SEN. JAMES
GETS BUSY.
To Secure A Lifting of The For
eign Ban Against
Tobacco.
PLAN NOW BEING EVOLVED
To Get All Foreign Countries
To Agree For Tobacco To
Be Imported.

In q conference at Marion Tues
day b. tween Senator Ollie M. James
and r E. Cooper, president of the
Hopk nsvile tobacco board of trade,
plan was evolved which is expected
10 relieve present dulness in the
sale of Kentucky and Tennessee ex-
port tobacco because Of the Euro
pea1 war. The meeting was feld
following a suggestion made 10 Sen
ator James he re last Friday night by
Mr.. Cooper that if the state depart
nent ut Washington uld secure
the consent of England to permit
the shipment # tobacco in neutral
vessel along with tobacco and cot
ton, there would be no further bar
n foreign business.
Mr.. j Imes promised his hearty
and immediate sup lort. He left
Marion at once and will reach
Washington Friday morning ana
promised to consult at orca with
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan and get the movement start
ed. He was very ssnguine that EGG
lands consent could be secured TO
pass shipments OF tobacco to other
countries. If this can be done it is
by far the most important step that
could be taken, Germany and Aus
tria buy the best tobacco grown in
this country and pay the highest
prices for it. They consume annual
ly abe ut thirty million pounds from
this district. Naturally with them
shut out by lack of shipping as at
pre- ent prices suffer. B1yers for
these two couL tries say that if tobac-
co can be SD poed safely. both coun-
tries will be in the market and will.
ing to bid h gh.
Senator James advised tobacco or
CARNATIONS and commercial bodies
to get up petitions to send to the /
President. Secretary Bryan and the
congressman in support of the J
prositiop; Thousands of dollars
worth of tobacco already contracted
for in this country could then be
shipped and resi- I'd upon. On Mr..
Ctoper's return both the local to-
bacco boerd of trade and business
mems association met and adopted |
resolutions. GAINESVILLE organza-
tions will meet today. All foreign |
buyers have assure ed the tobacco men
that they will make large purchases
if the ban on shipments is raised.
Germany and Austria take annual
ly about 80 00O,000 pounds of dark
tobacc, and the to al foreign sale is
about rs. 900. 900 pounds.
