Santee Canal
  
     We some now to the Santee Canal where it descends from its summit level by a lock known as Spear's from a Scotchman who was many years the keeper of the lock. The summit level extending about five miles from this point to Big Camp, is fed entirely from artificial ponds, depending upon rains for their supply of wa·er. Immedately after crossing the canal we intercept one of the principal roads to Pineville, and are in sight of Wilton.
