Torrance Of duty. Any person In
jured by short weights can recover
upon the bond Of che weigher and
his sureties The fees for weighing
are as follows: Each bale of cot
ton weighed, not to exceed ten
cents. When a cotton yard is run

bale or sack Of wool, hogshead Of
sugar, ton Of hay, or for each wagon
load Of pecahes or grain, not to ex-
coed five CENTS. These are the
salient features of the new law.
The people in any justice precinct
can have public weigher, If they
desire, and this shuts out private
weighers in the precinct while the
Office is in force. The office, after
having been established, may be
abolished by vote at the next gen.
eral election.

PUBLIC wEIGHERs.

We clip the following from the
Cameron Herald, edited by Hon.
o. +. McAnally, a member Of the
last legislature. Brazos and Milan
counties are affected'by the law in
the same way;
The law passed at the late session
Of the legislature relative 10 public
weighers Is amendatory of the old
law. In every city which receives
annually one hundred thousand
bales Of cotton on sale or for ship
ment, the governor is required to
appoint five public weighers.
This provision Of the law does
not effect Milan county. In coun-
ties like this, the commissioners
court, when presented with a petit
ton signed by a majority Of the
qualified voters Of any justice pre-
cinct in their county praying Tor
the appointment or election ofpub-
lie weighers for said precinct, shall
or order 10 be elected at
the next general election one or
more suitable persons for public
weighers for such precinct, the
court determining the number Of
weighers needed. A majority Of
the qualified voters will be deter
mined by the vote for governor at
the last general election. The
weighers are elected as other pre-
cinct officers and they must be
qualified voters in the precinct OF
city in which they are to serve.
The tenure Of Office is two years.
No person interested in the sale or
purchase of cotton, grain, or other
produce is eligible to the Office of
public weigher. The commission
eis' court may unite two or more
Justice precincts for the purpose Of
electing public woighers, and Ithe
provision is made for abolishing
the Office of public weigher by an
election. The bond Of weighers
by the governor is fixed
at $4,000, and the bond Of a weigh
or for a justic precinct is placed at
81, 500. The bond must be APP
proved by the commissioners court,
must be conditioned for the faithful
and impartial performance Of duty,
and is made payable TO the county
Judge. Public weighers are re-
quired to take the oath of office, as
as other precinct officers.
When twenty bona fide citizens
Of any town, railroad station, or
other place in his precinct, make
application to the weigher to ap.
point a deputy for such town, rail.
way station or other place, the re-
lnest must be'granted. These dep.
uty weighers are required to take
the same oath under which their
principals act, and their principals
may require ofthem q solvent bond
in the sum of 1900, to be approx.
cd by their principals, conditioned
upon the honest and faithful per-
