Mr. Editor : T noticed so advertisement in your paper br Dr. Aold, asking for sub? scriptions to a new Building and Loan Asso? ciation to be organized, and I bare seen tbs "Prospectos" issued by bim. We bare no better institutions from a financial standpoint than a properly planned building and loan, and we need a new one in Sumter to begin just DOW, as "the People's" is aboot wound np. I do not think Dr. Acid's plan is ex? actly what we want, and I would respectful? ly suggest to bim and to the people some al? terations in the plan The People's now closing its affairs called itself a 6 per cent. B. k L , bot this was o?ly in name. It did not ro operate. It operated upon a much higher rate of interest, which was doe to the premium. You borrowed $200 per share, only in name, and gave your bond and mortgage for that amount, bt?t you only received at frost (wben there was oo competition in bidding) $150 per ?hare. So it was not a 6 per cent. BAL. Neither is Dr. Auld's pro8pectu? a 6 per cent, for the same reason, namely the premium to be charged. Both "The Somter" and "The People's" have bad their law suits arising out of com? plaints of usurious ioterest charged. It is only surprising that there were not more. It speaks well for the members of both that there were not more law suits. There is no doubt that the courts of our State have universally held that no matter what you write io the bond and mortgage, if the borrower pays a greater rate of interest on the actual amount received thao is allowed by law, no interest can be collected, and double the usurious in? terest must be paid back as a penalty. This is the law, and why not organize on a plan where nc usurious interest can be charged, no matter bow great tbe demand of the un? fortunate applicant who needs money. Dr. Auld's pion is as follows : Tbe association i8 to be composed of 1,000 or more shares. Stockholders are to pay $1 per month on each share, before borrowing. A loan of $100 will be made on each share and interest oo same will be charged at rate of six per cent, per annum, oeing $6 on e-cb share per year or 50 ceo ts per month. This will make the monthly payments on each share after borrowing $1.50. Toe money will be ?-old to the highest bidder. The sale to tbe "highest bidder" is wbat spoils the 6 per cent Bot the borrower mast pay 6 per cent, on $100 no matter what he gets Does anybody believe that in tbe face of competi? tion, and in a country where money loans readily at eight per cent, that stockholders will be allowed to get the foii som of $100 I per share ? Tbe borrower will get from $60 to $75 and pay o* per on $100. Was there ever a time in this city where individuals could borrow money for less than eight per cent from individuals, banks or even a so called 6 per cent B k L. One other feature is, I think, objectionable. Dr. Auld's prospectus is that the as-octation shall run until each share shall be worth tte sum of $100. This i? like the old plans of ? The Somter" and "Tbe People's," wbtcb were <o run until they reached a valuation of $200 per share They loaned $200 per ehareV (so-called;, instead cf ?100, as proposed ty Dr Auld. But did they ever reach such a valuation ? No ; for tbe reason that one of the premium borrowers .kicked out o harness. Several stockholders' meetings bad to be held. Bot debates ensured wheo Goally, it ?as proposed to wind up on an equitable basis long before $200 valuation waa ever reached We do not want this again, and yet with Dr. Auld plan it is sure to follow. Those who borrowed at a very high rate of ipreroom are still out in the cold. S'X per cent? No. never I Reach * valuation of $100 per share ? never 1 Piemiua- borrowers wonld kick out or go into court under pleas of usury. I like to call a sp id ea spade Still another obj?ctional feature. Once your neck is in tbe baiter it is hardly possible to get it out, except by continuing to the end or the equitable wiod ap. Sometimes a borrower would like to pa/ op bib mortgage at once, or sell bis property when the purchaser would perhaps object to being fastened in a B k L's. uncertain duration. Nor would he known' bow to fix tbe price of his property. They say you ?io get out by substituting a borrow, paying difference in premium ?cc. But it is not easily done. Bere is a plan it seems to me which is oot only jost and fair to all but which is so sim? ple that "anyone" may understand, and tbe ioterest is fixed and certain. Tbe value of a share to $100. Loans to be made of $100, not less, no premium, $1 per share per month to be paid in on stock, to ron until the association shall reach a valuation by the accu? mulation of stock aod interest of $100, charge the borrower 8. per cent oo tbe $100 from tbe time be borrows it and thereafter his due* will be $!.66? per monto, including stock and interest. Permit ?armers or others who may desire to do to to pay io advance, allowing a proper discount. There can be no usorv Ice, no cloud to annoy stockholders tn efforts to make equit? able adjustment. Let the borrower out at anytime be may see proper to pay back his S1C0 and then mark bis mortgage paid and restore to bim his stock fully alive. Tbe borrower here bas bad tbe use of tbe $100, he bas paid tbe lawful rate of interest on it, wbicb is all the law requires But it is asked how w41l you serve applica? tions. We answer according Miller's mle, First come first served, if application is not turned down for, lack of sufficient security. You cannot please every body even with the miller's rule. When a boy waiting a the miil, I used to try tolarno se myself going fisbinp, bathing, kc, while waiting to be serv? ed aod sometimes had a tedious long wait, but I have never doubted to this day, but that it waga fair and jest role Now this would be an eigbt per ceot. B. k L. and mean what it says : Let me suggest therefore, that Dr. Auld nxbke the change suggested or call a meeting of subscribers and citizens together to COD s;der plans for organizing a oew association. The abo^e plao wbicb I have proposed bas worked well io Columbia, aod I believe is prefered there to tbe plan offered by Dr. Auld. Respectfully Dec. 3, 1897. A. B. STOCKBY. ^r? i i -?!--?
