without Colonel Ray receiving numer-
M applications for discharge.
The sufferings of the Cubans In and
aroun Guantanamo ave been very
great. over 1000 rations per day are
issued to them. but many who are I'm
the direst need are unable to come to
the city to receive relief. owing to their
being entirely without clothing. A sup
ply of the latter was received a short

fills the bill.
There is a remedy for this suffering
quite apart from the charity of the
United States government. and that
would be the resumption of operations
by h sugar planters. They. however.
will do nothing until a stable form Of
government Is finally established. with
in a radius Of % miles there is invested
some sl15. 900. 900 In sugar estates. Some
Of the estates have machinery worth
over a million dollars. Yet nearly all
are idle. though II Is time for planting
n going to work.
The planters say that IL they had a
guarantee v for two years from the
American government OF the non-inter-
ference Of the Cubans they would start
up and put nearly 90 900 men TO work.
The trouble Is hat many prominent
Cubans ave threatened that these
properties will be con1scated on ac-
count of the sympathy shown by the
proprietors toward the Spanish govern
ment. and until American protection Is
guaranteed no money will be spent.
Business here Is In a state of stagna-
ton. People are afraid that in a spirit
OF repr1sal the Cuban officials will go
in for wholesale oonfiscation and heavy
fines. Until this question has been
definitely settled the industries Of this
part Of Cuba will remain at a stand
still.

Additional Testimony as to The Merits Of
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.

A gentleman remarked recently that
had a stranger or an outsider come to
North Carolina, and made the cures
among our people that Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy had made, the people
would have been stirred as never before.
Read this and suppose a case:
Eleven years ago l had child that
was delicate from birth, and for six
months she was under constant care OF
the best physician we had in our town.
But his medicine seemed powerless to
control the bowel trouble, which had be-
come chronic dysentery. She also suf-
fered from some aggravated blood trOu-
BILE, which caused large sores and risings
to break out on her body. Oft time
We had several doctors to treat her at
different times, but nothing reached her
case. They would lance these risings,
but as soon as one was cured another
broke ont, and the doctors gave me no
hope of her cure. After she had led
life of agony and suffering for six
months, / was inspired to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. There was a change
for the better in twenty-four hours, it
seemed to check the bowels at once, and
after using few bottles my child was
entirely cured. and has never since had
any sign of the trouble, and is now in
perfect health. A few years after this
/ had two sores to break out on my
ankle, and strange to say did not think
of Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. / was I'M
der the treatment of doctors for three
years, but the sores continued to get
worse until they had eaten to the bone.
| then thought of trying Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Wash and did so, and it is almost
useless to say it soon made u cure.
/ wish / could speak so that every
man, woman and child, in North Caro-
lima could hear me, that | might tell
them what Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
and Wash did for me and mine. advised
one of my friends who had been terri
BILE sufferer for long time, with nurse s
sore mouth. She used the Remedy and
Wash, and it soon made a cure.
/ have recommended it to ever so
many of my friends, for Indigestion, and
other ailments, and have never known
it to fail to cure yet. There Is no medi-
cine equal to it,
