USURIOUS AND OUTRAGEOUS
THAT IS WHAT JUDGE BANKS SAID OF THE SHYlOCKS.
Commended tho Jury For Returning Yer dict Against Them Cases Continually Be-
 ing Tried in the Justices Courts.

The latter day Shylocks were given a stinging rebuke by Judge Banks of the circuit court.
 sev:ral instances of that usurious practices have been unearthad by the Age-Herald, and cases are continually coming to light in the couEts
 Thla ju1l.3e courts have many suits fer the recovery of monies loans1 by certain monlsy lenders, ito people in moderate circumstances, and especially to negroes.
 A lein is always taken upon such Household effects as the unfortunates possess and Interest is collected at usur- ious rates.
 Several of these cases hIave been ap- psajled to th.- higher courts, and the in- vestigat1ons have disclosed some start ling facts. -l t1
 In the case of c. H. Handbook vs. Howard Walker and Hattie Walker, which was tried on an appeal from Justice I. H. Benner'S court, the jury returned verdict for the defendant.
 The suit grew out of note given by Walker and his wife to G. H. Hand cock for $S20 on Dec. 5, 1S96.
 Walker received $6 in cash and gave a lein on his household goods to secure the pawn msnIt. The cheI1ge of $2.20 is strpai,ltei1 in the application for the loan as a fee for investigating the title, etc.
 On Dec. 31 Walker made a payment of 90 cents on the face of th- nCte, and varfous amounts for inte. est.
 Suit wlas brought for $510 in the jus tlce court, and a judgment was render ed aglainst Walker. The time allowed by law for an appeal expfr:d, and the case was taken up on WI 1t of eel ticGari, issued by Probate Judge Porter.
 The suit was resisted on the grounds of usury, ard when the jury in the cir Al.x defendants Judge Banks add essad them 6s follows:

A Marietta Man
Nas Novel Experience With an Old
ACquainIance.

If ordinary mortals and Marietta
mortals, are no exception, get cinder
in the eye, or if some disagreeable
wound or compound fracture of limb
falls TO their lot, every availa bic means
is employed to dislodge the former and
the best known expedients are used to
bind up or set the latter. If the aver
age citizen has corn or backache he
wants to get rid of it as long as it an
annoyance, but if it eases up a little
and firts with him for short time the
anxiety to part with it diminishes in a
direct ratio to the flirting.
Take backache for instance. 1t is
generally little thing at first but if
not attended to in time, it invariabl
leads to future trouble. This need not
happen to any citizen of Marietta. Be
guided by neigh bor's advice. Read this:
Mr.. f. M. Longley, No. 206 Putnam
Ave, says:-"I have had attacks of kid
ney complaint for long time but dur
ing the Lasts years they have been
more severe and almost continual.
need not go into all the particulars of
the symptoms. Every body who has
had disordered kidneys knows all about
it. What to do when suffering is of
more Importance. As | was long time
on the Police Force and am we'll ac-
quainted in Marietta my ADVICE may be
the means of helping a lot OF citizens
who are enduring misery not only when
engaged in their daily calling but even
during their intervals of rest. Doan's
Kidney Pills will cure them. got a

from the results obtained am safe in
saying there is no kideey remedy like

Live heroes. when they serve in the
ranks, can always count on shabby
treatment from the British authorities.
When the transport ship Warren Hast
ings> with 1,246 souls on board, went
ashore on the rocks of the island of Re-
union last January, in a pitch dark
night, with heavy sea running, all
England rang with the praise of the
bravery and discipline of the troops,
who stood drawn up in companies on
the deck till the women and children
were saved and then went ashore as
they were told off. Many of the officers
were then mentioned in orders and
some were promoted. The soldiers and
their families lost all their baggage.
After six months the war department
allows each man six dollars to renew
his kit and each family $3.50 as COM
pensation for lost property.
