Hanging May Baskets Surviving
Practice of the Old Roman Days

in sort Of arbar or bower, half-covered
with flowers. Before her the lads and
lasses danced and sang. Sometimes d
May pole was erected, often as high as
the mast Of vessel Of 100 tons, on which
the villagers suspended wreaths of flow
ers and around which they danced most
Of the day.
Another custom in England observed
May /, not so remote. was for dairy
women to decorate a mich COW with gar.
lands Of flowers and to lead the animal
along the streets. The maids themselves
wore wreaths of flowers on their heads
and light, fantastic dresses. Sometimes
there was a curious addition to this
choral troop in the form of a man, bear
ing a frame which covered the upper
half Of his person, on which were hung
a cluster Of silver flagons and dishes.
Each Of these articles were set in a bed
of flowers. With this extraordinary bur
den, the man, whose legs alone could
be seen, would dance. while the strange
pile above ratified noisily, to the general
amusements.
Although May was thus celebrated for
its beauty in sunshine and flowers, it
was considered an unlucky month in
which to get married. an idea coming
from Roman times 1t is still so re-
garded in several European countries
and that. no doubt. accounts for the
popularity Of June in this respect.

Celtic and Roman boys and girls did
several thousands Of years ago. The out

May / the date which many people
celebrate with festivals and dancing.
The early Romans had their Floralia or
Floral Games, the Celts had their Bel

custom is still kept up in parts Of Ire
land, the Isle Of Man and the Scottish
Highlands.
As early as the sixteenth century. it
was the custom in England for the mid

go forth al an early hour Of the morning

Their return from going-a-Maying was

BOWLING GREEN. Mo. April 30-ROy
Hammond, l8-year-old negro boy. who
brufally assaulted Virginia Carrel, IL
yesr-old white girl, was hanged by mob
yesterday.
As investigation got under way the
grim details Of the crime became known.
The assistant to the attorney general is
on his way to Bowling Green to aid in
the investigation.
Coroner James Hendricks. Of Pike
County, declared thai every effort would
be made to locate the guilty persons.
An inquest viii be held next week, and
Hendricks declared that he will start sery-
ing subpoenas al once. in an attempt to
identify the leaders Of the mob.
Virginia Carrel was attacked by the
negro when she was returning home from
work Wednesday night. He dragged her
into coal shed where they struggled
until the girl was rescued by her father
and brother. The negro fed. Later
Hammond was arrested. and in court was
sentenced TO ten years in the penitenii-
AIRY. Feeling ran high against him
Sheriff Moore decided to get the
prisoner out of town as quickly as pos
sible. They went to the railroad station.
accompanied by six deputies, and j, was
there that the mob appeared. Moore re-
fused to give up the negro to the mob
and retreated to an outbuilding Of the
station. The mob battered down the
door, and took the negro to Spruce
Farm, two miles distance. The officers
we're guarded TO keep them from reseu-
ing the prisoner.
AT Spruce farm a rope WAS thrown
over the limb Of a tree. and without
lying his hands, or blindfolding him. the
moose was thrown over his neck and the
negro was lifted ten feet from the
ground. He grasped the rope above his
head and begged for mercy. Gradual
ly his cries weakened: his hands lost
their grasp on the rope; and finally he
hung lifeless.
Then the mob dispersed. As soon as
the negro, was dead. the officers were
released.
A lew minutes later tramp came by.
The shoes on the feet Of the dead ne.
gro we're better than his own. He re.
moved the shoes and put them on his
own feet, leaving his shoes on the ground.
