A SUBJECT OF CHARITY.

1t is rare thing to find any one
within the counties of this Northern
Neck that is in destitute circum-
stances, and we should feel thankful
that such is the case. Once in
awhile, however, we find that the
hand or misfortune is LAID heavily
upon some of our citizens, and when
this is the case we cannot show our
gratitude in more acceptable way
than by ameliorat;ng their condition.
In Corrotoman, this county, q
widow and her little child are in
distress, lacking not only food but
even raiment, shelter and fuel. Their
condition is the result of long pro-
tracted illness of the husband and
father, who died few months ago,
since which time the widow has not
been in health equal to the task of
providing for herself and little one.
The good people of that vicinity have
been doing what they could for the
distressed ones, but as colder weather
is coming on there is need for extra
exertion. No doubt the churches
will take up the matter, but individ-
uals should not wait for that; they
Will not be exonerated by Him who
said 'Inasmuch as ye did it unto
one of the least of these ye did it unto
Me" if they wait for someone else to

ton will be properly applied In this

THE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.

NORFOLK, VA, Oct. 16.-In the
Reese Manufacturing bankruptcy
case. tried here to-day, Judge Wad-
dill, of the United States Court, held
that "the mechanics lien law of Vir-
glnia and the State statute governing
liens to those furnishing supplies and
materials to mining and man ufactur-
ing companies were constitutional.
and that the bankruptcy act of 1898
did not invalidate liens ACQUIRED
under the State law. He further
held that the. filing of lien under
the State statutes was not such a
proceeding at law or in equity as was
avoided by the bankruptcy act"
This is a most important decision, as
the question has been one of the most
generally controverted legal questions
presented by the bankruptcy law.
