In six months I had tried three eictors, but did not get any better. It was on my body and on my feet so thick thut I could hardly put a pin on me with out touching ec zema. Mv face was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to another doctor. lie asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura; He said that was a very . good thing, but that he thought that my face would be marked for life. But Cu ticura did its work and my face is Dow fust as clear as it ever was. "My brother-in-law told me about , the wonderful Cuticura remedies. j I took his advice and got the Ointment, Soap, and Resolvent. I washed with the Cuticura, Soap and then applied the Ointment, and took Cuticura Resolvent as directed. In a short tune my face began to get better, and when I had taken one bottle of Besolvent I could brush the scales off my face like a powder. When I had taken four bottles my face was as clear as ever. "I told all my friends about my remarkable cure. I feel so thankful I want everybody far and wide to know what Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema, (signed) Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrier Floce, Camden, N. J., April 25, 1905."

No scene can be compared with it un less it be during the war and even those stirring times were paralled for the brief period on Sunday morning in which this story is concerned. It was in the early morning hours and the city lay wrapped in slumber little dreaming of the fearful event of which they le u-ned later. It was a sad incident in itself but it is fraught with moral and lesson that perhaps may be heeded by law makers and law dispensers. The public is familiar with tacts oi the terrible crime of the negro John Moore on hut Friday. His vicious and unprovoked attack on - an estimable woman, the wife of the postmaster, I . . . ...I did going. It was during all this that the trage dy was beinir enacted. - The men worked fast 'and with the greatest sys tem. While efforts were being made to check them, they had got to the Neuse river bridge with- Moore, and bung him to the iron beam on the draw It is believed that life . was extinct be fore the party got to the bridge arid that the shots which were heard were those made by the party and which really caused death. There were thir teen bullet boles found on his body. Th body suspended from the further end of the draw and therefore was out side of the city limits. It is said that it was the intentions of the lynchers to take Moor over to Bridge ton and hang him to tree but that they were afraid of being overtaken by the sheriff 's men and captured.

Such an attact arouses not only a man's family and relatives, but it excites the whole community, and no one who has a spark of brother-; ly love can See an act of cruelty done without a burning desire for vengeance or in the lack of Justice to make jus tice peremptory and Immediate. Sunday morning about half past one, sheriff Biddle had received word at his home over the phone that a mob was being formed to take' Moore out of jail and lynch him. ' Acting upon this ad vice he hurried down to" the court house only to be confronted on the street by a man having his face covered with a white cloth who held him up; at the point of a revolver. : Mr. Biddle began to remonstrate with him but the man said: "Mr. Biddle, 1 Hks you and mean you no barm," but It you take another step 111 kill yoa. ' I want the keys to the JaiL We are going' to get Moore and must hwe the keys, I meuevery word I say." Sheriff Biddle told him that he didn't have the keys, that Jailer William had the .keys; a guard was put over the sheriff while Mr. Williams was called out and mad to hold up hi hands while his pocket wer Marched. . The desired keys were found and thenceforth ths men, a small number went into th Jail and took Moore out.. In th meantime ofnat Lon . Bryan and : constable Dwigh.'

J. Collinn, Prea. . Mrs, M. m"irlir, Aut Ss Sunday and naturally the trend "of 'all conversation was toward the - subject The pastor of the churches spoke of the unfortunate affair either in their sermons, in remarks independent of their sermons or they mentioned, it in their prayer..; One minister,. Rev.' G. T. Adams spoke briefly on -the matter stating that he would have more to say on the subject later. - They were united in the belief that : such events were the result of , insufficient and loosely administered laws. They ex pressed themselves as regarding the continuance of such acts that as long as criminals are not dealt with severe ly just so long are we to have these lynching. - Coincident with these per tinent and sensible remarks it was freely stated on the 'Street that if Moore had been placed under a much heavier bond or had been placed in jail without bond he would never have been lynched. A fact worthy of mention at this time Is the attitude of the colored race toward this affair. A great many of the best known and respected negroes approved of the lynching, admitting freely that there must be more atten tion paid to the criminal negro. The respectable colored people complain that they are imposed on by the lawless class of their race because the measure of confidence which is justly their due is denied them;-- thus impeding their usefulness to a great extent. They would approve of more stringent laws against criminals and more active en forcement ef thesame. DEMANDS EXAMINATION. ttmvatea: Am to the identity of the lynchers there are many theories, but there are none who are positively known or, if they ar known, the person so ac quainted are keeping quiet. It to said that th perpetrator were 'all farmer or resident of Clark, others said that there was a good sprinkling of citizens Wed him out, in th mob, other that they were ex clusively Pamlico countyite,and others' swor they were bold,' bad men from Carteret county.; It is. not probable that they will, over b known to the public at large unless the grand jury's Investigation find them out, ,' ' . Th body hung on the bridg for two hour and th pise was th resort of many morbid persons who viewed the remain and got souvenir. , Several prominent'' citizen recognising the gross Impropriety of a having the body suspended - thus longer ; into th day aroused coroner Jones and he empan elled a jury and after th remain were viewed by them to meet th require ment of th law he ordered the body to b cut down and turned over to the county authorities. ! It was placed In th jail corridor to await farther inves tigation by the jury. , ORGANIZATION AND VERDICT, , At noon Sunday,- th following' jury was tworn In by Coroner RV D. V. Jones, C.

Special to Journal: Raleigh, N. C, August 28. The first information Governor Glenn had of the lynching at New Bern, was at noon in newspaper. He wrote the following letter to Solicitor L. I. Moore: "My attent'on has just been called to lynch ing of John Moore, negro, at New Bern. I know nothing about facts or circum stances but know it is a most deplorable affair, one that should be conJbmnd by every citizen of the State, as such conduct casts blot, not only on a commu nity where ithappens but on the whole State. I have held myself ready at all times in such emergencies to have specialterms of court, in order that speedy justice might be meted out to criminal and there is no excuse for any mob taking law in its hands and com' mitting the detestable crime of lynch ing. Sometimes a. mob, carried away by frenzy on account of some unnama ble crime, while not excused, is not s terribly condemned, but what excuse can be rendered for taking of man who had not committed a crime of this nature, and could have been punished by the courts of this State, and without law of lentence take his life? Sheriff Biddle and deputy sheriff Williams of Craven county ought to be able to fur nish you names of this mob. I there fore ask you to go to th scene at once and mak a thorough examination, to th end that the perpetrators of this erfm can be brought to Justlc. Law and order and good nam of our Stat demand a moat searching investigation and punishment of th guilty persons, and I feel that in you the State ha an officer who will M that " no tonl left unturned to do what Is right and just.
