who are attacking Congressman Turner
than that of "goldbug" Considered in

morning, Gov TUrney of Tennessee has
taken a firm and commendable stand
against the practice of lynching He be-
lieves it can be stopped, and says it shall
be, if there is power in the governors

rate the fact remains that the lake did
not check the progress Of the fire.
