London, Feb. 26.-Lord Hardwicke. un- der Secretary for India, in the House of Lords today. replying to the request of Lord Reay. NiberaD for further informa- ton regarding the British exp dition to Thibet, said the government was deter mined to insist on a final settlement re- gardlng carrying out the terms of the con vention of 19o).
 The Thibetans had refused to have in- tercourse with Great Britain, but the re- suit of their continual intercourse with Russia had been to inspire the Thibetans with the feeling that they had Russia be- hind them and therefore they need not fear the British This situation the h. dian government and His Majesty's gov ernment could not tolerate for a moment.
 While Lord Hardwlcke refused to pledge the government regarding the limit of Colonel YounghusbanGs advance into Thibet, he said the mission was friendly and Colonel Younghusband would do nothing to promote hostilities

Gentlenen'S Spring Suits.


 The average Clothing stock is dreadfully monotonous. Sameness, sameness, same ness. Whatever the price there's deci- ded resemblance between all the styles. There's dead-level of mediocrity in quality, pattern and colorings. The gath ering here, however, affords relief. Nov city, novelty, novelty. We show an im-
 mense variety of swell effects. Our gar ments have all the extra touches that only painstaking and careful tailors give. Mo- tice the finishing. You've never seen better or finer. -.
 It is folly for you to buy before seeing this display. If you are staunch custo- mer of another store come and look at these for the sake of comparison. It will pay.

tirely to the negroes and to the less thrift ty class of small white farmers.
 A note of caution, however, Is sounded here and there in reference to the ten dency to spend the surplus earnings of the year in greater quantities of fertilizers and a larger number of mules indicating the planting ot a more extensive acreage, In spite of the hard lessons of ,adversity. But the general situation seems to be well summed up in a letter from a banker of the Middle South, who writes:
 Municipal improvements in the way of electric lights, water works and schools are increasing in all directions, and plant CTS and others who were willing a few years ago to live in houses without any comforts, now require all modern conven- fences, such as water, gas, electric lights, musical instruments and in fact. every thing that money and culture will de- mand. This applies to people in all walks of life, of course; however, it Is in pro- portion to their means that these com forts are indulged in. Comparing the price of cotton in 1S9S-$20 to $25 per bale with the average price received by the planter thls year-not less than $65 per bale on an average-cotton seed bringing $4 to $6 per ton more than 1t did a year ago, think you can set it down that the South will realize for her cotton crop and by-products, not counting the large num- Der of bales manufactured into cloth and yarns, at least $700, ,OOO.OC0. It is not only cotton that We realize upon now. but ev- cry manufacturing interest that can be thought of Is at present in the South and the number Is. being increased almost daily, giving employment to all kinds of labor. Many of these industries are car ried on by families. The South has been very free from strikes and this fact com mends 1t to those seeking new homes. Our schools are on good basis. our people law-abidlng and the right hand of fel- lowship is extended to everyone who To- cates among us, with or without money, who sh9ws a disposition to work and help build up this part of our great republic. :"
