THE USURY LAW BILL.
from the Abbeyille Presa.l

We see that Mr.. Wilkes, Of Anderson, has
introduced into the Legislature bill to repeal the
act OF 1885, which repealed the old usury laws OF
the State. The bill is now in the hands OF the
committee of ways and means IN the House, and
will meet 1t is said as we think 1t deserves, very
strong opposition; the attempt to exempt money
from the operation Of the general laws OF trade
and to subject it to any other law than that or
supply and demand, must prove futile. "Ihe
worth OF thing is what 1t Will bring" and in this
respect how does money differ from any other
commodity, or what equity is there in the at
tempt by legislative enactment to force a man 10
take seven per cent. for that which Is worth
twelye9 The attempt Is fruiIless. and all mercan.
tile experience shows that no usnry law can be
rigl lily enforced. Even II practicable, the only
effect would be to divert capital to sections where
trade is unfetteret, and the lender is free to re-
ccye the price which his capital commands IN
the market. Is 1t to be supposed the capitalists
here will be so patriotic and accommodating as 10
lend their money at seven per cent. when they
can get twelve In out sister States OF the South
Even In Georgia, where the usury law Is In full
operation, money commands thirteen per cent
seven per cent. interest, and one-half per cent.
per month in the way Of commissions. Every
sound reason seems TO oppose the repeal OF the
law OF 1866, and we trust that the bill OF Mr..
Wilkes Hl be defeated.

oranges, bananas and pineapples heretofore
made, and the character OF the fruit produced
there, renders 1t almost certain that with proper
care and enterprise the fertile climate Of the
peninsula may yield abundantly all the products
Of the West Indies, while the superiors and rapid
communication by steamship and 'rafl, which is
possessed by the State, will enable her to supply

the demand Of almost the entire country.
IN CONCLUSION.
The following figures, taken from an article
published in the American Grocer on the 27th OF
June 1870, by Messrs. Paul. Welch Brandes,
will show something of the character Of the annu-
al Charleston fruit trade. 'The following quaint.

Last year there were eighteen cargoes; this

CAUGHT AT LAsT.-We predicted
several times that d" Peeping Tom y
would come to grief. Deputy Marshal
knerr. on hearing OF his appearance
Thursday night, started to lay his
plans for the capture of this fellow
having some suspicion of man in
this CIV: and last night followed him
when he left his house. Alter dodg-
ing him for some time, knerr caught
the fellow in the act of peeping i'll az
the back window of a private residence
and went for him, but he got away.
Knerr then called Marshal DumarS TO
his assistance, when the two proceed
ed to follow him. In a little while
they discovered the fellow again peep
ing in window. whereupon the Off
GERS seized him and took him to the
City Jail. Too much praise cannot be
given the Marshal and his Deputy for
their efforts in securing . Peeping
Tom who has so often disturbed
and frightened families in the town.
He is known here as Pat McCue; and
we are told. has, beside his many peca-
dilIos in Hamilton, had previously
been persuaded to leave several other
