Common Dog Spotted Fever KNOXVILLE (Spl) The com- mon dog tick prevalent in Tennessee and the eastern United States is becoming increasingly notorious as a carrier of the dread Rocky Mountain spotted fever and as causative agent of a polio-like tick paralysis Fortunately unlike some cases of polio both the tick and its resulting human illnesses can be combatted with excellent chances of success This word of caution and encouragement comes from Dr A Cole Jr University of Tennessee entomologist who every year examines suspected ticks and answers queries sent in by POST LIFE and in THE BIG LEFTHAND ENGRAVER $995 SPECIAL WHITE SALE PRICE Mtw- mm in the removal process If turpentine or ether is not available remove tick gently with fingers or tweezers Open woods and fields are particularly attractive to ticks but they are found almost everywhere by campers and hikers says Dr Cole Evdn in the city house pets should be examined carefully because the tick readily transfers from animal to man his clothing or furniture Persons who find their pet dog has infested the house with ticks which sometimes happens will get surest results from fumigation with the common Para-dichlorobenzene (TDB) If infestation is not too bad contacting the ticks with DDT spray will probably do the job according to the U-T man The American dog tick and the Rocky Mountain wood tick (not common in this section) are now known to be the two chief transmitting agents of Rocky Mountain spotted fever Dr Cole re ports The infection resulting in a mottling of the skin and high fever formerly was often fatal Today modern diagnostic and treatment methods mke chances of recovery excellent if the patient is treated in time Tick paralysis sometimes results from the injected venom of a female tiek often found on the head or at the base of the spine Symptoms are similar to those of polio but if the tick is removed or falls off in time the patient usually recovers in from 24 to 48 hours The paralysis has been known to be fatal If the tick was not discovered in time says Dr Cole COOL COMFORTABLE ALLERGY-FREE Get the rest of your life at a special price Buy Daytons incomparable

throughout the state 'Although the dog tick is the most common of Tennessee ticks its bite does not necessarily mean spotted fever or paralysis explains Dr Cole For instance certain small rodents are car riers of the fever organism and the tick must first feed upon them before transmitting the disease to humans On the other hand warns the U-T scientist cases of infection are prevalent enough to demand constant' awareness by hikers campers and pet owners He also says that personal observations and reports from others indicate this is going to be a big tick year A reddish-brown oval-shaped pest about the diameter of a pencil eraser or slightly larger the tick is flattened when it first transfers to children and adults the U-T scientist reports It feeds on the person until engorged with blood usually after several days then drops off Although it has eight legs it can seldom be felt moving on the body and it does not cause pain when feeding According to Dr Cole the best precautions for campers and hikers are an alertness to tick presence the wearing of boots leggings or Socks pulled up over trouser bottoms and careful examination of the body at least twice a day when camping out The hair should be combed with a fine-tooth comb Prompt removal of a tick is recommended since it rarely transfers infection until it has fed for several hours The U-T professor advises killing it first with turpentine or ether because the live tick may inject TIMES-NEWS CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS a tail ina Hf as if it had come from Richmond or Philadelphia After five years on Big Left-hand Ace practically abandoned farming and devoted himself almost entirely to his hobby Finally the neighbors noticed that no longer tinkered with his on the porch or under the Several called at the house to inquire as to his whereabouts were tgld that hed gone hunting As time went on Aces actions became the basis for wonder in his community Hed farming and as far as any-oody could tell hed quit his engraving also that is hed quitr engraving as a hobby quit it far as working at it in the around home any more At first the wondering about and his peculiarities was in every man who saw to wonder wondered to himself But early in the spring of 1844 was the blossoming of seventh year on Big Left-hand the silent wondering gave to the whispering of suspicions between neighbor and neighbor The whispering increased in volume at last one Big Lefthand with a personal grudge against the backwoods metal-smith and engraver came right and brazenly declared on courthouse steps that he for a certainty that Ace Harper was operating a counterfeiting outfit back in the hills somewhere and that was enough the county law officers who just itching to catch somebody in meanness The officers didnt catch Ace any meanness exactly but found proof of wrongdoing enough to influence the grand to return a true bill against and tickled at the breaking the monotony of doing nothing all the time theyd eagerly arrested the man of the peculiar talent and brought him to trial Hargis finished his reading Wandero cleared his throat looked down on Ace over glasses and spoke in what everyone present recognized as forced friendly voice: Asa Harper he said you are charged with counterfeiting the and currency of the United States of America contrary to laws thereof What have you say for yourself? Ace lifted his eyes for the first during the whole proceedings He looked the judge straight in the eye fishing several soiled bags from his clothes while He dumped the con onto a table jangling and crackling banknotes This he said is my share Now if youll stack your on top of it well have a rightsmart pile For a spell Judge Wandero seemed about to throw a fit He struck speechless it seemed Finally however he found his and ordered Ace locked up contempt of court but he didnt seem too happy about it soon thereafter he adjourned the tribunal until ten oclock the next day The jailer locked Ace up good tight He said that what he slept that night he slept a pallet made down across jailhouse door But be that it may Ace was gone the next morning All windows were secure and lock showed no signs of hav been tampered with yet was gone and despite the scouring of the hills by the law officers and the digging up much ground by his folks from the Clinch and Big Sandy who contended that hed

around in his jaw and looked straight down at the floor Ace was in a fix If the paper that Jeff Hargis the clerk of the court was reading aloud meant all that it said Ace was in an awful fix Hargis finished one page flipped the sheet over and started on another His voice droned on natural disinterested Judge Wandero chewed vigorously on the stub of a gone-out cigar and glared balefully down upon the prisoner at the bar Ace never flinched under the impact of the accusative stare but his face crimsoned with anger and he sort of shifted his weight from one foot to the other and heaved a deep-chested sigh Never before had there been a case in the Kanawha County court like the case of The Commonwealth of Virginia vs Asa Harper was going to be and the big 24x40 room where Judge Wandero dispensed justice was crowded to overflowing Despite the almost continuous banging of the courts gavel there were whispered controversies going on all over the place as to the accused mans guilt or innocence If Jeff Hargis the clerk wasjiout neutral in the litigation then he very evidently stood alone one among hundreds For everybody else were taking sides Even the dignity of the bench could not hide the smirk of satisfaction on Judge Wanderos face as Hargis continued to read off the damning charge Opinion was about equally divided Some argued that Ace had never comported himself in the manner of a good citizen while others contended every bit as vStoutly that hed slaved himself for all he had and that his accusers were just envious of his success and talents Maybe Ace hadnt comported himself according to the customs of the community in which he resided maybe his ways had not always coincided with the ways of his neighbors but his ways had been the ways of a hard-working hill farmer or so it seemed until this thing had come up and been brought against him and no one could deny him talents above any other man in the western rim of Vir ginia one of which was destined to lift him up set him apart from his fellows then pull him down and drag him before the bar of justice Seven years before the true bill was returned Ace had pulled stakes in the Clinch Valley country and moved all the way across the mountains to establish himself on Big Lefthand Creek a wild and rugged country even an untracked wilderness But Aces share of Big Left-hand didnt remain a wilderness long Ace was big-boned and although he was crowding 50 he was strong as an ox So he set to cutting and slashing putting up buildings and splitting rails and fencing and it wasnt long until he had changed his part of Big Lefthand from an unbroken forest to a beautiful farmstead with a substantial log house and several acres of rolling and productive fields And that was not all that Ace Harper did Had it been he would have just plugged along year after year like his neighbors and never gotten into trouble When Ace was not busy in his fields he could be found on his spacious front porch or in the shade of a nearby tree tinkering with his hobby which was of all things considering the time and place engraving And Ace was good at it too engraving Why he could take a chunk of copper silver gold anything in the way of metal and beat it out and with a few strokes of the specially made tools he had make of it a thing of beauty Of course the neighbors distant as they were at first would drop in every chance they got to watch Ace in the pursuit of his hobby and marvel at the things he produced To humor and entertain them hed carve their names or a verse out of the Bible on a sheet of copper and then print it on paper so that they could read it just the same he tools tree and quit as open Ace secret cause which Aces way fellow the knew for were in they jury him of Judge his a coins
