Many citizens living in the coast section of this county have j been grumbling about the hoavx license imposed by the act of 1905 upon the business of gathering and shipping clams and oysters. This act j of 1905 makes the gatherer of the ' clams and oysters pay a license as well as the man who buys them to snip outside of the State. When the act came out last spiing everybody was surprised to lind that it provided for the pay ment of a license tax of $4(10.00 to engage in the business of shipping clams and oysters. It does not t appear that it was the intention of I the Legislature to prohibit entirely 1 the business of gathering and : hip < ping clams and oysters from South t Carolina, and that the act has had J this effect may be a surprise to the Legislature who voted for the 1 license of $100.00 Kven before the * passage of this act there were not I very many in Horry County * engaged in the business of shipping 1 clams and oysters. Since the passage of this act even those few have been compelled to quit the business * in this county. The license of four 1 hundred dollars is so high that no ' one can afford to pay it. It would take the entire profits of a season ' ?perhaps more?to pay it. The act of 1905 also compels the payment of a tax bv the laborer who <rathors the clams and oysters, and this feature of the license has per - 1 haps caused more complaint than the other. There has been much complaint ' about the act and some of the people ' have been talking about itever since they had notice that it was passed. 1 Last week a petition setting forth ' the facts and very numerously signed 1 by the peoplo who live in the coast ^ section of the county, was sent in to * our delegation in the Legislature ( asking them to use their eil'orts in 1 making a change. As our delegation 1 is from a coast county, their argu- 1 meats on the question should have weight in the General Assembly and it is likely that they will confer with i the Representatives from the other < coast counties and try to get toget her 1 on a new act that will not amount to absolute prohibition. i The people who wish the chanire understand that the clam and oyster beds of the State should bring in a revenue, and they do not ask that these valuable beds be thrown open to free use by everybody. What they want is a license which is reasonable in amount?one that will not amount to prohibition of the business. With the license reduced to $100.00 it would be possible for one. or two, perhaps three or four, in each comity to pay this amount and yet make a reasonable profit from the business. Even this tax would restrain the ' many who have been engaging in the business on a small scale from i year to year. The tax of $100.00) , would be paid of course only by those who could afford to go into the business as a regular thing and on a large scale This it appears to us would afford all the protection to the clam and oyster beds that is needed. Bet the present act stand with its license of $400 00 and who. we ask, will get any benefit either from the license or from the clam and oyster beds? The Slate will get no revenue because the license is too high and will not be paid. The clam and oyster beds will be of no use to the people as a means of livelihood. Pass a new act, or reduce the license to a reasonable amount and the result will be quite different. Some of the talk about preserving these beds is indeed visionary and very far fetched. What good to the State to prohibit thefr use as it is doing by the act of 1005? No one will dispute that these beds belong to the State. The State is the people. Therefore the beds belong to the people and it is the people who should use them and be benefited by them. But there arc those who would still preserve thein in violate, so that the beds would become full i????????mmmtmmrnrnrn????p I THE "D0DGI1 of a woman's life, Is the name oft< ra Your menses come at long intervs I stop.
