BITTERJTRUGGLE
Injunction To Be Sought To
Prevent Solicitor Bringing
Cases To Trial
ATLANTA, Nov. 26—Plans of
the Atlanta, New York and New
Orleans cotton brokers who were in
dicted here Monday on charges of
“dealing in futures on margins'’ in
alleged violation of .the Geoigia
statutes, to throw the entire matter
into the federal courts were divulg
ed here recently in n statement by
N. L. Vickery, a brok"r. Mr. Vick
ery was one of those indicted yes
terday and is chairman of a com
mittee of brokers named in the in
dictments.
The brokers will appeal to the
federal courts, Mr. Vick"iy said, for
an injunction to halt Solicitor Gen
eral John A. Boykin in his efforts
to bring the case to trial. Mr. Vick
ery said that appeals for the in
junction will be made under the
.Smith-Lever cotton futures law un
der which, it is said, the New York
and New Orleans Cotton Exchanges
operate.
Hardwick Retained
The brokers have retained form
er Governor Thomas W. Hardwick
to conduct their case in conjunc
tion with Winfield P. Jmies, attorn
ey for the Atlanta Commercial Ex
change and Judge A-tnur Powell,
who is attorney for jour houses
operating in Atlanta which were

The total of brokers indicted was
brought to 46 today with the indict
ment of Dr. J. F. Buchanan and
James Smith, said to be local brok
ers,
Brokers last night were confident
their petition for a federal injunc
tion directed against Solicitor Gen
eral Boykin would be granted, but
they said in event it was not, re
course wodld be taken to higher
federal courts. They said they were
prepared to take the matter to the
supreme court of the United States
if necessary.
, These declarations met Mr. Boy
’ kin in a fighting mood “111 be rigot
there to meet any fight they make,”
he declared. “This is a matter the
federal government has nothing to
do with. It is a state law that has
r been violated and is purely a state
[' matter the government has no
: right to interfere.”

SWAN GOBBLE
OF A TURKEY
BY A. GOBBLER
Written for the Times-Recorder
Barnyard, u. s. a„
Nov. 26. What do you
mean, * THANKS giving?
I ask after having discovered
the “key" to turkey.
I’ve been feasted and fed
Till I’m heavy as lead;
Oh, they’ve given me food that
was fine.
But today I found out
What the fuss was about
And tomorrow I’m gonna get
mine.
EVERY time I have picked
up a kernel of com, it was
a peck of trouble. Right
now I’m struttin’ my stuff—but
wait— • I
There had to be some mighty
good reason for the way I’ve
been fed—and there was:
They’ve ben fixin’ the ax
Till no sharpness it lacks.
It’s a sight that’s displeasing to
see.
The grindstone is singin’,
While swingin’ and swingin’
And soon ’twill be swingin’ on
me. i
SUCH wonderful., treat
ment, plus the fact that
they’ve been sharpening
the ax for my sole benefit, per
haps should go to my head. It
will!
And I don't mean the treat
ment.
Whatever I have done I'm
gonna be picked to pieces for
it.
And then, day after tomor
row:
If there’s fairness at all,
Everyone will recall
Just how lovely and tasty 1
looked.
Then, they soon will forget,
And I’ll lay you a bet
That the next day my hash will
be cooked-
THAT’S bad enough.
(All hash is.) But I stoll
..have a service to per
form. And I won’t have back
bone enough left to refuse to
do it.
They will still call me game,
But I won’t look the same
As I did when I lived in a
coop.
Oh, the thought of it’s grim,
Yet I’ll be in the swim,
Or, in other words, right in the
soup.
I
I T’S more appropriate for
me to say cranberries,
than raspberries. But 1
mean it the same way.
If a turkey could laugh I’d
sure get a good one out of the
expression THANKS giving.
When it comes to that
THANKS stuff, where do 1
come in?
