like nearly all large corporations,
has certain rules aud regulations
which it requires its patrons to
comply with, and several changes
will be iuaugurated at the local
press, the most Important being
the manner in which cotton is
delivered 10 the railroads. Here
tOfore, it seems, the railroads
have been in the habit of receiv-
ing the compress receipts from
the buyers, issuing bills of la
ding and ordering the cotton
shipped by telephone, never TAX
ing the trouble to surrender the
receipts To the press. Under the
new regime, however, this plan
will be discontinued ard no cot
ton will be delivered t he rail
roads until the receipt ereior
have been surrendered.
