With the drive to continue

all her workers to do likewise. She
again wishes to impress on the

By Any Shore Fishery In
This Area In Great
Many Years
The P. L. Swain Fishery, on
>ng Beach, struck it rich Moniy
afternoon when a haul of over
i.OOO pounds of roe mullets were
ade at a single set. It was such
job getting the net ashore with
is catch and handling the fish
ter the catch was made, the
ihery could do nothing with
any more tons of fish that were
ifting along in the area where
e catch was made.
The fish that got away were rented
moving on down the coast,
any of them will probably fall
' the nets of fishermen at other
lints between here and the
iuth Carolina line.
Roes from the ten ton catch of
ih averaged close to a pound
ch. The fish probably averaged
'o pounds and a half or more,
sh or roe, alike, were all eager,
bought by dealers who flockin
as soon as reports of the
tch got about There has been
statement as to the price obined
but the general understand%
is that the fish averaged
ound fifteen cents per pound,
lis would mean a sizable dividd
to each of the 9 or 10 men

what was thought to be the
d of the shore fishing season,
d not a very good season at
at, the fishermen were naturalmuch
elated at their good forne.
It is expected that this fishery
