Yeah, Harry.  My roommate at Tech brought something back to school after a Friday night at Cinder Bottom.  And he said it was most uncomfortable.  I guess his hostess was overdue for her checkup!

   heard the body count would go after pay day at the mines when the poor miners would go in town get drunk and get robbed.  Kind of like the mugging gangs that preyed on tipsy sailors in port cities.

    Drunk ?  Poker games ?  How about Keystone's main attraction,
    Cinder Bottom ? One N&W employee who owned a service station
    in Keystone once told me that those providing service were just like
    locomotives -- the West Virginia Health Department required that they
    be inspected (at Welch) every 90 days. (Actually a locomotive can go
    93 days between federally-mandated inspecions).   Harry Bundy
