Isaac Hughes, of New Bern.

Especial to News and Observer
New Bern, n. c., May 27.-Isaac
Hughes, the son of DR.. Frank Hughes
was barely saved from death when
interference came in a fight with Aus
tin HILL a negro fireman at Brooks
steam laundry. The boy was seriously
cut i'm the neck, near the jugular vein,
the escape from death being close.
The trouble was about boat which
the boy owned, but which Hill claimed
and had used. While Isaac Hughes
was painting the boat Hill interfered
and during the controversy called the
boy a d. liar, and ran off with Isaac
Hughes after him, the negro escaping
into the laundry. Later in the evening
Isaac saw the negro and the trouble
was renewed, the negro using an open
knife, with which he was whiting
wood. The negro was in frenzy and
would have murdered the boy but that
John Williams, a restaurant keeper,
rushed in and pushed the negro into
the laundry He got Ratchet, but
Williams kept him in the laundry.
Later he escaped. The community
was aroused by the deed and Hill, an
ugly negro, would have received rough
treatment if caught at once. Young
Hughes is getting along nicely, though
he had a narrow escape.

In Memoriam James Boylan.

To where, beyond the breakers there
is peace, passed on Sunday morning
last the soul of James Boylan, beloved
son of William Montfort Boylan and
Mary Kinsey, his wife.
And now hath God given pause to a
heart most genuinely happy in sharing
with others it's joy; to a quick hand
neer closed to call of need in friend
in kith or kin. Warm-harted, impui-
sive, sympathetic, he Won love ana
gave much love, and to his tempera-
ment to joy akin sore puzzled ana
much troubled by this worlds mystic
ries of sorrow and suffering, the way
was long, the heights upon whose
crest shone the longed-for light SOFT
as the memory of dear hands loved
and lost-hand of attainment
But the night is passed-the storm
and stress of life is done-the dawn
breaks, and with the dawn dear be-
yond the memory of earth's happiest
days-sw eeter, clearer far than the
call of love and longing unutterable,
rings the old glad welcome home.

Sores All Over Face and Body =

CURED BY CUTlCURA
IN ONE MONTH

A grateful mother, in the following
letter, tells of another of those mar
ve1ous cures by Cuticura: "When
my baby was four months old her
skin broke out with humor. 1 took
her to a doctor, who said it was
eczema. He gave me medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and body
were so covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell
off. Then it itched so she could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, first
bathing her in warm water with the
Soap, and then spreading on the ONT
ment with soft cloths. l saw change
in a week. The sores began to heal,
and she could sleep at night, and in
one month she had not one sore on
her face or body. Any mother hav-
ing children with eczema or humors
will find a friend in Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Mary
Sanders, 7o9 Spring ST., Camden, NJ,
Aug. IA, 1904"
The foregoing statement justifes
the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment afford instant
relief, and permit sleep for baby and
rest for tired mothers, and points to
a speedy, permanent, and economical
cure, when all else fails, in the most
