Scores Of married men who have
visited the great pigeon loft in st,
Louls have had revealed to them by
this feathered Louis have aad revealed
to them by this feathered clan some
beautiful examples of domestieity,f Z
The most predominant trait in the
character Of the homing pigeon, of
course is his love for home His birth
place, the loft in which he is bred, rear
ed and trained, is home and no other
spot on earth, no matter how alluring
has any interest for him. He may be
carried off, miles from home, and toss
ed into space. Eventually he will re
turn 1t may take days, or it may be
only matter of hours, but no anXi
ETY. is felt on the part of his mate, for
she knows that he will be back sooner
or later. Devotion to mate and their
young, and love of home is so domi-
nant in their nature that they are
oblivious to all else.
There are no slackers in these
families. Both male and female do
their part toward making home. The
male finds the materials of tobacco
stems, and the female sets berself to
the task of actual nest building. Once
mated, pigeons remain mated for life.
They never waiver in their constancy
and loyalty to and love of mate. At
the age of three months the young
pigeon looks about for his wife and
once he wins her, and this only after
the most ardent wooing, he is hers
till death and he slaves for her and
their progeny from dawn till dark,

TO UGLY WORDS
OF GOVERNOR
SUMRALL PEOPLE TRY TO CON
VINCE GOVERNOR RUSSELL
THAT THEY ARE NOT
GANGSTERS, THUGS OR
OUTLAWS

Sumerall, Miss-Smarting uHder
the ugly words which were uttered u
a statement made by Governor kusseli
recently regarding the actions OF Ger
tain citizens of this place, and deter
mined not to leave the words so uh-
challenged a statement has been sent
TO Governor Russell signed by many
of the leading citizens of TINS place
The statement reads as follows:
The Statement.
Inasmuch as Governor Lee M. kus-
sell. in statement given out through
the public press under date OF oepI'
. 1920, without first consulting the
neoule of Sumrall, but accepting m-
oualifedly the statements OF one, -
ii. Franck, charged that certain cltl--
zens of Sumrall have been guilty OF
"gangsterism, thuggery and outlaw
~" in connection with an assault on
c. H. Franck.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, hav-
ing investigated the matter, beg 10
make the following statement IN oe-
half of our community. -.
When Franck came to our town II
was known that he had been requested
some months before to leave Pasca,,
goula. Miss, because 1t was charged
that he had been the instigator ana
breeder of strikes, trouble and strife
in that community, and that both union
and non-union men had joined IN the
request that he leave and not return:
il was reported also that ne mad
come to our town for the purpose OF
organizing a local International I'm
E.rworkers' d Union, the domicile OF
wi ich is Seattle, Wash, wherein whites
and negroes would all be in the same
organization and on common level.
it was the opinion that a man OF
Francks reputation and ideas OF ra
cial equality and association, should
not be permitted to foist himself upon
our community. Our citizens felt that
our community was enjoying peace and
tranquility and did not need advice or
assistance of outside Influence: he
was so informed and agreed. TO leave,
but said he would return, and carry
out his purose. and IL was only then
that our people felt the sense of out
rage which they could not control and
gave him a shower of eggs.
The people of Sumrall are lawabid
ing and patriotic, and purpose that
the community shall continue so, and
our people are guided by pure motives.
-
The above was signed by the Mayor
and other town officials, as well as
all the ministers, doctors, lawyers,
and professional men and merchants
and other business men Of Sumra.l.
They are the same type Of men fouha
in every town in the state, ana th'
governors TRADE for political bucombe
is an insult not only to Sumrall but
TO every intelligent citizen of the
State.
