But to have one on your foot when frost comes and you can’t put a shoe on is another thing. For you are bound to hurt it at times. And to bump a stone bruise on a cold foot is agony of the first order. Our school house was away back in the woods from our house. I would never have made it, hobbling along using only the heel of that foot. So they took me in the road cart. Even the folks who had a bug gy had one of these carts too. For when roads got so bad that a horse couldn’t lug a buggy through, we could make it for a while longer in a two-wheel ed cart. A bog-hole had developed back there in the edge of the old field on the way to the school house, and it wasn’t sale to try it in a buggy. So they were taking us to school in the cart while my foot was sore. Otherwise w € would have walk ed. Our old Bill was a rather frac&ous horse and never liked to get in p tight place. He would hurry through such bad looking spots. One very cold morning he bounced us some thing awful, as he tore through that boggy place. It was froz en hard and the bouncing caused a spring clamp to come off the hook on the shaft. That let the seat drop down on the axle and bump us in the frozen mud. But we got enough . bruises to return home and missed school that day. And with that, we were able to mark the experience up as a success. In the past few years Clem son has been developing a cer amics department. That has to do, you know, with the use pf our clays and non-metallic minerals. South Carolina is one of the earth’s most fertile spots for fine clays a. .d other types of useful stuff that comes out of the ground. And we ship great quanutiee of it out for manu facture and industrial use. The fine clays of Aiken county are some of the best and most plentiful in the world. Rail roads have been built to many of the mines there And for years carloads of their fine pro cessed ciays have gone into manufacturing processes in this and other countries. It is rather singular that, with all of these natural re sources, we as a state have done little to process and use them. Professor G. C. Robinson is in charge of this department of Clemson, In his laboratory 1 .ere he test many samples of clay and other minerals he has gathered over South Carolina. And the laboratory is working on uses for these materials. He already has an interesting story, and he can see great frontiers foy industry out yonder in the future from the 'minerals that lie beneath our soil. BIRTH OF A DAUGHTER Dr. and Mrs. Ralph P.
