Association Seeks to Avoid
Complaints of Nesting"
From Customers
Recourse to Bond and Expense
of Reprizing Their Lot.
EDWARD WARE IL INSPECTOR

Edward WareN the well known to-
bacconist, has been appointed official
inspector of the tobacco controlled by
the association and offered for sale
on the Paducah market. According
to the instructions of General Mana
ger Ewing # will be the duty of Mr..
Ware to watch closely all tobacco
offered for sale and where there Is a
suspicion that the tobacco has not
been priced honestly he will pick II
to pieces, and where necessary order
the tobacco reprized, the expense all
being charged to the prizer originally
handling the tobacco.
Last year only one general inspec-
tor was employed, but complaint was
made by the foreign buyers that after
the tobacco had been shipped across
the ocean II was discovered that in
many instances 1t had been "nested"
and did not come up TO the samples,
by which It was bought. This is said
TO be entirely the fault of some of the
prizers. who sought to make tobacco
handled by them bring good prices to
the owners of the tobacco in order
that they might get a large share of
the pricing contracts, the owner of
the tobacco having the right TO select
his own prizer. Besides the employ
ment OF an Inspector at each market
the prizer is under heavy bond this
year for the faithful performance of
his duty, and recourse will be taken
on his bondsmen. II he fails to come
up to the standards
Mr. Ware IS an experienced tobacco
man and is qualified for the place.
He was formerly connected with the
house of Stahl & company, the Italian
BUYERS.

CHILDISH TRAIT
REFUSING TO BID
FOR COUNTY WORK

The Sun has never felt that the
general pubic was interested In petty
wrangles of newspapers in their com
petition for business. so has refrained
from parading such incidents before
los readers. However, for once. to see
that justice is done a fellow citizen,
we shall depart from that policy.
The county delinquent tax list is
published once year the first part
of February. and heretofore has been
going 10 the News Democrat. without
any effort on the part of the other pa
pers TO get the business. However,
this year. the management Of The
Sun. feeling that every paper in the
city has a right to any business that
any public official has TO place. com
municated with the sheriff, who pub
fishes this tax list. and told him The
sun would like to bid on the adver-
tlsement.
He replied that he would commun-
icate with all three of the papers when
the list was ready for publication, as
he, too. thought that the newspaper
making the lowest bid should have It.
The list was ready Friday, so Mr..
Wilhelm. of The Register, Mr.. Berry,
OF the News Democrat, and Mr.. Pax
ton, Of The Sun. were asked for bids.
Mr.. Berry and Mr.. Paxton were In
the sheriff's Office at the same time
and agreed they would submit their
bids by o'clock.
At 2:3O The SUMS bid was In and
In few minutes Mr.. Berry called and
informed the sheriff that his newspa-
per would make no bid. as he felt
that. as a Democratic newspaper, they
should have the business. regardless
Of price.
The Sheriff, however. did not think
so. nor would any taxpayer, so the
list was awarded to The Sun.
In Sundays issue the News-Demo-
crat in a feature article on the first
page attacks the sheriff for following
good BUSINESS principles. and dis
played the childish, selfish traits that
always have marked its career.
