TOOK FOXES IN NEAT TRAP
Probably Only Instance on RECORD
Where Youngsters Were Caught
In a Horse Blanket.

How four foxes We're caught In u

X. A. Hutmacher In the Hunter-Tradel
Trapper of Columbus, o.
81 happened to be driving south OF
Rapatee, H., with the implement deal
er of that town, making business calls
ON several farmers OF that section,
when, To my surprise. | saw on very
steep hill In the distance several young
foxes playing about as If no human
was near" says Mr.. Hutmacher. My
partner and | decided TO try our luck
AT catching them. so driving on little
farther, we tied our horses and set
out across the field after them.
"When we reached the hole, they
were all up over the hill chasing each
other, so telling my companion to go
around the hill and chase them my
way threw horse blanket over their
hole and waited. As they came rush
the blanket just enough to hide myself
and at the same time form trap of II
for them to run Into.
They all got to the hole about the
same time, when I threw one end OF
the blanket over them, the other end
being over the hole. In the excite

In the folds of the blanket.
I'VE went back to the buggy and

FOR MALARIA CONTROL.
Work Progress Satisfactorily Last
Week Near Town.

Work on the malaria control cam
paign progressed very satisfactorily
last week, stated E. l.. Filby, state
sanitary engineer, Monday. During
the week the pond on Sheriff S. G.
Rays plantation on the edge OF
town was drained. This drainage did
not require a great amount of ditch
ing, but the existing system of ditch
es were cleaned out and deepened.
It was necessary to construct one
ditch for a short distance of consld-
erable depth. The standing water
in this pond is now being drained
into the main ditch, about a half
mile distant, the big ditch being tap
ped at the intersection of the Ehr-
hardt public road.
This week work was resumed De-
tween the pond on DR.. Watson S
place and the city limits, and there
are already some existing bitches.
These will be cleaned out and such
new ones as necessary constructed.

BURIED AT SPRINGTOWN.
DIR. 0. ID. Faust Laid to Rest Last
Thursday.

The remains of DR.. o. D. Faust,
who died in Charleston on Wednesday
morning of last week, were brought
to Bamberg Thursday morning on the
11:16 train, and interment took place
at Springtown Baptist church, few
miles from Bamberg, Thursday after
noon. A large number of friends of
DR.. Faust attended the funeral and
burial at Springtown. Brief funeral
services were conducted at the grave
by Rev. Geo. P. White, pastor of the
Bamberg Baptist church.
DR.. Faust was stricken with a fatal
illness about two weeks before his
death, and was carried to a
hospital in Charleston for treat
ment, and everything possible was
done for him without avail. While
the news of his death brought no sur
prise to those who were acquainted
with his condition, it caused gen.
eral sadness in the city, where he
was a familiar figure for so many
years.
Being of an unusually jolly ma
ture, DR.. Faust numbered his friends
by the hundreds all over the county.
He always had a cheerful word for
his acouaintances wherever he met
them.
DR.. Faust was 67 years of age, and
had lived practically all of his life in
Bamberg county. He practiced den
tistry here for about thirty years. In
addition to this DR.. Faust operated a
farm near town, in which he took
great pride. This farm was provided
with all manner of fruit trees, and
DR.. Faust was a horticulturist of
considerable magnitude. His fruit
trees and pecans were the finest, per-
haps, in this section.
He was twice married, first to Miss
Hagood, and later to Miss Rice, both
of whom died many years ago. He
is survived by five children: 0. D..
Faust, Jr., of Jacksonville; Mrs. W..
A. Storm, of Blackville; and Misses
Thelma, Frances and Dixie Faust, of
Macon, Ga. He was member of the
Baptist church, and was born in this
county.

TO IMPROVE THE STREETS.
City Council Purchses Equipment and
Pair of Mules.

Realizing that the streets of the
city of Bamberg need attention and
need it right away, the Bamberg city
council has decided to buy some road
building equipment and a pair Of
mules as a starter in this direction.
These mules, with those which the
city already owns, will be used to
pull big plow which has been Sc
cured from Contractor J. R. Beazley,
this plow being a portion of his road
building equipment recently used in
this county. Most of the streets OF
the town have been clayed time and
again in the years past, but the clay
has been gradually worked under the
sand. The idea is to thorougly plow
the streets up, harrow and drag them.
1t has been demonstrated by work re-
Gently done on Bridge street that this
is an effective method of making
good reads.
It is expected that This new start
in street repairing will be pushed
rapidly. and that within a few weeks
our streets will be in much better
condition.

BIG BOND ISSUE PROPOSED.
Petitions Circulated Calling For Elec-
ton on $15O,OOO Bonds.

Petitions were prepared last week
by B. D. Carter, Esq, city attorney,
calling for an election on the ques-
ton of issuing bonds to the amount
of S150,00O for city improvements.
The petitions are now being circulat-
ed, and are beng signed by the prop
erty owners, the signatures of two
thirds of whom will be required to
order the election.
Four petitions were prepared. One
of these calls for an election for the
purpose of voting on bond issue of
$4,000 for a sewerage system fol
Bamberg; the second is for a bond
issue of $4,000 for the extension of
the present water-works system; the
third is for bond issue of $4,000
for the repair and enlargement of the
electric light and power plant, and
the fourth calls for a bond issue OF
$4,000 for street and sidewalk i'm
provements.
1t is felt by the members of the city
council that now is the propltlous
time for Inauguration of campaign
for these improvements. With the
completion of the malaria control
work in the early summer, the health
of Bamberg will be further protected
by the installation of sewerage sys-
TEN, a need which has detracted seri-
ously from the health conditions of
the city.
The extension of the WaterWorks
system of the city will be necessary
with the installation of sewerage, and
the increased demands on the power
plant with this Improvement will
make it necessary to enlarge the plant
and it will be necessary to provide
funds for some very necessary re-
pairs. Whether the sewerage bond
issue is carried or not, some arrange
ment will have to be made t. repair
the power plant, it is stated.
The $4,000 for street and side
walk improvement is necessary if the
streets are to receive the improve
ment that is very necessary to the
growth of the town.
Bamberg's civic pride has been
aroused for some time, and the paw
ing of Main street was only a be-
ginning. This work has been paid for,
or funds have been provided for this
purpose. The malarial control work
has likewise been paid for, or funds
have been provided for this purpose.
There is a demand now in other
parts of the town for paved sidewalks,
the property owners being willing to
pay half of the cost, and the provis-
ion for $4,000 bonds for street and
sidewalk improvement will take care
of such demands as these.

FLU" AGAIN PREVALENT.
Schools and Theatres Closed.-Car-
Isle Quarantined.

Last week several cases of influen-
"a were reported in various sections
of the city of Bamberg, and while
there is yet very little prevalence of
the epidemic, the city board of health
as precautionary metsure, decided
Saturday to close the public schools
for few days, and it was likewise
decided to close the motion picture
theatres.
AS result of this order the grad
ed school is closed until further o.
ders. 1t is not believed that it will
be necessary to keep the schools clos
ed very long, and it is felt that this
action at the present time may con-
tribute materially to controlling the
influenza before it reaches an cpl
demic stage.
Carlisle school has been quarantin-
ed. There are no cases of the dis
ease reported in the school, and the
school authorities feel that the ca
diets will be safer in the barracks
than at their homes, as no visitors are
allowed on the school grounds and
none of the cadets are permitted to
leave the campus except under guard.
The total number of cases in the
city among both white and colored
are so few that there is not the slight
est cause for any alarm at this time,
although the people are cautioned to
use all possible preventive measures
to insure themselves against infec-
tion.
There are some scattering cases of
the disease throughout the county.
More cases have been reported in
the EN- bree section so far than any
other section of the county, There
has been one death at Embree. So
far no serious cases have developed
in or around Bamberg, and the dis
ease this year is much lighter than
last winter.
1t was decided not to interfere with
church services at this time.
