WYATT, J.
"Ordinarily the plaintiff, in his petition, need not anticipate or negative a possible defense. Where, however, such defense is anticipated, it must be effectually avoided, or the complaint is bad." James v. Maddox, 153 Ga. 208 (3) (111 S. E. 731). See also Smith v. Scarborough, 182 Ga. 157 (185 S. E. 105), and Swofford v. Glaze,
