SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES

To be Made in the Workings of the
Southern Express Company.
Mr.. q. B. Plant is now at Tampa, Fla,
with party Of friends, having left day
or two ago on pleasure trip. Before re-
turning the party will make short trip to
Nassau and other points.
Mr.. Plant, as president of the Southern
Express Company, has in contemplation
several changes in the company's service
designed to better it and when carried into
effect they will increase its facilities to a
great extent. In fact these changes have
been authorized by the board of directors
and they will 90 into effect as early as prac-
ticable.
In the first place a special express service
is to be put on the fast schedule vesttoule
trains which are now running on all the
through lines in the south, thus atfording
to patrons Of the company facilities IN this
line hitherto unknown. This service will
bs extremely valuable especially in the
transmission OF money or important papers,
as it will be quicker and surer than the
United States mail service, with ali of its
red tape appendages. This service, it will
be seen, will ply between all the more i'm
portant business centers as they are gener-
ally on the line Of some fast schedule.
Outside Of this plan on the part OF the
company to promote and enlarge its public
service, it has under consideration another
for the benefit OF its employees, by which it
proposes, in some instances. to make them
shareholders in the corporation. This move
ment is also designed to advance the COM
pany's service and to make it more perfect.
IL is an accepted proposition that employees
who have personal interest an the husI-
ness outside of mere wages are far
more faithful and efficient in their services
This is probably the basis of the resolution
introduced by Mr.. Plant and adopted at a
recent meeting of the directors, by which
the employees were to be made shareholders.
The employers and the employees will thus
be brought into closer relationship, and a
practical test will be made by the cooper
alive theory. OF course good results are
expected, and il will no doubt be the means
of further perfecting the company's service.

fully during the past W eek. has consented to
take charge OF this part of the programme
OF the anniversary, and that it will be some
thing attractive goes without saying. Be-

voices which has been under DIR. Palmer's
training will participate, and a number Of
selections will be rendered by the chorus

After the services the regular annual
meeting of the society will be held for the
purpose Of electing officers for the ensuing

a letter from the bureau of statistics of the

quested to require exporters of cotton to
conform in their manifests Of domestic cot

ton according to the price Of the same
grade Of cotton as quoted in the MORNING
NEWS of the date of clearance. and in case
the grade is not known, according TO the
quoted price of middling cotton on that
date.
Collector johnson is requested to have all
manifests of cotton offered for export care
fully scrutinized as to prices by the above
standard. In his letter the chief of the
bureau states that as the expectation of do
nestle cotton forms such an important part
Of our statistics, and as the publications of
these exports are watched with such great
care by the press aud Others, it is the desire
of the department TO harmonize, as far as
practicable the prices reported with the
current quotations of the commercial press.

matter should be strictly observed by all
shippers of cotton, whether by ooastwise or
foreign ships
