Letters Fron EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: wv have long w?ndcred why so many changes in thc manner of Iii" with man. But when we go back to our childhood day and come along as our lives have brought us, we have it plain before ua. Science haa done the worri. What ls science? It must be the mind of man, in rebellion againut God in making a living, from the sweat of the brow. I will now give you the starting of science aa we have it today. In yeura past, I and my partner, who waa n very indolent kind of a creature, started out in the quest of kuowl edge^fend fortune. Wo landed out West whore tlcka wero there by tho millions. My partner got covered with them and not being disposed to exert himself let them work their way into his being and cauaed aevere inflammation and there being thone people there that 1B averse to God's law-we? call them doctora-th<*y found with my pard that tickn wore dangerous, and started . campaign against the tick. Though in former days we were aasociated with them more or less without any evil reBults, we would even scrape them from the cow when we went to milk for years, but thia boy being overcome by mll liona on him at one time waa con vincing proof that they were dan gerous to life. Well, we raked them off and he soon was at himself again. That of course waa proof enough for acience. Then the war against the tick Btarted. . .... But juBt a abort time my pard waa sleeping in the open and (be nibs had full away at his'open mouth, and, of courao, they took the advantage of the opportunity and in a short tlnie he waa in a bad fix agnin. So the doc tor saw at once the fly was a danger ous insect when in reality it waa only an emetio good for those who are billions, though there waa science at work for self Interest and now ' we must avoid the fly as a dangerous Insect, and'in housing ourselves'from the tick and fly we have become lia ble to tuberculosis, something that did not exiat tPl ihe tick and fly. were deprived of -Weir worry. Then the scientists take the place of these in sects and have u? carried to some city hospital and thece we have the high cost of dying ard through the discov ery on my pp rd the scientists have found that t\oso insects work on meats that ?te used for food, BO they must doctor and carry them to. thc sanitarium tc. be examined and treat ed before we'can net them to the ta ble and now we hove the high cont ot living. What pity that my pard wa? ever born, but for him' we now would be living at our ease-by work ing half the time and meats would be like G conta Instead pf 96 conta aad we would not hale, had to have all we eat doctored on ihe. go. Ye? ?elenco ta a great worker and! cab make dangerous the moat harmless things of lifo and bring into existence things that never existed and acare to death the ?trpngost of humanity for fear of that which will . never come to pass. So half of acience in a fake and the other half la guess work for profit. So there you are. I. N, SMITH. A ?tan to Ali Southern Fanners. Mr. Editor: I am personally inter ested tn fanning, therefore I have watched closely the public efforts n the farmers to better their conditions. There are two conditions the farmers have been making efforts to attain foi the laat thirty-five years. First- An absolute permanent plan by which they can get a loan on theil cotton when desired. Second- An absolute certainty ol securing In the fall and all the year a high price for .their cotton. The fer mera by thia time should realise thal calltag. meetings and passing resolu tions do not help them and that reso luttona will not compete with capi tal, that any method to make them ab solutely independent that is not bas ed on capital ls a failure for the rea son that capital ls necessary to com pete with capital. There ls a plan that, if the farmert will adopt it strictly, will cause theft to be completely independent of tbs wars of Europe, the wars of the Ort' ont, wara in America, speculators f$ Euro.?- und in ' America . and pied? therh In an everlasting and permanei i position to be Independent and- whe attained will put the farmer on tl road to prosperity and success. Th i plan I advocated very concisely a bot t two years ago, (thia ono being mon elaborate.) The former -was t toiishec In a weekly paper tn South Georgia The Pickena Sentinel, the Baste] Progresa and the Daily State. Whenever the farmer ls always ab aoluteiy certain of the loan when ht needs lt bu his cotton, and always cor tala o' a profitable price for his cot too, ht baa reached two positions o great desiderata, and Gila they havt aspired for a long time and whicl plan, when put into operation, wll be the ^realest achievement in market lng cotton in lae history of tho world Tho question naturally ls, what ta th< Oten, and can lt be adopted? The an swer ls. yet, if followed strictly. It fi aa follows: Pirat- The farmers In each cot ton county In the South organise i Farmers' Cotton Bank and Warehouse to be disconnected from er ob other o; taking, shares of one hundred dol?an a abare, one may take aa many share as ho wishes. All share holders t? share alike, no preforrod stock, am raise five hundred thousand or om million dollars or as much as in nae eseary for each county. Second- This money to be roan? on cotton only to fermera at five pe cent interest and said interest and in enrance to bo paid monthly in ad vance, no coarse for storage, so tba the debt will not get larger than th value of the cotton collateral. Third- The farmer deposits ala cot ton in the warehouse, draws on hi cotton warehouse weights twelv cents per pound on middling gradi or tour-flitts value ot the bale. Waa! cotton advances to a prto* that snit bim ho sells tho deposited cotton am n The People j pays the debt to the above named I bank. His transaction is Htrlctly an I individual matter and does not act in ' combination with any one; therefore this takes it out of tho operation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Fourth- This bank can be closed when th? cotton season ls over each year to avoid tile expense of paying bank officials. Including the weigher and grader of cotton. Fifth- The bank officers to bo se lected like all other bank officers and bc required to furnish u bond and to get for their services adequate salar ies, said farmers' cotton bank and warehouse to ce chartered and man aged on strict business principles, like all firBt class banks. Sixth- Thin bank not allowed to buy cotton at all, not loan money only to farmers on cotton collateral. Seventh-- If the farmer fnlls to pay his interest and insurance monthly in advance, the bank, hy agreement, is authorized to sell lils cotton and apply the procceeds to his debt. Eighth-This hank to loan to a..? farmer on his cotton who ia not a stockholder. Tbic will furnish them money and at the same lime keep colton off of the market in large amounts In the fall and force up the price. Tho presidents of thc different State Farmers' unions should call the far mers of their respectivo States togeth er and appoint a committee of two good farmers of influence in each county to travel together and solicit shares, beginning the second Monday in January, 1 ?> 1 r?. Build the banks at Bpnip 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 not egotistically; that this Is the only plan in the world to pdt the farmers In a position whero they can absolutely control the price of their cotton.. ' The farmers will haV? 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. Tho foregoing plan I would name the Pickens county, South Carolina Cotton Market Plan, and I will ask that all the. daily and weekly papers In the South who are in sympathy with ! tho farmer copy this plan . My only ! object-In writing this plan ls to bene fit the cotton farmer In the South, i Very respectfully, JOSEPHUS H. NEWTON. ! Pickens, 3.

"SELF-SEKI?L" O?Y IDEA HAS BECOME POPULAR PERSONS ASKED TO GIVE UP SMALL LUXURIES NEXT WEDNESDAY FOR THE POOR Donations WAI Be Turned Over to the Salvation Army Forces. The suggestion made some days ago by Mr. Lee G. Holleman, presk'-mt of the Peoples Dank, that the r i: ens of Anderson observe next Wednesday as a day of "self-denial," wben each one will deny himself or herself some small luxury and give the cash equi valent of the luxury to the Salvation Army, to be used by them for local purposes, lias met witli wide favor. And indications are that the general public will observe the day, giving up their smaller luxuries for one day and donating the money which they would have spent for them to the cayuse or charity. Donation-; to the fund will be re ceived at Mr. Holleman's omeo and at the office of "The Intelligencer. It has been suggested that small boxes be placed at various soda fountains and cigar stands in the city for the receiving of these contributions. t is probable that this will be done. The suggestion is that the person who lg fond of a cigar, drlnging at the soda fountain, ' a pack of cigarettes, candy or any other small1 luxury deny himself or herself that luxury for one day and give the money which would be spent therefor, to,-the poor. It is further suggested that those who rid*1 the street ears or tovel In automobile? deny themselves the luxuics ot travel for that day hnd give the cost of these luxuries to the fund. Fenny Party.
