The Southern Lumberman enumerates 46 sawmills in 

 this region, with an average capacity of 7,300 feet a day, 

 and 7 other wood-working establishments, which seems 

 an underestimate. The low average capacity is doubtless 

 correlated with the discontinuity of the forests. Thirty- 

 one of the mills cut long-leaf pine, 21 short-leaf, 2 "white 

 pine" (whatever that may mean), 2 cypress, 4 hickory, 

 2 beech, 18 white oak, 15 red oak, 16 poplar, 5 sweet 

 gum, and 2 ash. None of the mills located within the re- 

 gion seem to be large enough to operate tram-roads, but 

 near the Coosa River a few tram-roads belonging to 

 larger mills in other regions penetrate this one for short 

 distances.
