Lust week we referred to the
glanders cases in Tirzah. Since then
se era cases have developed in
Y? ikv.lle. Mr. P. W. Love had
one o 1 his tine mules to die, and
another was very sick, with what
appeared to be glanders.
Mr. Love sent for l)r. Xesom
the veterinary surgeon at Cleinson,
to come and investigate, and he
came Tuesday, lie examined the
sick mule, and also a 'horse owned
by SheritT Logan, .that was sick,
and prnouonced the trouble glanders.
Dr. Nesom had to go down
io ljHtio.iiHier Tuesday, and (lid not
get back to Vorkville until Thursday.
Thursday evening lie went
out to K. 1?. Karnes' on the Kings
Mountain road, whore there was
a very sick horse and found a case
of glanders more pronounced than
any of the others. The horse was
ordered shot and the stable burned.
The mule belonging to Mr. Love
and Sheriff Logan's horse were
shot, in order to do away with the
danger of spreading the disease.
There is no known cure for
glanders, and a horse, or mule that
has it dies sooner or later after suffering
great agony. After exposure,
as has been demonstrated by
experiments conducted by the
French war department, the disease
may smoulder for several
months before giving any symptoms
of its presence; in other
cases, it breaks out in a few days.
It is contagious, and is sometimes
communicated by horses to men,
with the same fatal results. One
man in the lower edge of Y?>rkville,
named Funjv, died with it
just after the war, having caught
it in attempting to doctor a horse
that had it.
