Save trouble and worry by remitting
what you owe.-Charlotte News,
The News is right, and THE GLOBE is
glad to see North Carolina paper which
has backbone enough to assert itself and
sit down ON the numerous elegant dead
beats who have solved the problem OF
living without labor, and who hang, like
dead weight, on every town and village
in the state
The lengths to which many Of these
professional gentle men of leisure are al
low ed to go, ard that too among people
who know them to be arrogant, worth.
less and dishonest, is really marvellous
when we consider the number of good
business houses they have caused to fail,
and the honest men, who were deluded
into trusting them, who have been pushed
to the wall by just such creatures.
Take it here in Durham, for instance,
and there is hardly a man doing business
in the town but what has thousands of
dollars on his books against, as he will
confidently assure you, the "best citizens
in town." but who have for him, when
the bill long past due is presented, moth
ing but insolence and scorn. Another
class is pleasant and persuasive, and is
always going to fix it tomorrow. But
the tomorrow never comes, and so year
in and year out the same old excuse is
trotted out and furnished up, until the
collector, in fit of desperation, either
attempts to insult him by making him a
present Of it or desists in his efforts from
sheer disgust.
There have been few failures in Dur
ham the past three years, but in the case
of those which have had to throw up their
hands, it has simply been history repeat
ing itself. Their books told the story
the story of the fatal credit system, of
the deliberate dishonesty of alleged gen.
tility in contracting debts which they
never intended to pay-a confidence
game which they successfully played
upon an unsuspecting neighbor.
Ask S. r. PERRY.
Ask M. B. WYATT.
Ask JOHN W. MARKHAM.
Ask MICHAELs, ask SLATER, ask
FISHER, ask any of them who have ever
gone to the wall, and they will tell that
the reason they failed was because they
believed their customers TO be honest
and trusted them
And when you ask why they persist in
such 1uinous practices, they tell you that
if they do not sell them goods others will,
and they will lose their trade.
What logic!
But then, a man is supposed to know
his own business, and it is understood |
that he will "catch on" after so long a |
time, provided he does not get done I'D |
in the meantime
And so it happens that the collection |
agency scheme is being re5or;ed to, and |
he blacklist inaugurated
Newspapers, which suffer more than |
any other branch of business, and which |
are the victims of all the genteel frauds |
and dead beats in the country, are at last |
earning to meet them as they should be
net, and the News proposes to be one of
he pioneers in the fight for safer and
better system. For this it should be gen.
orally Endorsed, and its example followed.
