Industry OF the State.
ar. Gilman proposed to take the bill
mp by sections.
Mr. Lucas said the bill was of great
interest to his people. If it were taken
up by sections and discussed it wonld
take up the balance of the session. Toe
Dill is AS plain As the nose on mans
lace. There Is no necessity to vote on it
by sections. 1t has been carefully drawn.
No reason to take it up by sections. The
bill was taken up by sections.
Mr.. Gilman said the more light turned
on the more Objectionable the bill was.
IL increases the cost of oysters to the
consumer, because it prohibits all dredg-
4
industry. The bill violates one of the
fundamental provisions of our jurispru-
dence. No part of the first section is
just.
Mr. Lucas said he never sustained a
~lele~ " that WaS oppressive to the peo-
= u. :, & rOlina. In dealing with
Gel apctatn cla Cter8 desperate measures
ha to b, used He was here pleading
for the poor 0yStermen Of North Caro-
lima, who made tnelr nving by oysters.
When dredging is allowed it opens the
door for rascals to come IN. No man
had been before the committee against
the bill except attorneys hired by mon
: opoiists.
Mr. Gilman asked the Senator from
Hyde If the bill does not advocate dredg-
ing in some portions of Pamlico sound
, this matter should be enquired into.
Mr. Ches on admitted it seemed hare
Oh some. but North Carolina should no
protect few manufacturers to the det
riment of the poor oystermen. Dredging
. depietes the oyster grounds. He asked
in the interest Of those whose meat ant
bread depended on it that the bill pass
3 1t is q just bill. We should not enac
laws for the few but for the many.
Mr.. Parker said he lives about siXt
nles from the oyster waters He has
= received letters asking him to vOt
against dredging Three to one of th
) people of that section opposed dredging
+. The monopolies favor it.

conceded that tongS cannot operate :
