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.

EXPLAINS FACTS
Says Mr. Harley Came Here By
Invitation Mid Had An Ap
pointment With Mr. King
Editor Thc Intelligencer: .
On returning to the.clty today, I was
very much surprised at the spirit of
an article wrltteai-by Mr. King, surcr
yispr .of Anderson .county concerning
thc dispensary issue. In this article
Mr. King is apparently bitter and I be
lieve unjust,.to, Rev. \. L?. Harley. I
note thc following expressions;
"I refused to allow a mai. by the
name of Harley who ola'1.ns to rep
resent the anti-saloon lor.gue;"
also,
"Tho other gentlemen who ap
peared were courteous and reas
onable and .1 have no objections
to make regarding their conduct."
I I have no desire tb criticise Mr.
I King, but do think thc public Bhould
be acquainted with tho. ivir.

member of tho South Carolina ,confer
ence.., Ho has been unanimously eitsc
I ted foy tho seventh year by. the State
oxjjc?tiy.c committee, of. Son th Carolina

The State of South Carolina, is his
territory .and his. rca pon ni hi li ty. Mr.
Harley does not go Into a enanty as a
meddler. . Ho received letters, from
citizens-ot Anderson county and from
some ot. tho ministers requesting-hitn
