THE OAPITAJD evehixg joubnal. PIOUSSHEBMANITES. A Peoullar Class of PeopuTLlving In Alabama. w r .4 Thor Are Honest, Temperate, Wash One Another! Feet, Hat Merer Cut Their - Hair flellgloua Enthusiasts Full of Quaint Concelti. Tho other day & rough-looking country man walked Into a general supply storo In this city and stated to the proprietor that ho wanted to purchase $100 worth of goods on credit, writes a Birmingham (Ala.) cor respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Tho man wore his hair long like a woman, and his beard reached al. most to his waist. His clothes were all madoathomo; they were 111-flttlng and of tho cheapest material, and altogether ho was a strange specimen of humanity. "What is your name!" asked the mer chant, when tho man stated his business. "John Smith," answered tho countryman. "When can you pay for tho goodsl" "I'll pay you in November, when I sell my cotton crop." "All right, Mr. Smith; you can havo the goods." Tho goods were soon loaded on Bmith's wagon, and ho drove away without giving the merchant a note or any kind of security. "Do you know tho man!" X asked of tho merchant "Never saw him before." i "Will he pay you for those goods!" "Certainly." I "How do you know!" "Because he Is a Shermanlte. He Is "a member of a remarkable religious society, and If ho failod to pay a debt ho would be expelled from his church, and driven from tho community In which he lives, In dis graco. I may not s eo or hear of him again until next November, but if he is living he will come and pay me every cent he owes me. Tho Shermanites all wear their hair long liko this one, and they are easily rec ognfzod any where." In Lced's Valley, In the northwestern part of this county, thero Is a colony of Shermanites. There are about one hun dred families, and a happier, more content ed people can not bo found in the wor'd. Their religious rites and ceremonies are peculiar. Who founded the Bocioty none of them seem to know, but it is very old, as tho fathers and grandfathers of the present generation were Shermanites. They claim to follow tho teachings of tho New Testa ment in spirit and letter, and thoy behove that only Shermanites will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. They have churches and preachers and worship In a manner similar to many other religious sects. One of their peculiar rites Is the washing of feet. A foot-washing service is held once every month, at which the preacher washes the feet of every member of tho church. The members then in turn wash the feet of the preacher and of each other. This service usually lasts all day, being interspersed wiin singing ana praying. , Members of all other religious denomina tions thoy regard as heathen, and send missionaries among them instead of send ing them to foreign lands. Shermanites never cut their hair or beard, claiming that Christ never patronized barber-shops. In every home may be found ancient wood cuts representing Christ and His Apostles as wearing long hair and beard. A Sher manlte who falls from grace is lost forever, and he must always live up to certain moral and business rules which are very rigid. To pay all debts is a part ol tbeir religion. No man can be saved, they say, who does not pay his neighbor what he owes him. They never charge one another interest on a loan, and no written acknowledgment of a debt is ever given. The word of a Sher manlte Is his bond, and it becomes his sacred duty for him to fulfill every promise made. They are an industrious people be cause industry is a part of their creed. The Shermanites are all small farmers, but most of them own their farms and some stock. Many of them are compelled to purchase a few supplies In this city every summer, for which they aro unable to pay cash. Where their peculiar religion is known they have no troublo in obtaining all the credit they want. They give no notes or security of any kind, but merchants who bare done business with them for years have never lost a dollar due from a Sher manlte customer.. Their preachers accept no pay for preaching the Gospel, working on their farms during the week as hard as any member of the Church. Divorce is something unknown among these people, and tho women are all virtuous. Drunkenness Is another vfce un known among these people, as they follow to the letter the advice of the Apostle, who said; "Be temperate in all things." Their homes aro models of neatness and comfort, and the stranger is always welcome within their gates. It would be almost an Insult to tender them payment for food, lodging or any other favor shown a stranger. The Shermanites make few converts to thoir peculiar religion, but thoy lose no members, and seem happy and contented In simply holding their own. One remarkable thing about them is that they will havo nothing to do with courts and lawyers. A law-suit in which a Sher manlte was plaintiff can not be found on the court records of this country. They never seek legal advice unless It is actually nec essary. All their differences are settled by arbitration, mutual friends being the arbi trators, and the civil courts are never under any circumstances resorted to. They seek in every way possible to avoid Jury duty or being summoned as witnesses in any cases. They toko no part In politics, and n Bhonnanlte was never known to hold on office of any kind. Some of them vote at overy election, but they have no campaign clubs'in their community, and every man is allowed to vote as he pleases, Many of them never vote at all. ' Tns) first settlers of this Suermanlta col ony came to Alabama from South Carolina and Georgia about forty-five years ago. Tho oldest ot them say their ancestors came originally from New England, but they are unable to ay who was the founder of their society. Win POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
