It says: "It strikes us that a judge who can be corrupted by a railroad pass can be corrupted without it." That is well said. If the judges in this State accept and use these passes it is not their fault but the fault of the people The jftdges of the Superior Court ride the entire State, making the circuit in four years. They get but $2,500 a year and out of this must support their families and paall of their individ ual expenses. Ajd yet, none but the best, lawyers ma aspire to judgeships. Men who make at home all of the way from $2,500 to double or treble that amount are expected to give it up and take the minimum and out of this pay their own w'ay everywhere.

Oysters from the Hooks. Mr. G. Or. Aman had in store a day or wo ago a small lot of oysters that came from a new ground. They were taken from fthe rocks, at old New Inlet, and were gathered on the bay side, at dead low water. Mr Aman says they were the finest oysters he has seen here this season. It may be that there are some large possibilities there in the future in the way of a cultivation of ovsters. The sheet of water known as the bay was simply formerly the inlet and extends from the rocks, on the river, to the bar at the mouth of the inlet. Death of An Esthnuble Lady. We greatly regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Nannie Burr, wife of Mi. HenryfA. Burr. The sad event occurred at the family residence here at half-past 8 o'clock this morn ing, Mrs. Burr has been in feeble health for some time past - hut only within the past few weeks has any immediate danger been apprehend ed. She was the daifghter of the late Levi A. Hart and was a native of this city. She was a charming lady in every relation of life, ad mired and beloved of all who knew her. For many years past she has been a member of.St. James'Church and the funeral services will take place there to morrdw at an hour to he announced in the morning papers, The Jotal Telegraph. Mr. D. C. Allen, of Bladen county, was In the city to day, and from hiiti we learn that . the Postal Tele graph n'ires are' making rapid pro gress iri this direction. The ppjls are up and the wires strung to with in 22 or 23 miles of the city. A few days w;ili find them atCronly, where they will have to cross the Western Union wires. They will follow the county road down to Wilmington and in doing this it will be neces sary to cross the Western Union wires a number of times, as the C. C. B. U. and the county road occa sionally crossr each other. The West, ern Union people do not want them to eross bu cannot help them selves, as it is understood that while brie wire may not go under the other there is ho law to prevent it from going above it and the Postal peo ple say that no matter how high the Western Union wires mky run they will manage to go a little higher still. There isn't much of a right of way required for a telegraph line land as a rule the owners of the land have allowed the poles to be planted and the wires to be strung. Some few have objected, however, and a few suits .may result. The wires may be expected here by the first xf February, and perhaps somewhat sooner. . - '- - The World Moves !

Bladen Cannty Meat. linderstaiid that some t few of the farmers in the lower part of Bladen county have lost" a part of their meat by the. failure to cure. (caused by the warm ' weather, but ftS a general thing such of the meat as has been killed has been saved, Wa hr;l fhi mnmi-n f.c:rmauin m in this line that we have never heard of before. It is said that the bare earth, when the meat is. laid upon it, will absorb much of the anrmalTieat and that it will also cure slightly tainted or "bet" meat when tried in time. This is a simple expedient and one easily tried. , "Age cannot wither it nor custom stalto its lufinite varietv.''
