HISTORY OF COAL MINING.
(Continued from Page Three)
mostly because Peter Evans raised!
com enough on his river bottom plan- 1
tations to feed the entire section.
But he little dreamed of the wealth
that was underneath the earth and'
the millions of dollars that yet
be taken from it. Nobody pretends'
to think that the field is going to riv- !
al the great coal areas of the North !
and Middle West, but there is enough
coal there to supply a railroad or two
and there is an advantage of $3.50 j
in freight rates that will make pos-1
sible a reasonable profit to the opera
tors.
Neither of the companies is asking 1
for anything more than to be let*
alone. They have no stock selling |
scheme, and from the wav the field i
is being developed, it is unlikely that
any such eventuality will come out
of the field. They have discovered no
oil wells, although they occasionally
strike an oil-bearing shale. They have
gone at it on a business-like scale.
Whether the old iron mines will
ever be re-opened and car wheels and
rifles be manufactured there again,
whether te river will ever be cleared
of its fish traps and made LSVigaole
by the Governor 1 ambitious scheme,
or whether the gold of the Uwarrie
will ever aagin tempt the fortune hun
ter, Deep River has its mines, and just
the going down in one of them pro
vides the layman with about as keen
a thrill as he need want.
-THOUGHT THEY WERE BLIND—
How a Pittsboro Joker Played It on
Two Farmers.
By Rambler.
“They” tell a good one on our
friends, Willie Ward and Dock Gun
ter. “They” do say that Willie and
Dock came over to Pittsboro a few
nights ago on a visit to a friend who
had kindly invited them. And “they”
do say that the friend had gathered
into the fold a quart of mountain
dew, not Hickory Mountain.
Now everybody that knows Mr.
Ward and Mr. Gunter know T that they
are almost total abstainers from the
ardent, but not to disappoint the
friend they did partake of a drink or
two and probably several more.
Now this friend of the two is quite
a joker. For some time the three
sat and talked farming, because the
two visitors are first class farmers,
and they talked city talk, because the
hostess is a city man.
When things began to get mellow
the joker excused himself, leaving
Willie and Dock to talk politics. JLu
a few minutes after mine host had
gone out the electric lights gradually
became dim. Then they went out en
tirely, leaving the two men in the
dark.
“What’s the matter with my eyes,”
asked Mr. Ward, “I can’t see a wink.”
“Something's got wrong with mine,”
said Mr. Gunter.
“Wonder if that is wood alcohol we
are drinking,” asked Mr. Ward.
“I ’spect it is,” replied Mr. Gunter.
“Where is John gone?” asked Mr.
Ward. “He’d better send for the doc
tor. I am blind as a bat.”
“So am I,” replied Mr. Gunter.
Just them the joker came in and the
two stricken qjid blind men began to
moan their fate to him. The thoughts
of being blind the balance of their life
almost paralyzed them.
“Get a doctor quick, John,” said
Mr. Ward.
“Yes, get him as quick as you can,”
replied Mr. Gunter.
John went out and in a few min
utes Dr. Chapin came rushing in. The
house was all dark, but he could hear
moans and groans of Mr. Ward and
Mr. Gunter.
“Oh, Lord,” cried Mr. Ward and Mr.
Gunter together, “save my eye-sight
and we’ll never drink another drop.”
Just then the lights were turned
on. There stood Dr. Chapin, his mouth
full of handkerchief and John near
the door with a grin on his face that
would have thrown the Pittsboro fast
express from the track if it had hit
it, and there stood Mr. Ward and Mr.
Gunter in another nart of the room,
wondering what had hit ’em.
<r Doggone it,” said Mr. Ward,
“What’s the matter with you all. Are
you drunk ? and what’s Dr. Chapin do
ing here?”* t
Os course Mr. Ward and Mr. Gun
ter did not feel Of course
they did not know that the lights had
been turned off and of course they
both enjoyed the joke after they had
been told all about it, but you had bet
ter not say anything to Mr. Ward or
Mr. Gunter about their being blind a
few minutes.
LEARN TO SWIM.
As a sport and recreational diver
sion there is no form of exercise more
conductive to physical development
more healthful or wholesome in ev
ery way, than is swimming.
I* r regardless of that, everyone
| should learn to swim, if for no other
rear-on than to add to his capactiy of!
i compliance with the “first law of na-|
t.-in which is self-preservation.
Every year thousands of persons in i
this col try diowii because unexpect-!
edly precipitated into water, or acci- !
dentally getting into water “over their |
heads,” they find themselves helpless,
and beyond the reach of companions j
able to assist them.
No person, boy or girl, man or wo-:
man, knows at what moment an occa-!
sion may arise when his or other hu
man life may depend upon his anility
to swim.

“Pittsboro has some very inquisi-'
tlve people”, remarked a citizen the
other day. “One half of them don't
know how the other half lives, and it
worries them considerably, and I’ll be
doggoned if they don’t find out if
there is any possible chanre.”

A Kenutcky mountain girl, crippled
with infantile paralysis, crawled on

the bones in her legs he made it pos

Airplane Passes Ov,er Town. j
An airplane passed over Pittsboro
last Saturday morning about 9:30
headed due north. It was several hun
dred feet high.
A negro boy, standing in a wag
on on the street watching the plane
remarked “You can’t fool me; dat’s
nothing but one of dem South Caro

one as it smoothly sailed through the
air.
