Warren County voters will
go to the polls Saturday to de

son Preyer and Judge Dan
Moore. Candidates for Lieuten
ant Governor are Robert Scott
and Clifton Blue, and candidates
for the House Seat are Wilton
R. Drake and Frank B. Banzet.
In the first primary Preyer
led Moore by nearly 25,000
votes in the largest vote ever
cast in the state. Dr. I. Bever
ly Lake, strong candidate in
Eastern Carolina, was elimi
nated. Several days after the
first primary, Dr. Lake said
that he would support Judge
Moore. How much of this Lake
support will swing to Moore is
expected to be a determing
factor in the election.
Scott, a new comer to state
politics, made a strong run for
Lt. Governor, leading Blue,
an Aberdeen publisher, by some
45,000 votes. Scott is former
State Grange Master and is the
son of the late Senator \V'. Kerr
Scott, which was a source of
strength in the first primary.
In the local race Frank Ban
zet was the high man in the
three-man race. He received
2109 votes to Drake's 1574
votes. Eliminated in this con
test was T. T. Clayton, War

1344 votes.

ial race in Warren County in
the first primary was Dr. Lake
who polled 2716 votes. Judge
Prever was in second place with
1731 votes and Judge Moore
received 579 votes.

Blue's 1962, while Jordan, the
third candidate received 440
vot es.
More than 5,000 votes were
cast in Warren County in the
May 30 primary to set a new
record. A considerable smaller
vote is expected here Saturday,
but the vote is expected to be
larger than is usually the case
in a second primary.

R. Mountain Fever
Reported In Warren
Two cases of Rocky Mount
Fever have been reported from
the Norlina-Wise area by the
Warren County Health Depart
ment.
One of these cases proved fat
al. Floyd Allen Parrlsh, 6,
died on Monday of last week
from the disease. He was the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Johnny
Floyd Parrlsh of Wise.
Another child has contested
the disease, but its name could
not be learned from the health
department. It was learned that
in this case the disease did not
prove fatal.
Dr. Robert F. Young, Warren
County Health Officer, inatele- I
phone call from Halifax to this
newspaper called attention to
the disease, which he describ
ed as very serious. Often where
the disease does not prove fatal
it deals a crippling blow to
the nervous system.
The disease is transmitted by
a tick, Dr. Young said. He ad
vised that parents, especially
those in the Norlina-Wise area
watch carefully for these ticks
on their children. He advised
that children be examined
several times a day to see if
they have any tick s on their
bodies. He said that it took
several hours for a tick to in
fest a person and that quick
removal of ticks would prevent
infestation.
Dr. Young advised that ticks
be removed with tweezer or al
cohol sponge to prevent person
from breaking the body of the
tick and infesting himself or the
child with its poison.
People who live in rural areas
or who have occassionto go into
the woods are advised by Dr.
Young to see their family phy
sician and obtain a vaccine
against the tick. He said that
this would be a wise step to
be taken by all persons whose
work carries them into th e
brush.
Dr. Young also advised that
persons owning dogs and other
pets use a spray or powder on
them to kill ticks.
Rocky Mountain Fever is an
extremely dangerous disease,
Dr. Young said, and every pre
caution ^should be taken against
infestation.
