END OF LONG FIGHT IS ALHJN SIGHT NEVV FREIGHT RATES SOON TO BE IN EFFECT JULY 20tH IS DATE * . ? 1 " Anderson To Enjoy Better Retes Than She Ever Had Before, Saving $<60,000 Per Year It waa announced last evening by the Transput tatton Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. W. W. Sulli van, chairman, that the new Interstate freight rates, to Anderson, about which Um Atlanta conference of the Piedmont cities and ral'road ofllcials of the Southeast wns held, would go into effect, on July 20th, .thus par tially ending thc long fight for thc equalization of freight rates of this city. Greenville and Greenwood. The new rates are the best this city has ever had and placo Anderson on a better freight equalization basis than at any time in her history. In fact, vhe reductions are largo and important and will amount in thc aggregate to a gross saving to Anderson merchants of upwards of $60,000 per annum, and perhaps moro. It is stated that Mr. Sullivan, who has represented Anderson through thc local trafile bureau of the cham ber of commerce, ls well saltshed with the reductions, and .thc new* basic rates, but is still contending for cer tain other reductions, and he alBo was successful in getting tho Atlanta con ference % to agree to giye Anderson any benefits which Spartanburg might secure, based on the. prosent , contest bled before the Interstate commerce commission by Spartanburg, contend ing for thc Charlotte rates at least, and probably lower, because of shorter mileage, from tho Ohio River points and points based thereon. The trafile department deserves great credit for this, successful light, and Anderson on and after July,30th will e bc able to compete so far as freight rates are concerned with any othor city in this section of thc Car olinas. In fact, Anderson le on a splendid rate basis now-or rather will bo on and'after July 20th, when the new rates go into effect. There should bo an immediate-stimulus in Ander son's jobbing busincs:', though lt in wisely pointed out by the traffic bureau ot the chamber ot commerce, that the chief beneficiaries after all will bc the farmer and the consumer. ??. iW BE INCOMING RACE Report Has H That He Has Deter mined To Accept Treasurer's Office- WH1 Ask Election While Dr. W.
