DECLINE THEM.

Senator Word has introduced bill
to prohibit State officers, Governors,
Judges and Legislators from accept
ing and using Railroad passes. Pub
lie sentiment is strongly in favor Of
Mr.. Words bill. Legislators are
paid mileage by the State and it is a
questionable practice for them to re-
ceive these free passes from Railroads,
when they have to make laws effect
ing Railroads at every session. We
are sure no judge should receive such
consideration. Yet at the same
time it has become a custom that is
looked upon as harmless by Legisla-
tors and judges. We do not believe,
however, that they are corrupted from
a conscientious discharge of duty by
the acceptance of such passes, but il
would present a better appearance to
decline them. At the same time we
do not believe any Legislator would
sell out his principles and convictions
for a railroad pass. We have more
confidence in them than that.

IT WONT DO.

The Perry Journal is in favor of
electing Judges and Solicitors direct
ly at the ballot box by the people.
In our opinion such mode would
be very detrimental to the purity of
the judicial system. If it did not
wholly, it would in part, corrupt the
dispensation OF justice. There could
not be a political scramble for a judge
ship without a good deal of trading
and bargaining. Humanity is full
of bias and the judge emerging from
a hot political canvass as the success
full candidate, on the bench would be
very apt to temper the administration
of law, in inclination, favorable to
to his friends who worked and voted
for him, while his enemies who talk
ed about him and .angered him and
did all they could to compass his de-
feat, would come in for the cold
shoulder and have the prejudice of a
prejudiced judge to encounter in any
cases that might come before him for
adjudication. The people cannot af-
ford to have the judicial bench to be
made the place where votes are sought
and bid for. Keep the judicial er-
mine free from the contamination of
politics. Let the Governor appoint
them and it will tend more to elevate
and keep pure the judiciary than to
precipitate it among the people where
combinations, wire-working and pol
itical corruption will ensue and be-
smirch the judge.

CARP IN GEORGIA RIVERS.

An interesting latter was received
by Hon. J. I. Henderson, Commits
sionsr Of Agriculture. 1t was from
Mr. James q. Paine, of Newton
county, and contained the informa-
ton that carp of all sizes were icing
caught in large quantities in the Al
coya, Yellow and Oconee rivers. Mr..
Paine said that this would seen to
indicate that the carp had spawaed in
those rivers. If this be true, it is
thought that they must have escaped
from some pond. Fishermen in all
parts of the State report that the
streams are rapidly becoming stock
ed with carp, and that those caught
are of a much finer flavor than those
raised in ponds. Constitution.

A very curious operation was per-
formed at the Emergency Hospital,

was the creation of a mouth. A ba-
by had been born with its mouth
closed. Where the mouth should
have been were smooth white skin
and flesh. In other respects the
child seemed normal. An incision
was made across the face Just below
the nose. The jaws were found to
be joined by a membrane, but when
this was severed they moved natur-
ally. 1t is believed that when the
child grows up it will have as good a
