have been quite interested in the state
forest asministr2 tiou Of Aus raia, says a
CORES pondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle. South Australia distinctly
leads the other other co.Onies. Tnis is so
for two reasons: First, that colony is
more in need of trees, aud in the second
place it has u more wise and business like
coneervatOr of forests. This gentleman,
j. Brown, comes from a family or for ST.
ers. He has been especially trained in
she subjecf, ard he is wall up in the mat
ter, backed By an unbouEded en thusiasm.
Practical results are being obtained in
various ways. At one time South Aus
tralia had TO import most of the sleepers
required for railway construction; she
now supplies all her own needs, some 500,
600 s!eepsrs having been obtained from
one reserve during the last seven years.
MIR. Brown has had planted 100000 Of
timber producing trees, and arrange
ments are now com pleted for planting
1000 900 more each year. Tbs depart
ment favOrs and encourages tree plant
ing by farmers and other land owners.
This Is done 10y supplying plants without
charge from the state nurseries. DdIinE
the last year over 100000 plants we're
glatuitousIy distributed, and by this
means the face of the country is being
neautifie6 d, and the value of many of its
agricultural holdings increased.

Practically everybody drank intoxicat-
ing liquors then, and while some of the
states had laws for Furnishing q man who
wss drunk in public, there were no tenn
perance societies. There WAS no store
that did not have the Jug of ram for its
customers, and few houses that did not
have there spirits for all callers A VERY
good article of new corn whisky could he
had for % cents gallon and rum did nos
cost more than half that sum. The
clergymen treated their visitors to rum
almost without exception. A very wide
ly known clergyman few years ago
gave the following as his own personal
experience when q boy in Vermont. He
said the only time he was ever intoxlcat
ed was in 1914, when the men in the con
gregstiunal church in Window county
Vermont, had Brought into thesfeld two
one-gallon jugs of rum and nearly every
one in the party was drunk before night.
The earnest organization to stem The tor
rent OF intern perance in this country WAS
"the Temperance Society of Moresu and
Northumberland" IN Saratoga county,
New York, which was instituted in March,
lS0S, and consisted of forty-three mem
bers. Oae of the rules of this society
was: No member shall be intoxicated,
under penalty of so cents" Another
was; mo member shall offer any of said
liquors run, gin, whisky, wine OF any
distilled spirits to any other member, or
urge any other person to drink thereof,
under penalty of 25 cents tor each
offense." This movement however, at
tanned no considerable momentum until
1928 1.

A NEW SECT,

South Carolina.

Which FlOurishes Among the Ignorant in
South Carolina
A correspondent of the Southern Chris
tian Advocate gives the following psrticu-
lars CT new religious community deveI-
oplng in the eastern part of south Caro-
lima: Some years aso, a mau by the name
OF Boyle, who had been Methodist, and
who resided near Lyuchburg in Sumter
county conceived the idea of founding
new sect. His followers we're at first
called True Light Baptists," but they are
commonly known as the "Soyleites." Tney
have spread up both sides of Lgnoh's river
through Sumter, Darlington, Kershaw
and Chesterfield counties aud perhaps
farther, taking hold Of the lowest and
most ignorant classes Their most
prominent aud popular doctrine Is, thai
1t is an objectionable SIN for a preacher
TO receive pay for his work, and this
closes their ears to the effort of the regu-
lar ministry. They claim that every
member Of ,heIr church Is inspired BY
God to interpret the scriptures, thus max
ing every one of both sexes ministers of
the Cos pei. Another fsvorite Edogmg Is
that they constitute the only true follos-
ers OF God, and that all other denomins
tions are heading straight for the devil.
They believe IN immersion, of course;
hrs with this distinction, that II must be
administered By Que Of their communion
TO be OF any avail. They reject the Old
Testament entirely; and receive only
such portions OF the New Iestsmens
as suit their purpose, rejecting any pas
ssses that are opposed TO their peculiar
belief, as unii PRED. They claim that
the observance of the Sabbath was abro
gated along with the Leviticai law, sud
hence reject Sunday as day 20 be OBJ

FOLDED HANDS.
MARGARET sANGSTER.

Pale. withered hands, that more than four-score
years
Had wrought for others; soothed the hurt of
tears.
Rocked children's cradles, eased the fever.s
smart.
Dropped balm of love in many an aching heart:
Now, stIrleSS folded like wan Iose-leaves pressed
Above the snow and silence of her breast;
In mute appeal they told of labors done
And well-eaTned rest that came at set of sun
From the worn brow the lines of care had swept
As If an angei's kiss, The While she silent.
Had sm0othed the cobweb wrinkles quite away.
And given back the peace Of childhood day.
An! on the lips the faint smile most SAID:
None know life'S secret but the happy dead -
50 gazing where she lay We knew that rain
And parting could not cleave her soul again.
And we were sure that they who saw her last
In that dim vista which We call the past,
Who never knew her old and laid aside
Remem beriDg best the maiden and The bride.
Had sprung 10 greet her with tile olden speech,
The dear sweet names no later lore can teach:
And W elcome home," they cried, and grasped
her hands;

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
Lengthy Discussion Over the Propose
New Road at Live Oak.

Lengthy Discussion Over the Proposed
New Road at Live Oak.
At the meeting of the Board of Super
Yisors yesterday, Chairman Tebbets re-
2 minded the Board that the county license
rate had not yet been fixed and suggested
that something should be done in that di.
rection as soon as possible. Some discus
sion was had on the subject and it was
finally postponed until some future meet
ing.
1t was decided to request Contractor Gro
ley and Engineer Stoddard to accompany
the expedition to the Costumes bridge to-
day with the Board to give what assistance
they could.
District Attorney Bruner appeared before
the Board, and, in answer to Inquiries from
the members, gave it as his opinion that
the demand of the Road Overseers for S.
per diem was legal and proper.
AT the afternoon session the matter OF
others for new road in Road District No.
3, was considered at length. Several farm
ers who own land through which the pro-
posed road passes appeared before the
Board and opposed the proposition. They
claimed that although the new road would
be great convenience it would so cut up
their farms that it would do more harm
than good. They said they would demand
heavy damages in case it were decided to
open the road. The matter was discussed
the entire afternoon and no conclusion was
reached
