M. DUNN MAKES some
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.

Mr.. Editor:
Inotice last weeks issue Of your
paper that you suggest a change
in the present board Of Town CON-
missioners. | think this a wise
suggestion, but think it would have
been a wiser one had you sug-
gested u new set Of Commissioners
in the place Of the old ones
Who the new Commissioners should
be, | am not prepared to say, but it
surely does seem that it would net
be hard task to name four repre-
sentative men for Commissioners
who would take more interest il
the town than the present Beard.
but if this cannot be done, then the
present Board suits me.
| served the town for two years
as commissioner, and | know it is
not & desirable position, and even
at the best you a,e severely critl-
cjsed Did | give the town the best
service and the interest | was ca
pable Of giving il? NO. Are the
present Comm issioncrs giving the
town the service and interest that
they are capable Of doing? NO.
Well, then, get down and cut and
let's come together and name &
ticket that will do SOMETHING.
What about the estimate made
for water-works for the town and
what do you say about proving
the business streets of the town, il
not all of them | am Of the
opinion that a bond issue for the
necessary improvements Of the
town could be carried by an over.
Whe?ming majority. Give the
voters a CHARGE to express them
selves On this subject. My opinion
is formed after having talked with
large number Of the representa-
tive people Of the town on these
two last named improvements.

The pictur~s Of the Colonel which
are being printed by the papers

that he is having "eosking good

big headlines in the papers Or make

a good one that Counsel WINS, of

A Washington news story to the
Greensboro News informs US Of
the fact that the Simmons machine
will line up for Dautridge in the
coming gubernatorial contest. We
also learn that the dee-ah Dee-pul
are tired of lawyers filling the eff
ces OF the State. Ali of which tends
to dissipate the fitness of Mr.. Btc's-
ct for the exalted govarnorship.
and incidentally-just incidentally
boost Mr.. Dautridge, who is not a
lawyer but big farmer, for COVER
nor. The exaust of the machine is
already heard. Later on listen out
for back firing.
Mr.. Bicket nominated the late
Col. Ashley Horne for governor at
the convention. That speech made
him attorney General. He spoke
his way to the at rney generalship.
He will speak lis way into the
hearts Of the people and be our next
governor. No man in the state is
better qualified He i: 2 r,cn = o +,
every native Far ile,l will be p:oad
to salute as Governor. He is at
home jostling elbows with
plain ordinary folks as much so as
when he is counselling with the
dignitaries. His experience. broad
ness, and mental acumen, with Il s
magnetic pers ,nality. places his
chances for election far above any
man that the machine can hope to
put up. And another thing, we
haven't heard Of any rail road law
yers endorsing our Attorney Cen
eral for governor.

1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH 1T WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very sparing-
ly, if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkaG. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The. hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
will supply every member of the
family for months.
