The name kaolin is said to be
derived from a hill near Kingtih-
chin, in China, called Kaoling,
where the clay was first found in
considerable quantity. The kaolin
earth was first sent to Europe by a
Jesuit missionary of Kingtihchin
about 1875. A similar clay was soon
afterward found near Schneeberg,
Germany, and used in the manufac-
ture of porcelain, thus laying the
foundation Of the famous Dresden
ware. Kaolin is found in Nebraska
and in some Of the eastern states.

ENLARGEMENT Of Shops
And Railroad Yards
Vice-P President Parrot Conferred With
Board Of Trade Committee

Several weeks ago, the Fort Pierce
Board of Trade discussed the matter Of
the improvement OF the railway shops
and extension of their holdings at this
place. This body appointed commit
tee to confer with the management Of
the road and assure them that the nee
essary lands for the extension could be
had at reasonable figure, and to as
certain If possible how much would be
needed by the railroad company.
This committee from the Board of
Trade was composed OF Judge A. d.
Penney, president of the board, and
Judge Otis r. Parker, and on last
Thursday, the above gentlemen, with
Mayor r. Whyte and Lucien Baker,
met Mr.. j. r, Parrott, vice-president
and general manager Of the Florida
East Coast railway, during his short
stop here, and conferred with him on
the matter,
Mr.. Parrott gave out nothing of q
definite nature but talked freely on the
subject and his views were encouraging
to a certain extent to Fort Pierce. He
stated in answer to questions by the
gentlemen that at present no change
would be made, and in fact, not until
after the election, and possibly until
after the meeting of congress he as
sured the committee that when the
time was ripe the proposed improve
ments would come and would be on
large scale
The. rumors to the effect that the
shops and division point would be To-
Gated elsewhere were still persistent,
and caused the committee to ask Mr..
PARROT, direct, It there was any point
that had the preference over Fort
Pierce or if they contemplated any
move of that kind. His answer to that
was, that Fort Pierce was preferred by
them to any other place, and that, hav-
ing considerable money already invest
ed here, they had no intention Of aban-
doning their holdings. he also inti-
mated that the Key West extension
work was claiming all their attention
at present, and until that was finished
nothing definite would be done in the
matter under discussion.
1t is probable that meeting OF the
Board of Trade will be called by Pres
ident Penney to report on the CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Parrott.

We beg to report having visited,
through our committee, the Fort Pierce
Grammar and High School, finding the
class room arrangements ID good order
and presided over by an efficient corps
of teachers.
A congested condition was observed
10 some OF the rooms. owing to an ex.
traordinary influx Of pupils this term.
This Is being provided for by the SUI
perintendent, and will not long exist.
The playground was found to be entire
ly inadequate Tor such large school,
and in such proximity to dangerous
marsh and pond that we strongly rec
ommend immediate action by the Board
of Education toward It's improvement.
In the opinion Of the jury, the pond
should be filled and levelled and the en-
tire grounds properly fenced, as mea'
sure Of safety for the pupil.
The books and accounts OF superin'
tendent and treasurer were inspected
and It was found that on the termina.
ton Of the last school year, July !, the
school debt OF the county was s4,V69.eS'
upon which 8 per cent interest is being
paid This amount has materially In
creased since that date and is still in
creasing with the demand for more ana
larger school buildings.
The 7-mill levy for the current year
will barely meet the expenses, ana we
strongly recommend the levy OF a spe-
! cial school tax for the payment OF sal
aries etc., as provided by Law, permit.

fund to the liquidation Of this debt, !
A raise Of 8 mills for one year and 2

vide a sufficient sum.
