TRUE LIGHTS.
South Carolina Religionists Who Reject the
Old Testament, Sunday Observance and
Preachers Who Expect Pay.

COLUMBUS, s. c., July 9 Some years
ago man by the name of Boyle, who
had been Methodist. and who resided
near Lynchburg, in Sumter county, con-
ceived the idea of forming a new sect.
His followers were at first called 'sTrue
Light Baptists, but they are commonly
known as ''Boylites. - They have
spread up both sides of Lynch s river
through Sumter, Darlington, Kershaw
and Chesterfield counties, and perhaps
further, taking hold of the lowest and
most ignorant classes. 1t is not a large
denomination, but It's followers are very
stubborn in their belief, so that it is
almost impossible TO reclaim one of them.
Their most
PROMINENT AND POPULAR DOCTRINE
is that it is an objectionable sin for
preacher to receive pay for his work,
and this closes their ears to the efforts of
the regular ministry. They have no reg
ular ministers, but claim that every
member of their church Is inspired of
God to interpret the Scriptures, thus
making every one of both sexes, minis
tiers of the gospel. II is not uncommon
other favorite dogma is that they consti-
tute the only true followers of God, and
that all other denominations are heading
straight for the devil. They believe in
immersion, but that it must be admins
tered by one of their communion to be of
any avail. They
REJECT THE OLD TESTAMENT
entirely, and receive only such portions of
the New Testament as suit their purpose,
rejecting any passages that are opposed
to their peculiar beliefs as uninspired.
They claim that the observance of the
Sabbath was abrogated along with the
Levitical law, and
HENCE REJECT SUNDAY
as day to be observed in the worship of
God. They perform ordinary work on
Sunday, or engage in any sports that
they desire, and have been seen fiddling
aud dancing on that day. They believe
in the damnation of the infants of
unbelieving, i. e., non Boylite parents,
who die in infancy. They believe in
the social equality of the races. AS a
rule, dense ignorance prevails where they
flourish. A man who once taught 81
school in a neighborhood where they now
claim the majority of the people as their
adherents, said that only two of the
sixty pupils in his school knew their let
tiers when they first came to him. Gen
orally they will not permit a minister of
the gospel to read the scriptures or en-
gage in prayer in their houses; and if
they concede that much to him, they
laugh and talk while he pFays and pay no
attention whatever to him.

How Women Rest.
New York Graphic


How differently men and women in
dulge themselves in what is called a rest
ing spell. 81 guess III sit down and
mend these stockings and rest awhile, -
SAYS the wife; but her husband throws
himself upon the easy lounge, or sits
back in his arm chair, with hands at
rest and feet placed horizontally upon
another chair. The result is that his
whole body gains full benefit of the
half hour he allows himself from work,
and the wife only receives that indirect
help which comes from change of
occupation. a physician would
tell her that taking even ten minutes
in horizontal position, as a
change from standing or sitting at work,
would prove more beneficial to her than
any of her make-shifts at resting. Busy
women have habit of keeping on their
rect just as long as they can. in spite of
baekaehes and warning pains. As they
grow older they see the folly of permit
ting such drafts upon their strength, and
learn to take things easier. letwhat will
happen They say: - used to think
must do thus and so, but I've grown
wiser and learned TO slight things
The first years of housekeeping are truly
the hardest, for untried and unfamiliar
cares are almost daily thrust upon the
mother and home- maker.

MeteOrs as Big as Flour Barrels.


DR.. S. L. Perkins of Springfield wit
messed the fall of meteors Wednesday
night in Prince Georges county. 1.-THE
night was quite dark - he said yester-
day in describing the phenomenon, ''and
the sudden flash caused by the shooting
meter was startling.g A huge glowing
mass seemed to descend from the heavens
at an angle of forty five degrees. 1t was
an irregular mass, about the size of
flour barrel, and of great brilliancy-a
glowing red heat. The country for miles
around was lit up for few seconds. 1t
seemed to fall about one mile to the
southwest of Bowie As soon as |
regained my equanimity, for the
wonderful sight took my breath and
elected a scream from my wife and chill
dren. l looked at my watch. 1t was
$3.50. The second meteorite fell about
forty minutes later. 1t was even larger
than the first, and much brighter. As
near as L could judge, it fell about two
hundred yards from the first. [ have
seen meteorites fall before, but none so
bright as this. The people Of Bowie
had much the same story to tell Every
one for miles around thought it had
fallen but few hundred yards from his
farmhouse. Capt. Edward Leonard of
the steamer Ida reported having seen a
meteor on wednesday night as the
steamer was going up the Tread Avon
river to EastOn Point. During the pas
sage of the meteor the sky had the ap-
peaTance of solid sheet of fire.

To the Gazette.
/ notice you are agitating the sorghum
sugar industry, and as THE GAZETTE is
noted for getting everything it asks for
hope you will keep the diffusiye process
of manufacturing sugar before the capt.
talists of Fort Worth. Now is the time to
agitate the matter IN order to have q
mill built ready for next years crop.
There is plant near Richmond, Tex
that is manufacturing sugar from sor-
ghum by the diffusive process. And in
order that the matter may be properly
brought before the people, [ would sug-
gest that there be facts and figures pub
lished from time to time until we have
mill IN full blast. The present high
price of sugar and It's upward tendency
seems to be a good time to press this
matter to successful issue. I planted
some sorghum last year. cut two heavy
crops from 1t. / gathered a few stalks

We call special attention to the adver-
tisement on the next page of the Parce
Orange Sizer. This sizer Was exhibited
at the Manatee Orange Growers Union
last Saturday, where it was in successful
operation and it is declared to be the best
machine for sizing oranges ever produced.
It is light, can be carried about under the
arm and is rapid and true in motion.
Call at the store of F. ]. Wiley and ex-
anime the sizer, and leave an order with
them for one to size your crop. The price
of single sizer is $15- percen off for
cash with order. A double sizer is $25.
The double sizer is very convenient for
sizing ''brights' on one side, and "rus-
sets" on the other. Mr.. ParCe has also
a Box-Press and Carrier, which is handy
and very helpful, for it presses the cover
down, and holds it, so that the mailing
and hopping is much more easily accom-
plished than by the old method, and being
on wheels, it turns to acc immediate the
workman, and when the box is closed
and hooped, you roll tito the place want
ed and deposit on end ready for mark

DeLand on the Orange Belt.

To the Editor of the SUPPLEMENT:
DeLand is so we'll represented on the
Orange Belt Railroad that it might not
be out of place to exchange "howdy's",
once in while, and if you will send me
your valuable paper now and then will
in return write you word or two about
this sec ton and how the old DeLand
boys are getting along over here.
Our Superintendent, Mr.. +. E. Bond,
has done remarkably well for his old De-
Land friends and if any of you will take
trip over our road you will see a good
many of the old faces, and the pleasure
of meeting old familiar sfaces together
with the pleasure of visit through this
section of the country should be enough
inducement for such trip. Among the
old DeLand boys here employed are,
"Curley" Beardslee, j. IF Cook, Happy"
Burt Dare, and last (?) Dicky old boy.
Somebody over there can probably tell
you who that is.
Beardslee and Cook are both running
passenger trains and Burt is our store
keeper, timekeeper and Purchasing
agent. Dick is trying to hold down the
station here at Oakland and is also car
Accountant. Starting at Sanford and
going through to st. Petersburg the south
ern terminus one has pretty long ride
and passes through some of the finest
lands in this State, distance of 153 miles.
Every Saturday we are running an ex
cursion through both ways for the ex-
tremely low price of 81 so round trip,
returning from Sanford Saturday and
from st. Petersburg, Sunday.
