FINE CHINA WARE MADE BY CLAY FROM GEORGIA
Atlanta, £ept. 10. —When the state chamber of commerce is
organized in Macon, shortly, Stale Geologist, S. W. McCalle, will
be present to demonstrate a proposition that will mean a great
deal for Georgia and perhaps specifically to macon.
At the quarterly meeting of the geological board this morning in
the governor's office, Prof. McCalle showed beautiful specimens of
chinaware made from Georgia clay, which is found in practically
inehaustile quantities in Twiggs county and other counties across
as far as Augusta.
The material was shipped to the Sebring company, of Scbring,
Ohio, which made exhaustive tests of the clay. The samples shown
by Prof. McCalle today equal the chinaware made anywhere.
The president of the Sebring company was very enthusiastic in
his letter to Dr. McCallie. He said the clay was subjected to ex
tremely severe tests and showed wonderful plastichy, hardness and
translucency.
Dr. McCalle says one of the finest deposits of the clay in his
knowledge is to be found within twenty miles of Macon, and it
is his unbiased judgement that a large pottery located in the Cen
tral City would prove a paying enterprise.
For a time it was feared that sufficient quantities of feldspar,
necessary in the making of china, did not exist in this state, but
investigation has revealed enormous quantities.
Governor Slaton and other state house officials were very enthu
siastic over the idea, after seeing the beautiful china, and it was
predicted that in a few years Georgia would be shipping china to
all parts of the word.—Macon Telegraph.
This clay deposit is in the territory of the Cochran and ('ary
Railroad and will he a very valuable asset to this line when it is
completed. Now that the business season has opened up and
money is easy, we would like very much to hear that operations
will soon begin on this road.
While the Macon papers are issuing large trade editions ad
vertising Macon’s enterprises and resources and the merchants of
the Central City are spending thousands of dollars to attract trade
to Macon, setting forth attractive allurements to bargain hunters,
it behooves our merchants to get on to the job and keep our trade
at home. Every loyal citizen of Cochran and Bleckley county
should first consider his home merchant before spending money
abroad, where he will never see it again. If our merchants will let
the tra r) e know what they have to sell by keeping it constantly be
fore them, the trade will soon find out it will not be necessary to
go to other cities to buy supplies, Our merchants can supply your
demands just as well, and give you equally as good prices as Macon
merchants, It is business to trade at home and keep your money
circulating here.
Every dollar you spend at home you are doing that much for
the upbuilding of your town. Every dollar that you send away
you are withdrawing just that much support from your town. An
up to date City is making every effort to draw trade from other
points, and her citizens co-operate towards this end instead of flock
ing to other cities to spend their surplus coin.
We venture to say, that if there was a strict account kept of
every dollar that was spent outside of Cochran by our citizens the
amount would be so large that the average citizen would not be
lieve it. Is it not really our duty, as citizens looking forward to
the welfare of our community to first give the home man a chance
before you spend your money with some one who has no interest
whatever in our community?
The forty page trade edition of the old reliable Macon Tele
graph shows that this old Georgia Newspaper has lost none of her
vigor or enterprise, The Telegraph is one of the oldest papers in
the state and has fought many hard battles for the moral, intellec
tual and industrial welfare of Macon and the state at large. When
it comes to booster editions this paper can vie with any of the
metropolitan dailies. Macon is making wonderful strides and dis
playing unusual enterprise and no one deserves more credit for this
than her two w'ide awake daily papers.
