wish to say. but not egotistically,
that this is the only plan in the world
to put the farmers in position where
they can absolutely control the price
OF their cotton.
The 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-

'SELF.DEN|AL" DAY IDEA
HAS BECOME POPULAR
PERSONS ASKED TO GIVE UP
SMALL LUXURIES NEXT

Donations Will Be Turned Over
to the Salvation Army
Forces.
OR THE POOR

The suggestion made some days ago
by Mr.. Lee G. Holleman, president OF
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 some
small luxury and give the cash equi
valent Of the luxury to the Salvation
Army. to be used by them for local
purposes. has met with 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
cause Of charity.
Donations to the fund will be re-
ceived ut Mr.. Holleman's office and
at the office of The Intelligencer. 1t
has been suggested that small boxes
be placed at various soda fountains
and cigar stands In the city for the
receiving of these contributions It
is probable that this will be done.
The suggestion is that the person
who Is fond of a cigar, bringing at the
soda fountain, pack of cigarettes,
candy or any other small 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 ride
the street cars. or tavel in automobiles
deny themselves the luxuies Of travel
for that day and give the cost of these
luxuries to the fund.

Letters From The PEOPLE
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:
We have long wondered why so
! many changes in the manner OF lifs
with man. But when we go back to
our childhood day and come along az
our lives have brought us, we have it
plain before us. Science has done
the worn. What is science? 1t must
be the mind OF man. IN rebellion
against God in making a living, from
the sweat OF the brow.
will now give you the starting OF
science as we have II today. In years
very indolent kind of creature,
edge and fortune. We landed out
West where ticks wero 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-we call them doctors-tliey
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 him ut one time was con-
| vincing proof that they were dan
gerous to life. Well. we rake,i them
Off and he soon was at himself again.
That of course was proof enough for
science. Then the wIr against the
tick started. r
But Just short time my pard was
sleeping In the open and the flies had
full sway at Eis open mouth, and. Of
cou! Be-. they took the advantage OF
the opportunity and in short time
he was in bad fix again. So the doc
tor saw at once the fly was danger
ous insect when In reality It was only
an emettc good for those who are
bi. iious. though there was science at
work for self interest and now we
must avoid thu fly as q dangerous
insect, and in housing ourselves from
the tick and fly we have become lln-
BILE to tuberculosis, something TINT
did not exist till tho tick and fly were
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 discoy-
cry on my pard the scientists have
found that those insects work on
meats that are used for food, so they
must doctor md carry them to the
sanltarium tG be- examined and treat
ed before we can get them to the ta-
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.
Ing half the time and meats would
be like cents instead f.25 cents and
we would not have had to have Ill
we eat doctored on the CO., Yes

dwelling Of Barry Monument.

Washington, May 15.-The Barry
monument, erected by the govern
ment as a testimonial to the courage,
patriotism and ability of Commodore
John Barry, will be unveiled today,
with ceremonies which will hold over
until tomorrow. Barry was the first
chief of the American navy after the
nation had achieved independence,
and was one of the notable naval
heroes of the Revolutionary war. The
government has had full charge of
the unveiling exercises, and many
thousands of invitations have been
issued, sent to al! parts of the United
States. The Glee club of the Friendly
of Saint Patrick of New York,

recognized by gathering of the clan
of Barry" and many thousands of
that name are visiting the capital
city to attend this honoring of their
clansman.

.HUERTA MAKES
CHANGE IN GENERALS
GENERAL PENA. HIGHEST RANK
ING OFFICER IN MEXICO, SUP
PLANTS MAAS.

Washington, D. c., May 14.-News
reached Washington through official
sources Wednesday night that Gen,
eral Garcia Pena, one of the highest
ranking officers in the Mexican fed
eral army, had taken command Of the
forces outside Vera Cruz, suppressed.
ing General Mas.
This news caused speculation
around the state. war, and navy de-
partments. Some officials were in
clined to attach special significance
to the move seeing in it evidence of
Huerta's intention to strengthen his
position around the port and possibly
to assume an offensive attitude. On
the other hand it was suggested that
General Mas conducted the campaign
in such a manner as to displease HUI
erta, but it was declared this had
nothing to do with the international
situation. Those who took the less
optimistic view thought that the fall
of Tampico might have made Huerta
desperate and have led him to take
some steps to force the hand of Uni
ted States without awaiting the out
come of pending mediation negotia-
tions.
In this connection it was suggested
that the force driven out of Tampico
might undertake to march through
the mountains and effect a junction
with the army between Mexico City
and Vera Cruz. Some of those most
familiar with the situation, however,
thought this highly improbable, as
the railroad toward San Luis Potosi
over which the federals fled from
Tampico, is in operation for only
about 80 miles and the journey down
the coast on foot would be imprac-
ticable.

pose OF interesting the local opera

was done about the matter at the

ped to his plant to be refined. This
was done, ana Mr. Webster returned
to the city last night, and made the
result Of his findings known to the
local operators and he says that they
were more than satisfactory.

PLANT OF MEXICAN CRUDE RUB
BER COMPANY WRECKED BY
EXPLOSION TODAY.
DEAD MEN MECHANICS
One Body Was Blown Through Roof
OF the Building-ExpIosion Believ-
ed to Have Been Result of Blow
ing up of Large Vat.

Detroit, Mich, May 15.-Eleven men
were killed and three injured in an
explosion which practically wrecked
the plant of the Mexican Crude Rub
Der Company here today.
Only twenty-five men were working
in the plant at the time of the eX-
plosion.
Gasoline is believed to have been
the cause, although another cause re-
ported for the explosion was the blow
ing up of large vat of moulten rub
ber.
One body was blown through the
roof of the building. The others were
burned until they were almost un-
recognizable. Most of the victims were
skilled workmen.
The plant was a one-story concrete
structure. Great chunks of concrete
were hurled for two blocks in every
direction. Windows were broken for
several blocks around, and nearby
buildings were partly riddled.

HAS SOLUTION FOR
THE OIL PROBLEM
INDEPENDENT PRODUCER AND
FORMER MEMBER OF LEGiSLA-
TURE SUGGESTS OUTPUT TAX.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May IA
solution of the oil problem of Oklaho-
ma is suggested by Ed. l.. Dunn of
Tulsa one of the largest independent
producers in the state. Mr.. Dunn sery-
ed several years in the state legis-
lature and has studied the oil prob
blem from every side. His proposition
is that the state enact a law fixing
a tax of 10c a barrel on all oil pro
.duced and that the proceeds of the
tax be used in building a pipe line
to the Gulf of Mexico and construct
ing at least five relineries to be To-
Gated in the principal oil fields of this
state.
Oklahoma now produces 250,000 bar
rels of crude oil a day. A tax of 1Oc
a barrel for one year only would pile
up a fund of $9,125,OOO. This tax
would all be paid by the producers Of
oil. Three-fifths of it would fall on
the three operating pipe lines in the
state.
1t is estimated that a pipe line to
the Gulf would cost about $5,OO0,OoO
Another million dollars would con
struct and equip all necessary feed
ers. The remainder would be ample
to construct the five refneries. The
biggest refinery in the United States,
that at Whiting, Ind, costs less than
$2,OOO,O0O.
Within the last month Oklahoma
crude oil has been reduced in price
from 81 O5 to 75c barrel, total de-
crease of soc a barrel, or three times
the 1Oc a barrel tax that is suggested
as a way out. This reduction equals
enough to build three pipe lines to the
Gulf and fifteen refineries.
