Self Protection as Well as Protection of

Owing- to the lack of space we
are unable to publish in fall the
constitution and by-laws of the
Merchants Protective Associa
tion of Transylvania County, but
will give the gist of that part
which refers to the public at
large. As the name implies the
Association was formed for the
protection of its membei’s and
its aim is to put a stop to the
making of uncollectible debts by
irresponsible parties. The by
laws provide, among other
things, for a Credit Clearing
House to which all the members
belong and the api)ointment of a
Collector and Inspector of Ac
counts.
If any debtor shall refuse or
neglect to pay debts owing to any
member of the Association with
in thirty days after notice, the
account shall be i)laced in the
rhe many fi iet.ds of Mi>s ^bu’ion | of the Collector and he will

Editor Sylvan Valley News:
The many friends of .Tames
and Martha Chapman deepl3^
sympathize with them on ac
count of the loss of their children.
Their little son, Major, 10 years
of age, died Sept. 4, and little
Annie, 8 years old, died Sept. 11.
They died with milk sick, sup
posed to have been gotten from
water in an unused spiing. They
were very bright, healthy chil
dren and the loss was more se
vere because so unexpected.
None but those who have had
the experience know what such
losses mean.
’Tis sweet, as year* l)y year we lose
