Notice of this as -well as a number of other promotionshas been sent' eu' from here In the form of a circular ia- sued from the office of General Freight Agent J. W. Perrin. In addition to the promotions, there is announced the creation of one new office that of assistant general freight sgant. W. G. Pulliam waa appointed to the position. Before his promotion he waa division freight agent In ele vating him to his new position his old office was abolished. A number of other men have been promoted from different positions to the office of gen eral freight agent, one for each State through which the Atlantic Coast Line rone.; ' W. E Renneaker, it Is announced. will be promoted from the position, of division freight agent of Charleston, C, to the general agent,a office of that State, with headquarters at Char leston.

' ""There NoW.x - A layman visiting the shop of the Norf ollaSoothf ra Railway Company in tblf ,.eity Jwould douoJess forai th opinion that it was ths maia and only bop which the company owned. On every hand can be seen passengers cars freight care, .'trucks and Jocomotlves which are either being repaired or are in the course of construction. The shop here is well equipped with machinery and claims to have the best mechanics in the State, so that all of the moat particular work is sent here. Especially is this true in the case of the passenger cats wmca are to be con- atruetedor rebuilt; Several weeka ate Consumed m the conatructton of one of these coaches but when it is finally completed and placed on the Jine it equals the output of any car shops in the country. Each week a number of freight cars are damaged in some way. either in wrecka or on other shifting yards, Thse are brought here and repaired and again placed in commission. Locomotives can be built entirely ia the local shops but the work on these is msinly con tin ed to rebuilding and repairing the loco motives purchased from the makers. Just at present a large f orce of me chanics are employed at the shops, but at times the force is decreased owing to the fact that the amount of work Blackens. Then again a large number than at present is employed. PLENTY OE WORK TO BE BAD HERE There ia no necessity of anyone being idle in New Bern, thst is if thy really want to work. A local manufacturer stated yesterday that be could use a large number of white men and boya at any time and in fact was really in need of them. In addition to this plant there are a number of others whose force of assist snts is inadequate. Of course the wages paid to beginners are not fabul ous but are enough to support them in a modest way. Revenue Officers Active Revenue offlcerj have been ' 'meand ering around rather promiscousiy dur ing the paat few days but up to. the present time have failed to locate any violators of the Internal Revenue law. The heavy aentensea imposed upon the offenders at the last term of both the Federal and Superior Court have evi dently had a tendency to decrease the number of "tigers" and to make those few now in business extremely wary. Reserves to Cruise Sometime duriog the next few weeks ths. local brigade of Naval Reserves will go on their annual cruise which will last about ten daysi The cruise was to have been taken during the month of July but owing to the f act tiat their boat, the Elfrteda, is undergoing repairs at Elisabeth City, the date was" post poned.
