The Alabama Great Southern Railroad Company vs. Cureton & Pearce.
    A letter from the agent of a railroad to certain shippers contained the following statement of rates : “ The rate on iron from Rising Fawn to Chattanooga shall be six dollars to Chattanooga, and five dollars to any point on or beyond the Nashville,’ Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad per car load of 2,268 pounds : ”
    
      'Held, that the reasonable construction of this contract was that the rate should be six dollars per car load when shipped from Rising Fawn only to Chattanooga, and five dollars when shipped to any point beyond Chattanooga. The low rate did not apply to iron shipped at Chattanooga.
    
      (a.) The verdict is contrary to the charge of the court.
    Crawford, Justice.
