THE 1TLAITA SUIDAY HEHALD. VOL. II—NO. 47. ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 18713. WHOLE NO. J341 TREASURER JOHN JONES' His 3Iiiul Pretty Plainly. Some Glowing Words. The process of mining is to bore or dig a j bole of about six feet in diameter in the side of the mountain. Alter going about ten feet j coal is struck, and then radiating to the right and left large chambers are dug out or exca- 1 vated sometimes three and four acres in | extent, with mountains of rock above and \ntpfl WtM'ilks below. Whenever in digging soft or broken rock is found the chambers are heavily tim- | bered above to prevent caving in. The labor of mining is great, and the work a very dan gerous one. Each man works ten hours per da}*, and is paid four cents a bnshel for min ing the coal. Tbo average quantity dug by each man is about seventy-live bushels per day. Their work is carried cn exclusively ! under ground, with no other light than that shed from a little coffee pot shaped lamp that To the Editors of the Herald : each man wears on his cap.

Out of the the part of the people of Georgia, when we 8llm paid to their operatives each company gets a large return from their “supply stores” that generally sell the operatives largely at a big profit. There are about fifty Welchmen employed here. The first cost of a ton of coal may be summed up as follows: 25 bushel* at one cent royalty $ 25 25 bushels at four cents for digging i Timber, expense of loading, etc. per bn* tel 66 Trot ’Em Out! 99 THE FRANKLIN STEAM PRINTING HOUSE) ■ SEVEN STEAM POWER PRESSES!

Heaven help the poverty-stricken souls that coaid be seduced, even by the base spirit of miftnmon, into such a grovelling, huckstering merchandise. If there is any sin, civilly speaking, which is the one unpardona ble offense, the sin unto death, this surely is the one. And yet, business men (bless the mark !)—men hoping that their trade iu Geor gia, and on Georgia, will make them princes among the sons of the soil—have set them selves deliberately to work to strand the credit of the State, that they, like the bandit wrecker, may be enriched by what floats to shore.
