Search of Raw Material Pronounces Clay In This Section

Fortunes may be mined out Of Un-

to find their old barren hills, worn
out for farming purposes, are worth
fabulous sums. Charlotte may again
refer with pride to Bakers or In

A Pennsylvania prospector, Mr.. c.

that the finest clay in the South. if
not in the United States of America.
is obtainable in Union county. He
left here Sunday for Philadelphia,
after making an extensive investi-

be one of the largest pottery concerns
in the world.
There isn't but one thing to mar
the picture. While our clay is un-
questionably of fine character,
there is some doubt in the mind of
Mr.. Hartford as to whether or not
the quantity is sufficient to justify
the manufacture of pottery on big
scale. He plans to come back to this
section to make further investiga-

supply of clay in certain favored Sec

Why Lloyd George
Watches Exchange

London, April Pa Lloyd George
has one great American interest. 1t
is the American exchange values.
The Premier, according to his most
intimate friends, turns to the finan-
ciaI page when he takes up his morn
ing newspaper and looks at the quo
tations for the English pound ster-
ling on the New York Stock Ex-
change.
Andrew Carnegie, the late steel
king. is primarily responsible for the
Premier's interest in American ex-
change, for under the will of Car
neg3e the Pritish Prime Minister re-
ceives an annuity of 10000 pounds,
but the annuity is in American dol
lars and therefore it's value in
British pounds fiuctuates with the
exchange market.
In 1921 the Prime Minister re-
ceived nearly 5000 pounds by virtue
of the Carnegie bequest, but since the
exchange has been rising this annuity
has been decreasing.
The Prime Minister is now faced
with the expense of building new
country home in Surrey and he has
also given orders to real estate
agents in London to keep watchful
eve for him for a town house in Lon
don, against the day when he gives
up his residence at Ten Downing
street.
Although the Premier and Dame
Margaret lead a quiet life in London,
life eat heavily into the salary which
David Lloyd George receives from
the British government, therefore the
state of American exchange is a ques-
ton of prime Importance in the
household at Ten Downing street
