Porcelain and Chivaware Factory.
From the News Observer we learn:
'Mr. T. C. Harris, of the State Mu
seum, has received letters from a cap
italist, making inqui ies us to the de
posits and quality of kaolin which is
extensive'y found in this State. Kao
lin is disintegrated feldspar, and is
generally known a3 china clay, being
the material from which china-ware is
manufactured. It appears to be the
purpose of the party from whom the
letters were received to establish a
china-ware factory in this State pro
vided deposits of kaolin sufficient to
supply a large demand can be found.
There is not now a china-ware factory
in the United States and the industry
would be one of enormous tirofit in
any part of this country. Th'N
quality .-or k.oojj:i js -ioun-1 ie
the western counties and it is said it 1
exists in 1 ,rge quantities. There is
an old historic statement that the first
thing ever exported from the colonies
was kaolin taken from the vicinity of
Macon county. It was packed in
boxes and Indians carried it on their
backs from the mountains to the
coast from where it was shipped to
the east, and was used in making the
finest porce'ain and chinaware. In
answer to the letters samples of seven
different kinds of kaolin were for
warded to the writer and all known
facts in con-ieetion with tha mineral
in this State furnished. The best
quality found iu America is probably
found in North Carolina."
In Macon Jackson, and other west
ern counties, and we learn also near
Ashevillc, arc inexhaustible deposits
of the finest kaolin in the world.
Some of the Jackson kaolin has been
s -ut to Xew Jersey works, and there
t ronounced superb. Mrs. Jarvis,
wife of Minister Jarvis, has a tea-set
made of North Carolina kaojin which
could not be told from the finest
Sevres chiua. We do not remember
from whence the clay was obtained,
but it certainly worked up elegantly.
We have seen small sample-plates
made of the Jackson clay, which were
very fine and elegant. Ve believe a
frctory for the making of porcelain
and china-ware established in this sec
tion would not only do well, but
would certainly secure all the kaolin
wanted.

small amounts, were promptly paid in,
it could and would do several times that
amount of good by being promptly dis
tributed, besides enabling our business
to be conducted upon a more profitable
and satisfactory basis to the public. Such
payments make business more stable,
and actually stimulates business and en

Another Horrible Collision in English
Waters.
By tlxrai to tin Aihaville Oitizea
London, Nov. 21. Two bodies,
victims of the sinking of the steam
er W. A. Scholton by colliding with
the jjteamer Rosa Mary, have floated
ashore at Deal. Tnere is no doubt
that Captain Toat went down with
his vessel. Mr. Robinson one of
the passengers saved slated b a re
po:"ter that the TF. A-l t'cholion had
jusr. weighed anchor, when tha col
lision, occured. There were oight
hundred life belta on board anil
most of the passengers were suplied
with tnarxi but they proved useless
in a majority of cases as people wero
ingulfed with the ship. The steam
er's decks burst when she was foun
dering. The sunken vessel lies in
twenty fathoms1 of water. Survi
vors will sail for New York Wedncs
i day.

On of the survivors is named Rol
ne. There is another surviver in
the hospital whose name is not
knewn. Uhiet HiDgineer laixiaven
was landed at. Seaford yeaterday
morning. No more ladies have
been recovered here. It is the uni
versal feeling that the fault of the
collision rests with the steamer
Rosa Mary. Chief Mate Wells ot
that versel states she left Hartlepool
on Friday in command of Capt.
Webster iuid with a crew of sixteen
men. On the night of the collibion
there was a shifting log ; sometimes
it was dense while at . intervals it
was clear. At about 8:30 o'clock,
j lie tays, the collision occured. We
i hsd bren at anchor since S o'clock.
Mysell and Captain were on the
bridge. The sea was of the calmest.
Our lights were burning bright and
fog bell sounding constantly.
I first saw colliding steamer off

steamer soon jjointed her helm and
attempted to cross o".r bows. The
tide, however, not being rightly
judged settled the vessel on our
bows cutting her to water's edgf. I
can't say whether it was th V A
Scholton that r i iiiucd with us.
