La Toilette Remains y,
In Virtual Seclusion. Z
Resting for Campaign

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Priming
himself for strenuous days OF cam
paigning, Senator La Toilette, inde-
pendent candidate for president, re-
mains practically in seclusion here.
He is delivering no speeches, al
though he is preparing some for use
later in the camapign, is leaving
management of his campaign, par
ticularIy the details, to others, and
has only a limited number of con-
ferences with friends and political
advisers.
AS a rule the Wisconsin senator
arises about 1880 a. M, and after
breakfast and a leisurely perusal of
morning newspapers goes to the cap
itol. He rarely walks, preferring to
ride in his automobile. Most of the
day he remains tucked away in an
out-of-the-way office, separate from
his suite In the senate office build
ing, where his son, Robert M. La
Toilette, campaign director here,
and a force of aides, do their work.
Senator La Toilette tells inquirers
he is in excellent physical condition.
having entirely recovered from his
illness of the winter and spring.

FIRST DAYS SALES
Of GEORGIA TOBACCO
AMOUNT To 100000

MACON, Ga, Aug. More than
$500, 900 pounds of tobacco were
sold at auction in ten south Georgia
tobacco marketing centers during
Wednesday, the opening day of the
season. according to reports to the
Macon Telegraph
In most instances. reports indicat-
ed that the growers have not yet
brought in their best tobacco, but the
low grades offered brought a price
averaging better than 20 cents
pound, or a total cash return of ap-
proximately 100000.
The seasons crop probably will
bring more than ten times that
amount, according to estimates that
have been made, and from the good
prices obtained during TIE day. the
total will go considerably over the
estimate.
Some tobacco during the day sold
as low as four cents a pound, but
not much at that figure. Some
brought as high as 70 cents pound,
this being a consignment of especial
ly fine tobacco from BrantIey county,
sold at Triton, and one consignment
at Nashville brought 80 cents a
pound; Vidalia as high as 46 cents a
pound; Hahira as high as so cents
and Fitzgerald reported sales at As
ceEts.

SALES CONTINUE BRISK
ON VALDOSTA MARKET

VALDOSTA, Ca, Aug. 7-Tobac-
co sales Thursday were a continual
ton Of Wednesday,, the auctioneers
and buyers trying to clean up the
stocks on the warehouse floors that
could not be reached opening day.
AT Nashville, about a third of the
stock on the floor was sold Wednes-
day, two of the large warehouses
not being touched. At Hahira, it
was about the same thing, while at
Naldosta not much over half the
stock was touched.
The sales Thursday ranged at good
prices in all of the markets, aver
aging about % cents. Some of the
lowest grades that were knocked off
here Wednesday were put up and
resold Thursday, bringing much bet
ter prices, in some instances twice to
three times as much as Wednesday
when conditions were somewhat de
mOralized by the immense crowd
that thrOnged the warehouse and got
in the way of buyers and sellers
The highest price here was so cents
Thursday for tobacco grown by J.
w. Bradshaw, of Jennings, Fla. He
had another lot that brought so
cents.
At Hahira, a negro tenant on J.
E. Webb's place ha dtobacco to sell
for 65 cents.
At Nashville. J. r. Carter. of Cook
county, sold 1000 pounds at SO cents,
and Morgan Rowan sold 8 5000 pounds
at 81 cents. 1t is hardly probable
that much new tobacco will be put
on the floors this week. as the i'm
mense quantities at the opening
have given the buyers and auction
GERS more than they Guild dispose of.
The sales are icing packed in huge
hogsheads. and will be shipped as
rapidly as possible.

Double Selling Force

In Nashville, because of the heavy
volume of tobacco brought in by the
growers, arrangements were made to
establish a double selling force, be-
ginning with Thursday morning. AT
several other points TIE buyers were
unable to reach all warehouses, be-
cause of the large offerings.
In all marketing centers, the open
ing of the tobacco season was cele.
brated with barbecues. Thousands of
persons flocked to each city. There
were buyers on land for all of the,
big tobacco firms figuring in the
Georgia markets.
