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.

A new line of manufacture i8 feedng
and watering pans for the dainty
chinchilla rabbits, the producing of 1
which seems to be a rapidly increaa- 1
?g business in York county and else-':
where. 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.

Competition?Dfad or Alive
St. Matthews has t^wo of the hust?
ingest colored undertaking estabishments
in the country. 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
