JUDGE SFEEIt’S USURY DECISION, j Another important ease has l>een j , decided Ly Judge Speer, involving j the rights of loan companies, doing business and charging agent’s lees, in this State, above the permitted rates of interest. The case was brought by the New England Mortgage Security company against Jacob McGay, and the decis- ion of Judge Speer was in accord with one previously made by him in | n similar case. This company, through the Corbin Ranking company and agents U1 j Georgia, has been iending money in i this state on land and has been charg ostensibly ... only . „ 8 cent. At .. I mg n J per • ' the , . lias withheld, same time it on a loan for five rears, 20 per cent, of tho amount for which the mortgage is taken, for agents’ fees, giving the borrower only 80 per cent. Judge Speer held that the charge of outrag eon-, commissions, as a device for add ing to tl, rates of interest, was usuri cus. This is the third time this question lias come up recently—twice before the circuit court of the United States, and once before the supreme court of Georgia. In tho latter court, the lender won, while both cases in the former were gained by the borrower The difference in the decisions, how ever, may be accounted for by a dif¬ ference in the proof, the only ques tion being, whether intermediaries were audits *f the mortgagor or mortgagee. 1 he amount, of money that is in 1 - volvcd in tins question renders it an important one, and it will not be cun sidered settled til! passed on by supreme court of the United States. The decision of this question wiil greatly affect tho case of borrowing money in Georgia, as its decision in favor of the mortgagee will, to a great extent, interfere with lending money on fui lit lands.

It is certainly fair to assume that what Hood’s Sarsaparilla has douo for other’ r t vr'i do for you. Therefore, if you suffer the pains and aches of rheumatism, give this potent remedy a fair trial.
