This Inquirey 1 From New Y< A Long Island, N. Y? man has written the Southport Civic Club with a view of moving here and engaging in a slick business. Of course, he did not put it that way. His desire is to come here and engage in the business of catching and also buying and shipping eels. He states he wishes to make Southport his permanent home and that he expects to employ a number of men at this eel fishing business. His letter was in the nature of an inquiry as to whether a nonresident of North Carolina would be permitted to engage in such an occupation. He has been advised that, according to local information, he can engage in the buying and selling business upon the payment of the fish dealers tax of $2.50 per year.

This sounds like a very slippery business with slick possibilities, but it not out of reason. Eels abound by the million in the Cape Fear River and in every big and little stream that empties inI to it. While the eel is not highly touted as a local article of diet there are niarI kets where this product commands a price that looks like a premiujn over that of some of the most highly rated food fishes.
