Two more TRUSTEES, making six
in all, have escaped from the
Rankin prison farm since the
trouble there over the. whipping
of a convict by sergeant Rainey,
who was discharged for it. The
last pair rode off on two of the
best mules on the place. Work
all convicts under the gun, feed
them good, clothe them good,
house them good, whip them
good when they deserve it and
hire competent men to do the
work that TRUSTEES have been
doing and the troubles will
cease.
