The Folly OF Western and Southern Farm
ers MOrtgaginS Their Lands-lts Univer-
sal Practice.
ATLANTA, Gu, Jan. 10-Cons 'derable in
terest has been aroused by some statistics
which have been collected, showing that
Southern and W estern, lands are fast fall
ing into the hands Of foreign and Eastern
money lenders. In Georgia these compa-
MES hav e'placed millions Of dol ars, holi--
ing mortgages on the finest farm lands in
the State. The interest paid by the farmer
amounts to twelve per cent. Capital Of
this kind is still beng poured into the
South, Notwithstanding the fact that Judge
Speer, of the United States Court, has de-
clded such interest usurious. and the loans
accordingly forfeited. The syndicates.
are principally formed OF English and
Scotch capitalists. and they have such a
hold on the South that they hope to reverse
Judge Speer's decision. The borrowers
have allowed their interest payments to,
lapse, hoping that Judge Speer's decision
would be sustained, and tina. they will not
be forced to pay either PRINCIPAL or inter-
est. II Judge Speer's decision is not sus-
tanned, great many Georgia farms will &c
into the hands OF the mortgages, as the
farmers can not possibly pay the interest
which has lapsed upon them.
In the Southwest there is perhaps not
Irss than 500, 00O, 0OO invested in this way.
