Plans to corner Catawba Wateree power assets
Rumors claim Dr Gill Wylie of New York leads a push with the Dukes to secure water power along the Catawba river. WS Lee bought Wateree River Electric rights west of Camden for 125000 to 150000, giving control to a power complex centered near Camden. The deal links Camden, Columbia, Lancaster, Kershaw, Sumter, Winnsboro and Charlotte area markets with a network of river powers and massive capital, hinting at a large regional power development effort led by the Catawba Power Company and allied interests with the Dukes.
