A Big Deal Reported.
In Iron Furnace Properties in
Southwest Virginia.


Bristol limos and Times-C Courier
1t is currently reported upon I he
streets that Mr.. George l.. Carter,
OF Pulaski, Va, has formed - syn.
dicatc and has purchased all he
iron furnaces in southwest Va,
including the big furnace in BRISTOL.
In connection, with tile purchase
OF the iron furnaces, it is said, he
has purchased the Doe mountain
and Doc valley iron ore mines in
johnson county, Tenn, and the
Bristol and Elizabethton and South
Atlantic and Ohio railroads.
This is more than probable, as
Mr.. Carter represents the people
who own and operate the Toms
Creek coal properties in Wise
county, and they are interested
largely in coal properties along
the line Of the South Atlantic and
Ohio railroads. The purchase of
these roads would give them splcn-
did transportation facilities for
handling the ore, coal and iron.
Mr.. George Il. Carter is at pres
cnt manager Of the Dora furnace
at Pulaski, Va, and has made that
paying property, aud is con.
sidercd one Of the best iron furnace
men in this section of the coun
try.
If this rumor be true, and it most
likely is true, it means much for
Bristol in n business way. MIR.
Carter and his people don't buy
furnaces for speculation, but they
own them to operate them. If
this dea! is completed, BristoPs
big furnace will go to blast under
the most favorable circumstances
and the South Atlantic and OHIO
and Bristol and Elizabethton rail
roads will be the natural feeders
of the big furnace. Mr.. Carter is
known to have recently negotiated
Il loan of two million dollars in
New York, presumably part of
this big transaction,

The Richmond Times, in Il recent

MIR. Bryan's views Of Imperialism.

that Mr.. Bryan had abandoned

Mr.. Bryan Agam.

We are glad to drop this gentle
mans military title and see him
again in the role of private, though
not wholly disinterestcd spectator of
events.
He has taken occasion, since re.
covering from the military lock- jaw,
to deliver himself pretty freely on an
impending issue and we must confess
that his views against territorial cX-
pansion are strongly put together.
We can find more weak places in
Hoar's argumint, or Vests, or Cor
negie's, and must accord Mr.. Bryan
the credit Of having said all that
could have been said in favor Of the
United States relapsing into an
insular and ignominious position
among the powers. This proves what
has been so often demonstrated, that
Bryan-is one of the few especially
gifted men of>the times, and that
the people formed good estimate
of him in SO when he said so many
things without saying any foolish
things.

his body Is frail, and bis eyes are mild
and blue. His head, however, is massive
and we'll shaped, and his long white hair
and beard give him the appearance Of a
patriarch.
For nearly 80 years he labored with
tongue and pen to have set aside the pro-
visions of the law which compelled all
English parents to have their children
vaccinated, and on Aug. 12 he saw his Ia
bors crowned with success, for on that
day the queen signed the measure allow
ing conscientious parents to make dec
laration of objection to vaccination before
a magistrate and thus free themselves
from what they consider persecution. This
victory was not won without mighty
| struggle and a vast outlay of money and
energy. IL is estimated that the antivac-
cinists spent $5 900, 900 in the cause. 1t is
known that Mr.. Tebb alone contributed n
fortune-how much he is too modest to
| say.
During the antivaCcinntion agitation
| MIR. Tobb cirCled the earth several times
seeking information to aid him in the
| fight. For "a years he devoted consider
| able part of his time to travelling in Great
Britain, the various states of Europe,
America and the English colonies to in
quirc into the methods and results of vac
Cination. The amount of information he
acquired on the subject was enormous,
and he spread it broadcast by means Of
public lectures and letters to tho press.
| Although the antivacCinists have won
their victory in England, Mr.. Tebb says
that the league will not be disbanded. 1t
is the intention of the members to push
the crusade against compulsory vaccina-
tion in other countries, particularly in
Germany, where the law is very stringent.
1t is the intention of the league also to
start an agitation in this country against
| regulations of boards of health which
make it necessary for children to be vacci.
mated before they can enter the public
schools and also against the federal law
requiring all immigrants to be vaccinated
