PERSONS ASKED TO FOREGO
LUXURIEs ON DEC. Is AND
GIVE PRICE TO THE
POOR
WHERE DONATIONS
WILL BE RECEIVED
Proposed to Turn Money Over to
Salvation Army TO Be Used
by Them in Cherity's
Cause.

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
"1nasmuch as ye have done 1t unto
the Least OF these ye have done 1t also
unto me" will be shown on Wednes-
day, December f6, for that has been
designated as "Self-deniai Day." on
which occasion they are importuned
to deny themselves some small luxury
and give the cash equivalent of that
luxury to the Salvation Army, in or
der that the hungry may be fed, the
naked clothed. the sick msuistered
unto and some ray of happiness
brought to the stranger within the
city's gates whose ship OF fortune
has gone upon the rocks.
Holleman's Suggestion.
1t 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 one Is asked to go down in his
pocket and give if he can not afford
1t. In fact, no one Is asked to go to
any expense over and above what one
would naturally spend in the course
OF day. We're that the case, It
would not be "Self-denial Day" 1t
Is intended that the Significance Of
the word self-denial apply strictly.
On that day every person is asked to
forego somo minor luxury--the price
OF a cigar, a glass Of coca-cola, car
fare, the amount OF gasoline that
would be consumed by his automo-
bile that day, bit OF candy, chewing
gum, etc.-and give the cash equiva.
lent Of that luxury. to the Salvation
Army, to. be used by this worthy or
ganization In its noble work.
We're to Leave Funds.
Mr., HOlleman stated that donations
to the cause may be left at his bank
The Intelligencer will cheermlly re-
ceive: funds. and turn them over to. the
proper authorities. And It is probable
that there wiii ha other places Wisr.
funds may be left.
!, The idea, stated Mr. Holleman. is
to prevail upon every man. woman
and c;iild IN the city of Anderson
and those from the country who may
be in the city that day-fo deny him
self or herself some small luxury Just
for tn. day. and give the amount ci
money which would be expended for
that luxury to the cause of charity
The man who reiishes glass oi
coca-cola or some other drink at the
soda fountain is asked to abstain FOR
that dav and gtls the amount which
he would spend for that luxury h
this cause. The one who likes cigar
is asked to do the same thing The
ono who rides the street car is ask
ed to walk that dag. IL possible. and
give the amount OF his car fare to the
poor. The one who would play a
game Of pool Is prevailed upon tc
deny himself the pleasures OF the
green cloth, the cue and the bsll FOL
that day, or one game. at least, and
give that amount to the Salvation
Army. The man who rides In his au,
tom05ile is asked to let the car re,
main In the garage that day and give
the sprice Of the gasoline the machine
would use to this cause. There art
o thousand and one luxuries that arr
enjoyed every Gay which could b,
disnensed with for one day, and ths
cash equivalent OF these iuxuries
given to the Salvation Army for itl
work. 49, ~

However. if a person feels that hs
or she can not deny hirtseif. or her
self some luxury even for a dny, tina
person Is urged to enjoy the luxury
as usual, but give the price OF th,
luxury to the cause, But 1t Is sug
| gested that self-denfal be practicet
in this Instance. for In that way n,
