Dan'L Walker, who in his capa
city of City Manager, manages
the human population of Long
Beach, declared, “It was most
disillusioning—I’m sure the foxes
of Tranquil will agree with this—
to see the end of that particular
chase. Not a seariet coat, peaked
cap, horn, white breeches or pol
ished black boots among them!
Just a bunch of Southern boys out
to bag a few foxes. Unlike the
sporting British, the group did
not cc’.teht. themselves with
bringing pack a brush (tail) of
their troerit.-, they brought along
the whole iarcaases.”
Dan identified the party and
their home towns as follow: From
Carthage. Calvin B. Blue, Jr., Dar
rell Matthews and Gordon Mat
thews; from Vass, William Bine,
W. L. Richardson, W. L. Cameron
and Lewis Garner; from Sanford,
II. B. Womack and Arthur
Bridges, and Raymond Elkin, who
hails from Bear Creek.
The party bagged ten foxes in
only seven hours spent afield over
the two-clay safari. And still ac
cording to Dan’L. Walker, the
lads all agreed that it was tfie
finest fox hunting they had ever i
enjoyed anywhere.
Since there was nary a horse in j
sight, the up-staters must have ;
-.pen quite e. bit of Oak Island, i
North Carolina, hunting afoot.
For the ceueainish who remem
ber the burnished coats of the
wiliest wild, animal on the North
American continent; their bright J
eyes and, perhaps, a nest filled i
with vixens awaiting mom and j
pop’s return, be it then known
that some of the carcasses mauled
by the dogs clearly showed that
the victims had grown fat from
a diet of quail and other birds, in
cluding those of song variety.
