Governor Shaves Himself And
Now Must Pick Barbers
Hard Job For Governor Gardner,
Minus Experience, To Name
Barber Commission.
The hardest Job Governor O Max
Gardner now has ahead of him is
to appoint tlie state barbers com
mission, as authorized by the 1929
general assembly, the Governor
states
"Barbcring is one business—or
should I say profession—that 1
know very little about," the gover
nor said, "As a result I am rather
at a losft to know just how to go
about appointing this new com
mission. But I guess I can get it
done some way ."
When asked if the new barber
law—or should we say "tonson.il
statute"—applied to beauty par
lors and operatives, and whether 11
so a woman might be appointed to
this board of examiners. Governor
Gardner said that he could not say
as he had not yet investigated this
new law.
The governor stated further
that he did not have much cause to
visit a barber shop very often since
he shaves himself, and since he has
very little hirsute adornment upon
his cranium.
"And I never go to a barbership
to have my hands manicured." he
He laughingly recalled that In a
general assembly several years ago
one of the members had been de
feated tor reelection because his
opponent had told of teeing him
in a barber shop in Raleigh getting
a manicure when he was here dur
ing the legislature. *
"The people in his county evi
dently disapprove of men who went
to barber shops to get their fingers
picked as they expressed it. so
they, defeated him and elected his j
opponent who circulated the story".1
the governor said,
j This was “it good many years ago.!
the governor added, declaring that i
.he did uoi believe this would have
much weight in a political campaign
! now.

Hits. Flay Cherryvllle
Tuesday.

home game of the year here Friday
afternoon to the strong Kings
Mountain team by a 4-3 score.
The local lads scored three runs

seemed as if it would be a slug
lost. But from the point on "Lefty'’
Hughes, veteran Kings Mountain
hurlrr, held the Morrlsmen at his
mercy, his left-hand slants com
pletely checking the hitting of the
Shelby team of left-hand sluggers.
In the sixth inning three hits, two
errors, and a napping umpire gave
the visitors the one-run margin
needed to win the game.
The locals play Cherryville in
Chcrryville tomorrow.
SIT YOUR MO
OF CHEWING GUM
SAYS DR. PARKER
“Shift your wad of sum," says
Dr. Wm. l’arker, Elizabeth City
dentist in reply to the question,
“Does the chewing gum habit
make for lopsided faces.” There
has been considerable agitation
in denial circles in this country
recently and one dental auth
ity says that the chewing gum
habit is making lopsided faces.
“I have seen such cases,” said Dr.
Parker, 'due to improper chewing
habits. People who chew on one
side of their mouths only, whether
gum or food, over develop the
muscles or. that side of the face
while the muscles on the other side
atrophy. Lack of facial symmetry
results in all such cases.
Improper dentistry to a great or
less extent. Dr. Parker said, is re
sponsible along with neglect of den
tal attention tor facial abnormali
ties.
“Individuals do not chew exclu
sively on one side for no reason at
all.” Dr. Parker explained. "They
chew on the side where mastication
is managed most effectively. Loss of
teeth or faulty restorations cause
them to favor one side of the jaws.
Result, there is an enlargement of
the muscle tissue on one side of the
face and eventually the facial con
tour is affected.
“Poorly fitted artificial teeth pro
duce the typical expression of sad
ness with dropping mouth marked
by vertical lines.
“Facial contours cannot be mold
ed by the cosmetician if the muscles
are deflected and the bony frame
work is abnormal due to improper
dentures. Deflection of the muscles
due to the loss of teeth or surgical
operations are the wearing of poorly
dentures is fatal to the characteris
tic expression of the individual and
in some cases causes repulsive de
formities.”
Thought the country was going to
be dry after the last election? Well,
it seems that Alabama is at least
pretty wet.

FSEIK SILLS MUSE
Bf LEGISLATURE
IN MEET SECENTIV
I
Laying aside the usual run of
session and freak resolutions—
this session there was one to
move the Capitol to Sandy
.Mush township on the Bun
combe-Madlson county line—
the strangest piece of legislation
put through the 1929 assembly es
tablished the parentage of a
woman born 129 years ago.
The bill was passed despite the
fact that that legislative veteran^
Judge Winston, told the house in no'
uncertain terms that it was making
something of an ass of itself by go
ing about adjusting family trees, and
that one of Its predecessors had at
tempted to make Cherokee Indians
out of the Croatans of Robeson
county, so that they might receive
a government bounty for Indian
lands and the U. S. supreme court
said it was all so much piffle—
that the North Carolina legislature
couldn't fix anybody's ancestry.
But the strange case of Kitty
Leach. The bill got through under a
harmless title and was called back
to be explained. It developed that
some descendants of the said Kitty
Leach now live in North Carolina
and occasionally they are embar
rassed with the suggesliem of ne
gro blood.
Kitty Leach, the legislature now
has decreed, was a full-blooded Mo
hawk Indian, born in 1800—died in
1867 or thereabouts. The bill went
ahead to fix the whole family tree
down to the present despite the fact
that not one of the assemblymen
had seen even a photograph of the
woman, dead these 60 years, whom
they solemnly declared to be a Mo
hawk Indian.
The Kitty Leach bill was passed,
but a less kind fate befell many of
the other freak measures.
A bill that would have required
the stamping of the date of laying
on all fresh eggs was lost in com
mittee; a bill that proposed annual
vaccination of all dogs against ra
j bies was lost in a thunder of ‘‘Noes";
ja bill entitled "To provide for the
; Punishment of Bad Checks" w as
passed, but not until Its title had
been changed to shift the punish
ment to the maker and not the
check.
Early in the session there was a
bill introduced to "Protect Married
Women from the Slanders of Hus
bands" that never reached the floor.
One bill that bore all the ear
marks of a freak and nearly got
killed on that account was explain
ed as a most meritorious measure
and passed.
It permits blind preachers to ride
on buses without payment of fare.
The explanation was that it did
not require bus companies to haul
them, but simply allowed them to
if they wished without violation
corporation commission regulations.
The bill was passed to take care
of an individual case wherein a bus
company In the Piedmont wished
to accommodate a blind preacher by
letting him ride for nothing between
his various churches.
As a whole the freak bill crop of
the 1929 general assembly was not
as large as that of some of its pre
decessors.
