The commonwealth. i. K. HILLIARD, .... Editor. Published Every Thursday. Entered at the Post-Office at Scotland Keck, N C . as Second Class Matter. THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1904. A GREAT CAROLINIAN. It is always a pleasure to note tbe great and good men who go out from North Carolina and to observe the good work they do in other parts of the country. Every loyal North Carolinian will read with pleasure the following eent out from Baltimore 6ome days ago . i "Rev. Dr. A. C. Dixon, a former p is tor of Immanuel Baptist Tabernacle, at North avenue and St. l'aul street, now the Seventh Baptist church, and at present pastor of the Ruggles street Baptist church, Boston, has been in vited to become the successor of Rev. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan as head of tbe worfc at Northfield, Mass., founded by the late Dwight L.. Moody, accord ing to advices from Boston. "Dr. Dixon, who is a brother of Thos. Dixon, Jr., the author, was pastor of Immanuel Tabernacle more than ten years ago. He Is a native of North Carolina." BREESE APPEALED. Judge Keller of the Uniied States district court heard in Charlotte last week tbe case of W. E. Breese who wrecked the First National Bank of Ashe vi lie seven years ago. The iury was out seven hours and returned a verdict of guilty of misappropriating money. J udge Keller sentenced Breeso to seven years in the United States penitentiary at Atlanta. An ap peal was taken on the exceptions and Breese escapes a while longer under bond of $15,000. The Charlotte Observer remarks : "There is an appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals, a new trial or a re-hearing or two ; or if that court is unfriendly, an appeal to the Supreme Court ef the Uuited States, a reversal there of the court below, or in case of an affirmation then perhaps a re-hear-Ing, a new trial granted, another ap peal following conviction, and so forth and so on et cetera ad infinitum. It is no wonder that among the things that fatigued Col. Hamlet he included the insolence of office and the law's delay." JUDGE MULLEN 3IENTED. COilPLI- Judge J. M. Mullen of the Corpora tion Court of Petersburg, rendered a very important decision last Saturday in a case against the Virginia P.;sfen ger and Tower Co , which was highly complimented by the Richmond Time.-!-. Dispatch. We mention the case not because our renders feel any'parlisular interest in it, but because a Halifax county man's ability is conspicuous. Judge Mullen is a native of Halifax county and about twenty-five years ago prac ticed law in Scotland Neck, p.nd his friends here will be glad to learn of his success in Petersburg. He was Com monwealth's Attorney in that city for some time, and for the past few years has been J udge of the Corporation Court. The Times-Dispatch presents a good picture of Judge Mullen and highly compliments his able decision and exhaustive review of the case be fore him. He granted the petition for a re ceiver.

He was introduced by Presi dent Varner, and thej general audience beard him gladly. He paid high com pliments to North Carolina and dwelt vi ii emphasis cpou the record of her soldier l i (lie Civil War Ld the war iih Ki-a'.r. Afier Gen. Lee's address a binqjtt as tendered the editors by the Atlac t c Hotel. It wds quite elaleraSe and nothing was left off tbe bill of faie which could have beeu desired. Mr. James A.

The fare is geed and the hotel is in bet ter condition than eyer beiore. Electric lights glitter forth from every arch and s.Ioug every pier until one is dazzled with the beauty ot the scene. Mr. J. A. Cook, the efficisnt manager of the ho tel, showed every courtesy possible to the editors, as he does to all his guests ; and his courtesies, with the fine equip ments of the splendid hotel, make a stay there altogether delightful. Time and again the editors dipped in the surf together, and when it was all over they heid tbem back to their desks for another year's work, glad indeed that they had net at Morehead City, for everything on tbe occasion conspired to make their meeting pleas ant and profitable. Wood's Seeds. Crimson Clover Sown at the last working of the Corn or Cotton Crop, can be plowed under the following April or May in time to plant corn or other crops the same season. Crimson Clover prevents winter leaching of the soil, is equal in fer tilizing value to a good application of stable manure and will wonder folly increase the yield and qual ity of corn or other crops which follow it. It also makes splendid winter and spring grazing, fine early green feed, or a good hay crop. Even if the crop is cut off, the action of the roots and stubble improve the land to a marked de gree.
