TABERNACLE REVIVAL DRAWS LAItGE CROWDS. Will Continue All Next Week Interest Manifest. -Much Pastor Allen Shuler, of the Baptist Tabernacle preached to another large congregation again last night. His text -was: "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him," 2 Cor. 5:21. The preacher defined sin; drew a picture of gin; showed that first par ents were deceived by sin: that 8a- tan Is still carrying on his campaign of deception: that the seat of sin and unbelief Is In 'the heart; that no man can-be "good-hearted," unless his heart is right -with God, and clos 4 this " part of his -discourse with an appeal "Be not deceived; God Is -not., mocked,, for .wnatsoever - a man Mowette thai, shall.be also 'nap.

I EXPRESSIONS ON "SPECIAL am coorf W4 publish below a letter from Hon. James A. Bryan, of this city, who is too well known to need any introduction from U3. Mr. Bryan was mayor of New Bern two years ago, has served as Chairman Board of County Commission ers of this County, as well as represented the County in the State Legislature. He is acquainted with the County Government and his opinion regarding the es tablishment of a "Special Court for Craven County" will no doubt be read with interest by the people of this county: Editor New Bern SUN: Dear Sir: Replying to your queries as to my opinion about the establishment of a Special Court for the County of Craven, I beg to say that I am un qualifiedly opposed to it and heartily endorse the views of the various members of the last and present Board of County Commissioners and others, especially those of the City Attorney, the Hon. W. D. Mclver, which you have already published. If I could see any way in which it would reduce the expenses of the County I would gladly endorse it, but as I cannot Ijshall vote AGAINST it and hope the good people of the County will do likewise. If it is the desire to lighten the burdens of the people it seems to me that many things claimed for the special court can be better accomplished by enlarging the jur isdiction of the Mayor and conferring upon him the same power that would be exercised by the Court. We pay him a salary of $1,000 per year and will have to pay him the same if the Court is established. That being so, why should we take the business from him and turn it over to a Special Court at an additional cost of $2,400.00 per year? I can see nothing but ad ditional expense attending the establishment of this Court and I cannot believe that our people wish to create any more unnecessary office-holders for Craven County to do what can be done and better done by the Mayor of the city and for ONE-THIRD THE COST. I shall therefore, as I have said, vote AGAINST it my self, and hope those who have the interest of the coun ty at heart will do the same. - . Respectfully, JAMES A. BRYAN. MR. O.G.DUNN, New Bern, N. C, Dear Sir: Yours of 25th instant to hand and in reply will Bay that I think that the people of Bridge ton are ALL AGAINST the "Special County Court." Of course there may be a few who favor it, but I think ALL ARE AGAINST IT. Respectfully, . . N. C. BROOKS, ' Mayor Bridgeton. Marine Sews.

Harry Moncrlef, of Clayton, had a hair raising escape from death while at tempting to board a moving electric train from the wrong side.
