As High as Twelve Hundred Per Cent. Paid
by Some AgricuIturists.
The British Consul at Brindisi, in the
course of an interesting report on the
trade and agriculture of his district es-
pecially of the province of Lecce OBJ
serves that there are but thirteen local
or cooperative banks in the province,
and that small proprietors, unable to
obtain advances from the agencies of tho
large banks and having no cooperative
bank to assist them, have to resort to
usurers to obtain funds to cultivate their
vineyards. In the published statistics
of the chamber Of commerce for the
province for the year 1888 some astound'
ing figures on the subject are given.
''How the Chamber has obtained the
information am unable to say, but the
surprising feature is that, after paying
the land tax of 40 per cent. on the as
sessed value of the land, the owner has
been able to pay such rates of interest
as those quoted below las he must have
done or have sacrificed his
property. Such being the case.
it can only result that had these
unfortunate proprietors been able
to get money on fairly easy terms say
to 10 per cent. per annum, they would
have found agriculture in the province a
very profitable speculation. At first
sight 1t would seem that such state of
things might be worthy the attention of
foreign bankers; If proprietors can and
do pay such rates of interest, surely
legitimate banking business would pros
per here. The communes cited are in
out-of-the-way positions, far from the
larger towns, which in some measure
explains matters.
The table gives list of twenty-eight
communes, with the rate per cent per
annum charged for money lent to agri-
culturists. The lowest rate is 40 and
the highest 1900 per cent The average
is almost 215 per cent. throughout the
entire province.-London Financial

SNAPPED PIPES WITH BIS
MARCk

An American Memento of the Iron
Chancellor's School Days.
Atlanta Journal.
"This is all that is left of pipe
which Bismarck used in his school
days"
The speaker was Judge J. Gadsden
King, who leaned far back in his easy
office chair as he spoke and held up
in his hand plain cherry pipe stem
about q foot long.
"How did 1 come into possession of
it?" The Judge said, repeating my
question.
ut was in this way. You see my
brother, Mitchell Z. King went
to school with Bismarck when he
was a student at DIR. Becker's famous
school at Frankfort-on-the-Main. They
were classmates and roommates-al-
together very intimate friends. Now
when they were about to leave col
lege they exchanged pipes-fOr you
know every German student has his
pipe. Well, Mitchell brought the
pipe which the future chancellor gave
him in exchange for his own to Am
erica with him, and it fell into my
hands, for l am great smoker.
"rhe pipe" Judge King continued,
"was quite pretty one. The bowl
was made of fine china and had a
cameo likeness of Bismarck on the
front of it. The stem was about twice
as long as it is now, for it has been
trimmed very often.
Mitchell and Bismarck were very
| warm friends and correspondent with
each other for years; in fact, they do
now, think. Some time ago some
body in America wrote Bismarck a
letter, asking him if he knew any
body on this side of the water. He
replied that he knew and correspond
ed with two men in the United States
one was Mitchell G. King and the
other DIR. Emory Coffin, of Aiken, 5.
IC. Mitchell, my brother, is now 76
years old and is living at Flat Rock,
NC.
"How old is the stem?" asked.
| "Well, it's hard to say, the Judge
| replied. LET me see. Mitchell
brought it over with him in 1885; that
makes it fifty-five years old, and 1
don't know how old 1t was then. 1t
is an interesting memento, and /
prize it very highly" the Judge con-
Guided, as he laid it carefully away
in one of his desk drawers, and turned
to pick up his everyday pipe, which
he had laid aside while holding the
stem of Bismarck's school-day pipe
in his hand.
