O.OC
The lender In his desire to COM
ply with the law handed the negro
S25 in cash. The victim experienced
the delight of holding all the money
ia hand at one time, fondling it
proudly for Aeeting moment and
In his ignorance maybe thinking the
lender was going to let him have it
all. But the illusion lasted for not
more than half minute.
You owe me S22, which I shall
credit to your account" explained
the lender suavely, and he proceed.
ed then and there to take back S22
and 70 enter the credit on the note.
Yes, he was very careful not to
violate the law.
On the face the joint note and
mortgage looked plain and fair
enough. The paper apparently oov-
cred loan of S25, with interest af-
ter maturity only at the rate of 8
per cent. and with charge Of $3.50
as attorneys fee for drawing the
mortgage added as part of the
debt. But as a matter of fact, con-
tinues Mr.. Sherard, Martin received
only SO and bound himself to pay in
return $3.50 in ninety days.
When the note fell due the negro
wss in no better condition financial
ly than he was at the beginning.
Foreclosure proceedings were threat
ened. Ten per cent additional,
amounting to SIS cents, was tackled
on the Indebtedness as attorneys
fee as the note provided, and the
negro's white employer paid off the
obligation to keep Martins house
hold goods from being seized under
process Of law.
The negro paid s6.O5 for the loan
of SO for ninety days! AS an IL
lustration OF his utter lack of fore
sight he went back, in thirty days
and made another loan. Frequently
in the case of larger loans the notes
are renewed from time to time AMI
the game of evtortion Is thus long
and painfully drawn out.
The Greenville News says this
story so cleverly written by MIR.
Sherard is typical one--one that
has its parallel not only in Green
vile but in many other South Caro-
lima towns and cities. Many negroes
and poor whites borrow small
amounts ranging generally from So
to $40. A loan Of SIS calls for a
fee of $3.50 for drawing the mort
gsge; a $40 loan can be had for the
fee of So; and SO it goes with frills
and variations, on up the scale till
the limit is soon reached. When
they want money they will sign any
kind of note or chattle mortgage
and so it goes; the commercial
scavengers'' = these constituencies
business buzzards-living and thriv-
ing upon the weak and unfortunate.
The case Of the Anderson negro
shows how the law is evaded, and
gives altogether a pretty clear in
sight into the iniquity of the sys-
tenn.

TALKS OF LOAN SHARKS

Mayor j. L. sherard, Of Anderson,
Tells Of Concrete Case That
Occurred In That City.

Occurred In That City.
The loan shark who has fourished
for years in many Southern towns
and cities. Is the text of most con-
else communication in the New York
Sun by Mayor J.. L. Sherard of An
derson. In the presentation of his
facts Mayor Sherard cities concrete
case, that of a negro who is an en-
ploye of the city of Anderson. Here
is the story as told by Mayor Sher-
ard:
Will Martin, an illlterate negro
lahorer. was working as a member Of
the Anderson street gang at 80 cents
day. His mother became i'll and
needed medical attention. Martin
had no money to pay for it and ac-
cordingiy made application for a
loan. He chuck!ed over the ease
and simplicity with which the trans
action wes completed.
II seemed easy money indeed.
But the face Of the note and mort
gage was not for SO. The sum
therein stated was $3.50, it being
stipulatel in the mortgage that the
was SIS lent and $3.50
fee for drawing the paper.
The mortgage was secured by two
oak belsteads SIS each; one oak
dresser $40: one cook stove SIS; one
sewing machine SIS; and all other
goods" The security was
entirely ample to protect the debt.
On the back Of the note, endorsed
in the handwriting of the lender,
statement Of the debt
that explains just how the law is
being evaded. It Is as follows:

MORTAGE CASE
IS DECIDED

e A decree by judge Of the First Cir
cult dissolving temporary injunction
and Diminishing a bill to restrain fore
closure, in the suit of Emma f. War
rem VS.. Akala Nahea and others, is sus-
timed in a unanimous opinion of the
Supreme Court written by Chief Jus
tice Hartwell, the syllabus reading
thus:
"A bill TO restrain foreclosure OF a
mortgage on the ground that the mort
gage debt had been paid is properly
dismissed upon finding sustained by
evidence that payments of interest in
advance had been made to include a
period within ten years.
Interest was over eight years in ar
rears. Plaintiff contended that the
right to foreclose was barred as more
than ten years had elapsed since the
last payment on4the mortgage. -a
The mortgage was of land, cattle
horses and mules made May 6, 1898, by
ID. w. Pae and Maleana, his wife, to Sc
cure payment of a note Of $lO15 ?,
with interest at per cent payable

DOINGS AROUND
POLICE COURT
MRS. MARBLES EENTENCE is sUS-
PENDED Ar REQUEST OF RAPID
TRANSIT COMPANY.

Much to the surprise Of those pres
ent in the police court this morning the
Rapid Transit Company asked that the
sentence of Mrs. Markle, who plead
guilty to stealing copper wire from
that concern be suspended. The re-
quest was granted by Judge Andrade,
The reason given for the action was
that the woman was poor and had a
large family to support, upon whom
the penalty would have fallen far more
heavily than ON the woman herself.
Three Japanese who were working
on their fishing sampan at the foot OF
Alakea street yesterday were arrested
on charge of violating the Sunday law
When brought up in court this morn
ing they were unable to convince Judge
Andrade that the work was one of ne
cessity and were fined s. each and or
dered to pay costs of court.
George Mclean sailor on the Bril-
fish vessel Dolbadarn Castle, is in the
police station, charged with threaten
ing to kill Second Mate Ivor Griffiths.
He had few drinks too many on Sat
urday and as the result got rather OBJ
streprous and decided to clean out the
vessel. When turned over to the
police he made the usual charges of the
| sea lawyer, that he had been badly
| treated throughout the voyage, the
