Maybe the Industry which was stopped by the American Revoln- tiea has posslbilltleo yet In South Carolina." Sam Latimer, publisher and edi tor of the Columbia State, discusses recent comment of Mr. Sileaxer in his column, "Seen Along the Road side", relative to Kershaw county mud going to 46 states during the past year. Mr. Eieaxer’s comment was as fol lows; “ ‘Kershaw county mud has gone to 45 states the past year’, said Guy Daugherty, the potter by the roadside near Bethune, when I stopped to watch him ply his an cient art the other day. Dr. Poole tells me that a course in ceramics (work with baked clay) is being put in at Clemson." Mr. Latimer goes on to comment as follows; “To say we are glad Clemson Is paying attention to ceramics. Five- sixth of the kaolin used oommer- clally in the United States during the last year of available statistics came from South Carolina a^d Georgia, yet there Is not a large ceramics Industry in our state. "And also to quote Interesting In formation about Kershaw day from Kirkland and Kennedy's 'Historic Camden’ showing that the quality of our clay was recognised many years ago by the experts. "This is what the authors of the history of Camden have to say "In 1766—Jervis, in his ‘Ceramics’ states that as early as 1766, day was exported to England from South Carolina and was quite exten sively used by Wedgwood and other potters. ’Mr. Lloyd’ of Char leston sasrs he ‘sent a bag of porce lain earth from the Cherokee coun try to the Bari'of Hyndford, who deputised Mr. Ooldney, a vary ser ious genUemaa, to make experi ments <m the prlndple of Chinese porcelain.’ ‘‘This was evidently John Lloyd, a brother-in-law of Richard (Ru^ plon, one oC the great England pot ters. who, at Mr. Lloyd’s instiga tion. settled in Kershaw county fit 1784 with-tke view mwsumahly to the utilisatioh of the anperloi^ pe^ tery clay found near .-C^indeii, though he does not seem to have carried such ideas into effect. "That experiment had been made with the Camden clay is evident from the letter of Joslah Wedg wood, his patron, to Sir W. Mere dith, 176$; ’Permit me to mmitlon the subject of a public nature which greatly alarms ns (the Staffordshire potters). The bulk of our manu factures we export to the continent and Islands of America. We send them an smasing quantt^. our own consumption in comparison Is very trlfUng. We are iqtprehenslve of losing this trade, as pot wm'ks are set on foot in Ciarollna (Bartlam, at Camden), and they are this time hiring a number of our hands for the esUblishment of these same works. They have every material there equal, is not superior, to our own for carrying on tills manuCse- ture.’ "Jervis says further that Wedg wood sent out an agent hy the nasse of Griffiths, under heavy bond, who shipped him much clay from the neighborhood of Camden. The Revo lution. says he, pint a stop to all fear -of this threatening competi tion. "If Camden clay was good enough for Wedgwood almost 200 yean ago. Isn’t It Just as good today? Maybe the industry which was stopped by the American Revolu tion has possibilities yet In South Carolina. But even If It hasn’t, the Wedgwood incident is Intereetiag.’’ Poland’s Civil Aviation depart ment has announced plans for reg ular scheduled afar service within Poland and with foreign countries. tile emperor was a his suhlects ^ V ftceT^^ Abound 10 4s, .
