By order dated November 2, 1993 (HCAR No. 25917), Southern was

Southern proposes to issue and distribute to the holders of record of
the then outstanding shares of common stock up to one additional share
of such stock for each share held at such time. The proposed stock
split would be effected pursuant to authorization by the Board of
Directors of Southern at such time as the Board considers the same to
be desirable and in the best interests of Southern and its
stockholders. The par value of the shares of common stock, $5.00 per
share, will not be affected by the proposed stock split.
For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
pursuant to delegated authority.
