“U Camden clay was good
enough tor Wedgewood almost 200
years ago Isn’t it just as good to
day? 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.’’

ment has announced plans for reg
