They organized under the name of the Imperial Kaolin Company and elected the folio wing officers: George A. Wagener, president; Rudolph Siegiing, George A Wagenor, D. H. Salley, A. S. J. Perry and Mike Brown, directors. The kaolin that these gentlemen propose to mine lies in Aiken county, along tlie line of the proposed Black ville, Alston and Newberry road, which is finished from Blackville to Salleys, a distance of seventeen miles. Tlie road is now being graded from Salleys upward. The mining towy will be called Sievern.
