8 the entire rice crop, just ready for harvesting, had been swept away, not one bushel of rice having been gathered and the fields being as bare as a well-traveled highway. DAMAGE ON THE SOUTH SANTEE. Take another river, the south branch of the Santee, into which flow the waters of the Broad, the Saluda, and the Catawba, all of which have their sources in theso mountains. The South Santee, like the Savannah, was noted for its splendid rice plantations, cultivated in the most expensive and scientific manner, and yielding annually the most bountiful harvests. For years past the same process has been going on as on the Savannah, and all from the same cause, until there is now not one plantation under cultivation. During a recent visit there I was told by a planter that during the last season the small area planted by him had been covered by no less than 13 distinct freshets of greater or less force, making it absolutely impossible for him to make a crop. RICE FIELDS AS SEEN BY WASHINGTON. More than a century ago these rice plantations, now in ruin, attracted the wonder and admiration of the foremost man of his times, and, withal, a great farmer. In Mrs. Ravenel's Life and Times of William Lowndes is found the following: When General Washington visited the State in 1791 he crossed in hi3 journey all the large rice rivers from the Waccamaw to the Savannah, and he expressed to Mr. Charles Pinckney, then governor, his admiration of what he saw. "He had no idea that the United States possessed such agricultural improvement as the tide lands showed." But all the rice fields that charmed the eye of Washington are not in a state of ruin to-day—by no means. It is only those lying on rivers that have their sources in the mountains. On the other rivers, those not reaching to the mountains, the cultivation of rice is as profitable as ever, a freshet never destroying a crop except when combined with an equinoctial gale which forces the salt water in from the ocean. The rule is that, as to rivers having their sources in the mountains, rice planting is substantially abandoned, while, as to the others, it is carried on as successfully as ever. The conclusion is irresistible that the source of the trouble is

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.
