FARMS
AND
FOLKS
By J. M. Eleazer
One fall I carried a “stone
bruise on my foot into cold
weather.
Now, those things are bed
enough in warm weather. 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.
