walking for years, and Saturday morn
ing at an early hour his body was

FOR 4 BETTER
BILL Of LAD|NG
BODIES OF WEST
ERN CITIES WILL MEET IN
SEATTLE WITH INTENTION OF
BETTERING CREDIT OF THE
BILL OF LADING.
BY Associates Press

New York, July 1S.-Wnen the com
miSsiOners on uniform laws meet at
Seattle, Wash, August 20, they will
be waited upon by committees repre-
sentiDg the great commercial bodies
of this and other cities and urged to
draft a bill o. lading to put an end
to what the shippers term the gross
frauds which they declared have
been made bills of Ia,1ing an unsafe
instrument of credit
The decision to have committees
appear before the commissioners it
was said was reached today as a result
of the interstate commerce commits
sion that it had not sufficient author
ity to order the railroads to revise
their methods of issuing bills of lad
ing to meet the objections which the
commercial bodies have raised
against the instruments in their
present form. 1t is by the present
plan to have the new bill which is
expected to be drafted by the COM
missioners of uniform laws introdUC-
ed at the next session OF congress.
The commercial interests have been
trying for the past three years to
compel the carriers to issue two sep
arate bills of lading forms in order
to differentiate between the ordinary
receipt and the more Important or
der bill which is used as a basis
of credit in the transportation of the
country's crops, particularly the cot
ton and grain crops of the south and
west and manufactured PRODUCTS
The shippers have demanded also
that the railroads compel the sur
render o. the instrument upon deliv-
cry of the property to the consignee,
several extensive Swindles having
been perpetTated against lenders by
bills of lading that were not so sur
rendered.

IMPROVEMENT
IS NOW NOTED
LUMBER AND TIMBER MARKETS
SHOW MUCH BETTER DEMAND
AND PRICES ARE RAPIDLY AD-
VANcING.
Special to The Journal.

Mobile, Ala, July 1S.-The lumber
trade outlook in Alabama and Missis-
Sippi has shown marked improve
ment during the past two weeks, and
is now assuming a very encouraging
phase, according to Vice President
Thomas P Hale of the Gulf and Ship
Island road, the principal lumber-car-
Tying line in Mississippi.
Mr.. Hale states that the average ad-
vance on a majority of the grades of
lumber has been s. per thousand, and
this has induced a goodly number of
mills TO resume operations, many OF
which had been closed down since last
November
The principal demand is for bridge
and railway 1imbeTs,' says Mr.. Hale.
with a very fair demand for many of
the common grades Within the past
two weeks Edward Hines has placed

Late Delivery in
Washington County

Several complaints have been re-
ceivej by The journal, that the paper
reaches many of its subscribers in
Washington county a day late. This is
due to a change in the rural deliv-
cry from Chipley. Formerly the car
riers left Chipley to deliver in their
districts after the arrival o. the morn
ing train east, or about Il O'Clock.
Under the new arrangement they
leave on their routes at about eight
O'Clock. The result is that the paper
and all other mail matter-is de
livered on the following day. and
Saturdays mail must wait until the
following Monday. The Journal has
taken measures TO have this defect
remedied. and hopes soon to be able
to report that the old arrangement
has been resumed.
