THE TOBACCO CROP OF VIRGINIA

trOIh inc OallNlle ' a. Register
The tobacco crop has been cut and
housed, and much Of it is already cured.
1t has been all along predicted that the
yield of this year would I've inferior in quality
and short in quantity, and now that it has
been gathered in, the result only too palpa-
bly, verities the prediction. In the outset a
full crop could not be pitched for want of
plants; the fields suffered severely from
drought later in the season; and now, at
the critical period, that great terror of the
planter and fatal enemy of the weed, the
frost, has done its part toward the general
misfoItunes.
Some of the fields in the low grounds
were badly damaged by the frost some two
weeks ago, but greater loss than this was
sustained because of the cold snap, at that
time alarming many farmers, who, taking
counsel of their fears, cut their tobacco
green. As well as we can gather, great
deal Of the crop has been thus cut before it
vas ripe, and of course the result will be a
large proportion of dark and green leaf in
market next year, with a comparatively
small quantity of good working qualities
and bright yellow. Some farmers who were
very fortunate in pitching their crops early
have made and cured fine tobacco, but "
think they are the exception.

To repeal the act making the rules of ev-

form. A.---.-.
Mr.. Hinkle moved to lay the bill on the
table. Carried, ayes 81, noes "a.
a motion was entered to take the bill
from the table, which elected considerable
discussion, pending which the House took
a recess until 2:30 O'Clock, when it reas-
sembled
The motion was discussed for some
time, the point raised being that, as the bill
was rejected after the vote on its passage
was reconsidered, it had gone beyond the
range of further action.
The Speaker decided the bill could be
taken from the table. Accordingly the bill
was taken up, when motion to postpone
its consideration indefinitely was lost.
Mr.. Martin then made an argument in
favor of the bill, and was followed by Mr.
Spears in opposition.
The bill sought to be repealed allows par
ties to civil suits to testify in their own be-
half, the argument of Mr.. Martin, and 9TH
ers who had spoken on the same side, being
that where such is the case, with all the
weaknesses and imperfections of human
nature, men will be likely to swear falsely.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Spears remarks
the vote was taken on the passage of the
bill, resulting in its rejection, ayes 81,
noes SO.
For the benefit of the Mechanical and
Agricultural Association of DeKalb county.
