Some days ago two smooth talking/ well dressed men who gave Chicago,. Ill., as their place of residence and) who claim and doubtless are, officers of the Sunshine Film Corporatioh, a concern whose object is to produce and put motion pictures on the mar ket, came to New Bern with a pro position to erect and operate a mo tion picture studio and film finish ing plant here. After they had been treated in true New Bern style by the people of this city, these gentlemen went before the business men of the city at a meet- • ing of the Chamber of Commerce and laid before them their proposition, stating upon what terms they would come to New Bern. At first they wanted the people of this city to put up $200,000, to buy that much ’stock ( .AD TO TESTIFY Says Watoga Lady, “As To What O Cardui Has Done For Me, So As To Help Others Watoga, W.

What is a soul worth, what is the average cost of saving a man from everlasting fire and brimstone? Thes are questions that are rather propitious just at this time, a period when two great revivals are,in prog-- ress in our city and we feel sure that our readers will be interested in following from a recent issue of Durham Sun and ^vhich is to point along this particular line: the the the “It cost the Presbyterians $26.61 to convert a heathen to Christianity last year. To gain 94,500 converts in non-Christian lands $2,525,369 was spent, says a report just made public b y ,the Presbyterian board of Foreign Missions. “This sum, however, includes edu cational work in foreign lands, main tenance of hospitals and dispensaries, the purchase and repair of buildings and equipment. “The number of converts is known, but no statistics are given of the number of minds brightened in mis sion schools nor of the lives saved in hospitals. “Irrespective of the great good ac complished along these more mater ial paths, it is only, fair to admit that $26.61 is mighty cheap for saving a riches for the city, of scores of new people'being brought here and of the great advertising feature that it would prove to be to New Bern and t/he surrounding section but their ef forts did not seem to have the desir ed effect. After waiting around a day or two these gentlemen departed for New York, giving out an interview before leaving that they intended to locate here, whether or not the citizens put one red penny into the venture. ■ We do not believe that the gentle men who came to New Bern intended to work one of Get-Rich-Quick Wall ingford’s schemes on our people but, rather, that they were simply pro moters who had a good scheme up their sleeve and were willing to put it into effect if New Bernians would put up the cash to carry 1 on opera tions. However, there are too many other enterprises into which our peo ple can put their money that have a more substantial appearance than a moving picture studio and for the present we will lay aside all thoughts of securing such. . . . two weeks, and was so weakening, and my health was awful.

Why, in this Christian Ian many a man spends more than that i 3 one evening sending his soul to per dition!'’ It is as the Sun says, $26.61 is a mighty small price to pay for grasp ing a man’s soul from the clutches of the devil but many have been' lost for amounts smaller than that. The saving of a soul cannot be es timated in dollars or cents, no more than can the hairs on ones head be counted but the illustration given above is timely regardless of this for it shows that the great work of broadcasting the Word is being car ried on at a mighty small cost and it is up to the enlightened people of the United States of America to do their part toward furthering it. THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE IS ON THE JOB. Up until a year or so ago it generally believed that Germany was had the greatest secret service in the world and there is no denial of the fact that this particular department of the imperial government was right "up to snuff, so to speak but events of the past twelve months have shown beyond a question of a doubt, that the secret service United States world. Heretofore service men department of the is the best in the Uncle Sam’s ■ secret have not been given News in Rhyme ^, t^ /5B/^ Once again has New Bern town - a chance to make a showing Masonic hosts have gathered here to constitute their temple. HELPING THE RED CROSS HELP UNCLE SAM. A French soldier who had. been wounded in one of he great battles with the Germans on the French front, tells a wonderful story of the great work that the Red Cross is do ing in this war, a story that should touch the hearts of every true Ameri can and which should cause him to delve in his pockets/ and give of his wealth toward helping this society carry on its work of mercy. . This man had been shot down in battle early one morning. A nasty wound in his body racked him with pain and as he lay in a shell hole all during the day with the rays of the sun beating down upon him in all their fierceness, he wished a thou sand time s that he was dead. Late in the afternoon the bombard ment ceased, but the poor fellow was so racked with pain and scourged by fever that he cared little -whether or not the shells were falling or whether the guns had ceased tp roar. Finally away off in the distance he saw a Red Cross ambulance while the men who were in charge of it were busily en gaged in picking up the wounded pre paratory to carrying them to the base hospital. It seemed hours before they reach ed him, but finally he was placed in the vehicle and carried to a point back of the firing line where Red enough latitude in which to do their work and in hundreds of cases their revelations were not given to the public but in the uncovering of Ger man intrigue they have been given all the latitude that they needed and their findings have been made public and it ift really wonderful how they have managed to uncover so much dirty work. It is said that when the govern ment goes out after an evil-doer that the latter might as well make up his mind that he is doomed to be caught, sooner or later and to this might be added the fact that when the secret service men of the United States start out to find out about a certain thing that they will bring home the bacon. THIRTY’ YEARS AGO TODAY (September 26, 1887) Eggs have advanced to fifteen cents per dozen, wholesale. The two steam heaters were tried at Hotel Albert yesterday and work ed’ alright. ■ The Sally Ann White, colored, that was sentenced to jail a few days ago by Justice E. G. Hill, was formerly Sally Ann Fisher, and is not of sound mind, we have been informed. The services at the M. E. church will continue through the week, be ginning at 8 o’clock every night. The sermons by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Crawford, are strong and earnest and good crowds to hear him. The farmers near Croatan will have a barbecue on Thursday, the 29th. That is right. If the crop is short this year, meet together, eat barbecue and talk it over in a good humor, and resolve to mend your licks next year. On Sunday morning, the 25th,, the thermometer at Mr. John Lane’s res idence registered 42. Early risers saw frost which disappeared at sun rise. This is the earliest front in this section in many years. It was not heavy enough, however, to do any material damage to late crops. Daily meetings are being held this week in the Presbyterian church. Services this afternoon at 5 o’clock. The public is cordially invited to at tend. We have just turned out from our job department a pamphlet of thir ty-two pages issued by Hotel Albert. It gives a description of the hotel, the different routes of travel to New Berne, general remarks about East ern North Carolina; New Berne as a health resort, Cedar Grove and National .Cemeteries, hunting, fish ing, etc., and a short historical sketch of New Berne.

Today is a red letter occasion with the Shriners of New Bern and the surrounding section for it marks the constitution of Sudan Temple of the Mystic Shrine, making it a full fledg ed temple instead of one that might be termed in its swaddling clothes. It was only a few months ago that Dr. J. F. Rhem, the daddy of Sudan, and a few others, journeyed to a western city and there secured the dispensation for Sudan. That marked the' beginning of a long period of jollification for the Masons of New- Bern and all over this part of the state for after many weary years of waiting their dearest hope had been realized.. The /constitution today of Sudan temple i s to be followed soon by the erection of a beautiful building here and not until then will the fullest hopes of the Shriners who are mem bers ol the temple, bo completely realized. Cross physicians dressed his'wounds and attended to his wants and Within a few weeks eh had recovered and was able to return to hi s comrades. The Red Cross is the angel of mercy on the battlefields. Without it war would indeed be more frightful than is the case at the present time and suffering would be untold and its work must be carried on. It is with, a feeling of pride that we have announced that the farmers of Craven county are donating a part of their crop of tobacco to the society. We hope that they will keep the good work up for every pound of tobacco donated to this society; means that just that much more can be done to relieve the suffering of some wound ed soldier, probably the suffering oi the son of the man who made the do- nation. line left line left a cargo The Eagle of the E.
