COTTON LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

A law passed by the last Legislature
requiring the reweighing of baled cot
ton before its removal from local
yards is declared unconstitutional iu
an opinion handed down in the SUI
preme court Tuesday morning by JUS

cotton should be reweighed In local
yards, where 1t is listed for sale, in
the presence of the seller and pur-
chaser. and that weight be stamped on
the bale and accepted as final should
be binding in the future handling OF
the cotton. The act primarily was de-
signed to protect the producer against
loss by shrinkage.
Judge Turner holds that the law is
"a legislative attempt to make CON
elusive. between parties to sale, the
