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.
