# -
The old "Pep Hat;", winch hit*
l>een stored nwa.v in some unfor
gotten place for inch a long time,
haa been brought forth from it*
hiding place and given an oppor
tunity to *vork it* influence upon
the populace of Ahoskie. She
"bunted wide open" and thorough
ly pervaded the quiet, calm air
tliat ha* been having things all it*
way these many years And. why

those who attended the maa* meet
ing held at the Wooodmen Hall on
laat Friday night and you hare
the anawer. The spirit that va*
prevalent at this meeting may be
properly classified by the the fol
loring word*, "pep", "punch"
'?progre*oivene*?". "apizzerink
tum",
The occasion of the meeting was
to plan for the entertainment of
the Confederate veterans at an
Old Soldier* Day to be held in
Ahoskie some time during the
month of Auguat. Mr. E. .1. Ger
ock. always a man who believes
in progress and whnae i>ep bag is
always working, presided at the
meeting, which was fully repre
sentative of all lines of business in
AJioe'tie. They were there?there
to show outsiders "How Ahoskie
Does Thing*.". Mr. J. N. Vaon
was elected Secretary of the body.
The Chairman stated the object of
the meeting and gave a rough out
line of the procedure of the day.
Several short talks were made
and a period of discuasion follow
ed.- Finally, on a motion by Mr.
J. R. Garrett, the body decided
unanimously that the Chairman
should appoint a committee, whose
duty it should be to draft a com
plete schedule of events as tbey
should be staged on that day, and
to report their findings for ratifi
cation or rejection at a meeting
to be held next Friday Digbt, July
14. This concludes performance
number one.
But. right hereold Mr. Pep * talk
in. His first victim wasDi. C.
G. Powell, who became thorough
ly inoculated. Dr. Powell repeat
ed what we have said in these
columns so many times before?
that our town must have some
form of organized oodv in order
to accomplish and put into effect
progressive movements for the ad
vancement or the town's interests.
His words were weighty and con- '
vincing to such a degree that he
soon moved others in large num
bers to address the chair, advocat
ing organized effort in Ahoskie.
Expressions were heard from 1
many of the citizens, all of
whom looked with optimisn upon
the meeting that was in progress
?a meeting that is destined to
"unkink" the knotty problem of
non co-operation in Ahoskie. The
outcome of the .meeting which was
thoroughly peppered, was a unan
imous decision that a meeting was
to be held Friday night, July 14,
immediately after the report ot
the committee on Old Soldier's
Day. At thistime it is hope J to dis
cuss way* and means ot organiz
ing a Board of Trade for the town
of Ahoskie.

COMMON TO ALL COUNTRIES
Hydrophobia Commonly Found in
Caninea, Though not Altogether
Confined to Doga.?Cattle
Horses, and Sheep Of
ten Infected. Two
Form of Ra
' biea.
I *
Tlie term "hydrophobia" was
employed hs a name for the dis
ease of rabies at a time when it
watt thought that fear of the sight
of water waaone of the beatsymp
tons in its determination. The
disease, like many others, occurs
in nearly all countries.
It is princ ipully a canine disease,
being seen mostly in dogs, and
usually triinsferred from dog to
dog. dog to man or dog to other
animals. Only a few animals are
not suaceptible to it. Other than
the dog, the most cases reported to
the Veterinary Division have been
cattle. A number have been made
where hogs were infected, and
several in horses and sheep.
Dr. G. A. Roberts was recently
to one county where there was a
suspicious outbreak in cattle. Sev
en head out of u herd of eighty
cows in one pasture died, and the
the clinical s.vmptons were typical
of rabies. Jlowever, the brain
from one of the animals was re
moved and sent to the laboratory
where the bodies which are so
churcteristic of the disease were
found in the cellular structure of
of the brain. Some dogs which
bad been showing sympions of t
rabies bad also been killed in the
neighborhood, and other deaths
had occurred in cattle and sheep.
This all went to prove that the cat- 1
tie had died of labies.
The identity of the specific
c<vuse of the disease has not been
accepted by all investigators,
though many of them believe it to
be an animal organism represent
ed by the "Negri Bodies" men
tioned above.
The natural manner of transmis
sion of the disease is by means of
introducing saliva into or under
the skin wiih the bite of an infect
ed animal. With few exceptions,
the bite is from a dog. If lie is
not infected, the bite cannot result
in the disease, nor will the bite
fromttll infected animuls develop
rabies. The failure to know this
fact has made many so cailed"inad
stonea" famous.
Tlie length of time occurring
between the bile of the animal and
the development of the disease va
ries from a few weeks to several
weeks to several months in rare ?
instances. Dogs bitten by anoth
ar suspicious dog should be kept
confined and under observation t
for at least two months, though ,
most cases will develop in odc- j
half the time. ,
There are two forms of rabies i
most commonly observed in dogs, /
?ne is the "furious" and the other ^
one the "dumb," and the terms (
used are descriptive of the general
symptons of each. Paralysis, indi- 1
cated by an inability to swallow 1
feed or water, is present in the I
latter stages of each form. A pos j
itive diagnosis may be made in (
many cases from the symptons
alone, but in other cases a !abora- '
tory examination is necessary. 1
This consists first of a microscopi- I
cal examination of some of the |
brain substances, and if the bodies (
are found a positive diagnosis is
made. Otherwise, it will be nec- (
essary to reproduce the disease in 1
a small laboratory animal before
such a diagnosis can be rendered.
Another and much, preferable
laboratory test is now in process
of development. This consists of
taking a sample of blood from a
living or healthy person or animal
which has been bitten by a diseas
ed animal and submitting the sam
ple to test. In this case it will
not be necessary to wait until
symptons develop or the ainmaC
dies to determine the infection.
Such a test will enable the author
ities to use tho Pasteur preventive
treatment on onl,v such persons
or animals whose ? blood shows a
positive reaction. ? *
