A SOUTHERN FUNCTION.

1t seems that the lynching recently
pulled off in Mississippi was very
nice affair. There was no rudeness
and everybody was extremely polite.
The best people of the county were
present to give the function Hang
Ing Of a Negro-that's all.
II wish you would please state
that the lynchings of Elmo Curl at
Mastadon, Miss, was most orderly
affair. conducted by the bankers,
lawyers, farmers and merchants Of
that county: The best people of the
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 a posse
to arrest him.
Mr., Miller went on to state that
when the assembled yeomanry of Pa
nola county bad : transferred Curl
from the main line of the Illinois
Central railroad to Mastadon they
halted under 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 I
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 ac-
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 fright before ne 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 sec 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 CT the
best people of that section took part
and | have never seen a more order

The foregoing account of a common
occurrence in the South, given in the
words Of the leader Of the mob is SO
excellent a picture of Southern Ameri-
can civilization that further comment
is unnecessary.

THE PERvERSE CAUCASIAN ED.
-- TORS.

1t is a remarkable fact that the eau
casion editors persist in speaking of
the Afro-Americans of the United
States as if they were as wild, ig-
norant and uncultivated as the tribes
of the jungles of Africa. For in
stances the Washington Herald says:
The Negro does not know by in
heritance or early training how to
care for himself, either as to temper
allure or sanitation. He still needs
supervision and instruction, even COM
pulsery, in such affairs of self-preser-
vaticn.'
The foregoing is true in reference
TO large fraction of the race, just as
1t is true of very large number of
Dotn races. So far as the North is
concerned, there is very little differ
enee in the intelligence or mode of
living CT members of the two races, if
we compare individuals Of about equal
means OF living. It would be hard to
find, in any part of the United States,
any Afro-Americans who need super
vision and instruction as to sanitary
matters so badly as the miners in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ac-
cording to the testimony of credible
witnesses, the miners live in condi-
ticn of utter disregard Of the rules of

HOW TO STAND HIGH IN TIE
SOUTH.

Every once in a while, in the South
some incident occurs which TENTS to
show that certain class Of Afro
Americans can stand very we'll in the
estimation of the white citizens.
In Alabama recently. more than che
thousand persons of the "best fa-n;-
lies attended the funeral CT an cid
body servant. School boys clauorad
for places as pall-bearers.
The South is always ready to Fay
honor to a faithful servant WHEN
HE is DEAD. In this case we pre-
sumo Bob had no higher ambition
than to be a servant and no. desire to
vote. No doubt he was good Mig
ger OF the halcyon days Of slavery.

That Afro-Americans should be-
come parties to the segregation plan
is 1nconceivable, yet many are doing
SO. THE APPEAL believes that
these members of the race, who are
in many instances, intelligent people,
are misguided and after they have
carefully considered the matter and
see the perils the plan entails will!
about face and refuse to segregate
themselves.
Better call halt now Unless seq
regation is stopped it will continue to
grow and it is not impossible that
within ten years the jimcrow car will
roll into Chicago.

slider well your actions!

FERROUS ways His wonders to perform.
Yet we are firmly of the opinion that
the apparently countrywide objection
to the exhibition of the Johnson-Jef-
fries fight pictures comes more from
race prejudice than from a moral
standpoint. Who believes for one, min
ute, that had Jeffries been the victor
at Reno, there would have been any
objection to showing the pictures Of
him bringing back the white mans
hope?"

Foreign governments send thou
sands of criminals to the United
States every year because it is cheaper
to do that than to support them at
home. They are received with great
JOY by the Caucasian-Americans who
treat them with greater consideration
than they do Afro-Americans of ster-
ling worth.
