South Carolina Items.

The railroad commissions decision
made public last week practically dis
misses the petition of the various COM
mercial bodies of the State for the re-
duction in inter-Statee rates on the
ground that these rates are excessive
and oppressive and above what they
are in North Carolina and Virginia,
and therefore give Virginian cities un-
due advantage in this territory over
Charleston and other South Carolina
distributing points. The decision is
great surprise to those who have been
working for a reduction in the rates
now for over a year, as they had oeen
confidently expecting a victory. In
the standard cotton tariff a straight
rate of 35 cents is made for over ten
miles, in the fertilizer tariff the rate
is made straight s2,75 instead Of rate
ranging between s2,75 and s3,O5 and in
the rate Of -four in barrels there IS
paraller reduction Of two cents on each
haul period Of ten miles.
