In records of the case were produced.
It shows that Elisa Bunnell, an aunt

Ed Johnson lynching. The three men
are Henry Padgett. Frank Ward, now
of Nashville, and William May. He
said Padgett remurked to hint on the

"The members of the State Agri

tlons Indorsing a state appropriation
for premiums. The Farmers' Union
has also taken favorable action and
great pressure will be brought to bear
upon the next legislature In un effoi
