REVERSAL Of.
VERD|CTS
DENIED
Apologies Also to Porcine Family
for Likening Woodward's Legal
knowledge to Theirs.

Recorder Nash Broyles penned
polite note of ap,.ogy to the Whole
hog family Friday
With the same hand he picked up
the cudgles with which again to BE-
labor his honor, Mayor WoodwarI.
The Mayor, quoth the Recorder,
was the author of a ridiculous aud
absurd falsehood and 1t was a re-
gretable libel upon Mr.. Hog to have
to submit to a comparison with At
lanta's Mayor.
AS for the Mayor, he declared he
was tired Of wasting verbiage on the
Recorder and that ne would have
nothing more TO say in their quarrel.
He intimated. however. that he had 1t
in his mind to override the Recorder
again by pardoning another prisoner
Here are Recorder Broyles' colu-
ments on the Mayor:
Apologies to Porcine Family.
Il care nothing for the Mayors
abuse. Condemnation from such
character should be considered praise.
But when he says that he Court Of
Appeals on May %, 1918, reversed ME
in ten cases and sustained me in SOW
en-, he tells such a ridiculous and alb
surd falsehood that I now apologize
to the hog to which I referred yes
terday when l said the Mayor knew
less about law than hog does about
political economy.
The idea of the Court of Appeals
passing one day upon seventeen cases
appealed from the Recorders Court
of Atlanta!
The records of that court will
show that on an average there are
not seventeen cases a year carried to
the Court of Appeals, and they will
also snow that that court has sus-
tanned me in ten cases where it has
reversed me in one.
Sees Attempt to Evade Issue.
But the Mayor is, as usual, trying
TO sidetrack the issue between US
That issue is not my ability as
lawyer or a Judge. I am content TO
let my record speak Tor me, but the
issue is that the Mayor is protect.
ing and pardoning the habitual anG
confirmed criminals of our city; is
obstructing and defeating justice in
our courts and impeding the officers
of the law in their attempt to check
crime in our city.
And this is the issue on which the
people at the next election win call
him to account"
Mayor Woodward retorted that he
had concluded his comments on Re-
corder Broyles but that he practically
had decided again to overrule the Re
corder and issue another pardon.
Plans to Give New Pardon.
The situation is possible only be-
cause Judge Broyles made a mis-
take and imposed a sentence of 80
instead of 2s days, which puts the
case in the jurisdiction of the Mayor
G. Poulus, who runs a restaurant
on Alabama street, was fined 800 and
sentenced to 80 days in the stockade
The story that has reached Mayor
Woodward is that Poulus discharged
a negro boy and that the negro boy.
being angry. reported Poulus to the
police as selling beer. Poulos says
he only orders beer from adjoining
saloons and keeps it in his ice box for
his customers.

Don't Carry Chicken by the
Legs, Head Down.

We noticed a man going along
one of Mexico s streets the other
day carrying a chicken by the
legs, head hanging down. We
tried to imagine how much kick
ing that fellow would do if some
body should catch him by the
legs and attempt to carry him,
head down. Don t abuse even
your chickens if you profess to be
christian. BY the way, there
is an interesting article on anoth-
er page of the Message regarding
this very subject of carrying
chickens 1t is headed, "Uninten-
tial Cruelties to Poultry" " Read
the article, brother, read it.
