Snappers arc not brought to the local market as thejtured For some weeks now there been a big business going on here abouts in the way of catching escal lops or "scollops" as everybody calls them. Wherever tjjere ( are grassy bottoms these toothsome mollusca are to be found, but they are partic ularly plentiful in tne waters of 7 Bogus Sound. Beaufort ,and More head City fishermen ha v been very industrious in their pursuit of the escallops and although prices are not so high as some iies in the past , still considerable' , money is being made by the men engaged in the . business. During the year of the . Dig ireeze prices lor escallops lor a while were very high, bringing some times around six dollars a gallon for the fishernien. This season the fish ermen have been getting about two dollars a gallon for them. ' v It appears that in their eagerness to make good catches of escallops , some of the fishermen have been vio lating the rules of the Fish Commis sion and some have been arrested for doing so. A letter from Fish Com missioner Nelson on this point has been received by the News and as it is of general interest at this time is herewith published, "Editor The Beaufort News: 7' "As a matter of news that would probably be of interest to your read ers, and may be of some assistance to the Commission in keeping down violations of the fishing laws of the State, I would be glad that you make mention In your paper of the follow ing happenings: 0 ...'hell fiish rule No. IS, makes it a violation to take escallops with drags or scrapers between Spooners Point up Bogue Sound extending eastwardly, taking in all the bays and creeks and water of the sound to Brant Island, opposite- the N. S, R. R. Pier No. 1. "It has been reported to the Com. mlssloner that a number of fisher men would leave home after night' and take escallops by using drsg with power boats. The Commis sioner engaged a, small power boat such as used for dragging escallops and with two men proceeded to the restricted territory after night and' came across several boats dragging near Sally Bell's shoal. which is in the forbidden territory, often and before they knew It, he had cP- six boats and thirteen men.
