PERSONS ASKED TO FOREGO LUXURIES ON DEC 16 AND GIVE PRICE TO THE POOR WHERE DONATIONS WILL BE RECEIVED Proposed to Torn Money Over to Salvation Army to Be Used by Them in Charity's Cease. To what extent the good people of Anderson believe that "it is more blessed to give than to receive" and in what measure they appreciate that "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of t?rese ye have done it also unto me" will be shown on Wednes day, December 16, for that has been designated as "Self-denial. Day," on which occasion they are importuned to deny themsef/es some small luxury and give the cash equivalent of that luxury to the Salvation Army, in or- 1 der that the hungry may be fed, the naked clothed, the sick ministered unto and some ray of happiness brought to the stranger within the city's gates whose ship of fortune has gone upon the rocks. HollemanVf Suggestion. Jt is the suggestion of one of An derson's whole-souled and kind-heart ed citizens-Lee G. Holleman-that a day be set aside when contributions shall be given to this worthy cause. No ope lg asked to go down in his pocket end give ic be cac not afford it. In tuet, no one ls asked to go to any expense over and above what one would naturally spend in the course of a day. Were that the case, lt would not bo "Self-denial Day." it is intended that the significance o' the word self-denial apply strictly. On that' day every person ls asked to forego somo minor luxury-the prtce of a cigar, a glass of coca-cola, car fare, the amount ot gasoline that would be consumed by his automo bile that day, a blt of candy, chewing gum, etc.-and Rive the cash equiva lent of that luxury to the Sal vat'on Army, to be used by thia worthy or ganisation in its noble work. Were to Leave Funds. . Mr. Holleman stated that donations to the cause may be left at hf A bank The Intelligencer will cheerhilly re ceive funds and turn- them :?ver to tile proper authorities. And it ls probable that there will ?ra otfj??r places whers funds 'may be left. , The Idea, stated Mr. Holleman. ls to prevail upun every man, woman and c?lld i*i the city of Anderson and those from the country who may be In the city that day-to deny him self or herself some small luxury just for tHi i day, and give the amount of money which would bo expended for that luxury to tho cause of charity. The man who-relishes ? glass ot coca-cola or some other drink at thc soda fountain is ' asked to abstain for that dav and gb<i tho amount which he would snend for that luxury to this cause. The one who likes a cigar is asked to do the same thing. The ono who; rldes the street car ls ask ed to walk that dav. if possible, and give the amount or his car fare to the poor. The one who would play a game of pool ls prevailed upon ; to deny himself the pleasures of . the green cloth, the cue and the b-11 for that day, or one game, at least, and give that amount to the Salvation Army. The man who Tiden In his au tomobile is asked to let the car re main in the garage that day and give tho nrlce of the gasoline the machine would use to thia cause. There are a thousand and one luxuries that a<?n enjoyed every day which could be dlsnensed with for one day, and the ; cash equivalent of these luxuries given to the Salvation Army for Its work. Olve Something.. However, if a oerson feels that he : or she can not deny himself, or her self some Inxurv even for a dav, that person is urged to enjoy the luxury as usual, but git? the price of the luxurv to the cause. Tint lt ls sug gested that self-denial be practiced In thin Instance, for- In that way no one win be any the noorer when n'ght cornea for having given to the Salva tion Army, for the money would have boon ?pent anv way tor Inxurfes. -Wednesday.
