DECIDE TO FIGHT BoYkIN BILL
Ware s. Leland VIII Not Retire From
Business.

Ware & Leland, who have cotton
exchange in AmerIcus among twenty
three others established in Georgia,
WILL not retire from business after Jan
uary 1st, but will fight the Boykin bill
in the courts upon the ground that it
is unconstitutional. When the state
takes steps to close the offices an in
junction will be secured preventing it,
and the legal fight on the Boykin bill
will be on in earnest. The firms At
Ianta attorneys have advised that the
Boykin ''anti-bucket shop bill'' is un-
constitutional. It is defective In three
particulars and will be attacked on all
of them, if need be. The firm is now
paying from $4,000 to $4,000 year
taxes to do business in Georgia. If
they continue business in defiance of
the Boykin bill, which they propose to
do, they can convert that sum into an
other channel and employ lawyers with
it to fight the bill that proposes to put
the firm out of business,
