THE PAYING OF ACCOUNTS The Pleasure ro. Prompt * Pay- ment Induced--~Can the Plan be Duplicated? Kingston, Jan. "3 (To the Editory | --Do you ever "get an account sent to you? At once you will say, what a ridiculous question to'ask a news- paper man, "we are always in debt." Bu# then what do you do with the Do you put them in yodr pocket or on the file, or in the waste paper basket, at the same time saying to yourself (or 'No hurry to pay to the wife, tha,' or do ym Mr. Blank, "here is the account fre | pay it at once." I had occasion recently to pay an | It was for $10. you say | account to the Whig. When I tendered the office man a | crisp new ten dollar bill, he was] | | greatly pleased and receipted the ac- thank you." For cur- | | iosity, I thought it would be inter- | Nesting just to keep tab on the ten | dollar bill, and watch its manoeu-' | vers for a few days. It was on Friday and the cashier was »uasy filling the pay envelopes. He put this bill into an envelope for | | one of th pleased to get it.- paper men he took the env elope home | and handed it to his/wife. She was pleased. After supper he got his: newspaper and pipe hnd kept house | while his wife went fo do shopping. | | Among other places that she visited was the corner grocery, where she| tendered the grocer the ten dollar bill for payment of groceries received durihg the week. It pleased the grocer. On Monday morning the groc- er hiked to the wholesale grocer, and this same bill, with some others, 'he turned in as payment on his sta ment. The wholesaler was pleased. About the time he was paying the] | wholesaler, the bank manager called | | up the latter, and told him that] Smith Jones' Sight Draft was due | i and if not paid before three o'clock | would go Yo protest. | At five minutes before closing time the wholesaler was seen hustling to] the bank, almost out of breath, but | with a pleasant look on his face. He | had the cash for Smith Jones' draft] | He was pleased, and the bank manag- | er "was pleased. 'Smith Jones (the miller), that Brown | ' had paid his draft, and Jones was | | pleased. On Tuesday the miller 're-| ceived several loads of wheat from the farmers, for which he paid them in cash. They were pleased, and the farmers. in turn paid the butcher, doctor, dry goods | man, shoe man, tailor and dentist, be- | sides having a little:1éft for the | church envelope next Sunday. All the merchants were delighted, while Just to think of the pleasure passed | | around because f paid the ten dollar account to the Whig, and paid it promptly. On the other hand, if I had let account | moitths, "or even two weeks, see what hardships 1 would have caused to so many others! But you say, oh it was only ten | dollars; yes, only ten dollars, but on Jan. 2nd I sent out bills that in some cases were 'Under ten dollars, and In other cases over ten, but in the aggregate amounted to several thousand dollars, and many another merchant sent out as maidy, or per- haps more, than I did, and because counts (and at the same time have bank accounts with money drawing three per cent,) have not at this date (21st) paid me, I am compelled to 80 to the bank and borrow money for which I have to pay a big rate of in- terest. My point is this: Times are not quite as good as they have been, and will be shortly, but in the meantime every business man of manufacturer has his bills to meet, and he needs money. Do you owe any pefson, any amount, $1 or $100? Have you any money in the bank? If so, go to the bank at once and withdraw sufficient to pay your indebtedness including if necessary the newspaper boy. Think it over Mr, Man, you with the bank account--Ilarge or small-- are you playing the game square and doing your part to keep the wheels of industry moving, and provide bread for the hungry, or in other words are you doing to others, as you would desire that they do to you, if your positions were reversed?" Thanking you, I remain one who owes, because others owe him." 8. A.

At Brockville, on the stand at Thursday's sitting of the court in- quiring into charges brought against him and Inspector Taber by James M. Young, C.'R. Deécon, counsel for Taber, gave flat contradiction to the accusations of Young that he had gi- ven Deacon money for protection and immunity under' the O.T.A., or that Young had ever received liquor from the local®license officials. Mr. Dea- con did, however, admit that Young had been volumtarily employed in the role of stool pigeon to assist in the capture of three Americans who had arranged to secure liquor from Young and that the latter had dou- ble-erossed the license officials. Res- ponsibility for this incident Mr. Dea- con fixed with the License Board at Toronto, with whom he was in com- munication and to whom he had stat- ed that it was either a case of hav- ing Young sentenced to a six-months term or employing his services. Inspector Taber, whose cross- examination was completed during the afternoon, admitted knowledge of the water front incident and of Young's possession of the eight cases. He had taken no action against him because prosecution of Mrs. Young was pending. To Have Chartered Aundit. At the meeting of Smith's Falls council much time was taken up in discyssion of remuneration to be paid for an audit of the town's books by a chartered accountant.
