Blond Indians.

One of the mysteries of Mexico ls
presented by the Maya Indians, who in
habit the Sierra Madre mountains, in
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students of ethnology have always been
puzzled to account for them. There is a
tradition, however, that these Indians
are the descendants Of the crew and
passengers of Swedish vessel wrecked
on the Mexican coast centuries before
Columbus discovered the new world,
but this tradition is founded On nothing
more substantial than a folklore tale
current among them that their ancestors
came over the big salt water hundreds
of moons ago.
The Mexicans have never been able to
conquer this people. Nominally, indeed,
they are under Mexican rule, but really
they are governed by their own chief,
and whenever the Mexican government
has interfered with them they have TAX
en- up arms, getting the best of the
scrimmage every time. Their nearest
Indian neighbors are tho Yaquis, and
these two warlike tribes have reciprocity
down to fine point. Each helps the
other when the Mexicans attack them.
The Mayas live principally by the chase,
although they cultivate some corn and
garden truck The laen are large and
we'll formed, and some Of the women are
remarkably handsome blonds. - Ohio

THE PAYMENT OF PENSIONS.
In Few Days the Veterans win Begin tC
Receive Their Annual Stipend.

In Few Days the Veterans VIII Begin to
Receive Their Annual Stipend.
The confederate veterans of Terrell, as
well as those of other counties, who are
entitled to receive pensions from the state
will soon be made glad by the annual
distribution of dollars, as the payment
of pensions has begun.
There are three classes of pensioners
on the rolls-the INDECENT veterans, who
are paid off first, the widows and then
the invalid soldiers, who receive their
pay last. During the next sixty days the
state will pay out 100000 in pensions.
The last legislature appropriated an ad-
ditional $40 900 to the INDECENT pension
roll. This was necessitated by the fact
that / ,346 names were added last year.
The appropriation then not being sufi-
cient each of these received only $50,
There is no appropriation for back pen
sions, but for 1898 all of those on the roll
will receive the full amount. The appro-
priation for this class of pensioners is
S180,000.

SOLDIERS ORDERED TO MOVE.
DAWSON GUARDS ESCORT PRISON
ERS TO MORGAN.
Lynching Is Feared if the Negroes
Charged with the Assassination
of King Are Acquitted,


Yesterday morning at twenty min
untes to tour o'clock. after spending
the night in their armory, the officers
on horseback and the privates in
hacks with forty rounds of ammuni-
ton each, the Dawson Guards, under
command OF Captain F W. Clark,
lett the Terrell county prison sstor
Morgan in Calhoun county.
Surrounded by the soldiers as the
procession moved off was hack con.
tanning Deputy Sheriff Charles Nc
Daniel of alhoun county, a driver
and three negroes--General Fisher,
John Bailey and Jesse Handy, charg>
ed with the assassination of Mr.. Ju-
liam King near Morgan on the Both
of November last.
The prisoners were being take to
Morgan for trial, their cases having
been set for 10 o'clock yesterday
morning before Judge Spence of the
Albany circuit, and the Guards went
under the order of the governor to
protect the negroes from threatened
mob violence.
When King was killed and Fisher,
Bailey and Handy were arrested,
charged with the murder, fiery wave
of indignation swept over Calhoun
county, and had not the negoes been
hurried out of Morgan and broughtito
the Terrell county prison they would
undoubtedly have been summarily
dealt with, a mob invading Morgan
for that purpose only short while
after the prisoners had been started to
Dawson.
At the last session of Calhoun
superior court all three OF the ne
groes were indicted and bench wars
rant issued against Jack Ingram,
a white man who appeared at the in
vestigation as a witness, charging
him with completely in the crime.
The tour men were indicted in the
same bill, and all will be tried this
week.
The evidence against the accused
IS merely circumstantial and not of
a strong character, and there seems
to be a general opinion that they will
not be convicted. In that case troub>
le is feared, and it was for this
reason that the governor ordered the
Guards to Morgan at the request of
Judge Spence and Solicitor-General

MAJ. ]. N. Morrison, who is assist
ant to the Judge Advocate of the U. s.
Army and high authority on mill
tary matters, says that there is no
provision in the volunteer army act
for any State, or the Governor or any
officer thereof, to enlist any one for
either the regular or volunteer branch
OF the army, or for them to have any
thing to do with the raising of either
branch, except that the Governors are
to appoint certain designated officers
of the volunteer branch. The enlisted
men are obtained in the same way in
both branches-that is by volunteer.
ing. The Governors have no more au-
thority to raise the volunteer branch
than to raise the regular branch, and
it is not likely that one of them has a
single dollar in the State treasury that
can lawfully be used for raising either
branch.

ANOTHER popularity of his accidcncy's
methods is that, as commander-in-

the subordinates in command, instead
of through his staff officers. The
other day, it is said, he telegraphed
directly to the captains OF the several
companies of the National Guard for
information. Whether it is through,
ignorance or arrogance that properties
are ignored, matters but little, rs it
only seems to indicate the bent of the

tinually before the eyes of the public.
