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. I am in formed that tons of oysters .an > .-shipped front Beaufort county 1 every weol$ during the winter tr I canning factories in other states which the State receive practical i Iv no revenue, and thes beds ar< tilmost inexhaustible. 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. There i? no subject of preatei importance and that will atFecl more people than that of good roads. N?> subject will come be fore you to which you could givf careful consideration with mon profit. Our conditions are such ihat it would scarcely bo wise t? levy and additional tax foi thit purpose. Hut bv wise'and propel use of the means at our disposa' much more might he accomplish ed thau is now done. STATU M11.IT! A.
