In the Legislature at Richmond
last Friday Judge Thomas w.
Harrison was nominated TO succeed
himself as Judge of the Seven
teenth Circuit, no other aspirant
appearing.
The candidacy of Judge Thomas
w. Harrison for a seat on the
Supreme Bench. which was
heralded principally by the Win
chester and Richmond papers, fail
ed TO materalize.
At the same session all of the
Judges of the Supreme Court of
Appeals were renominated, and,
when the lot was drawn for length
of terms, Judge George NJ. Harri-
son secured the long term of twelve
years.
On the drawing of the terms for
the Supreme Court judges, Senator
Wickham and Delegate Jennings
acted as tellers and the result was
as follows:
Four year term, Judge II. H..
Cardwell; Six year term, Judge
Stafford q. Whittle; Eight year
term, Judge John A. Buchanan:
Ten year term, Judge James
Keith; Twelve year term, Judge
George NJ. Harrison.

Compliments Mr.. Thompson

Some time since the State Cor
poration Commission granted a
charter to an enlarged corporation,
which shall henceforth conduct our
esteemed contemporary, the Nor
folk Dispatch. 1t will be observed.
however, that the same manage
ment is retained, the only point of
difference being that a large
amount Of capital and extensive
newspaper experience is added to
the paper. We wish TO congratu-
late the interesting afternoon sheet
upon its continued prosperity.
That very able young newspaper
man, James NJ. Thompson, will
remain at the helm. He is indis-
sOlubly connected with the paper
in many ways his marked person
ality and indefatigable labor have
impressed his community and have
stamped themselves indelibly upon
the very pages of the paper.
MIR. Thompson purchased the
plant and paper in 1900 for a song.
The equipment he got was inferior
to that of the average weekly office
in the State, and the paper, com
monty known as The Norfolk
Disgrace" would not be handled
by the newsboys on the streets.
When they were urged To deal i'm
his papers by the young editor he
was held in derision and thrown at
as only gang of newsboys can do.
This is betrayal of no confidence.

repeats the incident as a joke.

however. they did sell the Dispatch.
Only a few hundred at first. but
there was that gradual increase
which counts up like interest.
Finally the old drum cylinder was
discarded, and Improvement after
Improvement was added, until the
once Norfolk Disgrace" was
made the third paper in the State.
in point of circulation.
All of this has been accomplish
ed by the sweat of the brow, by
overcoming discouragements and
obstacles and by many a hard lick.
There has never been what YOU
might term capital behind the Dis
patch. The men and boys you
may say, of the Dispatch have
worked for it as their all, and with
the peoples interest at heart. The
people have apparently appreciat-
ed their labors.
1t is no wonder, then, that every
one is glad to hear that this paper
Is making 4 success in a large field,
