"It you are in need of money come
to u.; we can make you loana In reos
onable sums, without security, and
upon «uch term, that even a man of
most modest salary will feel no in-
convenience."
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
