Rome Tribune: A mountain on Taylors
ridge in Chattooga county has been found
to contain a deposit of kaolin of the purest
white and perfeclyt free from grit and any
coloring whatever. The deposit is several
miles in length, and only about three miles
from the railroad. The side of the noun
tain is said to be nearly all kaolin. The
discovery was made week ago, and speci-
mems were at o ce mailed to N. Fl. Bass of
this city Mr. Bass saw at once that they
were of the purest quality, and sent some
Of ttem to the celebrated china potteries of
Haviland. An opinion has not been re-
ceived from there as yet but an answer is
expected every day. When asked about
the kaoin bed, Mr.. Bass said there
was no doubt of it being the very purest
quality, and entirely free from any sub
stance that will prevent the manufac-
ture of the very finest china. Taylor's
Ridge is only few miles from
Rome, and potteries for the production of a
very fine quality of china are likely to be
established there or at this place at an early
date.
The Atlanta car works already have
more orders than they can fill. A big order
had to be declined because the cars WEI
wanted within ninety days. Orders for
street cars are in, and before the summer is
over Atlanta made cars will be on the

electric cars equal to any in America, or
Europe either, for that matter. One in
quiry shows the tremendous volume Of the
fruit and truck business done in Georgia.
A transportation company in the southern
part of the state wants 800 to 1000 re-
frigerator cars. Here alone is an invest
ment of $750,OO0 to move the fruit and
vegetable crop, not to speak of the ventila-
tors the Georgia road will put on &c
move watermelons. Patrick Calhoun says
the Central and other lines he is interested
in will largely increase their rolling stock
and general facilities. Such demand for
cars was never before known in the history
of the country. The railroads, not being
able TO get cars made as fast as they need
them, have largely listed the cars Of outside
corporations known as chr trusts, paying a
moderate mile ge in order TO handle bust
ness for which their own rolling stock was
not adequate.
