Where Does the Lie Come in
According to the Salisbury Star, the
Commercial received $73 for public
1-printing last year—the least paid to any
paper in the county; and according to
the Salisbury Star the Commercial is
getting the most official printing.
Where does the lie come in?—Meyers-

a lie or two. But every man has his
trade and “Lucifer” is no exception to
the rule. Tur Star at no time said
that the Commercial is getting most of
the official printing, but-it did say that
there was a time when most of this
{printing went to the Herald and the
Meyersdale Scull organette. We are

A Correction.
The article in Tne Star, last week,
| which showed what outrageous high-
| way-robbery prices “Timmie” Scull and
“Lucifer” Smith want to compel the
county to pay them for printing elec-
tion proclamations, contained an error,
{ which was made in setting up the arti-
| cle. Some figures were quoted as giv-
ing the number of inches used by the
| Cambria Herald, Johmstown Tribune,
| | Connellsville Courier, Altoona News and
| Monongahela Republican in publishing
| the 1898 election proclamation. These
| figures were not intended to show the
number of inches used for said procla-
| mation by the papers in our neighbor-
ling counties, as they appeared in the
I said artiele, but were to show the num-
ber of inches less than the Herald and
Commercial utilized for the same pur-
pose when they undertook to make
that big grub out of the county treas-
ury, which the Commissioners very
wisely refused to- tolerate, for which
they should have the thanks of every
voter and tax-payer in this county.
It will be remembered that because
the Commissioners refused to pay $l.-
