Amertcus {Ga.) Recorder.
Aaron Glover, negro man living
near Americus. would be star attrac-
ton in a museum. The peculiar feat
ure in the make up of this modern
Aaron is that the right side OF his body
from head to heel, is of light or mu-
latto shade, while the left side is black
African, pure and simple. A well-de-
fined line divides the two distinct
shades. But the strangest feature yet
is the fact this negro perspires only OF
one side of his face and body. While
the right side of his face is beaded with
persplration the left side is ''bone dry
and has always been SO. From his
shoulders down this is exactly reversed
the lett side perspiring freely while
the right ever remains perfectly dry.
Glover says it has been this way all
his life, and no one can account for it.
