Monday. The time for the application of
the other rates has not been announced.
The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad has also submitted to the commits
sion new rates on cotton and fertilizers, and
they were approved by the commission and
went into effect on the 21st inst. No 9TH
er classes of freights are yet touched by the
management under the new law. There is
very little change in the cotton rates agreed
upon. The fertilizer rates are advanced
overthe commissions former rates, but are
lower than the rates in force before the COM
mission. Of course, in examining and ap-
proving these new rates, the commission
have seen that no discrimination is made
and that the rates are based on distance as
the law requires. The rates for passenger
travel on the G. c., & A. will hereafter
be 3 and 81 cents per mile, the cent rate
being for second class travel.
