THE WORKING 01* A TRUST
Barytee Mfne Closed for thft Went of a
Market
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
MORRISVILLH, VA.. September B.
The people of this section hawe Just re?
ceived an object lesson In the practical
workings of a trust that greatly assists
In preparing a soil adapted to the growth
of socialistic ideas, For half a 'dozen
year* a local company has beon operating
a barytas mine between this place and
Beeleton, and eaoh year saw a larger
output, more men employed, and more
hauling for those owning teams,
The quality of the barytes taken out at
this mine is said to be unsurpassed any
Wltli seven car-loads at the mouth of
tho mine ready to haul, two cars loaded
and ready to ship; the company could
not sell a car-load shipped to Lynchburg
as usual, and all operations 'here were
at once suspended. The factories that
prepare the barytes for market, and most
of the mlnos were recently swallowed up
by a trust, and as this company here
Is -not a partner its output was refused
It Is said by the factories, which are
conerolled by the trust.
This same company Is now turning its
attention to the development of some very
rich deposits of copper adjacent to the
barytes. Years ago, the copper Interests
here were very flourishing, but water
flooded the mines. Thoso now interested
hope by the use of more modern appli?
ances to overoome this obstacle and once
more uncover the copper veins whloh are
also sold to 'be <very rich In silver.

changed, he returned to his command,
and was with it In every engagement, un?
til he was severely wounded, losing his
right arm,'In General Early's campaign
In the Valley. He was then the orderly
sergeant of his company, although still a
mere boy. As soon as he had suiflclently
recovered to do ?o, he went to the Uni?
versity of Virginia to prepare - himself
for his chosen profession, the law, and
was thus engaged when the war closed.
Became a Lawyer.
As soon as the University reopened af?
ter the war, Judge Minor resumed his
studies there, and graduated In law from
that institution in. 1878 or '79, and in the
same class with some of the most bril?
liant lawyers in the State, among them
may be mentioned, the late James N.
Diinloo and Richard Hi ChrlaUan, of this
city, and David B. Pierce, of Wythevllle.
On coming to the bar. Judge Minor set?
tled In Henrico county^ where his parents
were then living,. &&4 opened an office
In this city. ?When the Underwood Con?
stitution was adopted, and the County
Court system thereby Inaugurated went
Into effect. Judge Minor was elected the
first Judge of the County Court of Hen?
rico, aai. filled that office with ability
and to the satisfaction of all, until Ma
hone and his readjusters got control of
the State In 1S79. Being a debt payer or
"Funder." as they woro then called,.
Judge Minor, along with all other offi?
cers of his political persuasion, was
superseded and Judge Edmund Waddlll.
Jr., the present--United States district
Jud.se., was elected to succeed him. When
Juage Waddlll resigned this office to ac?
cept the appointment of district attor?
ney, Judge Minor was again chosen coun?
ty Judge of Henricq, and continued In
that office until the creation of the Law
and Equity Court of this city in 1894. He
was then nominated by the bar of this
olty, and elected to that high and Im?
portant position by the Legislature.
A Great Compliment.
The mere fact that Judge Minor wai
nominated for the judgeship by the Rich,
mond Bar, when he was not then living
in the city and when he was opposed by
some of the best material at that bar. at?
test at once both his standing as a law
yer and popularity as a man, and It can
be safely said that no better selection
could have been made. He .was serving
his second term, to which he was elected
without a suggestion of opposition. He
filled the office both to the satisfaction
of the bar and the suitors In hla court,
and his ability and Judicial hearing and
temperament were recognl*ed by all with
whom he came In contact, Indeed, no
man in Virginia was more beloved and
respected than Judge Minor. In April,
1877. h'e married Miss Katie Pleasants,
a daugther of the late Adair Pleasants,
of this city, by whom he had six chil?
dren, three of whom are now living.
Adair. Carlle and Annie. He also leaves

"It would appear as though there had
been sufficient developments In Virginia
In the pest few weeks to make it pretty
clear that Governor Montaguo will not
indubitably be a candidate against Sena-'
tor Martin In 1005," said a gentleman
from Frererlcksburg to-day, who would
not allow hla name to be used. "It looks
to mo now as though William-A. Jones
would be the candidate. It looks llko the
fight would bo over the question of pri?
mary or no primary. Jones originated
that question at tho Roanoke conven?
tion In 1603, so far as Virginia Is con?
cerned. I am a friend and slncero ad?
mirer of Governor Montague's, but I am
forced to say that It the sonatorlul pri?
mary 1b the issue, Jones would bra the
logical candidate. He was a participant
in the May conference, the object of
which was to have the Democratic State
Committee adopt the primary plan of
chooMng a candidate for the Senate. He
was the only member of tho conference
who took the stump for Governor Tyler
The candidate representing the men who
