BRUTALITY IS ALWAYS BRUTAL.
The News and Courier of Charleston,

! The News and Courier Of Charleston, S. c., is one of the southern papers which seems to forget that the civil var is over, and, it appears to be Iv- ing in bhe past, although it is one of the best newspapers of the south. It recently told a story of the war, which had to do with an outrage committed by squad of federal soldiers upon an old man, whom they cruelty tortured. and then expressed the wish to know what the Springfield Republican thought of the affair. The Republi- can. nothing daunted, replied briefly that i've think that if the men who perpetrated that brutality are now liv- ing they are exactly fit to move to Collector county, South Carolina, and take positions as leading citizens"
 Probably the News and Courier may have attempted to, reply to this retort courteous, but we do not know. It makes no difference, however, what tie Charleston paper. may have to say in reply. The Republican made d tten strike" in it's rejo,nder Brutal aty is brutality wherever it is com !. mitted and whenever it is perpetrated, and it matters not who ts implicated It is one of the misfortunes of war that men are too frequently led to commit outrages through excessive zeal or through mere love for brutality ; There is possible excuse for men who } even in time of war, attack non-com- batants and uraatreat or kill them. There is far less excuse for men who, . in times of peace. hang and shoot and fnutilalbe men who are merely sus- pedsed of having committed crime
 At no time has the power of the courts in the south, in the direction of preventing them from punishing ac- eused men,. been Gakeas from them; yet for score of years it has been the custom in south Carolina and other southern states to hang iegroes, and , occasionally white men. who were merely suspected of crime If the News and Courier wishes ,to ask any more questionseo of northern newspapers 1t can depend upon receiving reply without any equiVocation.

You need a blood purifier. We make this assertion with confidence because it is a fact that there is scarcely one person in ten thousand whose blood is free from humors, scrofula, acids, or some taint, either hereditary or ac- quired. Pimples, boils, blotches, erup- tions are not the only indications. De- bility, lack of energy, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, rheumatic pains, poor sleep, headache, dizziness, specks floating before the eyes, and many other symptoms plainly indicate the need of thorough cleansing of the blood. The longer you delay, the more difficult will be the cure. The medicine to take is Ayers Sarsaparilla, and the time to begin is now. Con tinue to take it through March, April and May, or until you feel that health and strength are fully restored, which will be when all those painful and troublesome symptoms are entirely re- moved. The young, the old, the mid dle-aged alike need the potent, but benign influence of Ayers Sarsapa- rilla, the best of blood medicines.

This morning in the Supreme Court
before Judge Haskell, the case petw cen
the cities of Portland and Deering in re-.
gard to the taxation by Deering of land
which Portland purchased for cemetery
purposes, will come up. Deering assessed
the land in 1894. and Portland refused
to pay the tax, holding that the land,
being for burial purposes and part of
Evergreen cemetery, was not subject to
taxation. These lands are situated in
the city of Deering. to wit, land in the
rear of the northerly side of Brighton
street, which is bounded on the north by
line running parallel with and 35 feet
southerly of a private way belonging to
the A. W. Longfellow lot; on the south
east by land Of Us. Richardson and estate
of Daniel Ham let, and on the north.
west by land OF K. g. Riggs-this part
in question containing about 60 acres
land in the rear of the easterly side of
the Portland & Rochester location which
Is bounded on the north by the land OF
John D. Spiller and A. W. Wilson, and
on the east and south by Evergreen GEM
etery-this part in question containing
about five acres; land on the southerlJ
side of the Portland & Rochester looa
ton that is bounded on the easterlv sids
by the lard of q. o. Lord, A. W. Long

hand, the Sebenoa carried less passengers

Trom the above statements 1t will be
seen that in point of summer population
Bar Harbor's '96 season almost equalled
that of 80. The war ships did n t come
herezthis season. They usually attrac,
large crowds. This was offset by the
Centennial aud on the whole the traffic
varied very little this year from last
In the social world there was less en-
pertaining done than in '05 and here
were less large affairs which CAV, an
eolat and spirit TO the season. Like In
every presidential year with business
unsettled and its future uncertain, So
ctety and wealth put on brakes and cur
tailed expenses. From indications at
the close of the present season next
season will be prosperous one for Bar
Harbor. Many new families who spent
their first summer here as oottagert re-
rented for next season and there are
rumors of much building afoat.
There are many true indications hat
the Bar Harbor season Is gradually gr,w-
ing longer for there were more cotta@rs

fore.

AT ToPsHAM.
Fair Opened Yesterday and will Continue
Today and Tomorrow.
ESPECIAL TO THE pnEss.1

tSREClAL 10 THE fhESS.l
Topsham, October 15.-Every body in
this vicinity has been talking weather as
well as horses today, and we'll they
should. Some have been led to almost
believe that the sun will never shine
again, that ia in this town. This fore
noon the rain poured down the hardest
that it has fallen during the week. At
noon it cleared away, to be followed by
what has been the condition since Tues
day forenoon, drizzling rain.
The Topsham fair officials are rather
discouraged today. This afternoon the
hall has been the centre of the exotic
Inent. Many people have visited the ex-
hibits. The midway opened this noon
and the Litohfleld Cadet band gave a
concert to attract the small crowd on the
grounds. The fakirs did soma business.
The band boys have been in town since
Tuesday noon.
The executive committee held meet
ing this afternoon and decided that today
should be the opening, hut the trotting
events were postponed to Friday. AS the
Rigby races have been postponed some Of
the borsemen desired that the races be
postponed until next week. The COM
mittee is considering this and will decide
tomorrow. If the weather is pleasant to-
morrow the fair probably will be pushed
through before Saturday night, but it is
is not pleasant Friday, probably the fair
will be postponed to next week, just the
same.
The committee having decided on to-
day as the opening. the drauRhting
match advertised came of. 1t was for
draft oxen under seven feet. j. B. Buker
of Bowdoin, got first premium, his oxen
drawing 145 feet; Frank L. Jordan of
Brunswick, 95 feet, was second and N.
A. Brown & Son, Richmond, as feet,
third.
| The various committees common ced
| their duties today, awarding the
premiums, which will be published Sat-
urday IN ornlng.
The tair officials are certainly very un-
fortunate with the record breaking
weather. 1t beats all in the forty-twc
years. history OF the association. There is
not much sign at this writing that there
will be any Improvement in the Amos
phere. The hotels are doing a good bust
ness. All of them have full houses.
The electric ruad company is taking in
considerable money. The travel has been
large since it commenced operations
Tuesday forenoon. Only one of the two
cars has been in operation today, being
quite enough for the travel. 1t is un.
fortunate, and not tho best thing for this
weather. that both the cars received by
the com pany are open. The box cars will
not arrive for some time. Wednesday
the two cars carr led nearly 1900 passen-
| gers.
Wednesday night and last evening" the
Harris & Kennedy company gave pleas

BAR HARBOR TRAVEL.
The traffic figures compiled at the local
Office Of the Maine Central concerning
the Frenchman's bay route are always
interesting as showing how many people
visited Bar Harbor each season, says the
Bar Harbor Record. While there has
been general complaint that the past
season was not as brisk for business as
49, still the figures show that the differ
ence in travel was vary little, in fact the
figures Of '96 exceed those of '95 up to
September !, by just four. in other
words four more people arrived and de-
parted from June than in the previous
year. August, which Is usually the
banner month and the height of the
season, showed great falling off this
year, the figures being 1929, and Septem-

addition to these buildings, scrap sheds,
dry kilns, stores and offices will be
erected, the whole have total floor area
of 1856, 900 superficial feet.
The walls will be built of high oolored
brick, and the roofs will be Of slate. A
special feature has been made of the ar
rangements for light and ventilation,
with the result that the buildings will
not be surpassed in these respects by any
car shops on the continent. Continuous
sky-lights along the apex of the roofs
and at intervals along the sides, in addi-
tion to the extra large windows, will
provide m abundance of light to every
part of the buildings. The latest systems
of ventilation have been adopted, and
the shops will be heated throughout by
steam. The arrangements for handling
material in the shops are as nearly per-
feot as circumstances will permit.
For instance. In the wood machine
shop, which is to be equipped with the
most modern machinery, the Tough

Sorrento Is about the busiest place on
the shores of Frenchman's bay just at
this time of the year, and Superintend-
ent W. H. Lawrence has his hands full.
In the first place he has gang OF about
sixty men at work finishing the water
works extension, which will be complet-
ed this fall and will give to Sorrento
one of the best water systems to be found
In the state, as we'll as one Of the hsalthi-
est and purest waters to be found any
where. The source of the supply is Long
pond, away up in the Tunk mountains,
seven miles away.
There has begun near the wharf there
the construction of three marine rail-
ways, which will be great addition and
convenience to the shipping OF French
mans bay. The railways will be large
enough for steamers and small craft can
be accommodated as well.
The wharf at Sorrento will be enlarged
before the winter sets in and work will
be begun right away. 1t will be forty
feet front and about fifty feet on the
head.
Work on the Bar Harbor breakwater
progresses rapidly these days and before
the winter sets In u great extension will
have been added to the work.
Fifty Italians arrived In Bar HRrbOr
last week and are at work on the water
works improvements started last sum-
mer.
The syndicate that is building the
monster lumber mill in Ashland has just
purchased in Boston and had shipped TO
that town the heaviest consignmens OF
machinery that has been made to Maine
LOT years. 1t consisted of four horizontal
tubular boilers Of $50 horse power each,
ana one iron smoke stack six feet in
diameter and 90 feet high. The shipping
weight was 80, 000 pounds, and eight cars
were required TO transfer 1t to the Ash
lana Manufacturing Company. The dam
across the Aroost0ok river at Ashland is
nearly completed and the frame for the
large mill will soon be erected. A large
sto' ehouse is being built by the side OF
the railroad track and several dwelling
houses nov will be put up this fall: About
lou men are at present employed In push
Ing forward the work at this point.
