MAY CHANGE
REPRESENTATION
Census of 1910 May Cause Some
Old Counties to Lose One
Representative.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 6.—Some
swapping in representative of
the general Assembly is due in
the apportionment which is being
figured upon by the Apportion
ment Committee of the senate
and house, and quite a few of the
older counties of the state are
sure to lose representation, while
a. number of the fast growing
ones will make material gains.
The largest gain is in Pulaski
county, where seven representa
tives will be urged. The consti
tution will not permit more than
100 members of the house, so the
reapportionment will have to be
made on the 1910 census, and the
counties which stood still, or lost
population, will lose to the ones
which have added to their popu
lation. According to the estim
ates of the committee, the coun
ties will be allowed one repre
sentative for every 3958 popula
tion, or fraction over one half.
It is reported unofficially, that
“Foley’s Honey and Tar is the
best cough remedy I ever used as
it quickly stopped a severe cough
that had long troubled me,”
says J. W. Kuhn, Princeton, Ne
braska. Just so quickly and
surely it acts in all cases of
coughs, colds, la grippe and lung
trouble. Refuse substitutes.—W.
.E. BEVENS’.

Warning to Railroad Men
Look out for severe and eves
dangerous kidney and bladder
trouble resulting from years o!
railroading. George E. Bell, 633
Third St., Fort Wayne, Ind., to
many years a conductor on the
Nickel Plato. He says: “Twen
ty years of railroading left my
kidneys in terrible condition,
j There was a continual pain acres
my back and hips and my kidney
gave me much distress, and the
action of my bladder was fre
quent and most painful. I got a
supply of Foley’ Kidney Pills
and the first bottle made a won
derful improvement and four bot
tles cured me completely. Since
being cured I have recommended
Foley Kidney Pills to many of
my railroad friends.”—W. E.
