THE VERDICT.

The trial of Mr.. S. T. Abbott, the
associate publisher of The Prog
ress took place Thursday, lasting
all day, the Judge concluding his
charge little after Z o'clock.
The State was represented by
Hon. John r. Land, district attor-
ney who ably conducted his side
Of the case. Judge A. w. o. Hicks
appeared for the defendant, and
covered every point in the issue. !
After being out more than two
hours the jury returned the follow:
ing verdict;
"we, the jury, find the prisoner
guilty as charged; and recon-
mend him to the extreme mercy of
the court"
To many, this verdict was a
great surprise, as the general opin-
ion was-so far as we could learn
that, at the very worst, there would
be mistrial.
We can't help but believe that
the verdict was radically wrong:
One which may ruin the life of a
young man, and wreck the hopes
of a young sister. But we have
no word of censure for the iurv.
1t was composed of gentlemen of
intelligence, integrity, and social
position. We believe they acted
as their consciences dictated.
OF course Judge Land will give
due weight to that part of
the verdict which used this stronp
language; and aUe recommend him,
to the extreme mercy of the Court.

VALUE OF CITY PROPERTY
In the State of Alabama Increased by
 Building & Loan Associations.

In discussing the utility of building and loan associations, prominent citizen of Mobile some time since said: "The most noticeable effect the lending of money by building and loan associations has had in Mobile is the fact that 1t has brought a large amount of the money of individuals into the market in search of loans on the same class of property that the associa- tions lend on. Before in SC associations began to do business here 1t was very diff ficult to borrow money on even the most desirable real estate. Persons Who had money were not disposed to lend it on real property because of the slow process of converting this class of property into cash in case the loan was not returned when due But since the influx of the money of building and loan associations all this has been changed People with money to lend have realized that they could place their money on real estate security With the confidence that if the borrower was not able to meet his obligation when 1t fell due that it would not be necessary to sell the mortgaged property under the hammer, but that the money to take up the mort gage could be readily obtained from one of these associations. The effect of their doing business here has been consequent ly to make real estate what it was not be- fore viz: available collateral for loans.
 The ideas suggested by these remarks have found abundant illustration in nearly all the other towns and cities in the state
 Real estate is convertible into cash less readily than any other kind of property. For unimproved property there cannot re said to be any certain market at all, while for improved property the market in few places is ready one. Then. too, real es- tate transactions are of slow consumma- ton. and but a small per cent of them are for cash. These are the facts which at one time made money-lenders slow to nlaee their money in real estate mort gages The fear that 1t would be neces- sary for them to receive their money promptly when due and the danger that their debtors could not meet their obliga-

A COMING WAR BOOK.
Gen. Wheeler to Write a History of the
 Struggle With Spain.

From the Washington Times.
 Gen. Wheeler is taking notes in the midst of his other duties for a book on the war, which he will write in the near future. In 1t he will pay particular attention to the work of the regular troops at Santiago.
 He says in regard to these men.
 Tn regard to the difference between regu- lars and volunteers, we must be fair, just and honest in this matter. Many of the volunteers left positions with large salaries and comfortable and luxurious homes to serve their country. They were seff-sacri- ficing; they were brave; they were chival- rous. But truth compells me to say that for effectiveness in battle they could not be expected to equal trained soldiers. The reg ular army officers and men had been train ed to estimate distances by the eye and to adjust their sights with great precision; consequently, when they were in action, every man was an expert marksman, and they used their rifles with most marvel ous accuracy.
 Ut was touching to see the regulars get some of the American newspapers, read how redoubt after redoubt was taken by the volunteers, and scarcely any mention was made of the regular army. How dis appointed and disgusted they were; One cabfain turned to me and said: Depend upon it, the truth will be told when history Is written"

tfons on time would render 1t necessary
 to resort to the tedious process of fore
 closure and of finding a buyer for the
 property in order to realize on their mort
 gage debts, caused monied people to avoid
 this class of investment. These considera-
 tions have not, however, affected loan as-
 sociations in the same way they have par
 ties not regularly engaged in the business
 of lending money. In the first place. if a
 loan is not kept up, as long as the margin
 of security over and above the debt is
 ample to cover accumulations of interest
 they are willing to let the loan continue
 without foreclosure, they would not
 better themselves by taking their money
 out of such a loan and placing it in an-
 other And in the next place, where fore
 closure is necessary, they are able, having
 an income from other loans and other
 sources with which to make new loans to
 carry, without embarrassment such real
 estate as they are compelled to foreclose
 until buyer for it can be obtained, re-
 garding the rents in the meantime in-
 terest on their original loan and the pro-
 ceeds of an ultimate sale as reimbursement
 for the principal.
 Building and loan associations have too, furnished a regular and certain source of supply from which money could be ob- tained by those having the proper securi- ty. It has by no means always been the case that because man had good secu- rity he could borrow money on it. Some- one with the money, who was ready and willing to lend it, could not always be
 found. In the smaller towns such money as there is is tied up in farming and mer- cantie operations and interest is high. As result man who wished. to buy or build home in such place, though the property might be of well-established val ue, if he did not have enough to complete the transaction, would find 1t difficult to borrow the balance requisite to carry out his plans. Such loans are, however, much desired by loan associations, and as a re- suit there are innumerable homes in small towns owned by well-to-do merchants and farmers who bought or built them with money which they obtained, in the main. from building and loan associations. and which could not have been obtained else- where.
 In the cities of the state these associa- tions furnish a steady supply of money for loans on property which is really very
 desirable security, but which Is not reach ed by any considerable extent by any oth- CT class of money lenders. These are small homes. While this class of security is excellent. yet the loans desired on it are not as rule large enough to be handled by the so-called mortgage companies. nor of class appreciated by the individual lender. And. it p,ay be added, the supply of money to lend held by these two latter : classes is by no means sufficient to meet
 the demand of desirable borrowers.

QUEER COLONY IN PARAGUAY.
Rules That Govern Settlement of Aus
 tralians in South America.

From the New York World.
 >One of the strangest colonies in the world is probably that of Cosme, founded in Paraguay by colonists of English blood from Australia.
 The property of the colonists Is all held in common and all their work is done in common-cultivating building, housekeep- ing-but each family may occupy house by itself. There is no currency but labor, and every colonist has to give the colony thirty-six hours labor week. If he works longer he establishes a labor credit which he can draw on at any time. Only teetotalers are accepted as colonists.
 A single man may put in extra labor to provide himself house on his marriage. If labor to his credit is not sufficient the colony will allow him overdraft to a certain amount. He could have as large a house as he chooses, although he would be considered foolish to have larger pos session than he needs.
 Having paid for his house, he can draw upon his surplus labor for anything eise he requires, or he can use his leisure for cultivating his garden or any other pri- vate purpose. While the house has been built by the mans labor he cannot sell it. It is only his to occupy.
 Cosme does not want single men, al- though single women would be welcome, being scarce, as in most new communities S. A single woman supports herself by doing sewing, washing and following other wo- manly occupations, but when woman is married the colony makes no more claim upon her. She is doing all that the com munity requires in managing her house and attending to her children. Men are married at 21, women at IS. There is no religious service, but the community lives on the ten commandments and on it's own ethical principles.

The advice to neither a borrower nor lender be certainly does not apply to mod ern business conditions; for men who bor- row do so as a rule because they find that they can use the money obtained at a profit to them greater than the interest they pay, and those who lend with caution rarely fail to obtain return on their in- vestnent. Money-lending, then, Is pusi- ness-a necessary and useful business and the above are some considerations which bear on the phases of this business which have been defined and developed bv building and loan associations.
