DAMAGE OS THE YADKIN AND OTHER RIVERS', During 1901 the May floods caused destruction along the valleys of the Yadkin, the Kanawha, and the upper tributaries of the Tennessee estimated at the enormous sum of $5,000,000, which, added to the damage during the summer and spring on other streams rising in this section, approximates the appalling total of $10,000,000. These figures are enough to stagger belief, and yet they do not include the damage done in the region about the mountains nor to the rice fields on the seacoast. While 1901 was a most disastrous year, yet similar losses to a less extent have been occurring for years past, and, as I will hereafter show, it is inevitable that if some such measure as this be not adopted, with each recurring year the damage will be greater and greater, just as in past years there has been a perceptible increase in the number and the destruction of these floods. DAMAGE ON THE SAVANNAH RIVER RICE FIELDS. This fact is clearly demonstrated by the conditions existing on the rice fields on the seacoast of South Carolina. Take, for example, the rice plantations on the South Carolina side of the Savannah River, which has its source in these mountains. Formerly they were most productive. The lands were exceedingly valuable. They were all cultivated in the most careful manner and yielded splendid returns. Whoever was so lucky as to own one of them was considered a rich man. What is their condition now? Many of them, including their elaborate and expensive systems of irrigation, have been substantiallj' abandoned, and the remainder generally show a loss at the end of the year instead of a profit. In the course of less than twenty years there has been a complete revolution from a state of great prosperity to one of utter prostration. What is the cause of all this? None other than freshets, all the time increasing in number and destructive power. In about the year 18871 visited these plantations after one of these overflows specially for the purpose of seeing their condition and ascertaining whether some remedy could not be applied, and I found that on eight of the most valuable plantations on the river 5208

William Elliott (1838-1907) was a South Carolina attorney and politician who served in the U.S. Congress. In this speech before Congress, printed by the Southern Appalachian Forest Reserve, Elliott speaks on behalf of the creation of a National Appalachian Forest Reserve. By May 1902, when this speech was made, the Congressional tide had turned from the creation of a national park to the creation of a national forest. Initiated by the Appalachian National Park Association, in 1903, the association changed its name to the Appalachian National Forest Reserve Association and disbanded in 1905.
