The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1909-09-22


The buyer priced and shipped this
| 1874 cent tobacco and sold It in Gin
cinnati for 10 cents-an advance Of
I5% cents for his trouble and expense
II have not heard one single instance
of tobacco costing 534 cents handled
and sold through the pool, so Mr.. Clay
had as well have sold through the pool
and made the profit as to have allowed
it to 80 to a Spectator.
a Handful of Dust.
Then follows paragraph which. if
It be not misrepresentation eXag-
geration or outrageous distortion Of

Mr.. Clay says: In the opinion Of the
purchaser our crop realized for him
at least over 10 cents average, which
If you allow for shrinkagc. insurance,
commissions and interest would have
brought between IS and 30 cents in the
pool All the other tobacco OF 1907
would have brought on the basis Of
actual SAFE over 20 cents in the pool
My experience with type settlers and
proof readers Is that they can distOrt

lis due to these agencies, but certainly
no one will claim that the meaning
is clear
One Solution.
Suppose that Mr. Clay meant that
his 1874 cent tobacco would have sold
through the pool AT 60 cents, - cents
or so cents Tho largest charges that
any county has made so far as am
able to learn is S465 per hundred
this for special reasons is an unusually
high charge and includes not only
actual charges but interest and
.shrinkage. S4.65 taken from 500, $25
or $50 leaves $15.35. $20.35 and S25.35
respectively. In other words, Mr. Clay
could have sold his tobacco through
the Clark County Board Of Control
above all costs Tor $l5.35. S20.35 or
$25.35 He would have made $40
$40 or S1210 more than by selling
to the independent buyer for $l3.25.
Another Solution.
Suppose Mr.. Clay meant that in or
der 10 realize $40 this tobacco would
have had to sell for S25 or $50 through
the pool. That is to say that selling
tobacco through the pool costs from So
to $1l per hundred. If this is Mr. Clay's
meaning. it is an outrageous distor.
tiCn of facts Can he point to such
distortion i'm anything ] have said or
written. or any other advocate of the
pool? | have not read or heard its equal
from any advocate of pooling. Mr.
Clay did not specify any Outrageous
distortion Of facts or "misrepresenta'
ton made by any whom he Occuses.
