Jew. An Indian win sell the shirt off his back for whisiry--the Jew will his for money. The Indians often if their wars murdered women and children and so did the Jews. By taking the Thirty-First Chapter of Members he will see that am not mfstaken.
 There was custom in my time among Injians--thst there were many crimes punishable by their laws--and could the perpetrators of those crimes escape and lay out until the Green Corn Dance and the reach the Dance Ground undiscovered--they would go unpunished. but In no instance have l known murder to go uupunished If the offender could be caught. The wind Family was a'llowedz-and 1t was law that they should punish a murderer at any and all times--but the other fan1i- lies were not allowed this privilege after a certain time.
 As to the meeting of those versed in Indian history, l would like much to attend such meeting; and if am in possession of any information that others have not would gladly fmpart it. Besides nothing could afford me more pleasure than to meet ct Mort- gomery. I should like to see now, as it Is a city, as I knew 1t forty years ago as a forest. But it is Q pleasure fear that my age and situation will deny me Such meeting. no doubt would be interesting to many, bring up much of the past that has probably been forgotten and be the means of explaining and doing away with many conflicting notions that have and do exist among, various persons in rela- tfon to Indians and their history. par ticuiarly those tribes that Inhabited Alabama.

 So, if these Indians have such a be- dfef they must have borrowed 1t from people who knew as little Of sucn things ias themselves. And even those that have instructed the Indians in their, belief of such there bel must have formed their religion. either from fear or ignorance of interest. for such has often been the case with those that pretend much more than the native Indian I have never heard of any such belief among those I have been aeauatnted with; and those that have converaed, with upon religion appear to have correct notions of the Deity. looked upon him as an Invisible Being who only made himself known through his works.

General Woodward Declares That the Spanish and Portugese Chroniclers Misrepresented the Indians and What DeSoto Found in Alabama.

In the third insallment of his Re- miniscences, given here, Oeneral Thomas s. Woodward who came to the Creek Nation in Middle Alabama long before the white settlers move3 in from the east attacks the accuracy of the Spanish and Portugese writers who accompanied De Soto and who wrote the accounts of the expedition, upou which much of the Indian his- tory of Alabama has been founded Gen. erai Woodward points out certain parts of these accounts which he eays are not only inaccurate. but which are ifsi- possible,
 1t will be recalled that General woodward somewhat convicng1y argued that the big fight between De Soto and TuskalooSa took place on the Taliapoosa a few miles from Mont. gonaery and not h Green Of Wilcox County where the spanish and Poftu- zese writers. according to time and geography placed IL.
 Al strong point in his attack on the accuracy of the historians of the De Soto, is his increduIity at the statement that the Spanish. having made slaves of many Indians forced them to carry their burdens nd do n1enial work about the camps. General woodward, and his assertion will be corr6borated by all men who have known the Indian character. declares that the indians would have committed suicide before they would have become slaves and in his memofy he knows of Idians who killed themselves rather than bconse slaves And so far as he has been able to learn there never was an Indian slave.
 He pronoucss impossible the story of the Spanish writers shat hogs were carried through the entire journey by the invaders and that many of them were left with the Alabama Indians for breeding purposes.
 He points out ths mistakes the writers make about ths Indian towns Of Tailassee and Tuckabtehie and their gross inaccuracy in describing the TaIlapoosa River. He says the point at which the Spanish crossed the Tailapoosa River in the month Of September could have been fofde1 by a pong at that time of the year ana certainly to one who Knows the river today that point it well taken.
 A special significance attaches to this letter of General Woodward be. cause the historians who have written of the Alabama Indians have accepted as true the account of these historians of De Soto Because of which the early Indian history of tho State Is based upon their assertions and writinEs.-- Editorial notes

LAWS AND CUSTOMS
 OF ALABAMA INDIANS

 In brief letter. written In answer to an inquiry from an Alabafisian. Gem eral Woodward describes part of the Indian's code of laws, That he had A code such ae it wtg could not pc denied. Again the old pioneer laughs at the theory that the Indiana were originality descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel He was cohvinced that there was absolutely notnins n that theory.
 He declares of his own knowledge that many of the accounts of the m : dians' laws and customs we're ekrone- ous, lie laughs again at the theory that the Indians did not permit Inter. marriage between members of fheir race and members Of other races, He answers that assertion by pointing 70 the many people of mixed Indian ana white blood and of mixed negro and Indian blood. It is well known In Alabama today that many prominent white people in some sections ot the State have a remote Indian ancestry and it is equally well known that many Alabama negroes have in them a strain of Indian blood.-Editoriai Note.)
