A great number of the animals have been slain, some in practically al parts of the county and with the greatest numbers in North West and Town Creek townships, where the disease first made its appearance. SmiLhville and Lockwoods i'ollj townships have also been reporting plenty of cases. Four ol the rabid foxes have been killed in the Southport city limits. Thus iar, only a few of the animals have been reported in Waccamaw and Shallotte townships, where the disease is just getting started. A review of reports reveals that eight persons have been bitten since the first outbreak " the disease. A large number oi dogs, including many fine ones have been bitten and were killed by the owners. A considerable number of cows are known to have been bitten and it is possible that others were bitten, along ! with other farm animals, without the owners being aware of the fact.

B. & S. Bus Lines, Inc., has had to discontinue its morning passenger service from Whiteville and evening service from Southport. This discontinuance is expected to be only temporary, according to Hubert Livingston, general manager of the bus lines. He states that the company has ordered two new buses, one of which should arrive in two weeks. It is hoped that by somo time in May regular morning and evening service can be maintained from both Whiteville and ! Southport. The company has six buses and two freight trucks. The trucks run hhftirpon Wilmino-fnn Snnfhnnrf > O i~" | and other points. Recently the Maritime Commission buses, each ' carrying about a hundred defense I workers, were taken off from | Shallottc to Wilmington and from Southport to Wilmington. The W. ' B. & S. was ordered by the ODT to take over and carry three . shifts of defense workers daily j between Southport and Wilming- v ton and two shifts daily between Shallotte and Wilmington. This forced the company to take off one of the Whitevillc-Southpor ; buses for the Shallotte-Wilmington trips. For the carrying of the extra load from Southport to Wil' mington the W. B. & S. managed II to rent one of the big Maritime' ,| buses. The cat lying of the mad by bus between Wilmington and ' | Southport was also discontinued and one of the companys trucks took over, carrying both express 1 and mail. "The increased business result\ ing from the discontinuance of the \ Maritime buses and the orders from the ODT forced the curtail. ed service between Whiteville and . Southport. We will resume regular service as soon as we get : additional buses and the ODT : gives permission," said Manager i Livingston, yesterday afternoon. Where the Maritime buses for merly carried only defense workers between Southport and Wilmingtonand Shallotte and Wilmington, the W. B. & S. now carries regular passengers on tho ; same trips, provided there is room. Orders are for defense workers to come first with the seating accommodations on the 1 buses. ?? ?r? 1 BriefNew* Flashes WORKING OVERTIME Captain J. M.
