Should be Applied#
Our friends and the public know
that we have for tho last 22 years con

and wo will “win or die” on the field
in battle harness before wo will sur
render our banner on which is
written

Commander-in-Chief of the Le
gitimate

Business of Southwestern Ga.,
AMERICUS. CA.
This may not be modesty
at it is Business a) the same.
X R. 8.
There is no good reason why we
shouldn’t have a .Retailers' Protective
Association in Americus.
The preliminary steps taken a few
days ago to organize a board of trade in
Americue should receive,as they deserve,
every encouragement possible at the
hands of our citizens, for wherever they
are in existence (and there are but few
cities of tbe size and commercial Im
portance of Americus in the south with
out such an institution) such organiza
tions have resulted in good to the city in
various and numerous instances.
They are a good thing as far ns they
go, but they do not go quite far enough
When it comes to a matter of adjusting
unjust rates at the hands of a discrimi
nating railroad, rectifying excessive in
surance charges, etc., tho board of trade
manifests its usefulness.
But there is another organization
which is as much needed, and much more
of a protection to the retail merchants of
tlie city than tho board of trade would
bo.
It is what is termed the Retailers’ Pro
tective association, which exists in nu
merous cities both south and north, and
wherever organized they have proven
the wisdom of the mind which first sug
gested the idea of the retail merchants
banding together for the purpose of
avoiding being fleeced by a class of peo
ple who make it a business not to pay
their bills.
The small membership fee or monthly
dues necessary to defray the expenses of
such an organization would bo a mere
drop in the bucket to tbe amount which
would be saved to the members by such
an association.
To illustrate the workings df sucli an-
institntion the following will do as a
fair example.
A. applystoB. for the privilege of
running a monthly account, which is
granted.
The first month’s bill is promptly set
tled ; so is the next and the next, but the
following one is overlooked or forgot
ten. At any rate A ebanges his place of
trading and next visits Mr. C. desirous
of opening an account with bim.
Right here the direct benefits to he
derived from the Retailers Protective
Association manifest themselves.
Both Mr. B. and C. are members of
tbe same. Mr. B. la duty bound ,and Id
keeping with the spirit and intent of
the organization reports Mr. A. as a do
iinquent, and he is thus recorded in t
book kept at the headquarters of the
association for this purpose. Mr. C. re
fers to this book, before granting A. tbe
request made of him, and of course re
fuses him tbe credit asked for.
The same thing would ooonr, should
A apply to D, E, or F. or any other
member of tbe association,and he is thus
compelled to pay tbe bill be owes to B.
or content himself with tbe idea that
Me credit with the member* of the as
sociation Is and will stand Impaired
long as the first unpaid bill remains
again t him.
There Is no necessity of incurring any
extraordinary expense In the mainten
ance of tbe association. Two rooms at
the outside and perhaps one would suf
fice for all purposes.
A tboronghly reliable man would have
to be secured to attend to all the busi
ness affaire. Beooald, In addition to
looking after tbe books, also attend to
the collection of such bills as might be
placed in bia hands by the members of
tbe association against parties whose
names hsve been sent In as “delinquent”
and upon their continued refusal to
meet tbeir just obligations, put them on
tbe biaek list, which would and should
be used a* a final resort
Won't some of onr enterprising mer
chants take tbe matter in hand'.’

rounded the wholesale killing of dogs
near Sumter City, in this county, haa
been solved at last
Several days since Tub Times-Rkcok-
dkk published tbe fact of tbe killing of
scores of dogs In that locality by aome
beast urheard of before, who not only
seized an 1 tore them to shreds but de-
vouredthem on the spot
'Great alarm was created throughout
the neighborhood, and hunting parties
were organized to chase tbe strange an
imal and if possible to kill It. The
woods were scoured in every dlrectiou
but tho mysterious beast could not bo
found.
But the onslaught upon tlie dogs con
tinues, and more than a hundred hounds,
coon dogs and terriers have gone to fill
the maw of this rapacious beast. The
neighborhood is In a ferment of excite
ment, and the dog market is away up
out of sight.
The monster, whatever it is, boldly
attacks yard dogs right in their mas
ter’s doorway, and ao fearless is It that
only a night or two sinoe a coon dog
that was following a negro to church
was seized upon and torn to pieces and
devoured upon the spot. This fact Is
substantiated by tbe dog’e owner, who
la a class leader In tbe church.
A welt known gentleman from that
neighborhood wae in Americus yester
day, and to a Timks-Kfcobdkr reporter
gave a few additional facts about tbe
case which may serve to throw some
light upon it Tho strange beast, he
says, It nothing more nor less than a
fierce and wild byeoa.
Last Friday a fisherman saw the terri
ble monster as it came down the bank
on tbe opposite side of tbe creek to
drink. The man was very much fright
ened, but dared not run until the ani
mal finished drinking and bad slipped
back into the almost impenatrcble jun
gle that stretches up and down the
stream for miles.
This solution, or explanation rather,
Is a very plausible one, end , accounts
fully for the presence of the terrible
animal there, as the following facts will
show.
Several years ago, during a general
fight At a circus In a town a few miles
below Snmter City, several animals
broke from their cages and escaped,
among which were four very large and
fierce hyenas. The next day, however,
all the animals were recaptured exoept
the hyenas, who have since oontinued to
roam tbe ewampt in that locality.
These animals are very ferocious, and
when hungry will attack a man aa well
as a dog. The gentlemen here yester
day la positive that the wholesale
■laughter of the dogs Is the work of one
or more of these beasts, particularly
since one baa been aeon within a mile or
two of that place. Tbe negroes are very
mueh alarmed since this fset was made
known, and scarcely one of them will
venture out of doors at night on any ac
count.
