From the Truckman.

A woman crossing a crowded thor
oughfare hesitated in the middle of
the road, with all the uncertainty of
a hen when motor car is bearing
down upon her. A truck was about
to settle the question one way or the
other when the driver called out: IF
1 was you I wouldn't move. I'd stay
there. We could carry you away aft
erward."
It was said with such infectious
good nature that once more was the
lie given to the old saying that women
have no sense of humor. Directly
this woman reached the sidewalk she
turned around and gave the man just
as bright smile as she got.

L wish you would please state
that the lynching of Elmo Curl at

lawyers, farmers and merchants Of

county, as good as there are any
where, simply met there and hanged
Curl without sign of rowdyism.
There was no drinking, no shooting,
no yelling and not even any loud
talking"
This was the statement made by a
well dressed, nice looking man who
entered the Memphis Commercial
Appeal office, and asked to have the
account published. He proved to be

J. d. Miller, tax assessor of, Concor-
dia parish, La, and the brother OF W.
P. Miller, who was shot by Curl at
Mastadon several weeks ago when
Mr.. Miller went at the head of posse
to arrest him.
Mr.. Miller went on to state that
when the assembled yeomanry of Pa
nola county had transferred Curl
from the main line of the Illinois
Central railroad to Mastadon they
halted under a well-limbed tree within
forty feet of the cabin from which
Curl shot young Miller
"When the party arrived there"
continued Mr.. Miller, they asked me
what were my wishes in the matter.
Their courtesy to me could not have
been surpassed. I told them that
did not believe in brutality, nor did I
approve of mutilation of bodies or the
torture of slow burning, but that I
would like to have the privilege &C.
corded me of making first pull on the
rope. All accorded to my wishes in
the matter.
But I believe that the Negro was
dead from freight before he was haul
ed up from the ground. The knot was
tied at the back of his neck and he
was pulled up slowly from the
ground. There was no jerk or fall,
yet he never kicked, and so far as we
could see no muscle ever moved after
he was hoisted into the air. In fact
we had to lift him to his feet, as he
seemed unable to stand All of the
best people of that section took part
and have never seen a more order
ly assemblage anywhere"
The foregoing account of a common
occurrence in the South, given in the
words of the leader of the mob is SO
