advantage of situation. On last

The scene was quite picturesque

lamps in their caps and hats. The
psrson stood around and directed
the work and giving orders and see

Power House,

Power House.
Pocahontas, Va, May Sat half past
eleven o'clock last night, some wag
attending the performance of a two
horse circus, showing on the suburbs of
the town. followed "Rre" and shot
several times. The alarm was taken
up, and great fucilade of shots began
throughout the town, fire bells rang
the hose companies came out, and all
male citizens of the town crowded the
streets inquiring where the fire was.
A false alarm, of course.
A Hungarian was killed on Sunday
by an Y. & W., train on Elkhorn. His
remains were brought to Pocahontas
and buried by the Hungarian Beneficial
Society of Pocahontas.
Quite storm of tightening, thunder
and rain passed over town on the 9th.
Tightening struck a largo tree just
above the power house. tearing it into
splinters.
Specifications have been made of the
foundation for the power house at the
Bailey Mines. 1t will be 1876 feet long
by 90 feet wide. Mr.. Petyiohn has the
contract for the building and Walton
& Co., have the contract for the founda-
ton.
On Sunday the forests surrounding
the Browning Mines, and his many
tenant houses were on fire. At one time
this valuable property was in danger of
being destroyed. The different hose
companies from Pocahontas, were on
the ground at short notice. They, with
the assistance of many citizens, soon
had control of the fire and this valuable
property.
I'VE have had, in the last few nights,
several white frosts, in Pocahontas and
the surrounding district.

Cyclone"
Bluestone, Va,
May 9Th, 1901.

DEAR Mr.. EDITOR:
After an unbroken silence of some
several months, we notice that Mr..
Cyclone appears again in the columns
of your paper. The name alone sig
nifies that he is rather breezy, but
nevertheless, only few of the rerd-
ers of the News will understand him.
while the majority will be misled,
as he loses sight of facts and figures
altogether. So we Will use a mild
term and call it conglomeration of
foolishness.
In order to show that his items
are calculated to mislead the people.
we give few examples as follow:
"Mr. @. has contract for 125 car
loads of mine ties,' which should
have been one car load.
Mr.. b. has purchased 1000 acres
of timber land from Mr.. Y" 500
acres more than was owned by the
latter.
"Mr. n. killed 25 ground hogs, 4"
when the facts were known. it was
only 2 or g..
Even if gentleman accompanies
a young lady to church or elsewhere,
they are SPOKEN of as man and wife.
Occasionally he may come within a
radius of 100 miles of facts and fig
ures in the case, but most generally
it is made up" from start to finish.
We enjoy witticism and wholesome
fun immensely, but items with a
slende" foundation, magnified 100
fold and those without any foundation
at all, are misleading in the extreme.
Success to the News.
Yours truly,
SUBSCRIBER.

ECHOLS PLEASED
WITH OUTLOOK
Friends Confident of Low
or Valley Support.
Staunton, Va, May 4th.

Staunton and Augusta county,
the home of Edward Echols, are SOL
idly behind him for the governor
ship and their combined strength OF
thilty.6ve votes will be cast as a
unit for him at Norfolk.
Hele better than anywhere else is
the Lieutenant Governor known aud
esteemed. Mr.Echols is not a poll
tician in the sense of the exercise OF
the trick of mixing with the throng
and capturing crowd by the little
arts OF the "good fellow" Not in
any way IS he lacking in genial
temperament or in the estimabIe
traits uf character that make him a
man to be admired. He is loyal to
his friends, high in his conceptions
and never failing in his devotion to
the interests of his native State.
Here they know the man as he is
frank, honest estimable gentleman.
Here his life has been speut, his
generosity extended and his legal
and business career open TO the
knowledge of his fellow citizens, and
from them he receives a cordial sup.
port, born OF their appreciation of
his virtues.
THE VALLEY CAMPAIGN.
MIR. Echols is very sanguine OF
success IN the lower valley, and is in
constant communication with his
friends from Lexington to Winches
ter Frederick, Rockbridge, Shenan-
doah, Highland, Allegheny, Bath,
Appomattox, Cumberland, Buclxin-
CHAM, Amherst and Fluvanna are
all Ike to be for him, he considers
and Ee has hope Of at least q good
portion OF the votes of Rockingham
and Botetourt
Ihis is not by any means ell the
strength he counts upon, and in fact
there are many other counties in
which he most energetic friends areat
work as in Richmond, and from whom
good results are being predicted in
the letters he is receiving.
The friends of Mr. Eohols claim
that he will hold the balance Of
power III the convention, and that
If the valley counties and the Tenth
Congressional District stand for
him strongly that he will be the
compromise candidate and carry off
the nomination. They claim that
with 200 to 800 delegates out of the
1,46O in the convention he would
prevent the nomination OF either of
the other three candida es and thus
become the logical man upon whom
the warning elements could unite.
The campaign of Mr.. Echols is
not tagging and he is gaining
strength as the canvass proceeds.
"Isee nothing discouraging in the
outlook" he said, sand 1 have every
confidence inthe loyalty OF my friends
in the State. lam in the flight TO
finish and have faith in the final result
of the convention
