FOUR REPRESEN rATiVES
Pulaski, lO9, AGA.
From this statement 1t is seen that
franklin county has one represent
atve for 9,6s2 population while
Pulaski county has one for each s6-
s66 population. The following
counties, among the largest and
wealthIest IN the state, have only
one representative each: Crslghead
1854; Faulkner, 1881; Union,
30, SOL; Crittenden, 90, 500; Mississ-
Ippi, 1890; st. Francis, 2s, 1885.
It thus appears that while Frank
Inns representation is based upon
one for 9,6s9, Mississippi has but
one for 1880. The disparity Is
striking and demands most careful
consideration on the part Of tha law
makers. In the distribution of the
25 extra members os the House, 1t
is inevitable that some of the coun-
ties will lose and others will gain.
1t is unjust TO such counties as Mics
Isslppi and Crsighead that they
should have so small a representa-
ton as compared with smaller coun
ties like franklin and Conway. The
problem will not be an easy one to
solve for each county will neoes-ari.

Bullets were whistling around the
three fugitives. Gardner's companions,
both former soldiers serving sentences
for vicious crimes committed while in
the army, fell, one dead and tile other
seriously wounded. Gardner kept on
going.
The break by Gardner and the sight
of the gap in the barbed-wire fence
turned the $50 convicts in the prison
ward into wild animals frantic for
liberty. There was howl from $50
throats and the convicts started for
the fence. The guards had their hands
full controlling them, so Gardner made
