In our uoast counties the oys ? ter business could be made ai j important industry if proper anc j. wise legislation were enacted' t? protect tlje oyster beds.

A>'d whs is true of Beaufort is true o Georgetown and of our othei coast counties. If properly pro 1 tented, canneries could be hiuli profitably operated where tin ' beds are, and remunerative em ployment given to our own peo I pie. If they were not and tin oysters were exported, the Sfatt should receive some revenue from them and not voluntarily contrit) j nte to enrich other Stat* p frotr , property which i? ours ROADS.
