None of the hJsicians there can

5. q. Mills, secretary of the board

when suddenly he felt pain in his
eyes. He pushed with both hands
on his eyebrows, when they began
to ooze from bis eyelids ard the eye.
balls were suddenly protruded to
to the furthest limit OF the muscles
and nerves holding them, present,
ing an awful appearance. When
found he was perfectly rigid, the
eyes sticking out OF their sockets an
inch or more, and he was uttering
the most heartrending cries. The
case has puzzled the doctors greatly.
a number of theories being advanc-
ed, but none so far has been accept.
ed as proved. A rupture of some
blood vessel back of each eye is
probably the cause, but how this
was brought about or why it should
have occurred simultaneo usly in
each eye cavity is unexplained.
The eyes themselves evidently lost
all life at once, for not only was the
sight completely lost, but the eye
balls rapidly showed signs of degen>

1t is said that the demand for
Confederate pensions under the re-
cent amendment of the Georgia
pension law, making pensioners of
the aged and crippled, brought out
much larger number of benefci-
aries than was expected, and the ap-
preparation will fall far short of pay
ing them off. The Legislature ap-
propriared 100000 to provide for
this class of pensioners, which would
provide for 600 of them at $50 each.
Up to date, however, out Of 101
counties heard from, there are some
1000 applications, and careful es-
innate made up after correspoD-
dence with the ordinaries OF the
several counties show that the num-
Der who will be entitled to receive
pension money under the new law
will be two or three times greater
than the number that can be paid
out of the appropriation. Under
the precedent established when the
Widows pension law was passed
none of the pensioners can be paid
unless there is enough money to go
all the way around. The widows
pensions were held up year owing
to similar discrepancy between
the number OF pen9ioners and the
size of the appropriation.
