MISS WHARTON ENTERTAINED IN MOBILE

The following comment in the Mobile Register will be of interest to the friends in Birmingham of Miss Whar, ton, who is receiving a number of de lightful social courtesies during her visit in the Gulf City:
 Two more visitors, one from Texas and one from Alabama, who, as the house guests of Mary Lee Turner, have been enjoying a bit of society life in the Gulf City, are Miss Louise Ora ham, whose home is fin Graham, Tex, and Miss Bebe Wharton of Birming- ham, whose travels do not end with way up to early spring. Miss Whar- til Wednesday at Akera, Miss, with having married Elizabeth Tonart, who is Bebe's cousin, and then she will re- turn here for a few days again before departing on Friday for her home in the Magic City, and after Christmas she plans to go to Gulf Park college down at Gulfport. I was terribly sorry her engagements prevented her attending the performance of Mary the Third," because being a member of the Little theater in Birmingham, and having taken part in three plays in her home city, was eager for her to see one of our plays, and especially when we staged about our greatest success such success that we expect our mem- bership to increase threefold, for out siders having heard of it, are inquiring if it's too late to join, and I am glad to tell them we always try to make room for one more.

 I have been so heartbroken that I have been staying at home in the eve ming in order to avoid the questions of my friends. My family urge me to get out and make new acquaintances and forget him, but I find that my old friends are married, or keeping com pany, which makes me feel like third party. Then, where can a young girl go except to the movies without an es- cort?
 I have a very good position, but of late I find myself star-gazing and drift ing from my work to such an extent that I feel that I will have to resign from my job.

LAFOLLETTE OFFERED
SUGAR STOCK At 50
by SENATOR SMOOT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-Reply-
ing to repeated attacks by Senator
La Toilette in connection with the
sugar controversy, Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, has offered to sell
to Mr. La Toilette for So a share his
stock in the Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany. He listed his holdings as 440
shares.
Senator La Toilette, in Baltimore
last night, charged that Vice Chair
man Culbertson, of the tariff COM
mission, had been invited to the Of
flee of Mr.. Smoot and there had
found a group interested in sugar
duties. He also charged that men,
bers of congress had tried to CO.
cree the commission to prevent re-
duction in sugar duties.
THE meeting referred to Mr.. La
Toilette in his speech last evening in
Baltimore" Senator Smoot said,
"was arranged in the following man.
ner:
1.-THE Representatives of the Ameri-
can producers of sugar complained
to me that the tariff commission in
arriving at the cost of producing
sugar in Cuba, as compared with the
cost in the United States, did not
confine itself to obtaining the latest
available figures of cost but based
the same on the average cost over
a period from 1917 to 1928, which en-
braced a period of most violent fluc-
tuations in wages, land values and
prices and also carried years be-
fore the provision of law granting
the president the power to increase
or decrease the tariff rates. Again
it was plain that the commission ig-
uored the agricultural costs in pro-
ducing cane, except in the case of
Hawaii.
Mr.. Culbertson came to my COM
mittee room and met the above men
toned producers, some eight or nine
of them 1t is stated that Mr.. Hodges
treasurer OF the Republican national
committed, was at the meeting.
There were two men present that
did not know. 1t may be that Mr..
Hodges was one of them. The meet
ing was held but short time dur
ing which Mr.. Mead (the representa-
tive Of the sugar producers of Ha-
wall, presented the case to Mr.. Gull
bertson along the above lines. Mr..
Culbertson made very brief state
ment and left the committee room
He stated he wanted to be fair with
the industry and that was about all
he said. No request was made Of
him by myself or any one else at
that meeting.
''It is true that l am a stockhold-
err in the Utah-Idaho Sugar com
pany, holding 440 shares. I have
never owned more than this amount
in my life in the said company. II
Mr.. La Toilette wants to buy said
amount, l will sell it to him at SO
a share"

THOMASTON'S NEW CENSUS
SHOWS POPULATION IS 7,25O
Town Nearly Doubled in Size
in Last Four YearS-MalI
Carriers Help Take Count

THOMASTON, Ca, Oct. 29.-The
mail carriers have just completed a
census of Thomaston and East Thorn
aston, and find that the combined
population of the two towns totals =
$50. This figure shows that the pop
ulation has more than doubled in the
last four years, the 1920 census Civ
ing approximately $500.
The increase has been for the
greater part due to the growing OPP
Grafton of the textile mills and the
new constructions under way. The
Thomaston cotton mills and the Peer
less cotton mills have been running
full time for many months, even dur =
ing the time when most mills were
on half-time schedule, or closed down.
The plants are now running day and
might. The Thomaston bleachery is
now We'll under construction, and it
is expected that the operation of this
plant will bring another increase in
population to East ThOmaston.
In ThomastOn proper, the last year
has seen much development. A num-
Der OF new business houses havr
opened up; many new dwellings, have
been completed, and a number of
them are yet under construction.
Business is on the boom in Thomas
