GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 29, ISL
On casting about the State for suitable
person for Speaker of the House of
Representatives, we know of NJ one
whose natural fitness for the position is
superior to that of Robt l. Chester, of
jackson, Tenn. Col. Chester is familiar
with parliamentary rules and usages, and
would preside with dignity, decision and
deCorum. As public servant he has
been faithful, untiIing and jealous, dis
charging his duty with promp;ness, abili~
ity and honesty. Let him be elected. 1t
will be fitting testimonial to worth, sud
public recognition of his eminent ser

THE swTToHBACK RAILROAD.


One Of the greatest feats of railroad
engineering is to be seen at this place. 1t
is generally known as the Swilchback
Railroad, but its proper name is the
Gravity Railroad. Originally it was
operated by what is known as switch
back, but now it is run on the principle
of gravitation. There sre four hills in
the circuit of twenty-five miles, up which
tue cars are drawn by means of station
airy engines. With this exception, the
cars are propelled by tae;r own weight,
and they move at speed ranging from
twelve TO twenty five miles pei hour. The
road was constructed for the purpose of
Transporting the coal which is mined nine
miles back from this town, on Sharp and
Black mountains, and in Panther creek
valley lying between. the first an
thracite coal was discovered On Sharp
Mountain, sometimes known as Summit
Hill, by hunter named Ginter, in 1871.
1t was not however until 1920 that ship
ments of coal from these rich mines be-
came at al regular or noteworthy.
Wagons were used for transporting the
coal until 1927, when d track was con-
structed with falling grade, from Sum
nit Hill to the Lehigh river, by which
cars were run down by their own gravity,
from which it derived It's name of Gravity
Railroad. The cars were drawn back by
mules, which were sent down on cars
with each train. A more expeditions re-
turn of the cars to the mines became
necessary, and in 1914 the plan of back
track was arranged. An inclined
plane was laid to the top Of Mount
Pisgah, up which the empty cars were
elevated by means of stationary en-
CINE. Then by a downward grade the
cars reached Mount Jefferson, up which
they were drawn over an inclined plane
By q stationary engine, and then by an
other downward grade they reached Sum-
NIT Hill From this point the cars de-
scended to the mines in the valley by
what was cslled the swiichback. This is
changed now, the cars reaching the val.
ley By longer but continuous lines, over
which immense quantities of coal are
brought to Mauch Chunk and dumped in
to canal boats to be transported to q mar
ket.
Arrangements had been made to
give the party an excursion over this
road, and shortly after our arrival
quite number set out for ride over this
novel railroad. A number of smsll cars
have been put upon this road to accom-
modate excursion parties, and at the foot
of the plane up Mount Pisgah we entered

Notwithstanding the general declenson

this village seems To be an exception 10

This block is two stories high. with n

Messrs. Denison have recently purchas-
ed the tannery OF the Messrs. Winslow,
so as to have the entire control Of the
water power. Several stores and other
buildings are in process of completion.
Messrs Denison are running their Pa
per mill to their utmost capacity. getting
out, on an average, six tons OF paper q
day. They have put in large boiler thif
season, and have made several important
improvements in their machinery. There
are but very few mills in the country
with better facilities for getting out fine
book and newspaper than those in this
village. This has been for several years
one of the largest clothing manufacture

employment 10 hundreds of families.

the library in room obtained Tor the
purpose and give out the books on n
