The greater part of this county is underlaid with veins of bituminous and cannel coal. ranging from two to six feet in thickness.
This county affords many good loca- tions for inills and factories. One railroad, the L. & E., touches this county, and runs along just in the edge of the county for a distance of about ten miles.
There are a great many public roads in this county, which are excellent during the dry season: they are maintained under the general laws of the State.
