LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
More About bills of Lnding

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Your editorial in this mornings pa
per headed Cotton Bills of Lading,"
| is likely to produce an unwarranted
and unfair impression upon the cit
liens of the state of Alabama in re-
spect to the action of railroad COM
panies regarding bills of lading for
cotton shipped over their several lines.
In that editorial you say: "They."
meaning the railroads, refuse to ac-
knowledge responsibility for the acts
of their own agents. Hence the pres
ent muddle over the financing of cot
ton" The railroad companies do NOT
refuse to acknowledge responsibility
for the acts of their own agents ana
nothing of this sort Is the cause of
the present muddle over the financing
of cotton. The present muddle over the
financing of cotton is brought about
by the alleged fact that bills of lad
ing on the railroad companies have
been forged by persons who were not
connected with the railroad companies
and issued as genuine bills, of lading.
Ii there had been no question raised as
to the forging of bills of lading is
sued for cotton there would have been
no trouble or muddle over the financing
of cotton.
The railroad companies, under the
law, cannot refuse responsibility for
the acts of their own agents in re-
spect to the issuance of bills of lading
| in the state of Alabama. Section 6132
of the code of Alabama for 1907 is as
| follows:
Receipt or bill of lading; when not
| to be given: A warehouseman, common
| carrier, or a wharfinger, or other per-
son engaged in the business of stor-
| age carriage or of keeping for ship
ment, or of forwarding things or prop
| erty, must not give a receipt or bill
of ladng for the things or property
| for storage, for carriage, or for keep
| ing for shipment, or for forwarding,
unless such things or property have
been actually delivered to him, or
placed under his control; and sec
ond receipt or bill of lading must
not be issued or given, the original
being outstanding, without writing
across the face thereof the word Dupli-
cate"
Section 61S6 of the code of 1907 is
as follows:

brought to Birmingham by the firm.
One, an entire gown of black net, was
gorgeous with its indescribable en-
broideries done entirely by hand and
imported from the Orient. Another, a
white net, was bordered with gold
cloth and embroidered with gold and
irridescents. These are the two hand
soonest gowns ever imported by Love-
man, Joseph & Loeb.
The hats are more beautiful than
ever. They include many importations
and still others from the firms own
work rooms. A pansy hat was espe-
cially unique and pretty. The brim
suggests the petals of the flower and
surrounding the crown is plume, the
counterpart of another rising at the
side and showing a combination of
pink and grey. Another Is a great
flaring velvet hat made with double
brim out of which peeps a cluster of
pink rosebuds Pink willow plumes
make the trimming. A huge black hat
is literally smothered in kings blue
plumes, and shows just a knot of gold
lace. There Is a huge pastel hat gar
injured with pastel plumes and a gor-
geous black beaver of the Charlotte
Corday type. These are among the
superb array which makes up the mag
nificent display.
