FISHERMEN

Thousands of
Property S w ept Away and Many
Deprived of Means of Livelihood
Mr. C. R. l'ujjh of tin city
has just made a circuit of the
fishing districts of the sound
and returning gave a reporter
lor thin newspaper ou yesterday
he followiug statement.
, 'No inau has the faintest idea
of the, damage done to the
fishing material in Dare Conn
ty by the late storm without
'taking a trip through that
stricken territory.
"At a conservative estimate
damage done to material alone
will easily reach $1"U)00.00
, "At Hat terns, where there is
estimated to be $'2.-,0W.O worth
of material, most of which was
iu catching order when the
storm came, the damage will
very probably reach eight to
tell thousand dolbirs; ;. i Slum
pj Point, where last year
year wan one of the greatest
fishing successes of late years,
at least three-fifths of the ana
tenal was destroyed by tie
storm.
"At Wanehese, the greatest
shipping point for shad in thej
world, at which point the
shad are shipped from the prin
vipal fisheries of Marshes.
Hog Island, rut Through.
Smith Creek. Stumpy Point.
Sandy, I'oini, Skyco, Spencers
Cnrk. and Manns Harbor the,
lisheniU'ii easily estimate a dim
age of from of from seventy live
to $100,000.00.
"Men who operated what is
known as thm or four siands
of nets -meaning from live to
ten nets to the stand, say they
will feel very lucky to get one
stand repaired and in catching
order out of the three or four.
"The fishermen had line pros
poets for a good season ; they
were jovial aiyl encouraged;
their nets were almost all set
since it is customary to get
all nets in the water on
or about the last week iu March.
Many of them had made
new material and gone in debt
for it; many owed for mater
ial used last year; many had
purchased boats and engines
depending upon this springs
fishing to 'pay them out'.
The citizens owe the mer
chants for supplies, from food
stuffs to Ashing material, and
the oil dealers for the oil; and
iu turn the merchant owes the
wholesale man and jobbers, and
the wholesale man owes the
Hank, all looking forward to
the shad fishing season to
bring them out'.
It was grass, more than
tide or wind that did the dam,
nge. The strong wind and
tide and heavy sea, broke up
the grass from the bottom and
caused it to drift into the nets
which became so heavy that

"These people, many of whom
have had all their nets swept
away have nothing to width

usually 'go to sea' after a
dull season, but the war has
decreased American shipping

are ' not employing many sail

it looks as if many of Dare

the 'Bread Line for the com

In connection wiih the r
cent passage by the Legislature
of a Suite wide Fish bill con
siderable interest has been felt
throughout this section in the
ajKjiutineiit of the flsh com
missioner. There have been two candi
dates for the position in Eliza
beth City. J. H. LeRoy and
M. B. Sawyer. Mr. LeBoy
was appointed by Governdr
Kltchin two years ago and was
active at Raleigh in lobbying
for tlie new bill. It was
supposed by a great many in
this section thai he would be
re-appointed.
More .recently1, however, the
news leaku out that M. R.
Sawyer was an applicant and
many of his friends felt that
through the powerful influence
of Senator Simmons who was
said to Im urging his appoint
ment, Mr. Sawyer would be
named .
News of the appointment of
the lish commission, however,
came yesterday and can hardly
be const rued as favorable to
either Elizabeth City candidate.
The Covernor recommended to
the commission after he hafl
named its members, that II..
L. Cibbs be elected fish com
missioner. Mr. Cibbs is a
native of Hyde County and now
a resident of Xewbern. Ue
is hrotliT in law of Senator
Simmons. !m making the ,
appointment Covernor Craig
stated (hat Senator Simmons -had
urged the appointment of
Mr. Sawyer. One member
of the commission is Mr. T. P.

represented are Wake, Cartaret
