OBITUARY
Mark Mars Hedrick

Mark Marrs Hedrick, son of Sam
uel G.. and Kate b. EHedrick, was
born, April 3rd., 1885 and died Sept.
22nd, 1902. In the life of this youth
was blended all the better qualities
of human nature seasoned with
grace. In his character was shown
great innocence and more than or
binary intelligence and loveliness of
disposition, that endered him TO his
parents and those who were closely
allied to hm by association. Being
a child of delicate health, he spent
most of his time at home, and thus
became the constant companion OF
has mother, who is sorely bereaved
by his death.
He took great interest in the build
ing of the new church at Concord,
and when | visited hlm just before
his death, he called for the amount
he had set part as his subscription,
and placing it in my hand and press
ed it showing pleasure. 1t afford him
great pleasure and satisfaction to do
what he could In bearing his part in
defraying the expense of the cree
ton OF the church. While 1t was not
as large as some other contributions,
felt 1t was larger owing to the
heartiness with which he gave. 1t

ALL"
Marrs, in his last moments, reach
ed out his hand, took his mothers and
kissed her with a smile. We exclaim,
oh the JOY of achristian in his death.
May this be the lot of the writer, and
the father and mother and brother
when we come to cross the last rive
to enter the great beyond.

Bramwell Budget.
Special Correspondence.

'fN~'Ns correspondence.
We are plesed to say that the con-
struction of our new depot is rapidly
going on. 1t will gratifying to the Bram-
well citizens, owing to the increase OF
business. Wealso have number of
business and resident houses going up
on main street.
A revival meeting is being held AT
the Baptist Church with good results.
There has been n goodly number of
conversions. G. a. Thompson Pastor
of the Baptist Church, has been con-
ducting the meeting.
Our new policeman Mr.. Mullens is i'll
with typhoid fever but is recovering
slowly.
Robt Bowen who has been very i'll
for some time, is reported to have con
sumption and is in n serious condition.
Mr.H. NJ. Bell, of this place, is ill and
said to have consumption.
Mr.. Jonathan Bowen died at his
home in Pennsylvania a few days ago.
Mr.. Bowen was President of the Booth
Bowen Coal & Coke Co., of Freeman
w. Va, and spent a great deal of his
time here. He has many friends who
mourn his loss.
Weaver & Bailey are trying to fur
nish the Bramwell people with books
and magazines, but ihe tendency for
literature has grown to such an extent
that it seems almost impossible to sup
ply the demand.
Miss Lula Bailey after finishing a
business course at Dodge's Business
College in Tazewen Va, has been spend
ing most Of her time at home and
among friends in Bramwell. Miss
Bailey says her course of instructions

highly.
Everything at the mines seems to be
in very quiet condition
Business in Bramwen is a little quiei
owing to the changes made by the
strikers.

anthracite from Carbonate by the
canal and the gravity railroad.
From this time on the trade rapidly
increased, canals and gravity roads
multiplied, only to be replaced by loco
motives on their advent One of the
first locomotives used in this country
was for the purpose of hauling anthra-
cite
The process of mining anthracite coal
consists of two methOds-stripping and
closed work. Stripping is the process
where the coal lies near the surface
of the ground as it does in many in
stances in the anthracite field. The
closed work is that done under ground
or at the bottom of a shaft Owing TO
the character of the deposits the room
and pillar system is employed When
the shaft cannot be placed so as to
reach inc lowest point Of The deposit
tn coal below is reached by inside or
blind shafts or inside slopes These
shafts, which are sometimes sunk to a
depth Of over 1000 feet, usually have
several compartments, one for the
pumpway and ladder, and two or more
for hosting A common size of the
hosting compartments is 7x12 feet.
The coal is brought to the bottom of
the shaftfrom the inside or blind shafts
by means Of small cars and in some in
stances sheet iron chutes, according TO
the inclination of the shaft, according
as the blind shaft slopes up or down
from the bottom of the shaft from the
surface.
Anthracite is mined with band rotary
drills and by black blasting powder.
Dynamite or giant powder is used for
T5ck work, sometimes for driving
gangways, and in some locations for
blasting coal itself where fire damp
necessitates a fameless explosive. The
mines are ventilated by rotary fans.
The law requires that each miner shall
be supplied with at least 200 cubic feet
of air per minute. Fire damp is preva-
lent in many of the anthracite shafts,
necessitating the use Of safety lamps
by the miners.
The cost of mining anthracite coal is
greater than the cost of mining btu
minous coal, and this cost does not end
when the coal is landed at the surface
of the mine. Anthracite as it comes
from the mine consists of Jumps of va
I rious sizes, and intermixed with these
Jumps is a mixture of rocks. These
Jumps must be broken and assorted
as to size before the anthracite is ready
for the market. since the economic use
of anthracite requires that the Jumps
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1901-1903, 1902-11-16

must be of as near uniform size as pos
sible, and as there is a greater demand
for the intermediate sizes. the larger
Jumps must be broken down to smaller
sizes This elaborate preparation
greatly Increases the cost of the coal.
Anthracite is prepared for market in
what is known as the coal breaker, a
large building, usually built of timber,
but sometimes of steel and iron. The
coal is broken up by machinery CON
sisting of toothed rolls, after which it
is screened in circular revolving
screens. The slate is picked out by
hand by boys and old men, who sit
along the chutes through which the
coal passes. AS far rs possible the
work of sorting sizes and picking out
impurities is done by machinery. AS
the illustration shows. the general plan
Is to sort the coal over inclined bars,
then to pass what goes through the
bars over revolving or shaking screens,
while what goes through goes directly
TO the loading bins. or else is broken
up into smaller sizes by rolls and then
separated into the various sizes by
screens. The capacity of the average
breaker is from 1000 to 1000 tons of
coal day.
The tendency of recent years has
been to use more of the smaller sizes
of anthracite. and consequently the
breaking has been done with this end
in view.
