NEW MEMBER BOABD OF EDUCA
. i TION - ?
The following Is sopled from a
communication relelvejl by the Editor
this week and is published with sin
sere appreciation :
In the passing of Capt. A. W. Perry
Franklin County has lost a splendid
citizen. The County Board of Edu
" cation has lost not only its Chairman
but one of its strongest forces and the
school children of the County have
lost a friend who at all times has stood
for their best Interests. In i he choice
of a successor, tie members of the
General Assembly hare been most
happy In their selection of Mr. A. P.
Johnson, the Editor of the Franklin
Times. Mr. Johnson- has never tall
? ^ b*"" **'? *""" *""1 hl*' "'P"'" ln
fluence to the betterment of the edu
cational interests of the County and
yet he brings to this position a conser
vatiam which should be a guarantee
of economy. We understand that Mr.
Johnson was the unanimous choice of
the Executive Committees of both of
the Townships comprising his School
Board District and his selection as
Chairman by the County Board of
Education, at Its first meeting after
his appointment as a member of that
body, was a well deserved compliment
and evidence of confidence*.

COAL AND COAL MINES
(By Mattie Glasgow)
Coal is a carbonacious mineral of a
black, shiny or dull color and used
extensively (or fuel. It is composed
of about 75 per cent of carbon and
-contains hydrogen, oxeygen and a
small per cent of nitrogen and small
Quantities of earthly Impurities. In
many coal fields there are from one
to four veins with a thickness of from
two to fifty feet. "m
The method of mining differs with
the thickness of viens, the class of coal
and the character of roof or rocky
formation covering the deposits. In
many localities the vein erope out at
the hill sides and the coal may be eas
ily secured.
Coal was not known to the early an
cients. It appears to have been used
in 852 A. D. in England, but was not
