neighbOrho0d, but has been met at all
points by the Democratic speakers. Mr..

The recent decision OF the Court OF AID.
peals in the case OF A. NJ. Davies Us. Crich-
ton excites interest. The decision was upon

court. The case involved the validity OF
the charter OF the Mutual Building. Fund
Association OF Lynchburg, which was char
tered by simply recording It's articles OF asso-
citation In the clerks office OF the Circuit
Court. The decision OF the Court Of APP
peals confirms the validity OF the charter,
and Is thus in favor Of Davies, the appel
