The Foxes.
So far as information is to be had,
the several dozen young foxes that
were turned loose in Ebenezer and
Kings Mountain townships last winter
are doing fine and they are going to
furnish some great sport this fall. A
gentleman who has been keeping up
with the progress Of the foxes, said to
the reporter in Rock Hill last Saturday
that the animals are now little more
than half grown. Several Of them
have been seen from time to time in the
Ebenezer country and there has been
no complaint as to damage wrought by
them. Reports from the foxes turned
loose in Kings Mountain township are
equally favorable.
