TWO DROWN AS AUTO
FALLS INTO CANAL
Woman and Chauffeur Victims
of Careless Driving at
Vicksburg.

Vicksburg, Miss, May 14.-Mrs.
Myrtle Schwinck, aged "a years, wife
of ]. G.. Schwinck, an engineer on
the Iron Mountain Railroad whose
home is in Alexandria, La, and a
white chauffeur of Canton, Miss,
name unknown, were drowned in the
Yazoo Canal in front of Vicksburg
this morning at o'clock, when a
Dodge car driven by the chauffeur
ran furiously over the ferrybarge
and ferryboat Peerless, breaking the
protecting bar on the boat and jump
ing rs feet beyond the boat, sinking
in Is feet of water.
James Reed, a railroad man of
Alexandria, who was on the front
seat with the chauffeur, managed
to jump out of the car and swan
ashore.
The body of Mrs. Schwinck was re-
covered by Capt. Chas. Price, mate
on the Royal Route steamer Senator
Cordill, who dived Ave times and A.
nally pulled her out of the car and
she was pulled from the water.
Men were endeavoring to recover
the body in time for resuscitation.
The body was recovered 80 minutes
after the auto sank in the canal and
several physicians and river men
worked heroically to restore life into
the body. A pulmoter was obtained
but after working two hours it was
decided the case was hopeless. The
body was prepared for burial and
will be taken to Alexandria tomor-
row by Mr.. Reed, in compliance with
a telegram received this afternoon
from Mr.. Schwinck.
1t is believed the chauffeur's body
has been washed down the canal in
to the river, as the current is about
three miles an hour and the bottom
of the canal is hard and smooth.
The cover was UP on the car and
the curtains drawn, so that Mrs.
Sehwinck was practically imprison-
ed in the machine and could not es-
cape. Her skirt was caught in some
way and was pulled off when Capt.
Price took her from the car.
They drove down the steep grade
two and one-half blocks to the canal.
First they went to the steamer Sen
ator Cordill and inquired if that was
the ferry. Upon being told the ferry
boat docked a block below, the
chauffeur backed his car, then came
full speed down the levee.
The ferry boat Peerless had just
come in and tied to her dock. The
chauffeur ran his car up the hill SO
yards, then turned and came full
speed to- the dock, crossing it and
driving over the boat without slow
ing. The car hit the safety bar, a
piece of stout oak, broke it and
knocked it 60 feet into the river, the
car following and dropping rs feet
from the boat.
No reason As assigned for the
speed Of the car, and Reed said he
tried to make the chauffeur slow
down, but no attention was paid to
his command. The automobile be-
longs to a Canton garage.

LEADER PRINTING
PRICES CHEAPER
Our Price $9.5O-Cty Price
$16.5O-CustOmer Saves
$500 on Small Job.

Just to see If we we're Gin line" as
it is called and as we do every "once
in so often" to see how our prices
compare with city prices on job
printing, we last week submitted a
piece of printing that had been
turned over to us to do to a New
Orleans firm and asked for their
price on it for the same number we
had been ordered to- print. This
city plant had formerly done the job
in question, which was an exact du-
plicate of the old order.
The Leader had given It's customer
price of $3.50 for the job. $3.50
was the quotation the New Orleans
house submitted us-a price $500
higher than we charged for iden-
tically the same piece of work.
This was quite saving, wasn't it,
on just a small order?
And there are still few people
but not many-who think they are
saving money by sending their print
ing out of townt The next time you
have such an idea call at our office
on phone 81 and we will convince
you that IT PAYS TO HAVE YOUR
PRINTING DONE IN YOUR OWN
HOME TOWN!

VICKSBURG MOB HANGS
AND BURNS NEGRO MAN
Assaulter Hung to Tree in Heart
Of Town, Oil Poured on His
Head and Set on Fire.

Vieksburg, Miss, May IA mob
of between 500 and 1000 persons
broke into the county Jail here to-
night, overpowered Sheriff Scott and
IL deputies, took Lloyd Clay, aged
"a. negro, from his cell, marched
him to the heart of the city and
hanged him with a rope to the limb
of an elm tree, at the same time
placing a bonfire under him, after
saturating his head iwth oil. The
negro died while a fusilade of shots
were being fred into his body. M.
G.. CockrolI, a deputy, was internally
injured with railroad iron the mob
had used to batter down the doors
Of the Jail.
Clay was arrested early today by
Sheriff Scott, on charges of having
assaulted white girl at the home of
a prominent citizen here. 1t is al
legged that he entered the girls room
early this morning. She screamed,
it was said, whereat the negro ran,
the girl tearing piece of cloth from
his coat. This was used to give a
pair Of blood hounds clue, and the
dogs trailed Clay to the Alabama g.
Vicksburg railway station here. He
was taken to Jail, where the young
woman was asked to identify him.
She told the authorities she was not
positive Clay was the negro. The
girl. 1t was said, was not injured.
Tonight a crowd assembled around
the js Sheriff Scott demonstrated
with pm, and while addressing the
.crC# Arailroad iron, in the hands
Of BIB, was brought into play.
T broke down three sets of
aually forcing their way
Eli. When they appeared,
CT Eoted as saying "Give me a
mi3 md I'll tell you who the 9TH
er is" but his words were
CHI MI loff, and the mob carried him
to Gsl9H street, where he was placed
on an automobile truck and taken to
the scene where the lynching occur
red.
The elm tree where the lynching
took place is near the home where
the alleged assault occurred. A rope
was fastened around Clays neck and
oil applied to his head. Clay, it is
said, tried to lift himself up by the
rope, and his hands were tied. AS
he was swung from the ground a
match was applied to his head and a
bonfire started under his feet. A
fusilade of shots into the body fol-
lowed. Charles Lancaster, an on
locker, was shot through the head
and it is believed he is fatally
wounded. Bennie Stafford, another
on-looker, was shot through the
arm. Clay's body was cut down
about ten o'clock and prepared for
burial.
Authorities said tonight the lynch
ing is the elimination of feeling
which has resulted from series of
attempts by negroes in Vicksburg
and vicinity to attack white women
and girls.

Recital by Under-Grades in the Pub
lie School.

The deferred recital of the under
grades of the Public School took
place Wednesday at two-thirty at
the Auditorium. 1t was delightful
entertainment, the children of the
different grades clearly evidencing
their grades of intelligence and COM
prehension of their work. We doubt
if any school in the state can show
better training in chorus singing,
piano playing or expression by the
lower grades.
Among the talented tiny readers
were Paula Evelyn Cohn and Ade-
line Moreton who charmed the aus
dience. Larger ones who did excel
lently we'll were Meredith Wood,
Bernice Dupree, Margaret Wood
ward, Audrey zwirn, Vandine KEGS,
Amanda Bee. Louise Day.
The piano players were Donnis
Pearl Brown, Frank Lee Parsons,
Louise Smith, Martha Montgomery,
Mamie Penn, Edna Whitehead, Ag-
mes Bass, Anna Meade Mathis.
Mr.. Byrd delivered certificates re-
ferred to elsewhere in this issue.

Sunday evening / went to the Albert

How Did You Die, which brought
back my boyhood school days when
my teacher, who was very fond of

More than half of my seventy-two
hours had expired when I-retired

The thought that Monday was my
last day in Paris inspired me to hur-

of the historical scenes. In the
morning the Louvre Museum was
closed, and hence I was deprived Of
seeing its vast art treasures.
Then, l went to the Hotel Elysee
Palace. which is now being used for
American Offices, to seek a Lieuten-
ant who had come with me to
France. / found that he was not in
the building, but had gone to Tours.
However, before me sat Sergeant

Woman Appointed School Trustee.

Gov. Bilbo has appointed Mrs.
Hugh L. White trustee of the Miss
issippi Industrial and Training
School, near Columbia.
This appointment sets precedent
in the state Of Mississippi wo-
man ever before having been made
a trustee of state institution. The
law under which this training school
was created provides that a woman
may be appointed trustee. and the
governor concluded it would be to
the best interest of the school in
which girls as well as boys are cared
for and trained, to have a woman on
the managing board.

No Need To Be Thin,
Scrawny Or SallOw

If you are thin and want to be
plump; if you have wrinkles in your
face that you are not proud of; if the
skin is sallow or subject to pimples or
blackheads, take Mona stomach tab
let's for two weeks and notice the
change.
The majority of the thin people are
thin because the stomach does not per-
form its duties properly. 1t is not Sc
creting sufficient of the natural di-
gestive juices and in consequence does
not extract from the food enough nu-
tritive matter to nourish every part of
the body.
Mi'o-na stomach tablets are intended
to build up the stomach so that it will
act properly and extract from the food
the elements necessary to form flesh.
If you are thin try two weeks treat
ment of Mona stomach tablets-they
are small, easily swallowed and are
sold on the guarantee of money back
if they do not overcome chronic indi-
g%estion, acute or chronic, stop stomach
disturbance, belching, heartburn, sour
stomach, and any after dinner distress.
