to San Francisco in 1915.
The dividend. the first and last

was for eight per cent on the stock
approXimating $3,500,000. Checks
covering the dividend viii be sent
to stockholders August J.
The exposition company also
gave the city Of San francisco
the huge exposition auditorium
here and its organ. The last dem
ocratic national convention was
held in the auditorium.
Another gift to the city result
ing from the exposition, is an area
of four blocks along the Marina, a
bay front stretch Of the exposition
grounds not far inside the Golden
Gate. 1t came from stockholders
who decline to accept their divl-
dend and put the money into the
property to give to the city. 1t is
probable the tract will be convert
ed into marine park and boule-

RATES ON

Reduction on Short HouIs

By e. e. Commission

Columbia, July 19-The rail-

formed by the South Carolina Rail
road Commission that the recent
ly proposed revised schedule Of
freight rates on cotton was not
acceptable. A hearing is to be
called by the commission at an
early date. but as yet no date Tor
this has been set.
The railroads proposed a read
justment of cotton rates. lower on
short hauls. but higher on hauis
of more than 130 miles. The rail
road commission has received pro-
tests from cotton men. and one
railroad that had published the
revised tariff has withdrawn 1t.

from Greenwood to Anderson and
Grenville to Spartanburg.
The rates it was found. was a
reduction on short hauls. but this
was of no benefit to the cotton
planter or buyer. because OF the
fact that motor trucks are used
so generally now for the very short
hauls. For the longer hauls the
new rate proposed was an ac-
vance, so that the railroad COM
mission took the position that to
allow the new rates would work a
hardship rather than a benefit on
the cotton interests. No official
order has been issued by the COM

a bomb which failed to hit the
