how to append Options in Select Box Dynamically

i want to add two options in DropBox

$("#payment_method_1").append(new Option("Credit", "7"));
$("#payment_method_1").append(new Option("Debit", "6"));

when i implement that codes it's append perfectly but the problem is it's appending so many times instead of one time 

    <select name="payment_method_1" id="payment_method_1" class="paysome" style="opacity: 0;">
    <option value="1" selected="selected">Cash</option>
    <option value="2">Credit Card</option>
    <option value="3">Western Union</option>
    <option value="4">Cheque</option>
    <option value="8">Bank</option>
    <option value="7">Credit</option>
    <option value="6">Debit</option>
    <option value="7">Credit</option>
    <option value="6">Debit</option>
    <option value="7">Credit</option>
    <option value="6">Debit</option>
    <option value="7">Credit</option>
    <option value="6">Debit</option>
    </select>

Here is my Loop 

    $('.paysome').each(function(index, element) {   
    $("#payment_method_"+index).append(new Option("Credit", "7"));
    $("#payment_method_"+index).append(new Option("Debit", "6"));
    });

Thanks in Advance

You can simply create an option and append to your select 

$('.paysome').each(function(index, element) {        
    var index = index + 1;
    var select = document.getElementById("payment_method_"+index);
    select.appendChild(new Option("Credit", "7"));
    select.appendChild(new Option("Debit", "6"));      
}

Or,

$('.paysome').each(function(index, element) {        
    var index = index + 1;
    $("#payment_method_"+index).append(new Option("Credit", "7"));
    $("#payment_method_"+index).append(new Option("Debit", "6"));              
}

I see issue is with index.$.each index starts with zero and your id index starts with 1 so you may need to update your id or update your code .

Here is Fiddle
