Athens Republique

April 1, 1922 in town when he is well, and when sickness overtook him he went to the country ten miles out. An associate of his in town filed all of his claims and made the collections for him. He got sick quit frequently. Finally a suspicion fell on him by some of the companies operating with him. A Sunday visit was made to Beckwith's country home by one of the representatives. Mr. Beckwith was not at home. He had been called from a nearby swamp from a lively card game. He immediately admitted his trick had been caught up with, and requested the representative to not inform the other companies, but the representative told on him to his brother agents and hence Beckwith lost with all of them. This he did not like and told some of the people about the companies not paying him, giving no reasons why they did not. Yet the lady who accosted the agent as spoken of above, admitted she knew nothing of the case—did not even know the man—had formed an opinion of the matter and taken actions without hearing a word of the other side of the case. All parties concerned that, hear of a sick claim of a member or friend being rejected should get the acutual facts on the matter before acting. If you were hailed before a court and they only heaad your accuser's side and acted without hearing yours, you would think they were mighty cruel. It is not enough simply to hear some one say, "Such and such a company turned my claim down." If you are honestly interested ask your agent, your manager and hear what they have to say about it too. It might have THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE occurred about something you would not uphold the member in whatever. and of course you would not look for them to bring that part: certainly not. Insist, to know all of the facts on both sides before you form an opinion. If you do not insist on all of the facts, but just part of them it would be better not to form an opinion at all. If you take a membership away from a company on acc't of a rejected claim, to be fair then you should cause them to get at least one for every hundred they pay. A rule should work more than one way. Payment of dues, is the next subject.
