Thursday afternoon spelled about different kinds of fruit In yells that could be heard for three and four blocks, he In said to have attracted the attention of the whole community and awoke Policeman Swords, who resides near Washington and Fulton streets. The officer promptly ran out to the wagon and told the negro he must not yell so loudly. “Well, I guess I can. I pay a license to yell," replied the negro. "The city doesn't Issue any license for anybody to yell, and you'll have to subside or I’ll lock you up,” responded Swords. "Well. I’d like to see you try It," again spoke the negro. He was accom modated. In police court Friday morning both Officer Swords and Officer Payne stated they had received much complaint about the yelling of fruit venders In the streets. Recorder Broyles said he would lmposo no fine this time, but warned Marlon he must put on the soft pedal hereafter. HAS JEDGE BHILES Woman Insists That Record er Is Victim of Hoo doo Artist.

Has Recorder Nash Broyles been con jured? According to Fannie Scott, a young negro women, the popular recorder Is under a spell, cast over him by Clyde Yancey, another negro woman, and consequently does the bidding of the Yancey Woman. This hoodoo story came out In the police court Friday morning during the trial of the Scott woman. Clyde Yancey was the principal witness against the Scott woman, and the lat ter was fined 215.75 for disorderly con duct. A few days ago, Sarah Scott, a sis ter of Fannie, was arraigned In court and was given 60 days In the stockade, Clyde Yancey was the principal wit ness. "That Yancey has got Judge Broylee conjured,” neserts Fannie Scott. "8he has been boasting of It and says she Is going to put my whole family In the etockade—that Judge Broyles Just can't help putting us there. She has got two of us there now and I guess the rest will follow soon. She has got the Judge conjured and he Just has to do whatever she wants him to do. Ho had sura better go and see a doctor or somebody and try to get that spell off him.” The Yancey woman merely smiled a significant smile when sho heard of Fanle Scott's unique charge. Judge Broyles is positive In his de nial that he has been conjured. “If I have been conjured, I don’t know It," said the recorder In feigned seriousness. “I haven't felt any pe culiar sensations so far, unless my feel ings over the G«irgla-Tech football situation can be ascribed to the action of the conjur bag. I haven't been play ing golf during the past few days, either, but I don't think this Is due to Rny particular spell, further than the present wet spell." Whether Judge Broyles has really been conjured will be proven when Clyde Yancey has the remaining mem bers of Fannie Scott’s family sent to the etockade. The charge that the recorder Is un der a peculiar spell revives memories of the wonderful story some time ago of a Mrs. Marks, who declared she had hypnotised Judge Broyles nnd forced PLAN OF GEORGIAN’S POPULAR VOTING CONTEST JAP-A-LAC All colors—all sixes.
