THE CLAY THAT Is EATEN
Mined in the Hookworm Country and
Used Mostly In Papermaking.

Those who are used only to the red clay
OF New Jersey and Pennsylvania and the
brown clay OF New York have been little
puzzled over the designation of some OF the
victims Of hookworm as clay eaters.
In the Carolinas and Eastern Tennessee
there are beds of pure white clay. as white
as flour, and II is this sort Of clay that is
utilized for chewing. This clay is In small
deposits throughout all South Carolina. but
only the deposits in the .neighborhood OF
Aiken and Langley are sufficient in extent,
depth and quality TO be commercially valu-
able.
These beds lie anywhere from ten to
thirty feet under the surface and are
worked by side cuts The earth is first re
moved from above S large surface is
desired, and then the wall OF clay is at
lacked from the side. an entrance having
been cut from some ada ent valley, so
that The mining s really done in an open
cut, and mines that have been worked for
years are finally nothing but enormous
white holes or excavations.
The clay is dug out by negroes with picks
and as the pieces fall other negroes with
knives trim off the pieces cutting out the
traces OF iron stain. II Is then loaded on
cars and hauled to a drying shed. Imagine
the surface of the earth in amphithea-
tire, the walls Of which are pure white, with
Southern sun glitterinS overhead.
This clay is soft in texture and without
grit. and when dried out and powdered
looks not unlike tooth powder The beds
are located by means of borings with gi-
ant auger. One man in Aiken spent three
months in the woods boring holes before he
located bed. but he finally successful.
Another bought an undeveloped bed simply
from inspection Of the borngs for 81 800,
and sold it in three months for s. 90. after
spending perhaps $500 in opening a side
shaft From that bed taken in three
Years over 10000 worth OF clay.
All thu. product Is not consumed by the
patrons OF the hookworm. Some of il is
used mixed with other material In the
making of melting pots ny makers Of high
tempered steel implements, but the bulk Of
