THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 18, 1896
MAY BE A SENSATION.
Judge Lumpkins’ Decision Will
Revolutionize Loans.
The following decision handed
down by Judge Lumpkin, of the
supreme bench of Georgia, will
probably have the effect to place a
great deal of litigation in the
courts in the immediate future.
The language on its face and its
construction will have a tendency
to revolutionize the matter of loans
between loan companies and bor
rowers who have paid legal rates
of interest and fees to an agent
for its negotiation. Here it is:
Pottle vs. Lowe et al. Before
Judge Hart. Jones supe
rior court.
Lumpkin, J. —1. A loan of money
made in consideration jf the max
imum legal rate of interest and
one-half of the commissions
charged by a third person for ne
gotiating the loan, is usurious;
and, under such circumstances, it
is immaterial whether the third
person is the agent of the° lender
or of the borrower, or of both.
2. A deed executed by a borrow
er under section 1969 et seq. of the
code, to secure a debt infected
with usury, and purporting not
only to convey title to the lender,
but also to confer upon the latter
a power of sale, is absolute void,
and therefore ineffectual to pass
title or to create a valid power of
sale.
“3. The grantee in such a deed
cannot, either as holder of the le
gal title or as hi 3 attorney in
fact, make a valid conveyance,
even to an innocent purchaser
without notice of the usury.
4. Uuder the facts disclosed
by tho recoru the verdict for the
plaintiffs was manifestly contrary
to law.
Judgment revorsed.
Hardeman, Davis & Tumor and
Richard Johnson, for plaintiff is
error.
Dessau, Bartlett & Ellis, R. V.
Hardemau and Robert Hodges
contra.
A number of Rome’s leadiug
lawyers were interviewed on the
subject and so grave is the import
and so far reaching is the probable
result that they would not give any
expressions for publication. The
apparent effect will be to cause
writs of ejectment to be issued in
case original borrowers desire to
plead usury.
It will in all probability cause
much trouble throughout Georgia,
as thousands of farms have been
sold under deeds covered by this
decision, which deeds are no more
and no less than mortgages. It
may also have the effect to go into
every county in the Union, as
these loan companies have agents
everywhere. To illustrate:
If A wants one thousand dollars
from the loan company he g es to
B, their agent. B says yes I can
get you the money at 8 per cent
but for the trouble of negotiating
the matter I charge you 10 per
cent, or one hundred dollars. A,
the borrower, pay’s B the 10 per
cent aud gets nine hundred dollars
and gives a deed for one thousand
dollars at 8 per cent interest, and

through strokes ot misfortune, bad
management, etc, he can’t pay
back the Loan company sells his
property to an innocent purchaser
to another and so on. Now under
the above decision A, or tl e origi
nal borrower, can plead usury and
got back his property. At any
rate this is the appearance of the
decision.
The outcome will be watched
with much interest. There have
been, probably, from twenty to fif
ty such sales made here in Floyd
county and thousands throughout
the state and tens of thousands all

less a review is taken by the Geor

The Companion Calendar.
It is said that the expense of
making the Companion Art Calen
dar for 1897 was so great that had
it been published in the usual
quantity it could not be sold for
less than one dollar. Four beau
tiful female figures are reproduced
on four folding pages. Each figure
is lithographed in twelve colors )
being a true reproduction of the
original water-color painting which
w r as selected because of its excel
lence of design and charm of color
and tone . The size of each of the
four folding pages is 10| by 6
inches.
It is by far the best piece of col
or work the Companion has ever
offered. Both as a calendar and
as a gem of the lithographer’s art,
it is so attractive that it becomes
a valuable addition to the mantel
or centre-table of any room. It is
given free to all new subscribers
sending $1.75 to the Companion
for the year 1897, who receive also
the paper free from the time the
subscription is received till Janu
ary 1, 1897.
Celebrating in 1897 its seventy
first birthday, the Companion of
fers its readers many exceptionally
brilliant features. Fully two hun
dred of the most famous men and
women of both continents have
contributed to the next year’s vol
ume of the paper. For free Illus

Amusing Incident Arising From
tne Grasshopper Remedy.
“I was riding along a mountain
road in eastern Kentucky a few
weeks ago,” remarked a travelling
salesman to a Washington Star
reporter, “when I saw a mule run
ning toward me with a single-tree
dangling at his heels. With great
difficulty I succeeded in turning
out of his way aud he continued to
go down the mountain at a lively
pace.
“About a mile further on I saw
two front wheels of a spring wagon
and a short distance away the oth
er wheels and the wagon box. I
looked around to see if the driver
had been hurt but, finding no one
drove on.
“In a few minutes I met a man
walking down the road rather has
tily. ‘Stranger,’ he queried, ‘did
yo’ see a mewl down thar?”
“Yes.”
“Did he hev a rag over ’is ear?”
“I didn’t see any.”
“Waal, its all right. I reckon
’e’ll stop when he gots llustered
out, an’ I reckon ’e’s cured.”
“What is he cured of, I asked.
“Balkin’. Yo’ see, I had heerd
that a grasshopper put in tli’ year
o’ boss or mewl ’ed cure ’im from
balkin’, so I tied a rag over th’
critter’s year so it couldn’t git out
cotched a grasshopper, put ’im in,
an’ stranger, its th’ bes’ remedy I
ever seed. Th’ mewl didn’t giv me
time to git in the wagon. I never
did see a mewl so sprightly. I
reckon th’ hopper’s got out now,
an’ I’ll go on an’ cotch th’ mewl.”

A Cruel Remark.

She —Is it not wonderful how

Georgia Monuments.
It is expected that contracts will
soon be completed for the erection
of the Georgia monument at Chick
amauga. The design is elaborate,
beautiful and imposing. The base
will be about thirty feet and the
height about sixty-five feet. It
will be the most costly monument
on the park, the total expense
reaching $20,000. It will proba
bly be erected on the lines of Bate’s
and Benning’s brigades on the open
field east of the Poe house and just
far enough from the LaFayette
road to properly show its propor
tions. Both of these brigades con
tained Georgia troops, Benning’s
being all Georgians, and their bat
tle lines intersect on the Poe field.
The New York monument now
being put up at Orchard Knob is
one of the most artistic yet sent
to the field by any state. It is of
granite and bronze. The height is
forty-seven feet and the cost about
$14,000.
Now York is preparing a monu
ment of similar dimension for a
site near the Craven house.
A handle factory and general
wood working plant will be remov
ed from New York state to Tren
ton within the next few weeks,
probably, even now the machinery
is being loaded upon the cars.
That Trenton has secured this
plant is due to the efforts of Pro
fessor Welch, who has prepared
and had printed a pamphlet on the
resources of Dade county.
In the year 1834 Captain A. S.
Allen, then a small boy on his
father’s farm near Zebulon, Ga.,
stuck a mulberry sprout in the
ground. At that time the sprout
was not larger than a lead pencil
and had been used by the boy as
an ox goad. Today it is a tree al
most nineteen feet in circumfer
ence at a distance of two feet from
the ground, and is said to be the
largest mulberry tree in Georgia.
