A Contemplated Improvement.

Postmaster Lynch has secured
authority from Washington to extend
the sidewalk north of the postoffice to
Aliens building, provided the city pays
for one-half of the cost. The plan is
to widen the side walk and extend it
farther toward the Allen building, and
making a straight road to the wharves
at that point. A new retaining wall
will have to be built. but the improve
ment will be of great benefit, both to
the looks of the street and the con-
venience of teams. The city govern
ment has taken favorable action upon
the matter. but the probability is that
nothing will be done on the walk before
spring.

An Augusta Author Complimented.

In it's issue of Sept 26, the Progress
of ST. John. N. b., pays merited
compliment to Augustus well known
author, Miss Olive +. Dana. 1t says.
THE title Of this volume of short
stories by Olive r. Dana. is in itself
alluring, and full of good neighborli
ness and homelike suggestion: Under
Friendly Eaves.' indeed, brings The
reader into pleasant places. and among
honest 'kintra' folk, of the sterling
kind. such as may be found in the rural
districts With which Mrs. Stowe first
began to make us famiIiar:-and we
may say that we have met the counter
parts of her people in our pastoral pill
grimages. AS for Miss Dana, Miss
JeWett herself has not exceeded the
fidelity with which she portrays New
England rural life: and especially such
characters as inhabit the midland and
western portion Of the State of Maine.
She writes with remarkable clearness
and sweetness. and her people and
scenes are drawn with a distinctness
and vividness that give the impression
Of life-likeness and reality. Who draws
deep a spicy Whit Of pine-srove odor
il the deep of noon, as he threads the
path who stretches himself on the
southern slope of n Hill in the waning
of a summer afternoon: who goes after
the juggling bells a-sleighing on
moonlit winter night; he has such i'm
pressions as these stories are fit to con-
vey. The colloquial portions are inter
spersed With exquisite little vignettes
and scenic bits.
There are people enough to. make
village of the ideal sort. to all of whom
the imagination of the authoress has
given sort of visibility; and there is
not one of them but is doing some kind
act, coming by experience to some use
full truth, or illustrating some neglected
virtue. There is the old man of soured
disposition, who goes to the city, and
is so changed by sermon from the lips
of Phillips Brooks; and there is Miss
Hannah's Harvesting. and she neatly
harvests husband: and there is the
quiet, solitary David Train. who
gathers the lesson by the wayside that
sends him back to the fellowship of his
brother-man. Miss Dana is apt to
teach and she steals away the readers
heart. and wins his assent, by the half
unconscious sweetness with which she
does it. Willingly do we have our fault
laid bare by such a gentle and amiable
pen: and if we do not close her volume
with kinder and tenderer thoughts and
feelings than we had when we opened
1t. the fault cannot belong to the
syritayv

Libby VS.. Blaisdell. The testimony
in this case on the part of the plain
titf was concluded during the forenoon
and the defendent proceeded with his
case. The defendent admits that he
told the plaintiff that he would cure
him. but denies that he ever guaran-
teed cure. He says that of what he
told and wrote plaintiff can even be
construed as a guaranty. then he was
to have reasonable time within which
TO effect cure, and this he claims was
not given, if as matter of fact ii should
be found that a cure was not per-
formed. But he claims cure was made
from his treatment, and If it was not
entirely perfect, it has resulted in great
benefit to the plaintiff health The
testimony was concluded at $40 and

The State Board of Control has
made another step forward in pro-
hibiting the county dispensers from
taking partizan part in politics.
This order of the Board removes an
other serious objection to the dispen-
sary system and if strictly and hon
estly enforced, which we have no doubt
will be done, will tend to check the
disposition of designing and unscru-
pulous men to use the. dispensers
as a machine to advance
their own selfish personal and pollti-
cal ends. There is, however, still
room for great improvement in the
management of the system, and as
the present Board has given substan-
tial evidence of it's purpose to cor
rect, as much as they can, much OF
the evil attending the sale OF whisky,
we may reasonably expect other SAL
utary reforms to be adopted, and
right along this line, it would be in
keeping with honesty, at least for the
State to deal fairly with her citizens
and patrons. If the State OF South
Carolina is to deal in whisky and
force by stringent laws her citizens
to patronize her bars, she should GER
tainly in return give full and honest
measure. 1t is fact that the pint
and half pint TASKS now sold by the
dispensary authorities do not contain
full measure. The State should set
the example in honesty and we trust
that the Board will see that it is
done in this respect.

1t is alledged that the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee will en-
tertain the proposition to reduce the
number Of campaign meetings this
year. 1t is proposed by some to re-
ouire the candidates for State Offices
to attend only one meeting in each
Congressional District. The Colum-
lumbia correspondent Of the Charles
News and Courier is the strongest
advocate of this proposition that
We have yet seen, and this Of itself,
were there no other stronger consid-
erations, would justify its rejection
by the committee. The people have
a right to demand that the candi-
dates seeking their suffrage shall ap-
pear before them and discuss the is
sues OF the day. Only by this method
can the voter form an lntelllg(n NJ ldta
of the ability of the candidate and
his fitness to discharge the duties OF
the Office to which he aspires. The
argument Of the correspondent insup-
port of the proposition that the can
di:e makes one and the same speech
at every campaign meeting and that
speech is published in the papers,
might do under some rcumstances'
but not when the report of the
speech is colored to meet the poht:-
cal views of the editor of the papers
in which the report is published.

face to face.
