The local community did the actual work of drainage. hi accordance with the plan submitted by the Department of Agriculture. The result was the reclamation and opening for settlement of many thousand acresI do not recall how many thousand acres--of the best land in the lower part of South Carolina. The land was divided into small farms of about 50 acres. I think. and immigrants from the East have come down there and purchased those farms and built up a truck business and established a splendid community where before there was nothing but underbrush and swamps and the like of that.
