§ 75-13-1. Assignment.
 

Any note, or other writing which may be assigned under any of the provisions of Chapter 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code shall, when so assigned in the manner therein provided, carry with the assignment for the benefit of the assignee all liens and other securities securing the same, and the holder may fully enforce the said benefit in any proper proceeding in law or in equity. A claim for the purchase money of land, or any other claim, secured by a legal or equitable lien in or on realty, may be assigned in writing and thereupon have the full benefit of this section. Provided, however, as to all promissory notes, and other writings for the payment of money or other thing, except such notes or writings that are payable to order or bearer, when assigned, the assignee or indorsee of such promissory notes or other writings not payable to order or bearer, may maintain such action thereon, in his own name, as the assignor or indorser could have maintained. In all actions on such assigned promissory notes not payable to order or bearer, bill of exchange or other writing, for the payment of money or other thing not payable to order or bearer, the defendant shall be allowed the benefit of all want of lawful consideration, failure of consideration, payments, discounts and setoffs made, had or possessed against the same, previous to notice of assignment in the same manner as though the suit had been brought by the payee. The assignee or indorsee of any such instrument not payable to order or bearer may maintain an action against the person, or persons, who may have indorsed the same as in case of inland bills of exchange.
