Franck, district organizer of the Tim

quarters at Seattle, Wash, was pelted
with eggs and struck several times
at Summrall near Hattiesburg, late
Saturday afternoon as he was getting
aboard Mississippi Central train
The crowd was composed of laboring
men and citizens. During the demon
stration someone fired shot, but no
one was injured.
Franck was accompanied to Sumrall
by William J.. Donnels, labor or
ganizer of New Orleans who, it is re-
ported did not take much stock in
Franck's alleged efforts at stirring up
strife.
At a melting at Hattiesburg Satur-
day night a delegation of union and
business men made it clear that such
agitators as he is reported to be would
not be welcome here to disturb the
friendly and amicable relations exist.

GEORGIA COMPANY
Awaiting PACKER
This Should Arrive Today From Hous
ton, Texas, When Immediate Test
of Well viii Be Made.

There is nothing new to report from
the Georgia Company's we'll in 4-7-5
All operations have practically beer
suspended since the 18th, awaiting the
arrival of a packer, which necessary
implement had to be manufactured in
Houston, Texas. Officials of the com.
pany state the test will be made just
as soon as the packer arrives and the
casing can be set. They are confident
of a good producing well, in fact Capt.
Bruce says he believes the well will
far exceed their earlier expectations.
The packer was expected to arrive
in New Orleans Wednesday night and
member of the company went over

the L. e N. However, it did not ar
rive Wednesday, but is confidently ex-
pected to reach here today.
The Seacoast Oil Co. has been drill
ing all week in a heavy gumbo and
she'll formation. They were down to
1858 feet Thursday afternoon. Mr..
Kenny, the new formation man, ar
rived Sunday and went on the job
Monday morning. He, together with
Messrs. Burkett and Bryant, the drill
ers, are watching every foot of the well
closely, and it is a cinch that nothing
will be passed up and no oil showing
overlooked. They are now resorting
to what is known in drilling parlance
as "rat-holing", which means drilling
first small hole to investigate forma-
ton and then following with roaming
out to standard size.
The drillers, as well as a number Of
prominent oil men who have been |
watching the operations, state that the
formation is indicative of oil or gas |
in large quantities and the log of the
well tallies perfectly with the forma-
ton in the big oil producing fields of
the costal region.

day signed the proclamation declaring

all intents and purposes part of the
constitution of the United Staes."
The secreary's signature was ar
fixed to the proclamation at his home
at o'clock this morning, q few hours
after he had received from Governor
Roberts OF Tennessee the certificate
that final favorable action on the
amendment had been taken by the
legislature of thct state, completing
the required thirty-six. The quiet
manner in which Mr.. Colby acted was
disappointment to suffrage workers,
who had hoped to make a ceremony
of his act, but they contented Them
selves with their own jubilation cere-
monies, including mass meeting here
tonight. They united in statements
that with the secretary's action moth
ing now can be done to prevent the
women from voting in November.
"The seal of the United States has
been duly affixed to the certificate and
the suffrage amendment is now the
nineteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition" Secreary Colby announced on
reaching his office two hours after he
had placed his signature to the procla-
nation. Later Mr.. Colby said inform
ally that he believed the ratification
had been completed when the thirty
sixth state legislature approved the
amendment, and that his action was
only simple, solemn announcement
of the fact.
