Rate Hearing Ends Till Feb. 81.

Rate Hearing Ends Till Feb. ~.
The rate hearing before the special
freight rate commission adjourned
recently until February "a when the
state will take up the cross-examina-
ton of its witnesses and begin the
development of its testimony.
The Norfolk and Western concluded
It's case with Comptroller Coke on the
witness stand and Lucien H. Cooke.
general counsel conducting the ex-
animation: The state cross-examined
Mr.. Coke while he was here and he
Will not have to return here to be
polite while he is on the grill.
The Norfolk e Western choose it's
own way to defend it's case. It made
no distinction between interstate and
1ntrastate freight rates and made all
calculations upon the basis of bust
ness originating outside the state. It
conceded more to the state than any
of the roads and contended that upon
neither state nor Translate business
was it making such revenues as would
justify a reduction.
Mr.. Coke spoke by way of outlining
his company's position. He said that
he expected to be able to prove the
points urged against the Justice act
by sumltting the tax values of the
property as correct value, Though
it is not" he explained, "and to as
sumo that the entire intrastate bust
ness is done at no greater cost than
the interstate business, and that even
then, the entire earnings of the Nor
folk and Western in North Carolina,
including all business, interstate and
intrastate, are not sufficient to pay a
return of more than four percent"
Mr.. Coxe's concession was made in
order to facilitate the hearing.
Throughout the examination the large
systems had maintained that there is
a very considerable difference in the
cost of operating a local and a trans
state train. The local runs more
slowly, carries two more men, has
double terminal costs and loses much
time which adds to cost of fuel and
to overtime charged. He waived all
these and made no point of it when
he did it.
''This estimate is based upon the
tax values under the rates as they
now exist" he continued, "but in the
event that rates are reduced, how !
ever, and the excess value over and
above the tax value of tn property
upon which the Norfolk and Western
Railway Company is entitled ito re-

oglst Joseph Hyde Pratt, giving the
activities of the board for the mast sig

the next haf-year. Members of the
BOARD all of whom were here for the
meeting, are Hugh McRae, Whining
ton; II. E. Fries, Winston-Salem:

The report showed active co-oper-

Agriculture in the Investigation of
lime deposits and it was determined
to carry these Investigations into
every section of the state during the
next year with a view to bringing
about the largest possible develop
ment of lime deposits for agricultural
purposes.
Gold mining in this state was shown
to b emuch on the increase, with a
number of mines being operated on a
profitable basis.
In highway construction the report
was made that two miles of the Hick-
ory Nut Gap highway have been COM
pleted and six bridges, one of them
steel, and all of them thoroughly sub
stantial, have been constructed, there
being 35 state convicts at work Oh

TWO FOOTBALL PLAYERS FROM
OKLAHOMA WILL REPORT TO
COACH HARDY NEXT
MONTH. ~.

The most promising lot of new
football material in the schools his
tory will report at the Dakota Wes-
leyan training camp next month.
This announcement was made yester-
day by Prof. H. 1. Jones, chairman
of the university athletic hoard.
For the past three months Prof.
| Jones has secured South Dakota In
the annual summer campaign, and in
addition to the regular list of new
students, has won the promise of en-
rollment of a number of the states
best high school athletes of last year.
In view of the rivalry among the COL
leges of South Dakota, mention of
the names of the new men was not
considered polite at this time.
Among the young stars who will
report next month are two from Okla
homa, Both were former members
of the Central high school eleven in
Muskogee, Okla, d school which held
the interscholastic championship of
the state while they were players.
Both were named as members of the
Oklahoma all-state eleven.

opens. Capt. ERIK" Robertson ant
his crew of gridiron heavies will start
the season with last years roster
