An article in the commercial column of
the Pieayune of yesterday relative to the
Henry c. Yaeger's failure to get the sugar
at the elevator on Saturday evening, on
account OF her not having her clearance
papers, is all wrong, as the clearance papers
were all ready for her, and she went to the
elevator with the contractor and his men. to
put it on board, when the inspector refused
to let her have it unless she laid over until
Monday. Those are the facts of the case,
and we have good authority for them.
