A good point is made by the Wel
don News on the use, by Judges of
the Superior Court of railroad passer.
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.

j The high position attained and
the universal acceptance and ap
proval of the pleasant liquid fruit
excellent laxative known, illustrate
the value of the qualities on which
its success js based and are abuhd
iantly gratifying to the California
Fig Syrup Company. .
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. . - '- -

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

cure slightly tainted or "bet" meat
when tried in time. This is a simple
expedient and one easily tried. ,
