Col lection Aecncr Tlia F.nilorscment of Officials ant Others Who Ap , prove the Business of the Agency. , To tha Editor, of .The OtWrver , We notice in Friday's Observer a communication from one "C M. Bow er, M. E.r" who has aforetime been th Iredell noflnLV laiL. Where Bower la known, it is not necessary to reply to anything he aays. However, as mouo ands of the good readers-of Tne Ob server have never heard ot hlp, and might attach some Importance to his letter, we wish to reply -.to him briefly. . - -., '-' The cause ot his animus .- against thl-s agency is the fact that a debt of long standing has been placed wl:h us for collection, and we have been putting strong pressure on him to fores him to pay. . He" owes other people here, who have given up hope or getting- any settlement Bower wrlies pretty good English hut Is about as sorry a man as you would mee: in long time. We are reliably Informed that he was at' one time ejected from a house belonging to a cltlxen of thla town because of his non-payment ef rent. Numerous other instances could "be cited to show what manner of man he la, but we do not think it necessary. Now a word if you please about this agency. Its, object is the collec tion of honest debts, where the debtor Is in a position to pay, or where he rrakes no effort to pay. i We have en li'ited frna war against deadbeats and business leeches-people who live on the honest earnlngh of other people, and never trouble about paying. We have no quarrel with, nor, d6 we pro ceed against tbe honest man or wo man wluMs In hard luck, and wants to pay. We hulp these" people when ve can. But the method we use against deadbeats is strenuous, and it does make them squeal sometimes. We advertise their non-payment where they do not wish us to do It. And we believe we are making dead beats odious. ' Almost every business firm In etatesvllle endorses us. The shorift of the county, the chief of po lice, and constabulary force endorse us, contrary to Bower's statement We append the endorsement of these last to this letter, and respectfully ask you to publish it. We also" ap pend the endorsements of the S:atee ville merchants, and ask you to pub llsh It, In Justice to us. ' In addition, but by no means least.
