trucks have been received from all
parts Of the Valley at the head
quarters Of the Valley Gin mpan
here. according 70 n. r. Boyd. vice
president.
Mr.. Boyd said that many persons
have complimented the concern on
the stand il has taken Of refusing
TO sell to anyone who moves cotton
BY truck. He also said there was
every indication Of a more general
backing Of this stand. resulting IN
greater use of the railroads in NOV
ing cotton out of the Valley.
II feel sure that ms the peonle Of
the Valley come to realize clearly
what they are doing in shipping
cotton by truck. that they will cease
the practice. and 70 back to the
railroads." Mr.. Boyd said. ct is a
case where they cannot lose, be-
cause the rail rates are the same
as truck charges. and when - rail
road is p~atronized, the V~lley is
benefited. whereas the same seldom
applies in the case of the trucks"
The Valley Gin company through
Mr.. Boyd was the first large con-
Germ in the Valley interested in the

on the matter and IL.
