THE GOVERNORS FAVOR CUBA.

The New York Journal wired this
question to the Governors of all the
States:
"As the President of the United States
is about to submit a grave message on
the Cuban question to the government OIL
Snain. it is important to show that there
is no division of sentiment among the
American people WEI you kindly tele-
graph a message to the Journal showing
the sentiment of the people of your State
on this question:"
Nearly all the answers state that the
people are unanimous in supporting the
government in taking stand in Cuba.
We print two replies:
1.-The overwhelming sentiment in this
State condemns the reported atrocities
of Weyler and the native sympathles
Of our people are enlisted in the Cuban
cause. North Carolina was the first
State to assert her independence of the
mother country, and it has always been
a characteristic of her citizens to resist
the oppressor and to aid the oppressed.
Our neutrality laws have been grossly
perverted in the interests of Spain.
DANIEL L. RUSSELL.
Governor of North Carolina"
81 think it is the general sentiment of
the people of Alabama that the Ameri-
can government has had enough of Cleve-
landsm in every manner, shape and
form. including his dealing with Cuba.
and that it is about time for the Federal
government to express the sentiment de-
clared in the conventions of both parties
in respect to the independence of Cuba.

til friend advised me to try Paine

the compound, and I am more than proud

l consider Paine's celery compound the
best remedy manufactured, and L most
heartily recommend it to suffering hui
mainly the world over. Sincerely yours,
James S. Mccarthy.
Sleeplessness is the most common, as
well as the most alarming, ailment a
mong those who toll with their brains
Patient after patient repeats the same
story. He goes to bed at the usual hour,
falls off to sleep very much as usual,
but, instead of sleeping through the
whole night, wakes about three or earlier

compound and see how soon insomnia
gives way to sound, refreshing sleep.
The best remedy in the world is not
too much for any one to insist on get
ting. Every one, whether sick or well,
must know the immense good Paine's
celery compound has done and is doing,
tired, half-sick, sleepless men and women
all over the country.
The vague, half-hearted attempt so
many people make to get rid of poor
health is pitiable. rheumatism, head
aches, neuralgia, kidney troubles, skin
diseases and dyspepsia may be wholly ex~
terminated from the system, never TO
bother one again, if one will but cleanse
the blood and regulate the nerves with
Paine's celery compound.
Get out of dependency, the ''blues,
or whatever name you give to these at
tacSs of nervous depression. Don't nope
around half sick. Persons who think that
they are fairly well and "only little tir-
ed need just the toning up and refresh
ing that Paine's celery compound I'M
doubtedly gives. Nothing could be more
suicidal than for sickly men and women
to shut their eyes to the great opportuni-
ties offered by Paine's celery compound
No remedy ever called forth such vigor-
Gus testimonials and decided opinions
from every class of men and women.

4 New Point In Insurance.

The ingenuity of some insurance con- panies ill devising ways and means fo1 evading responsibility is equaled by nothing on earth. A claim was recently made against an accident insurance con- pany for indemnity by physician who had met with an injury in very pecul- far fashion. He had been i'll as the re- suit of an accident received some time previous, but was partly recovered. While driving he was seized with a spasm, and great exhaustion Overcame him. He stopped his horse and proceed ed to administer hypodermic injection of some powerful stimulant to which he resorted i'll such emergencies. Just as he was about to insert the needle his horse started. The needle was driven deep into the flesh, infiicting 8 severe and painful injury. He sued for indem- nifty, he Icing disabled for 22 weeks. The judge dismissed the complaint on the ground that the injury was not caused through external violent and a"- cIdental means m the intent ana pur- pose of the policy This decision will strike the average thinking individual as somewhat peculiar. If a mishap due to the sudden starting of horse is not an accident, it might be interesting to know how the word could be defined. New York Ledger
