Wateree River drainage plan as a state wealth boost
The Camden Journal advocates an English backed scheme to straighten the Wateree River by cutting through minor specks and draining swamps to prevent freshets. It argues a straight channel would unlock vast lands, create an immense agricultural wealth, and nearly double South Carolina’s wealth with minimal cost. It cites Dr. E. M. Boykin and a DeBow’s Review copy, and urges surveying and cost counting to proceed.
