Break Bone Fever or Dandy Fever)
There seems to be number of
cases of this disease in various sec
tions of Georgia and throughout the
country, probably some in Sumter
county.
Doctors are asked to warn their
patients of its presence. 1t may be
mistaken for malaria or influenza,
especially when the attending physi-
clan does not observe the terminal
rash.
1t is generally agreed that the
mosquito is responsible for its trans
mission. Authors are not agreed as
to what specie. Stitt and others
claim that either the culex fatigans
or the stegomyia calopus, or both
are responsible, but recent work by
japanese physicians claim that in ad-
dition Of the stegomyia calopus, the
stegomyia scutellaris may carry the
virus of dengue, but the culex fatig-
ans do not carry the virus; however,
the specie responsible for its spread
is domesticated. They breed in small

ATLANTA, Sept. 1.-The semi
monthly regional report for the
Southeast shows the following crop
conditions:
General Crop Conditions-Grow-
ing crops have suffered as a rule
during the past two weeks in most
Of the territory except in the coastal
region, 1t has been too dry.
Corn-Matured over a large part
of the region. Yields, as expected,
are light. Late corn suffered in
drouth regions.
Cotton-Cotton deterioration not
cd in the regular cotton report of
the twenty-fifth has continued
though not in such a marked de-
gree. Weevils now getting most Of
the squares, many small bolls, and
damaging grown hollis where small
bolls are lacking. Greatest damage
so far is in Georgia and South Car
DINA. Picking is progressing with
great rapidity. Cotton is opening
as far north as Atlanta. Plant over
most of the belt showing signs Of
maturity.
Tobacco - Suffered from dry
weather in Tennessee. Drouth re-
lieved in spots.
Sweet Potatoes-ZLooking wen
but needing rain in much Of region.
Irish otatoes-Second crop plant
ing delayed by dry weather.
Hay-Conditions favorable for
making hay, except in Florida. Grow
ing grasses and peas need more mols-
ture in rest of the belt. Unusual
amount of cowpea hay already saved.
Peanuta-Digging commenced on
small scale. Fattening of swine on

Dengue is an acute infectious
disease by a filterable virus carried
by the same mosquito that carries
yellow fever. One attack does not
confer immunity. The primary fe-

two days, followed by a secondary
fever; the rash comes on after the
second fever has subsidized.

NAMED In Case
Byheld Claims He Assisted
His Brother In Effort To Sc
cure Note By Force

ATLANTA, Sept. 1.-The name Of
Asa G. Gambler, Jr., entered the
Candler-Byfield case for the first
time Saturday when Clyde K. By
field charged him and Walter Can
der with assault in an alleged eff
fort to take from him the note for
S20,500 which Sander had given By
field.
Byfield said, in a formal answer
to Gamblers suit, that Walter Cand-
Ter, Asa G. Gambler, Jr, and a man
named Mcintyre, who lives with Wal
ter Gambler, came to him, demanded
the note, and forcibly made an eff
fort to take it from him, tearing
his clothes in a scuffle.
The note for S2O,5O0 was given TO
Byfield by Gambler after Byfield's
discovery of the Atlanta banker in
teh state room aboard the steam
ship Berengaria occupied by his wife,
Mrs. Sarah Byfield. as that ship
neared Cherbourg, France, on the
night of July IS.
According to Gambler. the mote
was given to Byfieid under duress.
The Byfelds charge that Gambler
voluntarily gave the note to soothe
their feelings for an alleged assault
on Mrs. Byfeld.
In touching on the attempt to re-
cover the note from him before it
was placed in the hands of Sheriff
Lowry by the Fulton count Superior
court order, Byfeld said:
AT a place Of business in Peach
tree Street, Walter Gambler, his
brother, Asa G. Gambler, Jr., and a
man named Mcintyre, resident at
the house of Walter Gambler, de-
manded the note and made an effort

an attempt to do so.

ing the note in my possession and
