SAW A BEAR.

While at the spring about 200 yards from Dr. Garver's resi- dence in Cotter Heights, says the Courier, Jesse Carver and Johnnie Seawell saw a cub bear and tried to catch it, but failed. There is cave near the spring and the probability is that the mother-bear is inhabiting it and would have made it interesting for the boys had they caught the cub. Here is a chance for those sportsmen who are in the habit of going to the Sylamore noun tains in search of bear to distin- guish themselves at home.

THlBETANS KILLED
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY RE-
 PORTED DEAD.
Collision With the Chinese is Feared. JOng Has Been Strongly Fortified by the
 Enemy.

New York. May u.-Mounted infantry men returned May to camp on the Karola and reported that they had killed 25O Thibetans during the pursuit after the force that opposed the advance of Colonel Younghusbands mission. says a Times dispatch from Gyang-Tse Thibet:
 There is some suspicion of coliusion be- tween the -Thibetans and the Chinese. Two English rifles were recaptured. one of which had been lost by Lieutenant Grant at Phari some months ago.
 The Thibetaks have strongly fortified Jong and opened fire upon every one ap- preaching the town. Some hundreds have taken residence in the monastery whence they have opened upon the British troops. Persons of importance ar rive daily at Jong, and LHassa sends in wide radius.
 In the attack on the mission compound. May 5, when eight servants were killed. the Thibetans actually gained the walls. Only their shouting betrayed them in time to prevent fndiscriminate slaughter of the post weakened by the detachment of men for an expedition. The defenders were quickly in position and drove off the invaders. The sick men in the hos pital insisted on joining the fighters and gave valuable assistance.
 The correspondent adds that Colonel Branders victory at Karola probably will have great effect. but 1t is clear the Thibetans contemplate combined effort to exterminate the mission.

Norwood. of Greenviile. N. c.
 President Roosevelt Is to receive the uera- bers of the association at the White House to-morrow President Heath in his address said the most serious condition now con fronting the. cotton manufacturers Is the high price of raw cotton. coupled with the small return for the manufactured pred uct Manufacturers are largely responsible fer this condition. he said. When the prlos of raw cotton began to go up recently they had told their customers that the increase was due to speculation and manipulation. This, he asserted. was not the case The high price of raw cotton was due solely to e response to the law of supply and de- mand. The scarcity of farm laborers In the South. due to the migration of the negro to the cities. is one of the serious conditions to meet. To meet 1t the immisration of Italian and other foreign labor will have to be encouraged.
 Touchiur m tha iahor ,,rof,ts,, n< Heath asserted that while the right Of labor to organise was not questioned neither should the right of capital to coshbine be questioned. The power of labor orxanlxs~ tions. he said. was being put st the present time to dangerous uses. It was msnacins individual rights; 1t was even askias fiaa Government to fix the hours of Iabor. These developments. he concluded, threat ened the very principles of the Govern ment

DIFFERENT MEETINGS
THE METHODIST GENERAL CON-
 FERENCE.
Rut Little Buni .fs%s Was Trnasncted at Yesterday's Meeting--The
 Anne lean Tract Society

Los Angeles, Cal. May 11.--Practi- cally no business was transacted by the Methodist General Conference today. The early morning session was devoted entirely to a consideration of the report of the Committee on Rules as reported by Rev Dr. T. B. Nicely. chairman. The reading and debating of the various sections governing the manner of trans acting business on the floor of the con ference and the references of motions and resolutions to committee took up the time of the convention until recess. at which time the report was left un- finished. After recess the duty of re- ceiying and welcoming fraternal dele gates which was not completed at yes terday's session, was taken up aud long addresses were made by Rev. William Dodoson, delegate from Canada, and Rev. J. C. Kilgore of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Dr. Kilgore aroused the enthusiasm of the dele gates to a degree not before reached in the General Conference by his elo- quent peroration. in which he asserted that no one could love the Stars and Stripes more than the people of the South At the conclusion of his address the audience rose at the request oe Bishop Andrews and sang America. |"
 The report of the Committee on Rules and order was presented by Dr. T. B. Nicely, chairman of the committee. Con- sideration of various paragraphs in which several changes were suggested resulted in a debate that at times was rather spirited. Paragraph 8, under the head of "Order of Business" which makes special reference to the dispO- sition of all motions and resolutions that come before the conference upon the call of the roll of annual confer ences. will be especially productive of cIashinR opinions.

of the Courts.
 New York, May 11.--By consent of the plaintiffs, the action against Mrs Therese Alice oeirichs and Mrs. Vir- ginia Vanderbilt. brought by Hannah E. Nelson, mother of Mrs. Charles l.. Fair, was dismissed here to-day by State Supreme Court Justice Bischoff. A final judgment was rendered in fa- vor of the defendants.
 Mir. and Mrs. Charles I. Fair were killed in an automobile accident n France in 1902. In a statement after the Judgment had been entered, the att torneys for Mrs. Nelson and her fam- fly made it known that a settlement satisfactory to both sides had been eff fected. They announced also that by common consent of the persons inter- ested the sum paid Hl final settlement would not be made public. The action was begun in February. 1908, to set aside the settlement made at San Francisco in August, 1903, between Mrs. Nelson and her family and Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt, sisters of Charles l. Fair, relative to the dis tribution of the estates of Mir. and Mrs. Fair.
 Under this settlement Mrs. Nelson received $125,000 and others of her family, who were plaintiffs with her in the action. received smaller sums. varying according to their relationship from Sl0.O00 to $1,600.
 Charles l. Fair left an estate valued at about $7.000.000 and 1t was main- tained by the Nelsons that he died be- fore his wife. to whom he had willed his entire estate in case she survived him.
 Mrs Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt maintained that Fair had survived his wife, and that under the provisions of his will, the property became theirs.

 Washington, May 11.---{Speciai. )-- The first announcement of any plan of the President for the summer was made today. It Is said that he will stay in Washington until July 1, after which he will go to Oyster Bay and will there receive the notification Of his nomination by the Chicago conven- ton. The injunction of the Republican leaders that Mir. Roosevelt would best keep as quiet as he cnn during the campaign is evidently to be respected by him. It Is announcei that he will have no communication with anybody except as the campaign committee may suggest or direct. The headquarters of the committee will be in New York and conveniens to Oyster Bay.
 It was about three weeks after the last national convention when the can- didates were formally notified of their nominations. Mir. Roosevelt was at Oyster Bay when Edward o. woicott of Colorado called upon him with a committee and spoke the notification piece. When 1t was over and Mir. Roosevelt had responded. he invited them H join him in grouping for a photograph.
