THE MAKING OF POTTERY York County Industry That It* Grow- < ing U> Goodly Proportion* , Ihe making of pottery from clay in ' one of the oldest arts practiced by ' mankind. Pottery and the pottery ' kick wheel and potter's clay are , frequently mentioned in the Old Testament. Upon the walla of Egyption ' tombs are pictured the processes of i making pottery. There are pictures 1 of the potter's wheel and the furnace in which the vases, jars and jugs were burned. And strange to say the 1 methods of making pottery today are 1 losely akin to the methods used in ' the days of the Pharaohs. You may not be aware of the fact ! and again you may be, that in YorK ounty there is n pottery plant that is making quite a reputation and is ' developing a business of goodly pro- ! portions without being pushed to u very great extent'yet. It is well ' known that the Oatawba Indians, at their reservation in the Itiver Bend section of Catawba township, have long been making pottery and are yet, but the volume of their makings is , indeed very small, but even that may be the germ of the idea from which this growing pottery plant just mentioned has sprung, About two and a half years ago John E. Glasscock, Leslie merchant and farmer, in partnership with a : friend under the name of the G. & B. company, began in a small way to make the more common varieties of pottery, such a flower pots, jugs and milk jars. The business was developed slowly. They had considerable trouble in finding a clay that was just exactly suited for making pottery of sorts. In time they did discover clays that could be used and the making of pottery grew in proportion and as kinks of making the ware became better understood the variety of products expanded and Mr. Glasscock went out to sell his goods. However, it developed slowly. The wares were not exactly perfect. Defective ware made the perfects expensive. But nothing daunted Mr. Glasscock. He kept working on the problem, hunting the right clay and seeking other secrets of the potter's art. Success came slowly, but it was op the way. After a time the partner withdrew from the business and Mr. Glasscock was fortunate enough to be able to employ a really experienced commercial potter who knew the business because of long experience in practically every big pottery factory in the United** States. This man is Mr. George Flesherr of Illinois^- close?onto his three score years and ten, but a worker who can give the average man of many less years cards and spades and bet him on the goal line any day. A visit to Mr. Glasscock's pottery factory, if one calls it a factory, i3 worth the time any day, even if one has no particular desire to purchase wares of this kind. The visit will be educational, at least. " Outside and inside of the GiasscocK store there is a big display of pottery. Some pf it is plain and some of H is painted in colors. There are small jars and big jnrs and jars in between. Jars for decorative purposes, such as the ladies turn into beautiful porch and hall ornaments in.the many ways that ingenious ladies have of doing " Ann AYft* a.rn shaped jarg and jugs and earthen vases of almost every conceivable sise and shape. Then there are bird houses?houses for martins such' as sometimes are seen making their homes around farm houses and houses for the pretty and saucy little Jennie Wren. The two birds must have their houses a little different architecturally, although the same in general lines. The martin wants his front door right down at the bottom on the level of the street, so to speak* while Jennie Wren wants her front door set up high almost in the eaves and it mustn't be larger than the circumference of a quarter dollar. A novelty to be seen is a Mexican water jug, same size and shape as the Mexicans use for water to drink. They fill their jugs with "aqua and then hang them in trees to keep cool. Then, perhaps, it ought not to t>e mentioned, but the potter on a special order tried to make a jar especially for home-brew making, but did not get that one just exactly as the customer wanted, it.

These are shallow pan-like < i*r* about six or seven inches in dia- i meter, a couple of inches deep, and 11 *?ve a rim on the inside at the top 1 to that the rabbit in eating won't i pull out his alfalfa hay and scatter 1 it over the fhsor of his hutch. t The potter wus taking a day off 4 Tuesday, but anyway the reporter 1 was shown the plant, which hasn't a 1 fieat deal of machinery for the mak- 1 mg of pottery. There is a machine ^ for the grinding of the clay to proper :onsistency for woricing. Incidentally the clay that is being used now < :omes. from down in the lower reach- ? of Catawba township a couple of 1 miles back from the river. Then 1 there is a machine for the proper ? mixing of the clay with a chalky sub- < stance ^hat is found down near Cam- < den and then there is the potter's ' wheel, that so far as one can see is i very much the same as the wheels 1 used in the time when Egypt was < the center of the world's progress. ' I After the potter turns out the ? wares he is making into the shapes 1 that he wants the wet products are ' set on tables to dry out a bit or a 1 good bit before being placed in the big kiln about 12xl8x<3 feet, for burn- 1 ing. To produce ware without cracks has always been a problem with the potter and is yet. To overcome the tendency of the clay to crack in the drying process and later in the burnthere is added to the clay a good percentage of this chalky substance and if added in just the right proportions the ware at the Glasscock pottery comes out of the kiln without cracks and cracks do not show up in *he cooling process, which is just as important and has to be done almost as carefully as does the burning of the earthenware to harden it. 1 The burning kiln holds about 1,800 pieces of ware, one piece piled up on another from earthen floor to brick arched ceiling. At the back is the having also been walled up with made by the three and a half cords of pine wood used to burn the kiln from start to finish. After the 1,800 pieces of ware are all stacked up thgie is a wall of brick made out of the same clay as the pottery, built up in front of the ware and some four or five feet back from the door and up to* within a foot of the kiln's top. In the afternoon a light fir? is* started in the kiln, the front door chimney that carries awny brick leaving an aperture of only a foot or so. This light fire is kept going slowly until about 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. Then the fire is made a little hotter and kept so for several hours. The kiln is being gradually pre-heated. When the heat is believed to be right in the kiln, then the fire is started to the real burning stage. It must be kept hot then and must continue for 14 hours to?properly bum tho pottery. Then it is left to cool off gradually very slowly. Too fast cooling would crack the ware all to pieces and the labor would be lost. In time it cools down to the right tempera-ture and then comes the work of unloading the ware,Ih&peci tng it, throwing out the few defects, sorting and storing and the pottery..Jn itSLmany. sires and shapes is ready for sale. Of course Mr. Glasscock sells considerable quantities of flower pots, milk jars, jugs, etc., to merchants here and there and this takes much of hig product. A growing line of business, however,' is the sales of fancy jars, jugs, pots, etc., to tourists who travel up and dowij No. B, as they are passing to fend fromv Camden and other points North and^'South. 'The tourists see the ware in front of the store and stopping to look it over almost invariably purchase a few pieces. Yes, York county has a pottery plant that is steadily growing and some day no doubt will be considered one of the^jgally important industries of the Here's hoping.?A. M. Grist in tne Yorkville Enquirer. Clarence Broom was drowned while trying to save Jimmy Norman from drowning in the Catawba river east of Fort Mill, Saturday afternoon. The Norman boy, only 11 years old, stepped into a hole and wag strfehgled. Broom, 22 years old and a bridegroom of ? month,- went in to get the little boy out, but the latter got strangle hold on him, and both^went down, in sight of several other swimmers on an outing, one of whom was Broom's sister-in-law. The bodies were found soon after by a rescue party from Fort MiU. Broom is the son of Wilce j Broom, and both boys lived: in the panhandle of JLancast#r county.

Not many years ago, it was common to see a 'Upket on the way to the graveyard A a buggy, wagon or plain automobile. All ride now in a qejit w&rse. Even the poorest are put tway in good style. This results from a most unique custom. From he cradle to the grave a small insurance policy is practically universal. Occasionally a petition cireuates to help bury poor whites, but rarely for the blacks. They are invariably prepared for the last ride. For this reason, the business ieoms.to be pretty safe for the unlertaker. At least they go after it, is if in sight of a gold mine. Competition, from all reports, is keen, ;hough in the best of feelings. There ire said to be strikers on both sides 5f the fence. A recent case was interesting. As the story goes, the wife of u prominent brother died ruther suddenly. One of the undertakers, with a crumb or two of encouragement, got in promptly on the ground floor, and sent up a stretcher for laying out the dead body. It used to be called the "cooling board," but more aesthetic now. In the meantime, the ^strikers, though some-1 what belated in the chase, from the1 opposite camp got busy. The result wus that the first stretcher was staked up in a corner, and supplanted by one from the other stronghold. As additional evidence of the acute and alert rivalry, it is common for the local registrar to record in undertaker, and in a few hours, or the next day, a request for a change. It can truthfully be said that business is always brisk in the colored I ~~ 'undertaking lineup of St. Matthew-, which means, now, most of the eounI ty.-?-Calhoun Times.
