pretty.
Parties from Mount Holly and Phila
delphia, who flshed at Budd's bog, OF
Sunday, caught fifteen nice pike and many
catfish.
William Wise, Philadelphia merchant
brought his family to Mount Holly In al
automobile on Sunday afternoon. They
reached here at o'clock and spent tn,
balance of the day on the upper creek.
The Birmingham Inn being closed a
the present time, boating parties desiring
to purchase luncheon go to Pemberton
where they dine at Hartman's hotel. This
project of establishing a sanatorium al

Edwin Gould, of New York, member
of the well-known and wealthy family Of
that name, accompanied by two of hii
sons and friend, spent Sunday on the
upper creek In canoe. Mr.. Gould, who
spent Saturday night in Philadelphia. had
shipped his canoe to Mount Holly on the
top of an automobile, on Saturday after.
noon. The party left for Burlington early
Sunday night, and expressed themselves
greatly pleased with their paddle.
Without taking time to gather up lunch
baskets and other things used in connec.
ton with their outing on the upper creek
one night last week. party of females
made hasty departure In their boats for
Hacks wharf. The sudden termination
of the pleasure of those who were spend
ing the evening at Smiths meadow, came
when one of the party gave scream and
declared that she had seen ghost. As
no one disputed her word, all hands left
that point in record time.
For several days last week the water In
the creek was very dirty and number of
dead fish were found, attributed
to that cause. Believing that the trouble
came from the sand washery along that
stream, Fish and Game Warden Charles
@. Morton, of Mount Holly, went to Bir-
mingham and registered complaint with
Norcross & Edmonds, who at times pollute
the water at that point. The firm promised
to use their filter beds and permit the
water from their washery to settle before
1t Is permitted to drain back into the
creek. Most of the dead fish were picked
up at Smithville.
An aged resident living on Mill street
took walk towards Smithville, on Sun
day, In search of magnolias. Penetrating
the timber along the route he occasionally
came to some bend In the creek. Finding
the stream of such grandeur, and which
he did not suppose was so beautiful, he
abandoned further hunt for the fragrant
flowers and spent several hours along the
banks of the creek. watching the pleasure
seekers as they passed In canoes and bat
teaus. The getleman in question has
never been up the creek but once in his
life, but he has resolved to take day off
soon and enjoy the scenery along that
stream as far up as Smithvillee.
Action will be taken in few days that
may have tendency to restore fishing In
the upper creek, which has been very poor
for the past ten years, at which time a
pond owned by a man named Dantz, at
EwanYille, broke and released his large
stock of cultivated carp. which prey on
the spawn of other fish to the extent that
only few pike and bass are now caught
as compared to the time when carp did not
inhabit the upper creek. The method of
discriminating carp In large measure will
be taken by Game Warden Morton and
Allen E. Smith, who will operate in the
pond at Smithville, having been granted
permission to do so by the State Fish and
Game Commission. The first application
OF Mr.. Smith in this direction was refused,
but the necessary power to proceed was
secured through the influence of Assem-
blyman Blanchard 81. White. The order
directs that the work shall proceed under
the supervision of Game Warden Morton.
The latter will use net of fine mesh, so
that large as well as small carp can be
captured.
