A UNIQUE STATE OF AFFAIRS.

peculiar situation, placing one rail ol

unique state of affairs, the like of which
perhaps exists nowhere else in the
United States.
Companions may travel through the

on opposite sides OF the car, one will
make the trip in the State of Virginia,

Summer cars the same will be true

position with the center line of the car
between them.

the car. Under these circumstances
one may pass from IL to II clock in
an instant by moving from the south
to the north side of the car. Then, if

pose he may reverse it one hour by re-
turning to the south side of the car.

EchoIs for Governor.

1t Is apparent to all thoughtful Dem
ocrats that the Hon. Edward Echols
OF Augusta county, Is the favorit
among the Democrats of the Valley O
virginia in the gubernatorial contest
IL is natural and right that such be th,
case. He is we'll known throughout
the Valley as gentleman in every
sense-a worthy son of a gallant Con
federate soldier, General John Echols
whose career as soldier and busines
man reflects much credit on the Valley,
as well as the entire State of Virginia.
MI. Echols. though lawyer by pro-
fesslon, and enjoying good practice
and the confidence of the community
as well as his clients, has long been a
close student of political affairs, espe
cially of those pertaining to the adj
ministration OF the State government.
And it may be said of him, without
disparagement to the other aspirants,
that he is better acquainted with the
history of public affairs at Richmond,
and is moro familiar with the needs
and conditions of the State than any
of the candidates. A long service IN
the State Senate. and four years as
Lieutenant-G Governor, have given him
exceptional opportunities to study our
State administration at the time when
Mr.. Swanson has been engaged with
Federal affairs, and Mr.. Montague
performing his duties as U. y. Attor-
ney, and as Attorney General of the
State.
The county of Augusta has always
been considerate of the claims of the
Candidates from Rockingham, and,
all things being equal, our people are
naturally disposed of reciprocate.
Much has been said of the character !
Of the contest that is being waged be-
tween the friends of Mr.. Montague and
Mr.. Swanson, of the fierceness of the
strife, charges and counter charges,
and recrimlnations, the
merits of which We need not examine.
Happily for the Democracy of the Val
ley, and particularly of Rockingham
the supporters of Mr.. Echols,
while not unmindful of the contest be-
tween those gentlemen, accord him
cheerful support without provoking
arousing strifes, or in-
1ulging in criticisms, examinations of
my candidate. 1t is particularly gratl
ying to the Free Press that it can
spouse the cause of the candidate of
he Valley without thereby rejecting
lpon other gentlemen, Or indulging in
hat sort of political warfare that nee
the use of poisoned arrows.
The position of Mr.. Echols in the con-
est is high, clean, dlgnified and i'm
'ersonal, and on such a plane will his
riends conduct bis canvass. Mr.. t
lchols deserves, and in our opinion !
Iill receive, the support of the great

pans men were busy filling a long line
of baskets, holding, l should think
each about two baskets of coal, and

line until they reached their destina-

rather almost throwing, these huge
basketfuls to the girl above her, and
she again to her mate above Ter, and
so on to the end. The rapidity, skill,
and, above all, the rhy thmic precision
with which, for hours, this really ire

achievement which might well fill an
American athlete with dismay. AS

The task-I ought rather to call it
an art, so neatly, simply and graceful
ly was it done-was this; the young
girl stopped to her companion below
her, seized from her uplifted hands a
huge basket of coal, and then, shoot
ing her little arms upward, tossed it |
laughingly to the girl above her in the
sver ascending chain. And all the
while there was heard. as one passed |
along from one to another of these
chains of living elevators, a clear,
sound, which l supposed at |
