REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO. Winaton-Salem. N C. Probably the strangest mixture of the ancient and the modern, and of Christian and pagan rites, which can be seen in the world today. Is the an­ nual Mexican festival of the "Mata­ chines." No white man can tell exnctly what Is the significance of this festival, which Is celebrated tn all parts of the Mexican republic .every sitring. Those who take part in it are typi­ cal Mexicans of Indian and Spanish blood, with some purebred Indians among them. The fiances are much like the war and harvest dances of the Apaches, Comanches and other south­ western Indians, except that many of the dancers nourish swords, and wear by way of decoration, the tin tops of beer bottles. The dancing is kept up for two or three days, and the ceremony ends with a dance about a great wooden cross which Is set on a high hill near tile town. This would seem to show a Christian influence, and It probably does, but the cross is known to have been sacred to ancient Aztecs. In­ deed, thl&.whole ceremony Is undoubt­ edly one of Aztec origin, with Chris­ tian elements added. This bewildering mixture of pagan and Christian religion Is seen through­ out the Southwest. The “Penitentes Hermanos” of Mexico and New Mexi­ co are another example. On every Good Friday they whip theumelves un­ til the blood comes, as a penance, and crucify one of their number with ropes. These fanatics claim to be Christians, hut their practices have been condemned by the church, and like the Matachines can be traced back to Aztec times. Use of the Injunction Is a feature of the law almost as old as the Insti­ tution of trial by jury. It was first used In 1382, when the king of Eng­ land empowered the chancellor to issue writs restraining the barons from over- . riding the common law courts. The principle of injunction dates back fur- ■ ther still to Roman law: "It is clas­ sified in the Inw as one of the ‘ex­ traordinary writs.' Its essential pur­ pose Is to prevent the doing of a wrong whose effects. If consummated, would , be irreparable. In other words. In- stead of waiting for a threatened wrong to work Its damage, which a law court might redress by punishment or the assessment of damages, the equity court steps In with Its ‘extraor­ dinary writ’ of Injunction to prevent the damage being done. Its twin Is mandamus, which commands perform­ ance of certain rights nnd duties, while the province of injunction Is to forbid performance of certain acts which might interfere with rights or result in wrongs.” VAUGHN’S, the Original and Best.
