When the rate per 100 pounds is $2.00 or more, charge
pound rates for 50 pounds or over; but the charge on a
package less than 50 pounds in weight must not be greater
than the charge for 50 pounds. If less than $2:00 per 100
pounds, graduated charge must be made; but the charge
for shipment at a rate of less than $2.00 per 100 pounds
shall not be more than the charge on the same shipment
when the rate is $2.00 or more per 100 pounds.

When the rate exceeds $20.00 per 100 pounds, charge
pound rates, but never less than the $20.00 graduated charge
for same weight.

SOUTHERN CLASSIFICATION No. 34.

SUBJECT TO S. C. COMMISSION EXCEPTION SHEET WITH RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ALL INTERSTATE SHIPMENTS.

GENERAL RULES.

THE SOUTHERN CLASSIFICATION WILL APPLY ON ALL ROADS IN SOUTH CAROLINA, SUBJECT TO THE CLASSIFICATION AND RULES AS

PROVIDED IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA EXCEPTION SHEET.

NOTE. The following is the Southern classification in effect at the time of this publication, and is subject to such changes as may be approved by the Commis

sioners.

1. The reduced rates specified in this classification will apply only on property shipped subject to the conditions of the standard Bill of Lading.

If the shipper elects not to accept the said reduced rates and conditions, he should notify the agent of the receiving carrier, in writing, at the time his property is offered for shipment, and if he does not give such notice it will be understood that he desires the property carried subject to the Standard Bill of Lading conditions in order to secure the reduced rate thereon. Property carried not subject to the conditions of the Standard Bill of Lading will be at the carrier's liability, limited only as provided by common law and hy the laws of the United States and of the several States, in so far as they apply. Property thus carried will be charged twenty (20) per cent. higher (subject to a minimum increase of one (1) cent per hundred pounds) than if shipped subject to the conditions of the Standard Bill of Lading.

2. This classification is subject to change without other notice than required by law.

3. Local rates will be charged on all shipments not covered by through bills of lading.

4. (a) Contents of all packages, as near as practicable, must be stated in shipping receipt. When an article is differently classified, when differently prepared or packed, the actual character of the article must be specified, otherwise it will be charged at the highest class named on each article. No shipment will be accepted when designated on the shipping receipt as Merchandise (or "Mdse."), Sundries, or Fancy Goods.

(b) Each package, bundle or piece of less than carload freight must be plainly marked with the information necessary to carry it to bill of lading destination and insure proper delivery, even if separated from the waybill.

The marks on the packages, bundles or pieces, should be compared with the shipping order and bill of lading, and correction, if necessary, made by the shipper or his representative. Old marks must be removed or effaced.

Whenever there are two stations of the same name in the same State, it shall be the duty of the shipper to designate on each package the county, and the carrier will not be responsible for incorrect delivery due to failure or neglect of the shipper in this respect.

When freight is destined to a place not located on the line of a railroad, the shipper must mark on each package the name of the railroad station at which the consignee will accept delivery; or if destined to a place reached by a water line only, the shipper must mark on each package the name of the railroad station at which delivery is to be made to such water line.

(c) Property presented to carriers, packed in so-called boxes or cases made from strawboard, leather board, wood pulp, fiber, wired splint wood, or other analogous materials, inclosed in wooden frames, will be charged ten (10) per cent. higher than the classification provided for such property in boxes or cases, subject to a minimum increase of one (1) cent per hundred pounds; provided, however, that

when a rating is shown on an article in bales, the same rating will apply on such article, when packed in boxes or cases as above described. (See note.)

NOTE. In computing the rate to be charged under this rule, fractions of onehalf cent or less shall be dropped, and those of more than one-half cent shall be considered as one cent; for example: If the class rate applicable upon the property in boxes or cases is 75 cents per 100 lbs., the rate to be charged v hen shipped in the packages described will be 82 cents per 100 lbs., the fraction of onehalf cent being dropped; if the class rate is 36 cents per 100 lbs., the higher rate to be charged will be 40 cents per 100 lbs.; if the class rate is 8 cents per 100 lbs., the increase would be eight-tenths of one cent, and the minimum increase being one cent per 100 lbs., the higher rate to be charged will be 9 cents per 100 lbs.

5. (a) Agents at points of shipment will take care to assure themselves that contents of packages are actually what they purport to be; if they have reason to suspect that an attempt is being made to deceive the carrier, or avoid proper classification, they will require an examination of contents, or other sufficient evidence that they are correctly described, before or after receipting for same. Should freight be incorrectly described, and escape detection at shipping point, if the real character of the goods is discovered before delivery to consignee or to connecting road, charges will be collected according to proper classification. In case of loss or damage, owner will be paid for articles as called for by receipt or bill of lading given at the time of shipment.

(b) Prepayment of freight charges must not be accepted at the receiving station upon any shipment unless the Agent is satisfied that the article upon which the prepayment is tendered is correctly described in the shipping receipt.

Extract from Section 10 of the Act to Regulate Commerce :

Any person and any officer or agent of any corporation or company, who shall deliver property for transportation to any common carrier, subject to the provisions of this Act, or for whom, as consignor or consignee, any such carrier shall transport property, who shall knowingly and wilfully, by false billing, false classification, false weighing, false representation of the contents of the package, or false report of weight, or by any other device or means, whether with or without the consent or connivance of the carrier, its agent or agents, obtain transportation for such property at less than the regular rates then established and in force on the line of transportation, shall be deemed guilty of fraud, which is hereby declared to be a misdemeanor, and shall, upon conviction thereof in any court of the United States of competent jurisdiction within the district in which such offense was committed, be subject for each offense to a fine of not exceeding five thousand dollars, or imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of not exceeding two years, or both, in the discretion of the court.

6. Where the classification provides for reduced rate, based on a certain fixed valuation, the following special release, containing the agreed valuation, must be written and signed by the shipper or owner upon the face of the bill of lading or shipping receipt:

[ocr errors]

"It is hereby agreed that the property herein designated is of the value of..... and the rate of freight charged thereon is based on such agreed valuation, and on the condition that the carrier assumes liability only to the extent of such agreed valuation and no further."

7. Unless otherwise specified in published tariffs, the minimum charge on a single shipment of one class, classified first class or lower, shall be for 100 lbs., at the class or commodity rate to which it belongs; but if classified higher than first class, the minimum charge shall be for 100 lbs. at the first class rate.

If the shipment contains articles in two or more classes, no one of which is classified higher than first class, the minimum charge shall be for 100 lbs. of the article taking the highest rate; but if any one of the articles is classified higher than first class, the minimum charge shall be for 100 lbs. at the first class rate.

In no case shall the charge on a single shipment be less than 25 cents.

8. No charges shall be advanced on shipments offered for transportation except the following. which must be identified by established tariffs or proper receipts, evidencing their correctness and legitimacy:

Proportions of connecting lines offering through shipments, and to be paid to such connecting lines only.

Bridge tolls.

Actual transfers.

Icing charges on meats, fruits or other perishable property.
Feed charges on live stock.

9. On shipments consisting of more than one consignment, whether from one shipper to two or more consignees, or from two or more shippers to one consignee, charge for each consignment as a separate shipment.

10. The rate for the highest classed article must be charged on any package containing articles of more than one class. This rule is not intended to prohibit the shipping of printed advertising matter in package goods; provided that the printed advertising matter does not exceed two per cent. of the total weight.

11. (a) Any shipment which, in the judgment of the forwarding agent, would not bring at forced sale the amount of the freight charges at destination, must be prepaid, or charges guaranteed.

(b) Articles on which prepayment is required may, on the approval of the General Freight Department of the road on which the freight originates, be forwarded on the guarantee of the shipper that freight and charges will be paid at destination. Full explanation to be made on waybills or manifests and transfer slips.

(c) When charges are not paid at destination on freight forwarded under guarantee, as provided in sections a and b of this rule, each road shall look to its immmediate connection for reimbursement, the initial company being finally liable for guarantee.

Request for protection of guarantee must be made within six months from date of shipment, otherwise initial carriers will be relieved from liability under

same.

12. When parts or pieces constituting one or more complete articles are offered to carriers for transportation at one time, by one shipper, to one consignee and destination, they will be rated at the classification provided for the complete article, whether S. U. or K. D., as specified in the classification.

13. When articles not specifically provided for, nor embraced in the classification as articles "not otherwise specified," are offered for transportation, agents at points of shipment may use the classification applying on articles which, in their judgment, are analogous; but in such cases agents must report the facts to their superior officer of the freight department in order that, if necessary, the proper classification may be regularly established.

14. All articles will be charged at GROSS WEIGHT, without regard to weight given by shippers and inserted in bills of lading: except that when an article is classified to be accepted at an estimated weight, such estimated weight will apply. When the actual weights of the articles named below cannot be ascertained at point of shipment, or at destination, or in transit, the following estimated weights shall govern:
