ArtorNEY JonN R. Scott, of Somer-
set, spent the day in this city in the in-
terest of several of the candidates from
his county in whom he is interested.
Mr. Scott has the name of being a good
*‘button-holer,” and those who witnessed
his operations were somewhat reminded
of the methods of a New York confidence
man, from the manner in which he would
take hold of the old farmers and try to

The Commercial Shows its Ears.
The chronic case of bellyache that
presides over the uncertain destinies of
that would-be newspaper known as the
Meversdale Commercial, last week slop-
ped over to such an extent as to make
people wonder whether its editor is a
fool or a crazy man. Many have come
to the conclusion that he is both.
He first finds fauld with a poster job
that was printed at Tue STAR office, but
as the person for whom it was printed
was satisfied with it, it does not matter
much whether it pleases the cross-eyed
critic of the Commercial or not. We ad-
mit that the piece of poster work was
none of the best, and that it was a little
on the order of the Commercial’s black-
smith work, but we couldn’t very well do
any better just at the time it was printed.
We were caught right in a time when we
had nearly all our poster type set up in
other jobs, and as this one had to be
printed on very short notice, the best we
could do was to do the best we could,
and so we resorted to patch work. This
same thing has bappened time and time
again to many printers that have more
type than can be found in THE STAR and
Commercial offices combined. When it
comes to doing poster work, we take no
back seat for any printer in this county,
and we can show samples of our product
that are far superior to anything the
Commercial can trot out. We are readv
and willing to pick out a dozen or more
of our best samples of poster work, let
the Commercial do the same, and then
secure a committee of competent printers
to decide whose work is the better. Now.
put shut up. Any printer will
once in a great while turn out a job that
is not first-class, and such blacksmith
shops as the Commercial seldom turn out
work that 7s first-class. All that hurts
the Commercial is the fact that THE STAR
scoops in so much of the work that it
(the Commercial) would like to secure.
But where our esteemed contemporary
gets off its base the worst is in its half-
column of childish babble headed ““Crook-
ed Politics.” Tt tries to make it appear
that becanse Tue Star made favorable
mention of Adam Fogle as a candidate
for the nomination of County Commis-
sioner, that we are making an attack up-
on the other candidates. But as Tur
STAR has never said an unkind word con-
cerning any candidate at present in the
field, as all our readers well know, we
fail to see how the Commercial can sub-
stantiate its charge. If expressing our
choice of candidates for certain offices
and saying a few favorable words in their
behalf is wrong, especially when making
no remarks about other candidates, either
pro or con, then men
“Crooked indeed!
Lou Smith ought to be the last man in
Somerset county to accuse others of he-
ing crooked in polities. It will be re-
membered how he tooted his bazoo for
Ed Scull, last fall, and how he ridiculed
the candidacy of J. D. Hicks. He wrote
as though Mr. Hicks had no right to be
a candidate, but that gentleman got there
just the same. And in speaking of Mr.
Scull, it will also be remembered by hun-
dreds of our readers how he was vilified
and abused by the Commercial. several
years ago. All the vile epithets that
could be heaped upon man, this
same Lou Smith heaped upon this same
Mr. Scull. We appeal to you, citizens of
Somerset county, did he not do so? Yes,
fellow citizens, he did and you all know
it. The Commercial at that time was a
weekly tirade of abuse, the vilest and
blackest ever published in any paper that
ever existed in Somerset county. But all
of a sudden ‘‘a change came o’er the sea,”
and the Commercial ceased its ugly charg-
es against Mr. Scull and began to laud
him to the skies. In fact it began to
slobber all over him and refer to him
only in the most endearing and compli-
mentary terms. The Commercial has
been a staunch supporter of Mr. Scull
ever since. But what caused this sud-
den and great change of heart? What
was the price paid to you, Mr. Smith?
Thou vile scavenger and manipulator of
crooked politics, please answer. Did yon
swallow your own vomit for nothing?
Did you lie about Mr. Scull when you
abused him or when you praised him?
Surely youn could not be acting justly and
honorable in both cases. Show the peo-
ple another case of politics so crooked as
yours, if vou dare. Now that you have
opened the subject of crooked politics,
we will show vou how to close. If we
can not do you justice, there are several
honorable and we'l known gentlemen in
the county who will help us, and who
will write over their own signatures, too.
As to our attack upon Mr. Colborn,
which the Commercial speaks of, we care
not who likes it or who does not like it.
We had sufficient grounds for the attack,
but we will never swallow our own words
as the Commercial did in Mr. Scull’s case.
Money can’t buy us, which is a fact that
Mr. Colborn well knows, even if Lou
Smith does not.
In conclusion we wish to say that the
Commercial’s chief object in view, at the
present time, is to injure THE STAR'S bus-
iness. Slippery Smith hates to see a
newspaper in Salisbury and does every-
thing to harm it that he can. This has
been his sneaking game ever since we
located here. He wanted to locate here
himself, shortly after he was ousted out
of the office now occupied by the Regis-
ter, but because he was so well known
here that he was not wanted, and because
the citizens of this town offered Tur
STAR good inducements to locate here—
because of all these things, gentle reader,
he is like the dog in the manger. Old
slippery can call us ‘‘small” if he wants
to. We do not claim many angelic qual-
ities; but if we can not show up a clean-
er, more honorable and more manly rec-
ord than Lou A. Smith in our dealings
with our fellow men, then may God have
pity on us. A man of his age that can
get patronage only through undeserved
pity, as has been the case with him for
the past few years, should be satisfied
without trying to injure the business of
others through falsehood. There is some-
thing wrong with a man of that kind.
We have a right to publish a paper in
this town without Lou Smith’s consent,
and whenever he tries to unjustly injure
THE STAR or the town in which it is pub-
lished, we will defend our business and
our town. We will never put up with
an uncalled-for attack like he made upon
us last wéek. We will maintain our
rights, first, last and all the time, let
come what may.
