Letters Fron EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: We have long wondered why so [ many changer) In the manner of life with man. lint when we go back to our childhood day and come along oa our lives have brought uh, we have it plain before uh. Science has done the word. What is science? It must be the mind of man, In rebellion ugainst Cod in making a living, from the sweat of the brow. I will now give you the starting of science as we huve It todny. In years past, I and my partner, who was a very indolent kind of u creature, started out In the ouest of knowl edge and fortune. We landed out West whero ticks wero there by tho millions. My partner got covered with them and not being disposed to exert himself let them work their way 'nto his being and caused severe inflammation and there being Ihoio people there that Is averse to Cod's law?wo call them doctors?they found with my pard that ticks were dangerous, and started a campaign against the tick. Though in former days we were associated with them more or less without any evil results, we would even scrape them from the cow when we went to milk for years, but this boy being overcome by mil lions on bim at one time was con vincing proof that they were dnn gerous to life., well, we raked them off and ho soon was at himself again. That of course was proof enough for science. Then the war against the tick started. But just a short time my pard was sleeping in the open and the flies had full sway at his open mouth, and, of cou? se, they took the advantage of the opportunity and in a short time he was in a bad fix again. So the doc tor saw at once .the fly was a danger ous Insect when in reality it was only an cmetlo good for those who are br.lious, though there was science at wont for self interest and now we must avoid tb" fly as a dangerous Insect, and in bousing ourselves from the tick and fly we have become lia ble to tuberculosis, something that did not exist till tho tick and fly wero deprived of their worry. Then the scientists take the place of these in sects and have us carried to some city hospital and there we have the high cost of dying and through the discov ery on my pard the scientists have found that those insects work on meats that are used for food, so they must doctor and carry them to the sanitarium to be1 examined and treat ed before wo can get them to the ta ble and now we have the high cost of living. What pity that my pard was over born, but for him' we now would be living at our ease by work ing half the time and moats v would be like B cents instead of'26 cents and wo would not hale had to have ill we eat doctored on the go. ' Yes science" is "?" great' ^wortter andV can make dangerous the most' harmless things of life and bring into existence things that never existed and scare to death' the etrongeBt of humanity for fear of that which' will" never come to pasB. So half of science is a take and the other half is guess '-vork fat. profit. So there you are. I. N. SMITH. A Flan to Aid Konthern Farmers. Mr. Editor: I am personally Inter ested In farming, therefore I have watched closely the public efforts of the farmers to better their conditions. There are two conditions the farmers iioyn ho.n making efforts to attain for the last thirty-five years. First? An absolute permanent plan by which they, can get a loan on their cotton when desired. I Second? An absolute certainty of securing in the fail and all the year a high price for their cotton. . The far mers by this time should realise that calling meetings and pashJug res?lu ?loh's do hot help them and that reso utlons will/hot compete with capi tal, that any method to make them ab solutely independent that is not bas ed on capital Ib a failure tor the rea son that-capital-is necessary to com pete with capital. There is a plan that, if the farmers will adopt it strictly, will cause them to bo completely independent, of the wars of EJurope, the wars of .the ofl entj wars in America.' speculators *n Europe and in America and place them In an everlasting and permanent position to ho independent and when attained wllj put the farmer on tho road to prosperity and success. This plan I advocated very concisely about two years,agol (this one being more elaborate.) The former was published in a weekly paper. In South Georgia. The Ptckens Sentinel, tho Easley Progress, and the. Daily State. ' ". Whenever the' farmer 1b always ab solutely certain of the loan when he needs it on his cotton, and always cer tain of a" profitable price for his cot ton, he has reached two positions of great desiderata, and this they have aspired for a long time and which plan, when put Into operation, will be the greatest achievement in market ing cotton in the history of the world. The question naturally Is, what Is the plan, and can It bo adopted? Tho an swer is. yet, if followed strictly. It is as follows: .First? The farmera In each cot ton county in the South organise a Farmers' Cotton Bank and Waieho?se, to be disconnected from each other by taking shares.of one hundred dollars a share, one may take'as many shares as. he wishes. All share holders .-to Share, alike, no preferred stock, and raise five hundred thousand or one million doliara of as mich as la nec essary for each county. Second? This money to be loaned on? cotton only to 'farmers et flye per cent interest and said Interest and in au7J?*vrV? tty 'r>?id mc?ihjy in ad vance", no "charge for storage, bo that the debt will not got, larger than the value of the cotton collateral. > flfhltd? Tho,farmer Jehosits hia cot ton In, tho warehouse^ draws On his cotton warehouse weigh ta twelve cents per pound on middling grade,' or four-fifths Value-of the bale. Whoa i The People ! pays the debt to the above named I bank. His transaction is strictly an individual matter and does not act iu ; combination wiih any one; therefore | this takes it out of the operation of ; the Sherman anti-trust iaw. Fourth? This bank can be closed I when the cotton season Is over each year to avoid the expense of paying bunk officials. Including the weigher I and grader of cotton. Fifth? The bank officers to bo se lected like all other bunk oftlcers and be required to furnish a bond and to get for their services adequate salar ies, said farmers' cotton bank and warehouse to be chartered and man aged on strict business principles, like all first class banks. Sixth - This bank not allowed to buy cotton at all, not loan money only to farmers on cotton collateral. Seventh? If the farmer fails to pay his interest and insurance monthly in advance, the hank, by agreement, is authorized to sell his cotton and apply the proceccds to his debt. Eighth?Tliis hank to loan to any farmer on his cotton who is not a stockholder. This will furnish them niouey and at the same time keep cotton off of the market in large amounts in the fall and force up the price. The presidents of the different. State Farmers' unions should call the far mers of their respective Statos togeth er and appoint a committee of two good farmers of influence In each county to travel together and solicit shares, beginning tho second Monday in January, 1915. Build tho bunks at some central point in the county and be ready for business by the first of September. Build sheds or shelters for the storage of cotton; the expense of soliciting shares, building banks and cotton sheds to be paid out of the orig inal stock. I wish to say, but hot egotistically, that this Is the only plan In the world to put the farmers in a position where they can absolutely control the price of their cotton. Tho farmers will have to learn to look after their own interest and not depend on the whims and notions of legislators and not look for the aid from the government, state or nation al. The sooner they realize this the better for them. The government has only three things to do: First, pro tect your life; second, protect your liberties third, protect you in the en joyment of your property. The idea that the government should aid you financially to promote your Individual interest or private business is a dangerous doctrine. The.foregoing plan I would name the Pickens county, South Carolina Cotton ' Market Flan, and I will ask that all the daily and weekly papers In the South who are in sympathy with the farmer copy this plan . My only object in writing thin 'plan is to bene fit the cotton farmer in thp South. Very respectfully. * '". JOSEPHUS H. NEWTON, pit-kens', S.

"SELF-OEIL" DAY IDEA HAS BECOME POPULAR PERSONS ASKED TO GIVE UP SMALL LUXURIES NEXT WEDNESDAY FOR THE POOR Donations Will Be Turned Over to the Salvation Army Forces. The suggestion made some* days ago | by Mr. Ia'c G." Hollenian, prcsidem of j the Peoples Bank, that the citizens of Anderson observe next Wednesday as a day of "self-denial," when each one will deny himself or herself sonic small luxury and give tho cash equi valent of tho luxury to the Salvation Army, to he used by them for local purposes, has met with . wide favor. And indications are that tbo g?n?ral public will observe the day, giving up their smaller luxuries for one day and donating the money, which they would have spont for them to the cause of charity. Donations to the fund will be re ceived at Mr. Holleman's .office and at the office of The Intelligencer.- It lias been suggested that small boxes be placed at various soda fountains and cigar stands in the city for tho receiving of these contributions. It is probable that this will be done. The suggestion is that the person who is fond of a cigar, dringing at the soda fountain, a pack of cigarettes, candy or any other small luxury deny himself or herself that luxury for one day and give the money which would bo spent therefor t? tho poor. It is further suggested that those who ride the street cars-or tavel in automobilen deny themselves the luxuies of travel for that day and give the cost of these luxuries to the- fund. Penay Party.
