Ever get a proposition like that from a so-called boha fide, falr-and-square, on the level and strictly-above-board money lending concern when you were "down and out" and felt like a small loan might alleviate condition, and put you once more on your feet financially? And did you ever accept the propo sition and take a small loan "without security and upon such terms that even the man of most modest salary will feel no Inconvenience?" If you have, probably you will turn to another page with a heavy sigh and read something more attractive, re~ member!ng that you have the weekly Interest to pay next Saturday on that 110, $16 or 626 you borrowed some thing over one year, or two years ago. That Awful Intere.t, And perhaps In the meantime you've paid out something like $100 Interest trying to get In hailing distance of the principal, which Is as large now as It was when you borrowed It without "security or Indorsement." But It's no use getting hot around the collar. You needed the money and $1 or $2 per week Interest seemed to be a small matter for the first month or two. Then something happened, The wife or the baby got elck and the doctor had to be paid; the house rent fell due nnd the bill collector for the grocery storp dropped around and cas ually Inquired It you were ready to settle up. And a hundred other things you were not looking for came to pass, all of which blocked the way of paying that money lender's note when It came duo atu) the Interest went on, until you paid several times the sum you origi nally borrowed. One Woman’s Story, few days ago a woman timidly entered the office of a lawyer In At lanta The lines of care were traced deeply on her countenance and the grim specter of poverty and want shad owed her every step. The man of law turned to Inquire the object of her visit. "About two years ago,” she began hesitatingly, "I borrowed a small sum of money from a- money-lender, thought I could pay It back In a little while even though the Interest did seem rather large, hut I have never got enough money ahead to pay any thing but the Interest. I have paid over $100 Interest and now they threaten to take the little furniture that I have unless It's paid up. I want to know If there Is any way to have It stopped." She was told that there was only one way to stop It and that was to pre fer a charge of usury and prove It, which would probably Incur as much cost as tho debt amounted to. 'It Is remarkable how many of these cases come under my observation," remarked the attorney. “People In At lanta who have borrowed money un der those conditions, thinking at the time that It would be easy to pay back, are feeling the relentless grasp of the money shark and every week are pay ing hundreds of dollars Into their pock ets without getting any nearer the principal than they were the day they jorrowed It. 'There Is a vast difference," he con tinued. “between the money lender who does a legitimate business—who lends money at reasonable rates and demands security—nnd the shark who professes to be In the money lending business fop your especial benefit, and who charges a rate of Interest so ex tortionate that a business man would stand aghast. “Ordinarily, ahd It Is practically an Invariable rule, the money shark who I. In that kind of business will not lend money to any but a laboring man who makes Just about enough money to support his family and to pay the Interest demanded every week. Don't W.nt Principal. "The rfason? They don't want the principal paid. The business Is too profitable. To collect anywhere from two to ten to twenty times the original sum In Interest makes the money lend er rich, and that's why he Is business. If the interest were reasonable the debt would soon be paid. Then where would the profit be? Easy proposition, Isn't It?" t'aptain John B. Monaghan, assistant to Solicitor Hill, of the superior court, was asked to what extent he had ob served the practices of the money shark during his connection with the solic itor's olfice. "I have one case In mind,” said Cap tain Monaghan, “which exactly Illus trates the propoeltlon that a person is up ugnlnst when he gets In the clutches of a money chark. "A few yeara ago a negro woman borrowed some money from a money lending concern In Atlantn. She paid interest on It until she had to move away to keep out of bankruptcy. The day she moved another negro woman moved In the house and that night an agent of the concern went to the house with a wagon and two bailiffs and,-In spite of the protest of the woman that she had never borrowed anything from them, they demanded the amount due. about $11, or threatened to take her furniture. A negro man was staying In (he house nnd because he tried to explain the situation they put hand cuffs on him and started to the Jail. In order to keep out of jail the man and woman paid the bill. The .next day they snore nut a warrant for thg agent of the concent and he was compelled to refund the money. Extortion From Negroee. 'That case Involved negroes,” said Captain Monaghan, "but they are not alone the victims of these sharks.
