Railroad {Charlotte & South
Carolina RR and Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio RR} |
| 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 freight at Charlotte, Columbia and Junction,
and remove them upon delivery, especially when connecting roads cannot
receive them, otherwise they will lose 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. |
