"After I was married, I
found myself in a weak,

my back, which was so
weak it hurt me to get up

"A friend of mine, see

Fallston Praises
Sportsmanship In
Cage Tournament
Prof. Gary and Coach Dellinger
Praise Square Play. Sports To
Higher Level.
Praise for the sportsmanship and
square play of Shelby and other
teams met in the county tournament
was sent to the Shelby coaches Sat
urday by Prof. W. R. Gary, of the
Fallston school, by Coach Hal Del
linger and the Fallston team.
Fallston lost to Shelby Friday
night in the semi-final round of the
tournament, but remained a threat
for honors due to the remarkable
play of Capt. W. Clay.
The lettec from the Fallston prin
cipal and coach follows:
“There are no pangs of defeat in
Fallston where true sportsmanship
is enthroned. There are no alibis,
and to the victor belongs the spoils.
It may be due to personal bias, but
I feel that the players on your team
showed more fortitude and ability
than they did in any other game in
this tournament. The Lattimore
score was closer, but Shelby knew
what the job was wliep that game
began. The temptation to take it
easier against us would have been
natural as well as fatal. Every Shel
by player is to be congratulated on
putting in thirty-two minutes of
consecration to the task instead of
becoming careless against a team
that was not supposed to have a
chance. We believe too that the cali
ber of sportsmanship shown by our
opponents has not been equalled this
year. We appreciate that.
“I feel no pangs of defeat because
five boys from our school went out
there to win, and they did as far as
I am concerned, because they did
everything they were asked to do,
and that was to play from whistle to
whistle like men. Psychology has
hurt us in every game that we have
played with your team heretofore.
We tried to reverse the psychologi
cal effect last night by plugging
away until your team cracked under
the strain. At one stage of the game
there were signs of it. but there is
where Shelby came through, and
that is why it was the greatest
game of the tournament.
"The many compliments paid our
boys by your teachers, players and
coaches made us feel that our pro
cedure in teaching tire game has not
been In vein. High spots In sports

They hear these stories wound about
the illustrious Gipp, Fund, McMillin,
and Booth tribe. There is nothing of
the backwoods in our code. Captain
Clay lias seen the gallant Booth go
down in defeat while his slower team
mates could not withstand the split
second charging of a dynamic Geor
gia line* He has been able to carry
the same spirit over to his team
mates that Yale showed when their
band played "Hall Georgia," after
losing the game.
"I am more interested in the lift
ing of sports in Cleveland county to
a higher plane than I am in who
gets cups. I feel that our two teams
played the kind of game that de
serves more than ordinary mention,
because I believe these two set an
example of just, ho wthe game ol
basketball should be played. When
the rest learn how to follow that
example, there will be an end of
alibis, hard feelings, and other ex
hibitions of primitive feelings.”

For washing the comb and brush
soap and warm water can be used
You may use a teaspoonful of am

usa this Instead of soap and water
When they have been cleaned rinse
the brush and comb in fresh water
and place them in the sun to dry.
In selecting toilet articles you need
not purchase the most expensive
But bo sure that the comb has
smooth, strong teeth and that the
bristles of the brush are rather wide

I am glad to see that the fine
comb, so popular some years ago. Is

Eighth Week Of
Legislature Going
(CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE •
without changes. If tilts ts any indi
cation, the measure will paw.
The main opposition is from some
of the larger counties which stand
to lose more in equipment, convict
camps and other such items. Three
fourths of the Mecklenburg delega
tion oppose the measure; half of the j
Durham, and some from other large j
counties. Forsyth legislators appear j
for it, as do all of the Buncombe;
representatives, and probably the;
Guilford delegates.
Governor Gardner has changed
from four to six commissioners and
a chairman, and has agreed to oilier
minor changes in the bill, behind
which he has thrown tho entire force
of his administration.
The six months state operated
school term, quiet for two weeks,
came up again Friday with the in
troduction of bills seeking to make
effective the state operation. They
recede from the original stand of
complete state costs, setting a mini
mum to which the state goes and
leaving improvement in the hands of
county authorities. They provide
$19,500,000 for the cost and seek, to
raise this fund from sales, produc
tion and income taxes,
Mom and more the view Is being
accepted that the state will not lie
able to find sufficient sources for
the additional $12,000,000 t» $14,000,
000 needed to take over the entire
term and that the final result will
be that the equalizing fund of $6,
500,000 will be increased, probably
as high as $10,000,000 and the pres
ent method continued. However, the
education committees are continuing
their efforts to find the money need
ed and are going through the near
ly a dozen sales, production and
other tax measures offered.
vuauy important is the “local
government commission” bill which
brought on a night session Friday.
This commission takes over func
tions of the county government ad
visory commission and local func
tions of the slate sinking fund com
mission, the bill placing all coun
ties, cities. districts and units under
■its control as to bond and note Is
sues and elections. All such acts
must be approved by the commis
sion and all bonds and notes sold
through it. The commission is to be
composed of the state treasurer,
auditor and commissioner of reve
nue and six other members named
by the governor, including a direc
tor ,two county and two city offi
cials and one other.
The commission restricts the in
vestments of sinking funds and
specifies requirements of depositor
ies of public funds. The bill will al
low funding and refunding bonds
Without a vote Of the people. Such
funding and refunding is designed
to help some of the counties, cities
and other units over rough places at
present. The measure is drastic, but ;
is expected to be enacted so public!
funds and public expenditures will
be fully safe-guarded.
Governor Gardner’s bill to estab
lish a commission of personnel, with
a director, in charge of employing
all state employes and a step to
ward civil service, went through the
senate with only two opposing votes.
The feature requiring like supervi
sion over county and municipal
employes was eliminated so the com
mission will serve only in an advis
ory capacity to such units.
The administration measure, es
tablishing a division of purchase
and contract in the governor’s of
lice, with a purchasing and con
tracting agent to handle all pur
chases for all state departments, in
stitutions and agencies has reached
the legislative hopper. It will meet
with some opposition, but likely to
be enacted.
The constitutional requirement for
redistricting the state, in three .ways
congressional districts, state sena
torial districts and state represen
tatives has given way to the more
important legislation, but is expected
to come up for final action soon.
The “short ballot’* bill is also yet to
reach the hopper, but it is promised.
In fact, it is expected to,get added

reorganization plans, by the visit of
former Governor Harry Flood

ballot and reorganized that state's
government. He Is Invited to address

Wldle seven weeks have passed
and committees are laboring day
and night to get the legislation in
shape for floor action, apparently
little Has been finally disposed of.
Much is in shape and will comeAip
for action within the next two weeks,
but the general assembly will prob
ably be In session for two or three
weeks In March.
The bills Introduced in the house
have passed the 600 mark, while hi
the senate they have exceeded 260, a
total of more than 800, including
some few' duplicates. Only 119 bills
•rlglnating in the house, and only

HOW TO ESCAPE
POVERTY
IN OUR MILL VILLAGES, OUR COMMUNITY, OUR

Poverty and Destitution, especially among the indus
trial classes, comes from the expenses incident to oper
ations, hospitalization and prolonged disabilities-If
the ill-fated ones have no means to meet these most ne
cessary expenses, then they immediately become entire
ly dependent upon charity, their employer, their doctor,
their clothier, their grocer, their druggist, their mer
chant, their hospital, their church, their community —
PARASITES—JUST PARASITES—Sapping the life
blood out of the community and giving nothing in return
MR. MANUFACTURER—You have the answer te
this critical situation that is existent today. The solu
tion is pure and simple. All the employer needs is an op
portunity to buy a Provident Combination Policy, at a
cost of a few cents per day, and without cost to you, to
protect him and his family against such calamities. If
you will allow us to offer him this insurance he will buy,
and you will be rendering your employees and the com
munity an everlasting service.
