Mr. Pincombe re- ceived nine votes, and Mr. Gwilym Jones, solicitor, Mountain Ash, seven votes. Mr J. M. Linton, the present acting clerk, was not a candidate.

Linton in 1886, and be- came managing clerk in 1892.

For some years past he has had much to do with the Council'work of Mountain Ash, attending Council and committee meetings, conducting the correspond- ence and the elections, and for a long period he acted as deputy clerk and accountant.

Grand Theatre, Aberaman. Terrific Success of "The Whip." Of all the big successful shows that have been put on at the Grand, un- doubtedly The Whip" is the great- est. In spite of the difficulties entailed in mounting such a huge production, the performance was carried out in its entirety and without a hitch on Mon- day night. The plot of the Whip is a rattling good sporting story in which virtue (and some thoroughbred horse- flesh) triumph at the finish. The for- tunes of a good many people depend upon the racehorse named "The Whip," winning the Two Thousand Guineas, and, incidentally, the fortunes of some others depend upon the mare losing. Various attempts are made to bring this about, the most daring being the un- coupling of the horse-box in which "The Whip" is travelling, so that it will be smashed to pieces by the following train and the mare killed. After she has been rescued in the nick of time another attempt'to prevent her running is schemed out, and her jockey arrested on a false charge just as the saddling hell is ringing. The sportsmen around defy the law, and insist on having a run for their money, and the jockey is allowed to ride. After a "hammer and tongs" finish the "Whip" gallantly draws away and wins a terrific race by half a length. Mr. Dance has sent a first-class company in every way, and the piece had a most enthusiastic recep- tion by a packed house on the opening night. Miss Maisie Richardson gives a good picture of the typical fresh young sportswoman, and makes a sympathetic heroine. Lord Beverly, as interpreted by Mr Harry Campbell, is a good char- acter study of the old sporting peer who runs his horses for the sheer love of them and not as a gambling medium. Mr Ernest James, as the Earl of Man- caster, is another nobleman of the same type. Mr C. V. Sandford (Tom Lambert, the trainer of the Whip) and Miss N. Neilson (the Honourable Mrs. Beamish) provide an acceptable quiet comedy element full of good humour. Mr Sandford and Mr Corrie, with the "nasty kid," get some roaring fun out of the scene at the Waxworks. The scheming Mrs. D'Aguila is carefully played by Miss Julie Kennard, who in- fuses the part with just the touch of the sinister adventuress that it calls for. Mr Douglas Campbell is good as Anson, the jockey, and makes the most of his scene with the villainous Greville Sartorys when he discovers his sister at the latter's rooms. Myrtle Anson is pathetically portrayed by Miss Hilda Plowright. A lot of work falls on Mr King Fordham as the "wrong 'un," Captain Greville Sartorys. Mr. Ford- ham's picture of the easy-going debon- air scamp is very good indeed, the heavier melodramatic incidents being handled with artistic restraint. Mr Wingrave is good as Kelly, the book- maker and Mr Corries, Yorkshireman, is both clever and funny. The horses are quite a picture, and are a credit to Mr. Eaton, who has charge of them. The railway collision is most realistic, but the gem of the scenic portion is the exciting race for the "Two Thousand." This is quite a masterpiece of stage work, and the sight of the thorough- breds galloping at breakneck speed in a desperate finish is really thrilling. There will be a matinee on Saturday at 2.30 (doors open at 2), the performance being exactly the same as given at night. Patrons of the Grand will be delighted to know that the popular assistant manager, Mr. Parker, has returned to Aberaman, and will occupy his former position at the Theatre.

Thanks was proTwsed to the chairman and also to the officers of Heolvfelin (B.) Church for the loan of the chapel bv the Rev. J. D. Rees, Salem. Mr D. B. Davies was promised to the chairman, and also seconded. The secretarial work was well performed by Mr David Williams.

TRECVNON BETHEL. Special services were I held on Sunday and Monday at Bethel Congregational Church, of which the Rev. E. J. Gruffydd is pastor. The officiating ministers were the Revs. Rowland Hughes, B.D., Tylorstown, and Edward Jones, M.A.. B.D.. Rhyl, •late of Dowlais. On Monday afternoon the Rev. E. Jones preached an English' sermon, based on Matt. vii. 27. In the course of an excellent address the rev. gentleman remarked that no one but I Christ could have ended his sermon in such a manner. The modem preacher at the close of his sermon generally left his audience in the seventh heaven. The two principal notes in that great pattern sermon were sincerity and sympathy. The sinner was likened unto a foolish man, which built his house on the sand. We must all be doers of the Word and not hearers only. This remark applied to the. pul- pit as much ns the pew. "Practise what yon preach was as imperative as "Practise what you hear." There was an element of stubbornness in man. Judas Tscariot was privileged to hear the words from the Master's own sacred lins, but he was a hearer with- out being a doer. We should see to it that the seeds of our characters were sown deeper down than the intellect j or the emotion, right down into the will of each of us. Then when. the rains descended and the floods came we should be able to withstand, for we should be bnilt upon the rock, and that rock was Christ.

It is a delicious piece of acting, played with consummate skill. Gladys Hobbs. the famous contralto soloist, is a great success at Hirwain; as she is at every hall visited by her. In the picture programme are the star films: "Benger of Company B," a fine Army drama, and Fighting Chance," depicting a faithful tragedy of love and devotion. Foremost in comedy are "On his Wedding Day Tis best to be Natural," and Hiram buys Auto," which delight large audiences nightly.

CLYN NEATH. BETHANIA (C.M.). The half- yearly meetings of the above chapel were held on Sunday and Monday, when the officiating ministers were Dr. Cynddylan Jones and the Rev. D. Jones, Crynant. STREET WORKS. The justices of Neath county on Friday heard objec- tions to the apportionment of expendi- ture in connection with proposed im- provements by the Neath Rural Dis- trict Council under the Private Street Works Improvement Act at Glynneath. Mr Williamson, Cardiff, objected on be- half of the Whitting Estate, on the ground that the proposed works were unreasonable, and the expense ex- cessive. The cost of the scheme was estimated at £ 1,234, and the amount affecting the Whitting Estate < £ 124. The justices granted the order in favour of the Council, and also ordered that a sum of eight guineas costs should be divided between the 67 persons who ob- jected. DEBATING CLASS SOCIAL. — On "Wednesday evening, the 3rd inst., the Glynneath Debating Class held a social to celebrate the festival of St. David. The following toasts were honoured: — "Royalty," proposed by Mr Jenkin Jenkins, responded to by Mr ldris Davies; The Society," Mr Jenkin Davies and Mr Robert Jones; "The Ladies," the Vicar of Aberpergwm and Miss E. Edwards; The Gentlemen," Miss G. Jones and Mr Ben Harries; St. David," Mr Evans, M.E., and Mr W. J. Williams. FOOTBALL. Glynneath have lost in their two last matches, both away from home, against Merthyr and Bryn- cethin. This is not surprising, con- sidering the constant drain on the talent of the club through losing their best players. However, a very strong team is being got together for what will be the biggest atraction of the season, the match against Ammanford next Sat- urday on the Abernant Field. Here is Glynneath's opportunity of accom- plishing what Resolven has failed to do on successive Saturdays. Glynneath at their best can do it. DRUNK. At Neath on Tuesday Griffith Williams, Glynneath, labourer, was fined 7s 6d and costs for being drunk and disorderly.—Leonard Kind- er, labourer, and Edward Reynolds, of Glynneath, blacksmith, were each charged with having been drunk at the Rock public-house, Glynneath, on Monday.—Reynolds said he went into the police-station to see about his mate, Kinder, who had been arrested, and sat talking to Sergeant Morgan for an hour. When he wanted to leave the sergeant said, You had better stop here, Edward: you have had enough, and he di(I.-ELteh defendant was fined ,7s 6d and costs, or seven days.

CWMCWRACH. CALFARIA M.I.S. At the above society last week a very interesting dis- cussion took place on Habits." The chair was occupied by Mr A. Morgan.

At the adjourned licensing sessions held at the Neath County Police Court on Friday, Mr Edmund Lyons Evan-Thomas presid- ing, Mr Trevor Hunter applied for a provisional grant in respect of a new house, to be called the Dunraven Arm s, Cwmgwrach. Mr Edwards James, i Merthyr, representing the Rev. J. LI. Thomas, M.A. (vicar of Aberpergwm), the Rev. Albert Evans, and others, opposed.—The Vicar of Aberpergwm said the effect of the new house would 00 to ircrease the already sufficient drinking facilities.—The Rev. Albert Evans (Congregational miaister) pre- sented a petition, signed by 400, against the application.—The Chairman said the bench rather prided itself upon taking every care in licensing matters by personal inquiry. It was quite ob- vious that a new, better equipped, and more centrally /situated house was needed at Cwmgwrach. The application would be granted subject to an under- taking that che existing Dnnraven Arms ceased to be a public-house from the date of opening of the new premises without compensation. — The Bench fixed the monopoly value at .£800.

RESOLVEN. CONSTABLE ASSAULTED. — At Neath on Friday William Turner, collier, John Street, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and assault- ing P.C. Bell on February 28th.

I have tried several so-called cures with unsatis- factory results. However, your treat- ment, which causes no inconvenience, has already done me a great amount of good." FURTHER MERTHYR EVIDENCE. A lady to whom I had supplied a belt a fortnight previous came to see me to express her thanks for the way my appliance had cured her. She said that previous to wearing it she had not been able to do any work during the past five years, and yet. after wearing the belt only a fortnight, she could get about as well as ever. In fact, she walked about four miles to see me. I NOTE DATE OF CLOSING VISIT, MOUNTAIN ASH TESTIMONIAL. "Dear Madam,—It is with feelings of the utmost gratitude that I pen the following to tell you of the relief I have already had from wearing the appliance. It seems wonderful that such a change could have been effected in two weeks only. I feel nearly as strong as ever I was."—Mrs. E. G. ABERDARE LETTER. Dear Madam,—You will be pleased to learn that already I have derived much benefit from your Rupture Belt. Although I have only worn it a fort- night I feel like a new woman. If I make the same progress (and I am sure I will) I will be strong and well again in a very few weeks."—Mrs. J. MORE LOCAL PROOF. Dear Mrs. Slater,-I have to inform you that my wife is much better, and that the belt has done her much good; she has no reason to regret meeting you.—John H. CONSULT ME ON MONDAY NEXT.-Your Last Opportunity DENTON EVI- DENCE. Dear Mrs. Sla- ter,—For years I have suffered from weakness of tbe body, so much so that I could not do j my own house-1 work, but since wearing the belt I im like another woman, and last veek actually did ny own washing. One More Visit to Aberdare. So large was the number of Patients who came to see me on Monday last that 1 was unable to see them all. I am, therefore, compelled to visit Aberdare again on MONDAY NEXT. This will positively be my final visit here. Take advantage of thio, your last chance until 1918, of securing relief and happiness. Remember, I make no charge for advie(-it rests entirely with you w hether- or not you adopt that ad- vice. The cost of my Belts is infini- tesimal compared with the benefit they give. My Appliances havd been sup- plied to the London Hospital and every other large medical institution in the country, and they are strongly recom- mended by the medical profession; in fact. I number several doctors' wives amongst my patients—sure proof of the efficacy of my, lielts. MACCLESFIELD LADY WRITES. Dear Mrs. Slater, —About 3 months ago I had a Belt from you and have found much bene- fit from wearing it. I have a niece staying at Bir- mingham who is suffering from in- ternal weakness, and I have re- commended her to write to you. :n,: r ipA. i-N IR i1. Ruptures, Women's Internal Weaknesses, Displacement, etc., Cured and Relieved without Operations or Internal Instruments. TROEDYRHIW TESTIMONIAL. "Dear Madam.- Your crusade against the use of internal instruments is, I should imagine, one of the greatest blessings bestowed on us poor women who have been deluded into the use of same. On second thoughts, it appears obvious that such methods cannot do the patient any good; at least this wag my experience. However, after adopt- ing your treatment for a fortnight only. I am already greatly improved, and well on the way to my fotmer good health." Ln annoujci.ig my closing visit to ABERDARE, I cannot impress sufficient- ly upon patients the necessity of taking advantage of this visit. It may be that some of you have suffered for many years from what may appear to be an incurable complaint, whereas I might be able to effect relief and probably a permanent cure in a very short time. Over 100,000 women suffering from rup- tures, internal weaknesses, prolapsus uteri, etc., have been treated success- fully by me during my long career. I am still fighting as strong as possible against the use of internal instruments, which are, I claim, the greatest cause of cancers and tumours. One well- knowil doctor made the remark that if the use of internal instruments were persisted in, special hospitals would have to be built to deal with the cases caused by them. Make a point, there- fore. of seeing me on MONDAY NEXT. If I cannot do you any good, I will frankly tell you so, and there is no charge whatever for advice. STOCKPORT LADY'S GRATITUDE. Dear Mrs. Slater,-I am getting on very well indeed with my Belt. I have walked about more the last three months than I have been able to do for several years. Will you please send me a circular for a person who lives here, and who very often is unable to do her work. You would hardly believe how much better I look, and how well I can work. I shall always be most pleased to recommend your treatment, as I am .sure it has been a very grand thing for me. ✓ Mrs. CLARA E.
