NOTICES Tu C</R —— — /<€&Po MJENTS U STUDENT."—The r a detailed r is too complex for You can A;č;wet. here. The saying, to Ind- see 'in India what you take anyv-' A& aw,4 that you can only see qi- what you take there, and conse- ..tly you can only see in a book that "i,cn in some form you have in yourself. The writer can only tell the reader what i TO some measure he already knows. The .young find every book fresh. The old find that most books are thrice-boiled cole- wort, and are glad for a new aspect once in a thousand pages. The way free trade comes up now is not the way it came up -in the forties. Wha", is true of free trade is true of other subjects. There is less difference than you think between the questions that agitated ancient Egypt and that agitate modern Europe. My ad- 1 vice is, whenever a question shapes itself in vour mind follow it up zealously. Get to know all y<*u can about it and do not make up your mind about it. Be fearless in getting to know and be very slow in onmino- to decisions. Everv question that arises in yoex mind is precious and should be met fearlessly. Most people never get anywhere because they are afraid. If 1 were asked what I have needed most in writing this column I would say courage. The student's way is thickly peopled with bogies-terrible bogies. "ONE OF THE CROWD."—I once more repeat what I have said many times, namely. that you can supply by your own efforts the virtues which you think are lacking in the world. Why should not you yourself do the brave, honest, disinterested ser- vice? The best way not to lose faith in' men is to live worthily yourself. "F.F."—Your responsibility depends on what you can do and not on what some- body thinks you ought to be able to do. Yoti must begin just where you are. I know a lot of people who think it would be easier to manage a nation than to man- age their own small affairs. You just try to manage your own business and the other things will grow.
HORRIBLE!
HORRIBLE! During the past week filth-strong, and alive with every abomination, has been spread on a field near the town of Aberystwyth. The people are helpless. The stench is intolerable. The danger is inconceivable. What is to be done? The health of the whole district has been imperilled and nobody does anything! Life may not be worth much, but ought not to be made a positive curse in this way. Where is the Medical Officer of the rural district ? Yes, where? This infliction ought not to be borne, but where has the stuff been in the meantime. Yes, where? ABO UT ('ONSCRII'TION. In less than a week the Duke of Connaught and Sir Redvers Buller have both referred to conscription as a way of meeting the demand for a large army. I do not believe in large armies, and war to me is an utterly senseless thing, but there is the fact that war is common and armaments absorb hundreds of millions of pounds a year besides keeping millions of men from earning the means for their own maintenance. I have been thinking a good deal about the way this country is always at war with some- body, and, what is also bad, the way large sec- tions of the people are always yelling for war. Conscription is a very serious thing, but so is war, and the question is whether conscrip- tion with all its evils is not more conducive to peace and economy and right national action than our present system of free enlistment under which cowardly jingoes can yell for war and then when it is brought about can abstain from doing any fighting. Under conscription these yelling jingoes would have to go to war, and they would know that they could not avoid the risk of death as they can avoid it now. It is a serious thing that young men should be called up yearly by force to serve in the army, but on the other hand is it not a serious thing that the wastrels and fighting men of the country should make a sport of national defence and treat the shooting of men as superior to pheasant or rabbit shooting! In France and Germany where conscription is in force there is less demand for war than here where one set of men do the shouting and another set do the fighting. The young men of Germany and France know something of what war means even in times of peace. In this country young men know nothing but the pride of uniforms and the glory of official rank. Conscription is looming. I am not sure that it would be altogether an evil thing. Perhaps it will be less evil than the present system with its waste and its blatancy and its cowardly evasions. If conscription existed war would at once send a pang into tens of thousands of homes which are now impervious to its horrors. An army largely composed of men who were forced to serve would be less willing to prolong war than an army composed of those who like fight- ing for fighting's sake. I believe that women are largely responsi- ble for war. They are in no danger, and they promote war in ways that I need not here en- large upon. If women were forced to go to the front and were as liable as men to be slain we should hear less of this form of brutality. Women are in favour of war: that I hold to be their shame. I see the shame, the suffering, the wrong of conscription, but what about the shame and suffering and wrong of the present system? Ought not the crime of war to be brought home to every household as only conscription I could bring it home? STRONG AND VERY NASTY. Whence cornea this dreadful stink that fills our noses? What! Don't you know? This is the scent of roses? Roses! Of course. I have not understood I thought it oame from rotting guts and blood. Roses or putrid offal, this I know, 'Tia strong enough to lay the stoutest low. WHATEVER BE YOUR WISDOM. Preaching in St. Ann's Church, Manchester, the other day, the Rev. Prebendary Allen Whitworth spoke of the responsibility of the voter." He urged his hearers to take some definite part in the great social movements of the day; to employ their power of voting and influencing others as a sacred trust for which they must give an account. What- ever be your wisdom," he said, "let the State have the benefit of it." Speaking incidentally of the attitude of Churchmen to public ques- tions, he said Some bid us to put Church before party in the exercise of the suffrage. If this means we are to have no regard to so- cial righteousness or individual justice, that we are to ignore our civil responsibilities and sacrifice principles of right for the sake of an ecclesiastical system, that would be an unholy counsel. Let right prevail, whatever it may cost, between oppressor and oppressed, nation and nation, party and party, class and class." I I wish it were possible for me to enforce what the Rev. Prebendary Allen Whitworth says. What we want in order to save the people is that we should care more for them and less for our own opinions. There is wrong and misery and suffering and unhappiness in the land and we are wrangling about creeds and candles and all sorts of things which we do not understand instead of lifting the people out of the slough of their own lives. I do not agree with many people in their religious opinions, and I do not ask them to agree with me in mine, but I will help any- body to improve the conditions of the people's lives and will not ask them a question whether they are Conformist or Nonconformist, whe- ther they are Liberal or Conservative. All sorts of people read this column. Why not? I do not know the Rev. Prebendary Allen Whitworth and probably never shall know him, but I hold myself to be a felloiv- I wolfker with him, and I wish him God speed although he will never know that I have thought about him. A HARD CASE. 'I 1_- Mr. Vaughan Davies, 1 thmK mistakeiiiv,, 1 imagines that somebody has accused him per- sonally of slaying the North Cardiganshire1 Agricultural Society. Who is the persotfi that has so accused Mr. Vaughan Davies?, He was not present when the cruel deed was done, and why should he be blamed, and why should he take upon himself the blame unnecessarily? If Mr. Vaughan Davies is the man I take him to be. he will say that the North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society shall not be slain and then everybody will fall on everybody else's neck and we shall live happily for ever after-! wards in the most approved fashion of the popular novel. I have had a Pembrokeshire paper sent to me in which one of the speakers at a meeting of the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society said that lie thought in a matter of a National Sooiety the premier county of Wales ought to have been consulted. This is just what the members of the North Cardiganshire Agricul- tural Society think, namely, that they ought to have been consulted before being executed. I am told that almost all the agricultural societies in Wales repudiate the presumptious action of the individuals who have made a mess of this business, but I never heard of anybody who blamed Mr. Vaughan Davies. He took the thing to himself on Monday. I am dead against the slaughter of the North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society and .so are most of the members. GOOD ADVICE. "Buy direct from the mills at wholesale prices is the advice given in an advertise- ment published in a London newspaper, and then follows a local address not far from my bit of a place from which no mills of any sort are visible to me. Queer things WHO ARE YOU? Remember that all which you keenly desire Is ardently longed for by others than you; Why should you, more than they, be warmed at life's fire? Human nature is one, just one, through and through. You take what is good, what is soft, what is sweet, And think those outside should be thankful to live; Why for you should the best be laid at your feet ? Whilo crumbs to those others you grudgingly give. Who are you, to be saved from storm and from cold ? Why are you to be fed on choicest of cates ? While those are cast out from the warmth of the fold Neglected of God and the sport of the fates. I have looked in the eyes of men who are starved, And seen the sad faces of wantons at night, Far grimmer than any that men ever carved— And you! Why should you spend your days in delight? Who are you ? What are you ? And is there a God? Who are they ? What are they ? And is there a hell ? It may be, when all of us lie 'neath the sod, An answer may come. What it is who can tell? IF IT WERE POSSIBLE? A newspaper paragraph states that the re- presentatives appointed by the central govern- ing bodies of the Canadian Churches met at Toronto, and unanimously agreed that the time had arrived for the union of the Presby- terian, Methodist, and Congregational Churches met at Toronto. If a union of this sort were possible, not only in Canada but in this and other countries, how much good might be done and how much wasted energy might be saved. There are small towns all over this and other countries where the religious forces are divided in rivalry. Roman Catholics can never join other sects, nor can other sects join them. The Church of England cannot join other sects, nor can other sects join them. Wesleyans must, perhaps, stand apart, and so must Baptists, but there is apparently no reason why Presbyterians, Methodists other than Wesleyans, and Congregationalists should not unite. The curious thing, however, is that religious bodies are increasing in number rather than decreasing. What is most possible, I some- times think, is that the whole of the churches including Catholics and the Church of England should lower their walls of separation so as not to be jealous of each other's progress. Why should one denomination try to hinder another from working in a district ? In this country the people need redemption and what does it matter to anybody whether they are redeemed by Catholics, or the Church of England, or by Baptists or Methodists, or Congregationalists? Let each department of Christ's Church have its own views and its own observances, but let them be as regiments in the great army of progress keeping one end in view—the amelioration of the condition of the people. It is a strange thing that the greatest hatred and the bitterest strife arise about those things which nobody can ever know—what fol- lows death and what precedes life. The Coast. J.G.

He has puo- lished at least two volumes. The Castle Grounds.—the camera obscura on the Castle Grounds was removed yesterday (Thursday) and the Council are to be congratu- lated on the artistic piece of masonry which has recently been constructed as a retaining wall.

Massey, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Massey. Mrs Wilkinson and Miss Wilkinson were un- able to attend the funeral and much sympathy is felt with them in their sad bereavement. Messrs Owen Brothers were the undertakers. The coffin was of polished oak with brass fur- niture. Divorce Proceedings.—In the Divorce Divi- sion on Monday the President had before him the undefended petition of Mrs Anne Richard- son (formerly Morgan) for a divorce by reason of the desertion and misconduct of her hus- band, Mr. Richard Edward Richardson. Mr Griffith Jones appeared for the petitioner, who said that she was married to the respondent on the 27th of July, 1889, at the Tabernacle Chapel, Aberystwyth. She and her husband afterwards lived in the neighbourhood of Aber- ystwyth, at which time he followed the occu- pation of a cattle dealer. He gave up that business and obtained employment as a carter in London. He was much given to intemper- ance, and was also indolent. They lived toge- ther for three years, and when he got out of employment she arranged to go on a short visit to her parents in North Wales. Last week, accompanied by Margaret Vaughan, she went to some collieries near Wrexham and identified her husband. Margaret Vaughan, of Crabtree Cottage, near Wrexham, said that she made the acquaintance of the respondent at Wrexham, and under promise of marriage, ho seduced her. She had a miscarriage. Dur- ing the whole time she knew him he had been in regular employment. She had received a letter from him promising to marry her.—The President granted a decree nisi, with costs and custody of the child of the marriage. Summer Entertainments.—After about a dozen meetings of over an hour's duration I I 1 I- each, at which all sorts of obstacles in the way of canvassing, wire-pulling, and local in- terests had to be combatted, the Entertain- ments Committee have at last settled the agreement with Mr. J. H. Rowe for the pro- vision of a band^for the summer months and Mr. Rowe has also approved the agreement. In order to avoid difficulties which experience has shown to result from haphazard arrange- ments, the Town Clerk drafted a strict and business-like agreement, which will secure effi- ciency in the instrumentalists, the proper maintenance of the band at its full strength, four hours a day performance at stands in- dicated by the Committee, and the personal conduct by the bandmaster for the whole time the band is engaged by the Corporation so that the bandmaster will not be able, with- out a penalty, to throw up his baton in the middle of the season. The band is to be what is known as a military band of brass and reed, will play morning and evening, and be composed of eight efficient professional musi- cians and ten efficient local musicians, so as to be able to produce the best class of music with tone and effect and not confine its reper- toire to hymn tunes and polkas. By the en- gagement of first-class instrumentalists for the leading parts, it is hoped that local instru- mental music will be instructed and encour- aged so that in future years it will be possi- ble to increase the local element in the band and keep the money in the town," which now perforce has to be paid away, though even outside instrumentalists, will have to live dur- ing their stay at Aberystwyth. As at present arranged, a band of eight will play for two hours in the morning on the bandstand and a band of eighteen will play three evenings a week on the band-stand, one evening on South- terrace, one evening on the Castle Promenade, and one evening on Penbryn. The agreement with Mr. Gilbert Rogers for the provision of a minstrel troupe has not yet been settled, but it is expected it will be ready for execution at the meeting of the Council on Tuesday. COUNTY COFRT. Thursday March 10th. Before his Honour Judge Wm. Evans. An Ola1 Case.—Mr A. J. Hughes mentioned the case of John Griffiths, Joppa. Llanrhvstyd. against whom an order for £ 130 16s. 2d. was obtained at the High Court. Defendant had been committed to prison for contempt and the Judge granted the application that he should be communicated with for the purpose of ascertaining whether he had money or not. Bicycle Damaged.—William A. Doughty, claimed R4 as damages to his bicycle from Mr James B. Lewis, Blue Gardens. Mill-street.— Mr. O. Stanley Jones appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. T. J. Samuel defended.—It appeared that the bicycle, which had only been bought second hand about six. W&oltfs before being damaged and elled', was practically wrecked foy be- ing run over by defendant's cart-. Plaintiff said he was employed as a stoker at the Electric ,a Light Works and w&s in the thibit c)f allowing his bicycle at the entrance or the Work's yard in lower end of which defendant had premises. Outside the ordinary cartWJi&j the position of the bicycte left about feet space tor the defendant's lurry to pass, and the place had been used for storing bicycles for the past seven years.—Defendant's contention was that the road was the right of way of the Aberystwyth Improvement Company and his cart having swerved came across something which he did not see in the dark.—The Judge said he could not see why it was necessary for the cart to swerve inside the yard. He added that the real issue was whether the accident could be avoided by reasonable care.—Defendant was called and said he was a coal and coke dealer and had stables in the yard1. He maintained that the bicycle was in the usual place and if it was against the ivall the cart could not have touched it. The lamp at the entrance was not lit and there was no other light in the yard.—Judgment was given for defendant, his Honour remarking that there -was not sufficient evidence of negligence. Damages for Assault.Sarah Jones, spin- ster, Bwlchybrynar, Ystumtuen, sued Thomas Jenkins, farmer, Penrhur, Ystumtuen, for JE20 as damages for assault. Defendant put in a counter claim for £ 10 for damages sus- tained in consequence of plaintiff having re- peatedly between May 12th and February 25th last wrongfully diverted the water from a leet leading to defendant's farm. A special jury had been empanelled.—Mr. T. J. Samuel, who appeared for the plaintiff, said sh was struck on the back of the head by the defendant who had a spade in his hand on November 14th.—In her evidence plaintiff said she saw Jenkins with a servant lad in her field cutting up the soil and when she asked him to stop he struck her with a spade without saying anything. She had been suf- fering for five weeks. She denied ever di- verting the leet and there had never been any dispute between her and defendant.Ooss- examined by Mr A. J. Hughes, who defended, witness remembered sending for a policeman three years ago, but she denied saying that if the constable did not take her part she would throw stones against Jenkins and make him pay for having attempted to abuse her. Plain- tiff's brother said that he asked Jenkins why he struck his sister and was told it was be- cause she had diverted the water. Jenkins also threatened to drown him if he would not be quiet.—Mr. Hughes: But you are still alive? (Laughter.)—Dr. Morgan, North Parade, described the injuries, which might have been serious. Defendant complained of giddiness.—Sergt. Phillips deposed seeing defendant the morning after the accident.— A slip of paper was handed to the Jury by Mr. Hughes, who desired to keep the circum- stances private. His contention was that the assault was pure imagination and such things were frequent—whether it was due to moun- tain air or not—about some twopenny half- peny ditch in the hifls. The medical evidence only showed that there was a slight abrasion and a black eye, which were quite inconsist- ent with the blow described by plaintiff. If as she said Jenkins had struck her with the spade with all his force she would not be pre- sent to tell the tale.—Defendant said plaintiff attempted to strike him with a stone. He never touched her with the spade. When trying to lift a stone she fell on her face against a stone bridge. Defendant's state- ment was corroborated by Harry Curtin, ser- vant boy. He denied that his master had done anything to plaintiff's brother.—The Jury found a verdict for the defendant and the counter claim was withdrawn. COLLEGE MUSICAL SOCIETY. The annual concert of the College Musical Society was held on Wednesday, when a per- formance of The Golden Legend," together with a miscellaneous part, were given. There was a large and fashionable attendance in the Pavilion and the concert turned out fully satisfactory. The artistes were Miss Maucl Waite, London (soprano); Miss Ethel Iza Lea, U.C.W., contralto; Mr. Gwilym Richards, R.A.M., tenor; and Mr. David Hughes, bass; and the accompaniment was provided by the College Orchestra, augmented by the Charles Halle. Orchestra Mr. Bertie Ollerhead was the leader of the orchestra, Mr. D. J Do Llovd. B.A., proved an efficient accompanist, and the duties of conductor were performed by Mr. David Jenkins, Mus. Bac. Great praise is due to the Society for having undertaken the performance and local music lovers are in- debted to them for relieving the monotony of winter by producing excellent musical treats annually. Professor Edwards is president of the Society, while Messrs. David Hughes and W. O. Edwards are secretaries. The old Latin legend of the thirteenth century has been ad- mirably interpreted into English by Long- fellow, from whose poem the oratoria was adopted by Mr. Joseph Bennett and set to music by Sir Arthur Sullivan. Lucifer was enacted by Mr. David Hughes and in the pro- logue is represented hastening his spirits to wreck the cathedral of Strasburg. That the part was splendidly executed by the well-known singer, whose capability is now highly recog- nised, goes without saying, and he gave a comprehensive effect to the part he took Princo Henry appeared anxious for the deep tranquility of endless sleep," and Mr. Gwilym Richards was successful in performing a diffi- cult task which required much dramatic skill and force. His expression was a distinctive feature and his powers were considerably tested in the third scene, but in the duetts with Miss Waite and in the solos his efforts were greatly appreciative. Miss Waite, who acted Elsie, the devoted maiden, possessed a wonderful voice-, which she managed to con- trol with ease in the most trying instances and her inging of "My Redeemer and My Lord,' 'wa remarkably fine. Her voice was heard to the best advantage, however, at the close of the third act and she was deservedly applauded after describing the calm and cloudless night. As Prince Henry and Elsie were heroes of the legend so, undoubtedly, were Mr. Richards and Miss Waite heroes of the performance. The contralto part was not so extensive as to necessitate the engagement of a pecial artiste, but Miss Lea. who is at the College, though not very effective in control- ling it, possessed a rich voice and her singing was not inappropriate to the part she was responsible for. On the part of the choir there was an apparent want of enthusiasm which. indeed, was only redeemed at the end and the tenors were somewhat weak in com- bination. The choir could. however, put forth a volume of voice commendable both in quality and quantity. The performance was followed by a miscellaneous programme, opened by an overture from VVeher by the Orchestra. Al- though it was announced that the concert was to finish at half past ten and that no encores would be allowed, the audience persisted in re-calling Miss Waite and Mr Hughes, whose singing was a treat in itself. The orchestra, of local and professional instrumentalists, in the abence of combined practice, performed its task with satifaction to the audience, the strings and reeds being particularly effective.
LLANON
LLANON Parish Meeting.—A parish meeting for Llansantffraid was held on AIonday evening to select parish councillors for the next three years. As the Chairman of the Parish Coun- cil as a canelidate, i\lr J. R-. Davies, Levant cil was a candidate Mr J. R. Davies, Levant House, was called upon to preside. Lack of enthusiasm was evinced and the attendance was small. Fifteen candidates were duly nominated for thirteen seats. When the time to allow questions to the candidates to he put came Captain W. S. Jones, Carlton House, asked for the views of each candidate with regards to the erection of a reading room at Waent-robwll. All the candidates present answered in the affirmative if the deeds allowed the procedure. Voting was then proceeded with and the following were elected:—Messrs W. Hughes, Macsgwyn; John Thomas, Bel- mont; Richard Richards, Tyllwyd; D. Jones, Albion; J. Jones, Fronfoel; D. Lloyd-Morris, Sunny Hill; Jas. L. Rowlands, Pantanam- Iwg; W. Evans, Felinfach Daniel Davies, Star T. Evans, Trialmawr; D. Evans, Peris Terrace; L. E. Evans. Tyncoed; and T. Ed- wards, Panthwylog. On the names being put to the meeting, the unsuccessful candidates Messrs T. Evans. Sunny Cottage, and DI. Ed- wards, Greengarden, and also Mr. W. Davies, Llanbadarn Villa; demanded a poll; but as the required five were not made up, there will be no election in this district to the ad- vantage of the social equilibrium of the com- munity. Success.—Mr. W. Evans, son of Mr. Evan Evans, Ontario. has lately been successful in passing the examination for a master mar- iner's certificate. Temperance.—On Friday evening the Rev. Morris Morgan, Swansea, delivered a telling address on the connection between the Gov- ernment of the day and the "Trade," educa- tion, protection, and Yellow" labour. Pamphlets were distributed at the end. PAel-.(-arsal.-The rehearsal for the Llanon district was held at Penrhiw Chapel on Fri- day evening. The weather being rough and the ground clad with snow, the attendance was not large, but as large as could be ex- pected. Mr. Davies, Ciliau Park Board School, acted as condutcor, and most of the pieces were creditably rendered.
NOTES FROM ABERAYRON
NOTES FROM ABERAYRON The dozen boats and smacks which have closely and comfortably nestled together at Pivll Cam" during the winter are beginning to part company. Three or four have actu- ally spread their wings and flown. March has shaken the earth and roared like a lion. Sunday and Monday, the wind had a knack of taking hold' of the house as if it meant to pull it up from its foundations. Then it divided its massed forces into units. These units sought every hole and crevice and en- tered the house from a thousand directions at one moment. There was no escape by the fire or even in bed, for it creeped between skin and flesh. Then the rain came on Monday evening and soothed its nerves, turning the savage east wind into western zephyrs. Those smacks know their seasons. Not better than the blackbird, who broke the chill of last Sun- day's cold but bright evening, with a warm baritone song. It was the first appearance of this singer this season. He was in excel- lent voice and was rapturously applauded. There is a spirit of indifference abroad in respect of the constitution of our Town Coun- cil (Urban District Council) which is injurious to our municipal progress and self-respect. It is reported in town that Messrs Rob- erts and Evans ,solicitors, Aberystwyth. and Mr Thomas Davies, Compton House, Aberay- ron, are returning to the management, etc, of the Monachdy Estate, which position they held before for thirteen years. This is in conse- qence of Mr. Alban Gwvnne's death and the property reverting to the family. Such is the irony of fate! This paragraph is from the daily papers and is interesting, because the Earl of Shannon resides at Monachdy: — "Irish Town for Sale The town of Castlemartyr, County Cork, is at present for sale through the medium of the Court of Chancery. The township forms a portion of the estate of the Earl of Shannon, and the householders and tenants of the aci- joining land comprised within the boundary area are taking steps to purchase their houses and holdings with a view to becoming absolute owners. The inhabitants of the town have arranged to be represented in the Land Judges' Court, Dublin, on April 18th, the date of the sale, to make an offer for the purchase of the entire town." It is a coincidence that the owners of the Monachdy Estate offered the whole of the town of Aberayron for sale once, that is to say, the ground rents, with the reversion in fee of the rack rentals, of the dwelling houses, shops, buildings, building sites, garden lands, and premises, with the seaport, its dues and tolls and other payments included in the Manor of Llys- wen. This was in the year 1883. The town and manor, including harbour, was offered in one lot. Only one bid was made by the late Colonel Lewes, of Llanllear. for £ 24,000. and the lot was withdrawn. It was at this sale that the farms of Abermarles. Ffoes, Rhiw- goch. Dolaugwartheg, Llyswern, College, Dolhir, Bryngwyn, JLlansantffraid, and a large number of minor buildings were sola1, the total amount realized being £ 8,180. THE COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION. The poll was taken at the Town Hall on Saturday. The 271 people who recorded their votes did so from the stroke of eight in the morning till the stroke of eight in the even- ing in a continuous dribble. There was no crash or excitement at any time. The day was bitterly cold and sometimes drizzly. The infirm and people in ill-health used carriages. The presiding officer, Mr B. C. Jones, and his clerk Mr Griffith Evans, completed the count- ing in a very short time, the result being an- nounced in less than three-quarters-of-an-hour. Mr E. Lima Jones (old member). 168; Captain Daniel Jones, 100; spoilt votes. 3. Mr. E. Lima Jones has been a member of the County Council for nine years and has fought in three contested elections. In 1895 he defeated Mr J. T. Evans. Bristol House. In 1898. he was returned unopposed. In 1901, lie defeated the Rev. T. Gwilym Evans. On the present occasion, he was supported by the Rev. T. Gwilym Evans-so mystical to the unsophisticated are the workings of elections! The conditions and relations of parties and religious communities, to all appearances, off- ered the chances of capturing the seat to Capt Daniel Jones two months back. He was allured by the prospect of certain success. But when the declaration of war had been made a: d the forces were consolidated for actual war- fare, it was plain to anyone conversant with the register, that Mr. Lima Jones would secure a majority of from fifty to sixty. This predic- tion was fulfilled. Both candidates are Non- conformists and members of the same church Captain Daniel Jones has been since the Home Kule split, an avowed Unionist, and although he declared in favour of the Welsh campaign policy against the Education Act his Unionism was used both against him and for him by different people. Captain Jones was a strong candidate and under the later conditions of the fight, it will be admitted that he did exceed- ingly well by polling 100 votes. Mr E'. Lima Jones is left after three trying contests the master of the situation and his knowledge of electioneering under all kinds of conditions make him a combatant dangerous to tackle and difficult to vanquish. But he may move out of the way of aspirants. He has a prior claim to an aldermanship and, if he avails himself of it, then the seat which he has so valiantly defended may again be a tempting prize for those who have an eye on it. THE ETHICS OF ELECTIONEERING. That a man may sign the nomination paper of one candidate, but vote for another. That a man may promise both candidates and fulfil his promise by putting a cross after the name of each. That in districts where there are experienced representatives like Mr Morgan Evans, or Dr. Lewis, or Mr E. Lima Jones. it would be well to hustle them out of their seats. There is a school which holds this theory and there is an exponent of it at C- To this school change is the cardinal virtue. There are .sixty-four members of the County Council. Of the sixty-four, there are only eight or nine who have been members from its establish- ment. There is, therefore, much change but not enough. Death removes many, but he is slow. The result of precipitating a change every three years would be to transfer the direction of affairs to officials, but why not ? In the Board of Guardians and, Rural District Council for the next three years, there will, presumably, be enough change to please this school. A good pastor, or servant, or member of Parliament is appreciated and kept, but a good county councillor should vacate his seat in order to train his successor, and when his successor is trained, he should again make room for another apprentice. According to this school, the eligible men in each parish should have their turn, and assum- ing that there are one hundred such people in a parish, the last man's turn would come in about 350 years. When a member of one particular sect has the monopoly for a considerable time, then it is certainly quite reasonable that the other sect should start an opposing candidate. When there is only one sect in the ascendant in the district and a member of one section of that denomination has been elected for a term, it is time for the other section to look out for a candidate to oust him. When the Church presumes to have claims for representation, it requires no argument to make it plain to the most ordinary intelligence that it is only right that all the sects should join together to give the Church the quietus. Wliei-o there are no churches or chapels very much in evidence in municipal affairs, then, in order to cultivate the instinctive combative- ness of our race, two clans enter the arena and challenge one another. Suspicion, jeal- ousy, and revenge are still potent elements in our wars as in the days of our ancient chief- tains. A constant state of war, or prepara- tion for war, in which the soldiers change sides no one knows when, is calculated to devedop the qualities of alertness, of cunning, sometimes of courage. After several keen contests, at at Aberayron, where causes are hardly mentioned, electioneer- ing is a gam of skill. Canvassing is a cleverly played game of billiards. In days gone by, e.g.. in 1888. large meetings of electors were held1 long before nomination day. public questions were discussed, and a candidate was selected. In 1901, a similar course was adopted, but the candi- date so selected were deliberately op- posed. Jver since the individual is tne judge of his own fitness and prowess" and every thing is for the best in the best of possible worlds." This cynicism does not prevail every- where and is not a healthy normal condition. Blessed are they who have not onlv two men. but two policies to chose from. It eases the defeat of the defeated. It brings a spirit of chivalry into the contest. Such was the fight at Nantcwnlle. The two men stood high in one ..another's estimation and in the estimation of ah the electors, and will alwavs stand so. Dr. Jenkvn Lewis, medical officer of health for the I/lansantffread District, which covers the parishes of Llanddewi Aberarth. Upper Henfynyw, Unner Llansantffread Llanbadarn Trefeglwvn, Cilcennin. Llanfihangel Ystrad. Cilie Aeron, and Llanerchaeron, has just sent in his annual report to the Aberayron Urban District Council. It contains some vivid writ- ing which he uses to enforce the necessity for a portable travelling isolation ward to be used on the occasions of outbreak of infectious dis- cases. The periodical pollution of wells at the village of Llansanffread by "malevolent per- sons" is described, in very explicit terms. The increasing importance of exercising a close supervision over the milk supply is very strik- ingly put. All that modern science has to say on the suppression of consumption is said by Dr. Lewis, so that every man may understand and with a force that ought to impress the truth on people's minds. Dr. Evans's report on the state of health and sanitary conditions of the district of Llansilio is also printed on an- other page. But until the Rural Council meets on another day than the Board of Guard- ians day very little progress can be made with the important work committed to its charge. Do the people understand that the Board of Guardians occupies the time for two or three hours from eleven o'clock on meeting days and that afterwards those guardians, now sitting as rural councillors, face the vast duties of deal- ing with corespondence. reports of road sur- veyors, of medical officers' reports, of in- specors of nuisances' reports and innum- erable offshoots from these branches? They cannot be dealt with when councillors are fagged out and properly anxious to get home.

Mention should be made of the yeoman ser- vices of the Clerk (Mr. James Williams). At- tention was called to the District Council election. Mr. Morris said that he and Mr. Jenkins had always pulled together and that they had endeavoured at all times to do their duty without respect of creed or party. He hoped he would have their support again. Mr Jenkins, who had met with an accident was not present. A cordial vote of thanks to the two members was accorded for their past ser- vices. The usual votes of thanks were passed.
