4 lGaA who Borrowed SS IN 1855 ana

S8A.99. ~

One Of the most remarkable suits
recently brought in Chatham county,
Ca, is now pending before Justice j.
X. Saussy, Jr., of the Fourth militia
district. 1t is suit for usury. the case
being one where a negro borrowed
$o.U1 from loan broker in 1895, and
has since paid him $S4.99, and the
broker still claims a balance due of
$40.
The way in which this state of af-
fairs is brought about is remarkable
one, and yet simple. says the Savannah
News. 1t is done simply by charging
40 per cent. per month interest. or
whereabouts.
james Erwon borrowed 5000 from
Fl. L. Drake G. Co. in 1895. AS matter
Of fact, however, he received only five
dollars. the Sl.C6 being charged for
drawing up the papers and negotiating
the loan. 1t was charged up against
the negro. however. with the original
amount borrowed.
Since he borrowed the money Brown
has paid to the concern $500, in
amounts ranging from 81 cents to two
dollars. and has every receipt given
Him from these payments. Brown
got tired of paying in his money so
regularly. and it looked rs if there
would never be an end of the thing
This set him 10 thinking. and he email
ly learned that there was such thing
in Georgia as law against usury.
The Georgia law against usury. how
ever. permits the party aggrieved to

'Pcted. Prown. therefore. can sac only
for the interest he has rata Il. daring

together and statement Of the ac-
count was made. showing that he had
paid $3.50 usu"i0rs interest within the
last year. and that is the amount he is
now suing for. ......
