Col toff Glnners:
There are a number of cotton gln
ners In the State who have not yet ap
plied far Hecnse to operate a cotton

tion is called to the fact that the last
season of the legislature passed a law
requiring that all glnners make ap

sioner of Agrculture ana that such
glnners collect for the next two years
a tax of tweny-flve cents per bale on
all cotton ginned, remitting this tax
mommy to tne uepartment of Reve
nue.
The law Imposes a line of five dol
lars per day on all ginners who oper
ate without securing State license.
Therefore, it la directed that ginners
who have not yet secured their license
to operate write the Commissioner of
plication for license, which should be
filled out and forwarded Immediately.
As a matter of information I desire
to state that the tax referred to con.
stitutes a fund which guarantees the
integrity of the warehouse receipts is
