Hog Rock kaolinite mines and narrow-gauge railroad recalled as exporters to New York and England

William L. Crawford recounted the presence of kaolinite mining near Little Savannah Creek, saying the local deposit ("the Hog Rock Mines") produced clay shipped to New York and England to make fine china. He attributed the land donation for the courthouse to "mister CJ Harris" and described a narrow-gauge railroad that moved clay from the mine to wider rail connections for export.

Crawford also described the physical landmark called Hog Rock and explained how the place got its name from hogs sheltering under the rock. He tied the mine to the countys early industrial geography and to photographs and reminiscences he preserves.
