fish, red drum .mullets and herring, are
caught in fall and spring, with bluehsn,
Spanish mackerel and various other
varieties, more or less, valued at differ
ent seasons. Many varieties of fish, ana
dromous and stationary, spawn in the
rivers, creeks and eStuaries. Myriads Of
pelagic fish pass to and fro from the
ocean with the diurnal ebb and flood;
fluxes which keep the landlocked waters
pure, and insure the health and welfare
of all who dwell upon their shores.
Trade in this great business continues
to develop and men who engage in it and
give attention to it have prospered. OPP
portunties along many lines i'll the fish
and oyster industry open up to those who
seek and fortunes are in store for those
who put energy into the business. The
shipments are not confined to North Caro-
lima territory nor that contiguous,

ness at New Bern, shipments going as
far east as Boston and as far west as

sells to Trenton, distance of thrty-fiv

All portions of the State are in easy
reach by rail, and to New Bern can come
much of the products of the country for
shipment, whilst the surplus from it's
teeming fields and its waters thick with
fish can be readily shipped to markets
needing them. The city has two lines of
railroads and these tap important sys-
tens. Situated On the Atlantic and North
Carolina, which extends from Morehead
City to Goldsboro, it connects at this
latter point with the Atlantic Coast Line
system and the Southern Railway system,
putting it in close touch with all the
cities of American. Its other line of road
is the Wilmington, New Bern and Nor
folk Railroad extending to Wilmington,
where it connects with the ocean via the
Cape Fear river end the inland country
over the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Seaboard Air Line.
These various routes put New Bern in
close touch with the outside world and
provide it with exceptionally quick and
cheap communication. 1t is this fact that
aids so much in presenting the value of
New Bern to men of enterprise, as the
in. this place can very easily be scattered
abroad over the world.
1T IS A HEALTHY PLACE.
Geographically New Bern has an ideal
situation. 1t is in latiture 80 degrees,
80 minutes north and with the breezes
from Pamlico Sound to temper its sum-
mer, and from the Gulf stream to moder-
ate the winter, all outdoor exercises can
be constantly engaged in for the entire
year. It is healthy place, with an ex
ceedingly low death rate, an excellent
climate and pure drinking water. 1t is
free from severe types of sickness of any
kind, and it is in such a happy situation
that all who observe the simplest laws
of health are apt to be free from a vio-
lent state of any disease.
LABOR AND FUEL
Labor is to be had in abundance. New
Bern and the surrounding country con-

male and female, and these are continu-

THINGS TO CONSIDER.
New Bern is q city abreast with the times
in modern effort. 1t has electric lights,
water-w works, sewerage, graded schools,
free delivery, a good telephone system.
It's public and private buildings are mod
ern and handsome.
The city is attractively laid out in wide
streets and these are we'll shaded so that
in summer there is pleasure in passing
through the city on business bent. Nearly
all the streets are macadamized and as
the country is a level one, it is fine for
driving and bicycling.
The good roads and streets are of ad-
vantage to all the farmers, truckers and
business men, as truck, vegetables, mer-
chandise, wood and coal can be hauled
at minimum figure of cost.
THE BANKING FACILITIES.
The capital stock of the three banks
in New Bern amounts to 1925, 600 and the
surplus and undivided profits, while of
course varying for different years, aggre-
gates $15O,00O.

the Carolinas, one of the first to have in
it Superior courts of Justice. 1t was the
home of Governor Tryon, designated by
the Cherokee Indians as 1.-The Great Wolf
of North Carolina whose rule in
its inception was forced to meet the
stormy times of the odious STAMP Act"
A PLACE WITH A HISTORY.
Living in Wilmington when the Legis-
lature appropriated money for a Gov
ernor's palace Tryon selected New Bern
as the future home of the Governors
and the place at which the palace should
be built. He had in hand about $4,000
and added to this by Selling the school
fund, using the money to erect, out of
material largely brought from England,
palace designed by an English architect
which was in fits day the finest building
in America. This building had as its final
ruling occupant Governor Martin, the last
of the Royal Governors who vacated it
in 1875. In 1889 it was dismantled and
used as a school house, while in 1898 fire
destroyed the main building and right
wing The beautiful edifice occupied the
entire width of George street at its foot,
but now all that remains is the fOunda-
lion walls anu the leIt Wig Ol Tie Dullu-
ing after varied history full OF interest.
NEW BERN OF TODAY
The New Bern of today is the product
of a blending of clements which could but
make their mark: Following the sturdy
pioneers who came with De Graffenreid
came the English followers of the Earl
a. Craven and after these came the
Erench Huguenots and the hardy Scotch
I resbyterians all of these assimilating
and producing today as typical class of
American citizenship as can be found in
any section, the descendants of those
who in 1871 greeted Gen. George Wash
ington and General Green as they visited
this beautiful Southland.
New Bern has never had a boom. In fact
It has never wanted one as its people
have been content with the steady prog
ress which has come with the years. 1t
has shared with the State in the general
growth of the Southland along industi ;ai

Abo, nding in ADVANCES and with OPP
r0rtunities right at hand which have but
to be seized upon to give firm hold
New Bern, n. c., in the eastern portion
OF the State.
With q population of over ten thousand
people it is admirably located in the
coastal region of North Carolina in a tri-
angle formed by the junction of the
Neuse and Trent rivers it's happy situa-
ton on navigable streams leading over
but % miles to the open pathway of the
Atlantic ocean, increasing it's transporta-
tion facilities afforded by lines of rail
road connecting it with the leading
through railroad systems of the South.
THE City of Elms,' as it is appro-
priately termed, is the county seat of
Craven county, whose territory covers
about 900 square miles of fertile lands,
and was founded in 1909 by Baron de
Graffenreid, of the City of Bern, Switzer-
land, the section being known as Chat
tawka to the Indians whose home it was,
but to the early settlers as New Bern,
so named by De Graffenreid in honor of
his native home in far-away Switzer-
land
The young colony had it's vicissitudes
as did the others in America, and the
times gave to it a history full of interest.
In 1745 a general convention of the Bur-
gesses was held in New Bern while
Governor Johnson ruled the colony. In
1749 a printing press was set up by James

the beaut-&y4 charms given to it by it's
old history as well as the Quickening i'm
pulses coming from the new life and the
new blood which is still further urging
it forward to the front in the improve
ments of civilization.
PRIME FACTOR IN SUCCESS.
A determining factor in the success of
any, place is it's geographical situation,
and it's position with regard to trans
portation. In both of these New Bern
has much to boast of and these are sure
indications Of a future greatness which
has but yet seen a first inception.
Taking up first it's situation with its
relation to traffic, there are two points
which present themselves. and the first
of these is that water transportation is
to be had as we'll as rail. A line of
steamers connects with the Norfolk and
Southern Railroad at Elizabeth City, on
the Pasouotank river, and via that road
with the Pennsylvania, Norfolk and
Western, Southern and Chesapeake and
Ohio systems of railways at Norfolk, and
many American and European steamship
lines. A regular steamship line and in
Vulnerable tramp steamers are at the
door of the place, and at Morehead City,
forty miles away there is Beaufort har-
Dor, with water deep enough for vessels
of any draught Up the Neuse river can
come steamers and schooners drawing
seven feet of water at any season of the
year, while the Trent river is navigable

future. New Bern is undeniably the lead
ing market in the State, and We may say
Oh the Atlantic coast, with possibly the
exception of Norfolk, for supplies of fish
of every palatable variety, oysters, CLANS,
terrapin, etc.
No less than eighty varieties of salt
water and fresh water fish have been
shown at New Eern's Great Midwinter
Fair at single exhibit, all taken from
neighborhood waters, and supplemented
by nineteen varieties of oysters, and an
attractive assortment of clans, crabs,
scallops, mussels, terrapins, and crusta-
ceans. Seventy-tive thousand packages
of fish, over three thousand tons, pack
ed on ice, go out from New Bern every
wear. and with these over 100000 bushels
of oysters. Fully 1900 persons are en-
ploycd, and q great number of nets,
boats, seines and vessels. Enormous
quantities Of shad, sea trout or weak
