State Coal Output
Is Best Since 1o40

Garrett county's coal production
showed a marked increase during
1856 and helped to make the pro-
duction Of coal in Maryland dur
ing that year the highest since 1919.
The states tonnage of 647,4O9
was aided by that of Garrett coun-
ty which had 475,846 tons from both
deep and strip mines. Allegany
had 1868 tons.
Last year tonnage in the two
counties hit 623,9O5, of which 324,-
804 was from Garrett county and
199.1O2 from Allegany county.
The report shows that the min
ing Of fire clay in the two counties
was up. 90. 3S9 for 1856, and 57,434
in 1855.
However. employment in the two
counties showed slight decreases
in the mining industry Garrett
county's total dropped from 452 in
1855 to AL in 1856. Allegany's went
from 297 TO 1913. Nearly half of Gar
rett county's production Of patti
tons was from strip mines.
Machine mined coal totaled 1861
429 tons in this county Pick-mined
coal amounted to 78646.
There were no fatal accidents in
Maryland coal mines in 1856, for
the third year in a row.
The annual report revealed that
"a permits were issued to strip
mining operators under the terms
of the new law that went into eff
feet on June /, 1855.

By MARY F. BEST. KITTY HAWK, N. c.

= When all the family went to
church in time for Sunday school
and remained until after preaching
service? = we don't do that way
now. Soon as class is over, children
and most of the parents leave.
Remember when the children did
as their parents said? now the
children say first.
When father killed a beef for
the winter, tanned the hide and
made the family Shoes; - when
mother carded the wool, spun the
yarn and knit what stockings and
socks the family wore. When all
the coffee was parched and then
ground in coffee mill nailed to
the side of the house; when all
the cooking was done in a fire
place in long handled spiders or in
a pot hung over the fire?
When all the washing was
scrubbed on a wash board; all the
clothes the family wore were made
with needle and thread by mother?
She also heated the irons in front
of the fire to do the ironing with.
That's all changed now.
When the only means of
travel was by sail boat and if
it was a calm spell, you were late
getting to town and back? ~ some
changes in that line Of transporta-
ton! When the storekeeper would
give Dad bag Of candy for the
children when he bought his fam
lily supply? - now they'll change
a twenty dollar bill to get one
penny. When the family could
not tote dollar purchase home at
one time;--now one member can
carry five and not be over-burden-
ed.
When women wore their
aprons and slat bonnets to church
and all the members would stop
to speak and shake hands with
each other. Remember when all the
men helped each other cut their
winters wood and sometimes help
ed carry it to the woodpile; and
the women would meet and help
do the family's quiltingf When
everyone visited each other, -
The coastland times., 1957-12-27

don't visit now, do not have time.
When neighbors would go sit till
bedtime-none of that now.
Remember when all the young
folks would meet at some home
and have sugar boiling, then see
who could get their candy the
whitest when pulling time came :?
always asked the woman of the
house to boil the sugar and they
would play some kind of game
while it was boiling. Sometimes
they danced, sometimes just a
simple game like "lost my thin
ble." They usually got the man of
the house or the most lively one
in the bunch for Judge; = wonder
what's got all that now? Boys and
girls walked where they went and
seemed to enjoy it. Now they can't
do that, - must have a car and
usually it's only two in the car.
Remember when the floor had
to be secured each week?-
none of that now, thanks to
the man who invented limo
leum. Remember when all the
fish nets were tied at home?-
the children then were home at
nights filling needles instead of
being out doing some mischief.
Remember when it took ten and
twelve yards of calico to make a
woman dress and when they wore
five and six petticoats at time I?
don't do that now. When you
could tell if it was boys or girls
you saw by their clothes cant
do that now as children dress SO
much alike.
When their mode of land
travel was by oxcart but they
would always stop and offer you
"a ride Now they have cars, they,
don't mind passing you even tho
they are going by your gate. Won
der where all that friendliness has
gone? A lot Of changes; people
are more distant, often think only
of self, when we should love one
another as we are commanded. All
this / have seen in my stay here,
and lot more If anyone would
care to listen to II.
