Usury Law*.
The Sparta Iahmalite is down
usury laws, which it considers to be
OM of the greatest obstacle* to the rap
id derelopxnent of any State. It takes
the broad ground, Srst, that money is
commodity, and like anything else, is
subject to the lawi of supply and de
mand, and therefore if a capitalist
get a certain price therefore it is legiti
mate for him to sell it to the highest
bidder. Second, that no eensible rca
son can be girts for snehlaws, sin
no honorable man, after agreeing
pay a certain ram of money at a par
ticular time and for a particular price,
would decline to do so because the
price be agreed to give for it was high
er than that allowed by law.
The Savannah Times adds, that
there is undoubtedly a good deal
position of the Iahmalite. The spirit
and object of the usury laws ai
tainly good. They sre passed
the benevolent idea that money is al
most as essential to the life of a u
as are food aad air, and that it is 1
just aad contrary to the interests of
ciety for thi§ mo*t needful article to bo
held at eo high a figure as to deprive
the ordinary mortal who has not been
fortunate enoifgh to accumulate it,
from its use. Bat the great troublo
with many usury laws is that they
nearly always inoperative and imprac
ticable. A farmer, for instance, needi
money to be need in hie business, and
must have it. He applies to
who has laid up the commodity and
agrees to give satisfactory security for
what be wants, and to pay usurious
interest therefor. He knows that year
by year he will still be obliged to bor
row, and if he refnses to pay his loan
on the time for which it is' made,
the plea of usnry, he will be effectually
cut off from any future accommoda
tions. So he finds that it pays him
better to stand the extortion than to
make any disturbance about it, and,
after all, it would be improper for him
to decline t > live up to his part of the
contract. He has entered into that
nontraet with hie eyes open and with
full undents ading of the law, and he
should therefore, strictly speaking, not
attempt, after he has secured that for
which be was in search, to evade the
payment of what is really an honors
ble obligation.
Usury and extortion are undoubtedly
great curses, and no offence is more
bitterly denounced or more boldly spok
en against in Holy Writ than these.
The injury they work may be clearly
seen in any portion of the interior of
this State where men have to give'
clad mortgages as a security for money
and then have to pay all the way from
om to two aad two and ahalf per
per month for its use. This is why
our I amen are generally hard put
it to make both end* meet, while the
money lender waxes fat and rich. The
profits which would remain with the
farmer under amors equitable condi-
. tion of things, passes from him into
the capacious pocket of his money lend
er, to whom be becomes a hewer of
wood and drawer of water. This
groat hardship, but one which usury
laws utterly failed to prevent.
Notwithstanding all this, we
prepared to advocate the total abolition
of such laws. There intent is benefi
eial, and they do eome good, while
they cannot possibly do any harm. The
safe rule for Aimers to adopt, however,
is to borrow as little money as possi
ble, give as few mortgages as be can,
“leura to do without many things he
is not obliged to have," be very eco
nomical and endeavor to be hie own
capitalist. Then, with or without us
ury laws, he can make rapid headway

The Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue, in a conversation with a stamp
collector the other day, warned him
that It is criminal to be found in pos
session of revenue stamps which have
not been effectually mutilated. He
said that there is scarcely a smoker in
the oonatry that does not lay himself
liable to prosecution for having stamps
that have not been eoncelled nnlaw-
felly in hie possession. Stafnp collec
tors float be oontert to do without in

Important Meeting.
A meeting of the Stockholders of
the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin
Railroad will be held in this city to
day, at the Peoples National Bank on
Lamar street. A Board of Directors
will be chosen to manage the affairs of
the company for the next twelve
months, with the aid of the President
whom they will elect. Speaking of this
meeting, the Lntnpkin Independent
haa this to say: Col. Hawkins will be
successor, there seems to be no
doubt, it appearing to be the universal
opinion here that he justly deserves an
unanimous re-election as a token of |
appreciation for the able and un
tiring mainer in which ho has advanc
ed the irterests of the road. Col.
Hawkins has labored without ceasing
and bis whole heart is devoted to the
labor in which he is engaged. It is
his ambition to bnihl and maintain a
narrow-guage road from Americas to
Lumpkin that will be owned and opera
ted by the people who build it, and it
will be bis aim and desire to always
keep it an independent road not own-
controlled by auy grasping
monopoly or clique or bond holders.
He has given the road Ins time and his
talents and that he has faith in its lin-
ial success is clearly shown by the
U1>eral manner in which he invest
money. We trust that onr cit
fully appreciate Col. Hawkin'* etl'orts

Very High Praise.
The New York Evening Post analy-
s the appointments in the diploma-
i and consular service, which have
been made by the present Administra-
and finds that, in all, seventy ap
pointments of various sorts have been
made, of which thirty-eight have been
from the North and thirty-two from
’the Solid S«nth.” This, it says, al
most exactly answers to the relative
populations of the two sections, while
the wiping out of the old sectional lines
this branch of the Government
from the reproach of representing hut
le part of the country.
The Post finds, also, that a com pari -
o between the early weeks of the
Garfield and Cleveland administrations
actually shows a greater number of
changes in the consular service under
Garfield than under the Democratic
President. Instead of there being any
indecent haste in making proper
changes, no less than nine «.f the thirty
foreign missions remain to be filled by
the new regime. Thus far, only twen
ty-nine consuls have been appointed,
while about thirty-seven changes in
■ueb offices were made during Gar-
fields brief term.
This is a very flattering result, and

or nosTO* women.
It is a strange fact that with the
progress of civilization there come al
ways two different and distinct rcsnlts.
First t ho intercourse between
women becomes easier and pleasanter;
second, there is a tendency on the part
of both men and women to separate
their interests and even their pleasures.
A certain portion of the day and of( and
the evening is given up to common
pleasures, but there is a large part of
each day when men and women prefer
to be apart. 1 think myself it is a
good thing, and so long as what sepa
rate the sexes in their distinctive duties
it is well enough. But among the
growing leisure class in the east who
nave no duties these hours of separa
tion are devoted to amusement. You
would be astonished to know how
many society women io New York and
Boston both smoke and drink. To
have nothing to do is a curse to men,
but it is a deadly poison to women.
They are not, as a ruie, so capable* of
self amusement aa art men and they
prone, as in the matter of smoking
and drinking, to tamper with the
coarser “passe-temps” of the men.
©ot of this grows a boldness, a care
lessness about the matter of delicacies
of social lifa which is noticeable the
moment one touches the borders of so
ciety in Boston, New York or Wash
ington.—Boston Letter.

Scared to Death by n Cat.
“ ’Foro God I bcleevcs do cat scared
dat man to death,” said a witness be
fore a coroner’s jury in Atlanta tho
other morning.
Lewis Perkins, a negro, died sudden
ly. Ho was apparently a stout, healthy
negro. Saturday evening he quit work
at tho usual hour, • and after drawing
his pay went home. IIo ato a hearty
supper and passed the evening talking
to tbo family. When bed-time came he
retired. Ho slept on a pallet on the
floor in tho samo room with a colored
man named Sntton. Ho slept soundly
until about three o'clock, when he
awoke the other occupants of tho room
by giving utterance to tho most piteous
groans and calling londly for help.
Sutton sprang from his beu and has
tened to the pallet while bis wife made

his general apbcaranco indicated that
ho was terribly frightened. Sutton
placed his hand under Perkins’ head
and raising him up asked:
“What’s tho matter, Lewis?”
Perkins made several attempts to
apeak. His Jaws would move but his
tongue failed to do his bidding. Final
ly, however, he appeared to concen
trate his powers of speech, and with a
terrible effort uttered tho words:
“Cat, c-a-t, c-a—”
Before finishing tho last word his
eyes rolled about in his head. His
body gave one immense shako and he
fell hack dead. Early in life Perkins
