They say that neither they nor the
New England manufacturers will long
be able to compete with the south.
They are convinced that as fine finish

south as anywhere else, and say it is
only aquestion of time when the
south must take the lead Mr.. Hig-
son and other members of the party
will leave today for Chattanooga and
other points to be visited, and the oth-

The most important business of the
session was the final disposition OF
the amendment to the canon allowing
women to vote in parish meetings,
which has been discussed at four coun-
ellis. It was killed here by the votes
sof. the divided parishes being count
ed as in the negative.
a resolution presented by the Rev.
John Kersbaw at today's session, ex-
pressing symathy with the lockout
cotton operatives in Horse Creek Val

resolution called on the mill men to
reinstate the locked-out operatives.
It was thought that this was too far
for the Church to go in matter that
was questionable, so a resolution,
offered by the Rev 3. A. Joyner, was
apopted, expressing sympathy and
providing that an offering be taken

distress.

Waters OF Edisto Considered Ex-
celIent for the Purpos stab
lishment of Station in This
State Important.

Special to The State.
Washington, May l6.- Orangeburg
is already martialling her forces to
land the new ish cultural station pro-
Yiided for in Senator Tillman's bill
which has passed the senate and will
very probably pass the house this ses-
sion. he bill carries an appropria-
ton Of s25, eco for this purpose, but
leaves the selection OF a site tot the tlsn
commission. Repre- sentative Lever has
placed on file with the commission
a peti ition signed by the mayor and
leading citizens of 0rangeburg setting
forth the claims Of that town for the
new station and asking that. special
agent Be sent there TO go over the
ground andsreport to the commission
before site is determined upon, in
case Senator Tillman's bill becomes a
law. Representative Lever saw Com
missioner Bowers today and was as
sured that Orange eburg's claims would
have careful consideration and that
the suggestion Of an agent to inyesti-
gate the topograp Of that section
would probably be adopted.
Its seems that looking around for a
suitable site for such a station special
inqmr is made as 50 the abundance
Of the water supply. Wherever it is
possible, aSsite is selected upon a hill
from which flows a number Of clear
water streams. E5 is necessary that
these streams be Tree from refuse and
So located as to permit the establish
ing upon them the numerous ponds
connected with the station. Represen-
tative3L Levers Of the opinion that a
location admirably filing these
requirements is to be found just OUT
side the town Of Orangeburg on what
is known as Dukes fishery. In
talking today with Commissio
Bowers he outlined the advantage Of
locating a fish station there and fled
with him numerous papers and maps
the topography Of the coun-
try
Representative Lever said today that
hesc considers Orangebu chances ad-
for securing the fish station
andEif an agents sent down by the:
commission to look the ground over
he hopes tosaccompany him and assist
in showing MIN around.
The establ blishment Of a $4,000 fish
station IN the State means much for
South Carolina and while Orangeburg
would benefit especially y by having 1T.
placed there the entire State will en-
JOY its advantages.
