RETAIL MERCHANTS
May Organise 10 Protect themselves
Against Wholesale Dealers
AnguiIla, Miss. May ~, 1907.


Anguilla, Miss, May ~, 1907.
Glad indeed am to note the agI-..
tafion of the subject and the move
now being made for the protection
OF the retail merchant, who Tor so
long has meekly submitted TO Inn
position from the so-called whole
sale merchants in the larger towns
doing business in the Mississippi
Delta, who not only sell indiscrim-
inately at retail, at wholesale prices
to such as apply and are able to
pay, but openly and urgently solicit
orders from small consumers, send
ing out hired men for the purpose,
in defiance of the rights of the retail
merchants, who seek to do legiti-
mate business by taking out licenses,
paying taxes, etc And if properly
supported and reasonably protected,
would be in position to more lib
orally lend a helping band to those
who find themselves in need.
Why so many merchants who set
themselves up to conduct a whole
sale business would SO compromise
their dignity with no increase of
profit. / am unable to comprehend.
For, to change their methods and
thereby inspire the confidence OF the
merchants in the country and small
Ter towns whose business comes
within their territory, there should
be a natural increase of business for
them and at the same time enable
them to eliminate many expensive
details that attend the fling of nu-
merous small orders and shipping
out to various points in the county.
With how much better grace
would it be for the wholesale mer-
chants to come together. voluntarily
and agree to give rightfI protection
to the retail merchants rather than
wait until it is brought to
an issue and the retail dealers
forced to organize and form pro-
tective association at the risk of dis
rupting pleasant business relations
that should be desirable to maintain

BLIND TIGERS
Rev. George R. Stuart, Evangelist
Deals Forcibly With This Bad
Animal

A blind tiger is recognized to be
liquor shop run in a dry town con-
trary to law and III defiance of law.
1t is claimed that when saloons
are abolished III any community |
more liquor will be sold by blind tig-
ers than was originally sold by the i
licensed saloon. DID it ever occur to-
"a man who is in favor of law and or
der, as against lawlessness and anar-
chy, what this claim includes? OF
course it will be readily admitted by
every reasonable man that if the law
IS enforced they cannot exist, because
they are in open violation OF the
law. To admit, then, that they would
exist, or can exist, is to admit that
our officers are inefficient or our
| laws are inefficient If our officer is
| inefficient, it must be admitted that
he either has not the elements and
qualifications for a good officer or
that he IS perjured man and lives
| d perjured life. If he is an efficient
man and cannot detect blind tiger,
where men go in and out at all times
OF the day and all times OF the night,
and often in such condition of i'm
toxication as to expose themselves
! and their partners in vice, and often
carrying out with them bottles and
other bundles easily detected, how
could we expect him to detect bur
glar, or robber, or gambler. or any
/ other vicious character. who keeps
| sober. works late at night, is sharp
and careful, and understands his
business
| To every reasonable man it must
appear much more difficult to detect
gamblers, counterfeiters. burglars,
robbers, and other dangerous charac-
tiers in a community than to detect
blind tigers for several reasons.
/ Blind tigers must have large num-
Der of patrons if they do much busi-
! ness They must have a very low,
ignorant. and vicious class of patrons
They must have a class of patrons
/ who are. not equally responsible with
themselves They must have a class
of patrons who become intoxicated
and let out secrets: who. in case of
iItoxication. expose their bottles
and packages. talk loud. and in many
/, other ways enable competent man
to detect the blind tiger; and if the
blind tiger is suspected and raided, a
quantity of liquors must be found.
If they are poured out. the smell will
