EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:

We have long wondered why 80
many changes In the manner OF lie
with man. But when we go back 10
our childhood day and come along as
our lives have brought us, we have It
plain before us. Science has done
the worn. What Is science? IL must
be the mind Of man. In rebellion
against God in making living, from
the sweat Of the brow.
will now give you the starting OF
science as we have 1t today. In years
past, / and my partner, who was n
very indolent kind of a creature.
started out In the quest of knowl-
edge and fortune. We landed out
West where ticks were there by the
millions. My partner got covered
with them and not being disposed to
exert himself let them work their
way into his being and caused severe
Inflammation and there being those
people there that is averse to Gods
| law-wes call them doctors-they
found with my pard that ticks wore
dangerous. and started ), 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 him at one time was con-
vincing proof that they were dan
gerous to life. Well. we raked them
of and he soon was at himself again.
That OF course was proof enough Tor
science. Then the war against the
| tick started. 80.
| But just a short time my pard was
sleeping in the open and The hies had
| full sway at his open mouth and, of
course, they took the advantage OF
the opportunity and in q short time
he was in bad Ak again. So the doc
tor saw at once the fly was a danger
Gus insect when in reality 1t was only,
an emetic good for those who are
bilious, though there was science at
work for self interest and now we
must avoid the fly as q dangerous
insect, and in housing ourselves from
the tick and fly we have become liza
BILE to tuberculosis. something that
did not exist till the tick and fly were
deprived Of tlieir worry. Then the
scientists take the place OF these In
| sects and have III carried to some city
hospital and thece we have the high
cost of dying ard through the discov-
cry on my pard the scientists have
/ found that those insects work on
meats thai are used for food. 80 they
must doctor and carry them to. the
sauitarium to be examined and treat
4 ed before We 'can net them to che Ia
BILE and now we have the high cost
OF living! What pity that my pard
was ever born. but for him we now
would be living at our ease by work
ling half the time and meats would
be like s cents instead OF Is cents and
we would not haze had to have all
we eat dcctored Cn ithe. 60. Yes
science is great worker and can
make dangerous the most harmless
things OF life and bring into existence
things that never existed and scare
! TO teath the strpngost OF humanity
for fear OF char which win never
come to pass. So half OF science is
q fake and the other half is guess
work for profit SO there you are.

A Plan to Ala Southern Farmers.
H Mr. Editor: am personally inter
ested in farming, therefore have
watched closely the public efforts Cf
the farmers TO better their conditions
There are two conditions the farmers
have been making efforts to attain for
the last thirty-five years.
First An absolute permanent plan
by which they can get loan on their
cotton when desired. g.
securing In the fall and all the year a
high price for their cotton. The far
mers by this time should realize that
calling meetings and passing resolu-
tions do not help them and that reso-
iutions will not compete with capt.
tall that any method to make them abb
solutely Independent that Is not bas-
ed on capital is failure for the rea-
eon that capital Is necessary to COM
| pete with capital
There IL q plan that, IL the farmers
will adopt II strictly, will cause them
TO be completely independent Of the
wars OF Europe. the wars OF the ORR
ent, wars in America, spectators In
lEuroEe And IA America ) and plaGe
them in am everlasting ana permanent
position to- be independent and wheh
attained will put the farmer on the
road to prosperity and success. This
plan I advocated very concisely about
two years ago, (this one being more
Ielaborate.) The former was tsblished I
In weekly paper in South Georgia,
The Pickens Sentinel, the Easley
Progress and tho Daily State.
Whenever ths farmer is always ab-
solutefy certain of the loan when he
4 needs it on his cotton, sud always GER
tain of q profitable price for fiis cot

lgreat desfderata, and this they have
Easpifed for long time and which
plan, when put Into operation. will
