citation,


The Iron Bolt Building and Loan Asso
citation.
THE TIMES has been favored with a
copy of the last annual report of the
Iron Belt Building and Loan Assccta-
ton, OF this city. 1t is doubtless, aa
certainly 1t should be, source OF pride
to the people Of Roanoke that such an
institution should have Its home here.
Starring in June, 1890, it has moved
steadily along, and in spite OF the past
four years OF business depression, shows
assets OF over half . million.
reporter inquired into some OF the
details OF Its management, and found
That, In addition to over hundred es-
tabiished branches, it's members are
scattered all over the union. II has a
stray holding in New England, and It is
reasonable to believe that the interest,"
the folks there have taken in the ssso-
citation, will in time extend 10 other
matters In Roanoke worthy OF their at.
tentlon. All OF Its obligations have
been met with bank promptness.
Outside OF advances to members on
real estate, any member who desired an
advance on his stock got it at once, and
to the extent OF 90 per cent. of It's value
at the time, an availability by no means
obtaining in connection with stocks in
+ general in these times, and when mem.
Der wished to withdraw he has not been
delayed day beyond the maturity of
his not.cs. Its loans on real estate are
at over sixty points, and those on the
stock OF members are at as many more.
It's policy, from the start, has been ex-
tremely conservative, and the aim OF its
management has been to make the asso-
citation serviceable to as many OF It's
hnrQ nnccihlo
plain by the fact that It's real estate
loans show an average OF less than 81 600
each.
The primary office of such association
is that OF home builder, and the ques-
tion OF rent being the competitor, there
Is no known means by which homo
can be secured on such easy terms.
They are no nav things in the world ;.
England was the mother OF them all.
and there is one association in London
1.-THE "Birkbeek," forty. four yeard old)
that has over $4,000 members, and is the
fourth institution in financial strength
in Great Britain. OF course no one will
accuse English people of lack OF con-.
servasism. In Germany the interest is
almost as strong.
In an institution Of this character all
the members share exactly alike.
They agree among themselves how the
business is to be conducted. Some
have money to put in for investme emit,
others again have needs that require
them to borrow money. When mem
Der gets an advance, it Is done under
regulations agreed upon by him and
his brother members, and he engages
to make the monthly payments pre-
scribed by these regulations until the
stock covered by the advance mad e
him shall mature or reach S10O in
value. The sinking fund, provided by
the monthly payments on his stock,
gets the benefit of its full share of all
the earnings of the association. In
such transaction there can. OF course,
be no room for the principle of usury
to operate.

JUSTICE WILLIAMS, DECISION.
oficers OF the westmoreland Club Found

Officers OF the westmoreland Club Found
Guilty.
Justice Williams rendered his deois-
ion in the Westmoreland Club cases
yesterday morning, and the curtain has
been rnng down in the last act OF the
society drama, "Know Nothing, or a
Young Mans Memory Gone" The fall
seasSn will open next month, however,
and kthe theatre of action will be the
HuaEings Court.
The justice decided that the defend
aAts were guilty Of violation of the
SUNDAY law. Although they may have
\been club acting within the rule of
ehe decision Of the supreme court In the
case Of the Piedmont Club of Lynch-
buFg. yet they had no right to dispense
liqpor on Sunday.
he next point decided was the charge
against the president and mausger OF
thg club OF carrying on business of
RECALLING liquor without having q city
LICENSE. The court held that the West
Horeland Club was not protected under
Sthe Piedmont decision, as IL was not q
parallel case. 1t was admitted that the
Lynchburg club kept q restaurants and
servants and served food to mem bers,
some of whom made 1t their homes, and
that they had accommodations for such
persons by keeping a library and road
ing room. They also kept on hand q
smsll stock of liquors. but there was no
sale to any except members. In this
case the evidence shows there is no such
provision for furnishing food.
Justice Williams decided that the
charter is irregular for the reason that
every charter member who was on
record denied having anything to do
with the club; they took no part in its
meetings, contributed nothing to 1t,
had nothing to do with it's management
and no one had anything to to do with
the dispensing and sale of the liquors at
that place except the president man.
ager and Snow Ball the colored
waiter. 1t appeared that the manager
was the agent, who bought the liquor
and cigars and the president controlled
the sale to great extent, together with
the manager. to members of the club
and their invited guests. The justice
held that such sales were an evasion of
the laws Of the State and not author
lied by the charter and that 1t was
violation of tho revenue law of the
State for them to carry on the business
without first having taken out license.
a total fine OF SOS was imposed, to
