A new farming industry which Is being

which recalls the old Danville and
Lynchburg days, when the mountain
farmers used to drive wagons through
to those towns, Is the raising of to-
bacco on an increasing scale In three
or four counties next to the Tennessee
line. The hurley variety is now being
grown and while the acreage Is not
large, those who have tried IL have
been so successful that many other
farmers express the intention of put
ting out crops next year. and there
Is promise that the crop will assume
proportions of importance.
A farmer of North Buncombe yes
terday brought into Asheville some
Tobacco leaves which he said were OF
average size of the crop which he had
raised. One of the leaves was ~
inches long and Is inches wide. He
had one and three-quarter acres plant

estimate he would make $500 on the
crop. The hurley variety was the
Kind planted and has been in Guilt
walton here for three or four years
and is becoming more popular as a
money crop each year.
AS is Wen known western North
Carolina was once the banner tobacco
growing section OF this State. The
price went down and the soil wore
out at about the same time. 1t was
the custom to clear new ground when
ever the soil was exhausted. However

"the elevator man." MIR. Hoskins leg
was caught between the bottom OF the
elevator and the second floor of the
building and the bonss were snapped
like twigs. The suffering of the I'M
fortunate man was intense and his
cries could be heard In all parts OF
the building
Capt Harry Lawrence, whose ONCE
is nearby. was the first to reach Mr..
Hoskins side, and assisted him into

Mr.. Hoskins entered the Silsby
building shortly after IL o'clock on
his way to the office OF Messrs. Lett

had lefr the elevator end gone to get

that he did not think the increase IN
rate would quite meet the additional
Question Ruled Out. .
Mr.. King asked whether tie Wit
ness, as an expert insurance man, re-
garded the increase in rate % ,eason-
able. Captain Berkeley spoke viso''
ously against this question. saying
that the witness. who Is an insuran ,e
man himself and member of the
combine, was being asked to da;'fe
what motive prompted the defendants.
The objection was sustained. MT
King asked what was the witness' oSn
motive IN applying the additional ~
per cent. for his company. The ccm-
monwealth's objection 10 this also was
sustained.
The witness said that the license
tax rate OF Petersburg. $i.25 fat ana
$1.45 or si0o of premiums. was In
effect before the Southeastern Under.
writer's Association came into Vir-
glnia.
On cross, sxam;nation. the Witness
said that the association ought to have
taken steps toward having the Peters
burg license reduced. Captain Berke-
lev asked him about the license tax
resolution adopted at Hot Springs. but
the defense objected and the question
was not pressed.
Can't Account For Expenses.
Answering Captain Berkeley. Mr..
Leckey said that the expense Of the
fire insurance companies went up as
the premium income increased. And
that when the increase OF 10 per cent.
in Newport News premiums added
s., 600 10 the income Of the companies
on the same business previus'y
handled for that much less money.
40 per cent. had to be deducted from
the $4,000 by expense OF doing busi-
ness. Taxation and agents commits
sions we're the only items he could
mention. but he knew that the 40 per
cent. had to be deducted.
The cross examination appeared to
be Just fairly under way when court
adjourned for the day. and Mr.
Leckey will be recalled this morning.
The principal witness for the COM
monwealth yet to be examined, God
frey l.. Smith, civil engineer of the
shipyard, reached the court room
shortly after Mr.. Leckey took the
stand. Mr.. Smith will be put on the
stand after the examination of Mr..
Leckey Is concluded.
1t is expected that L. R., Warren,
chairman Of the Virginia comIaittee
OF the Southeastern Underwr0ers'
and Mr. Harris, secre-
tary OF the committee. will testify on
behalf OF themselves and their fellow
defendants this afternoon. y
