 Hon. John P. Stokes. one of the mem- bers from this county to the Legisla- ture, has taken up the matter actively in this city and anounces 1t his inten- tion of carrying 1t before the Legisla- ture and introducing a bill which will drive this class of business from the State. In Pensacola there are about dozen loan officers, and 1t is charged that in some instances on a loan of $10 that $100 has been collected in interest and at the end the furniture and per sonal effets have been seized for fail ure to pay the principal amount. as interest had eaten up all of the moneys paid into the loan company offices. MT. Stokes declares that the business as conducted in Pensacola is dis grace, and that ignorant workingmen and their families are sufferers to an extent that 1t has become public nec esGity to drive the business out of that city.
