIighway Commission made the esti
mate at Pinckney's lancing it was my
pleasure to help them, and they in
vestigated the crossing of the old C.
S. N. Railroad at Vance, S. C., and
also the swamp which leads up to
the bridge across the river at Fergu
son, S. C., and found both of these
crossings to be prohibitive as to the
cost of construction compared with
the other sites.
Now this is not written to knock
any crossing upon the Santee river
and I do not wish to be misunder
stood, but in view of the fact that
other crossings are being named as
the most available place to cross the
Santee I feel it my duty to protect
Pinckney's landing and put it in its
proper place as to its being one of
the most logical points to cross the
Santee.
I would like to see a crossing at
all three places, namely, Pinckney's,
Miurray's and Lanneau's and am will
ing to do all I can as a citizen to help
each one of the projects out.
I have no interest in the matter
:ther than to see crossings upon the
river so that we can get to the west
nrn part of our State and to Charles
ton, our leading city.
I am working upon the Pinckney's
landing crossing an will give you
>ther facts and information in a few
lays relative to it. I believe the peo
ile want the crossing and I am going
