| Owing to the great risk of
fire and the difficulty of disposing of freights at the termini of these
Roads, the following orders will be strictly observed: |
| Shippers are forbidden from
putting cotton and forage in the depots, or any platform of this Company
without the consent of the agent, otherwise, they will be held
responsible for all damages to the Company. |
| Shippers must agree to
promptly receive their freights at Charlotte, Columbia and Junction, and
remove them upon delivery, especially when connecting roads cannot
receive them, otherwise they will loose priority of transportation. |
| This Company will not be
responsible for any cotton or forage before loaded, or after it is
discharged from its cars, or for any goods after twenty-four hours from
their delivery in its depots. |
| Agents will receipt for no
goods until they are ready for shipment of the same. |
| The general bad order of
freights, the hazard of fire and the responsibility of this Company
demand that agents strictly enforce these rules. |
