Atlanta, Georgia 30303, a registered holding company, has filed a post-
effective amendment under sections 6(a) and 7 of the Act and rules 53

under the Act.
    By orders dated August 3, 1995 and December 22, 1999 (HCAR Nos. 
26349 and 27119), Southern was authorized, among other things, to issue 
and sell in one or more transactions, through September 30, 2004 
(``Authorization Period''), up to 25 million shares of its authorized 
but unissued common stock, $5 par value (``Authorized Shares''). The 
number of Authorized Shares may be adjusted to reflect any share split 
or distribution authorized by the Commission. Southern now requests 
that the number of Authorized Shares that may be issued during the 
Authorization Period be increased from 25 million to 35 million.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management, 
under delegated authority.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
