CARNARVON. MR. W. tA.ID..RBI ;HIRE RE-ELECTED. THE MAYOR iSLlGGESTS VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS. This morning, Mr W. A. Darbishirewas re- flected Mayor of Carnarvon. 'When Mr Dar- bishire was elected la-st year, the townspeople, one and all, declared that a gentleman more worthy of the honour, it would have been im- possible to find. Now, when the year of his office has come to an end, no greater tribute to his abilities, and no better acknowledgement of his services can be found than by honour- ing him for the second time. During his year of office Mr Darbishire has shown himself to be an ideal Mayor. His experience as a public man has been very extensive and, varied, and he possesses that dignity of demeanour which is ski-- inzlispons,%ble in the makng oi a good Mayor. At the stroke of twelve the mayor entered the Guild Hall, wearing his robe of office and, accompanied by the Town Clerk '('Mr R. 0. Roberts). There -were present at the meeting Aldermen Dr Parry, tR. Norman Davies, D. T. !Lake, J. P. Gregory, Edward Hughes; Coun- cillors J. T. Roberts, OD. T. ie-dwards, T. H. Edwards, W. G. Thomas, 1M. ,E. !Nee, T. Arm- strong, R. RaDleigh Jones, J. Fletcher, W. Lloyd Griffith, Richard Thomas, Edward Parry Reea W. Hughes, together with Messrs. A. Holden, E. Roberts, E. Hall and J. Williams '{Corporation officials). There was a fair at- tendance of burgesses. The iMayor, in addressing the meeting, said the time "warn up, and, it was their duty to turn to business. He must say at the commence- ment that the aider-men and councillors of Car- narvon were the best business men he lia-a ever had anything to do with (cheers). TYe Coun- cil had worked very well indeed during the past year. fWith regard, to the unemployed question, lie was certain they as a Council tackled it in a far more efficient way than any other body. The little piff they had with the Admiralty over the removal of the battery, ha was sorry, did not have the desired effect of keeping the battery in the town. The great event of the year as regards the town was the Eisteddfod, and he heartily thanked the towns- people for their co-operation to bring it about in such a manner as it had done (cheers). There were no cases of immoraJty or drunkenness dur- ing that week, which was a credit to the coun- try (Iiear, Tiear). He did not take any merit for the good work done by the Council, for they had- pul a square man in a round hole. He had met with kmcfpess and generosity on all sides, and had added a host of friends. I now retire from dffice. Alderman Robert Parry, in moving that Mr W. A. tDarbishire be re-elected Mayor for an- other year, said the Council were very very fortunate last year when they succeeded to in- duce Mr (Darbishire to accept the office of Mayor. The choice of the Council was enthu- siastically received by the town, and now, when the year of his office was at an end', the man- ner in which Mr Darbishire had discharged his duties had justified the choice of the Council and the enthusiasm of the borough. Mr Dar- bishire exhibited some diffidence when he was asked to accept the mayoralty last year, stat- ing that he "had "had no experience in the work. However, he had been an apt pupil, and had- presided over the meetings of the Council with oomapicuou-S ability. He had not let them ■waste their time, and had kept them in due order. As they all knew, he was a very busy man; but he Tiad never failed to attend 'the various committees, amd in this respect he was a good example to the councillors. His time had been at the disposal of the Council in every matter appertaining to the welfare of the town; and in connection with the Eisteddfod his services hacabeen had thrown himself heart and soul into the work, and his advice and oounsel had been most valuable to them (applause). WitE reference to Mia Darbishire, she had been an ideal Mayoressj and to describe her character was like painting the lily (applause). He moved that Mr and Mrs W. A. Darbishire be made Mayor and, (Mayoress of Carnarvon for the en- suing yea* (cheer* Alderman J. P. Gregory seconded, and the motion was carried with the greatest enthu- siasm, Mr Darbishire. in returning thanks, said he hoped that next year the Council would be in a position to earrv out even more improve- ments. There were two or three things which Teqnired their attention. In the first place they were badly in need of -new mimicipil ibuildings. The present buildings were most inconvenient,' and the work in connection with the Corpora- tion could not be systematically carried out in them. In the second place, the fire engine. might be improved; and, in his opinion, a motor fire engine would be of advantefre to the town. H a fire broke out somewhere between Carnarvo-n. n,nd IPwUheJi the results in the present circum- stances would .be very serious indeedi. Letters were read from Councillors H. (Lloyd Carter, John Pqchard, And Peter Angel, re- gretting their inability to be -present. A NEW MORTUARY WANTED. The Vicar (iRev J. W. Wynne "Jones, LAA.) said one of the first things the Council should do was to provide a new mortuary. The pre- sent mortuary, he said, was full of rats md smelt so much of manure that it was almost impossible for anyone to cro into it. With re- ference to the election of Mr Darbifihire as mayor, the town was to be heartily congratu- lated on securing such a-n experienced gentle- man to preside over its affairs. Mr Darbishire agreed with the Vicar that the provision of a new mortuarv should have the early attention of the. Council. I Mr Normal Davies WitS re-elected returning officer for the Eastern Ward.

BANGOR. COL. PLATT ELECTED. The annual meeting of tihe Banger City Couav cil was held to-ciay, the retiring Mayor, Coun- cillor Bayne, .presiding over the preliminary proceedings. There was present a Ia,1"genttmiber of ladies and gentlemen who had come to wit- ness the ceremony of installing the new Mayor. Alderman Thomas Lewis proposed the Sec- tion of Col. Platt as Mayor for the ensuing year (loud cheers). He said that they were mu.dh indebted to Col. Jatt for what he had done for the city. Alderman J. E. Roberts .seconded. He said What the -gentleman whom t'iiey were about to elect as Mayor was not a novice. He was the first Mayor of the city in 1883, when it was iii- oanporated. TJ%i the Council were in a fight- jug attitude?—•(lawgihter),—and were Dot in & mood to look after the interests of the town. .N'ow I things had changed, and they had settled down to do good work, and h-e promised Col. Platt a. year of peace and quietness (cheers). The motion was carried unanimously, and OoL Platt, on entering tihe room, received an enthusiastic reception. Having been installed and invested, the new Mayor said he hoped his year of office would be signalled by unanimity and good feeling. It would be his pleasinc- duty to try a.nd merit the honour confirmed upon him. He should like to look back to find out what had be-cm done in Bangor since 1883. In that year the ratable value was £ ?T.918; in 1906' it was £ 41,918; increase, £ -17,030. In 1833, the general district rate- Is 2d in the B in 1906. 3s 8d. Tine r0n1.at::m in 1883 was 9207: r) in 1906, 12,500. T}:e number of inhabit cd houses in 1883 was 683: in 1906, 2650. The Mayor, in conclusion, appointed Mr g. C. Vin- cent as his deputy. A vote cd thanks was returned to the retiring Mkyor, Mr 1J¡a.yue, for his services. 1

PWLLHELI. At Pwllheli, Mr W. Anthony was unanimously re-elected Mayor, on the motion of Mr R. O. Jones, seconded by Mr R. Ivor Parry.

TO THE EDITOR RIT^LEi SHOOTING. Sir,-Different opinions as to the advisa- bility of teaching rifle shooting to children or boys in elementary schools—even if none of the ratepayers' money be expended thereon—may legitimately be maintained but all who have the question of the defence of their country at heart must, like myself, hold that elder boys should be taught rifle sBooting until they are of age to join the volunteers. Whether the Liberal War Minister's efforts to create a na- tional and voluntary army will be successful remains to be seen. It is sincerely hoped that the "County Associations," when formed, will succeed in arousing a still better spirit of enthusiasm for service in the volunteers or subsidiary organisations. A great. opportunity wil then be given to all to serve either as men or officers, and to prove that the proposals of the National Service League, viz., compulsory drill and shooting in all schools, with a legal liability thereafter to serve for six months in time of national crisis, will not be required to be carried into execution.—I am, etc. G. DRAGE, Captain, Assistant 'Sec. for North Wales Society of Min. Rifle Clubs.

BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION, MEETING TO-DAY. The fortnightly meeting of the (Board was held to-day (Friday). Mr iH. Thomas (chair- nnn) presiding. At the previous meeting of the Board the porter was called upon to resign for having absented himself from the house with- out leave. A letter dated the 7th inst. was now read from the porter resigning the post, as requested, but in a subsequent letter to the 'Board, dated the 8th, he asked for permission to withdraw his resignation and to be Tein- stated. Mr Joseph Davies explained the absence of the porter from the house. He said that he had gone to the Menai bridge Fair, but. fai-led to return the same day. as arranged1, owing to his having met with accident. 'He tried to' get a cab to come back, but failed. Mr IDavies gave notice that he would move at the next meeting of the Board that the porter be re- appointed. A letter was received from the former master of the house (Mr John Jones) asking for the return oi the money he had paid into the super- animation fund. Mr Joseph Davies jrave notice that he would move at a. future meeting that the money be paid back to Mr Jones, as well as 'to the former collector of ipentraeth.

CARNARVON AND THE ELECTRIC LIGHT HRXV ATE (BELL TO BE PROMOTED. At the adjourned meeting! of the Carnarvon Town Council to be held' to-night^ reprorts will be presented with reference to the electric flight, and the question of promoting a private Recently the Electricity 'Committee of the Corporation had an interview at Carnarvon with Mr D. Lloyd -George, the (President of the -Board of Trade, when the position of the Cor- poration under their electric lighting agree- ment was discussed. Mr Lloyd George in- formed them that they might depend upon the Board of Trade doing everything within their power to help them, and he requested them to send him a statement of the position of affairs together with a copy of Mr MaoMorran's opin- ion on the agreement. He would then see the IPresident of the (Local Government Board, or Runciman_j and^ endeavour to overcome their objection to the'sanctioning of the further loans required. If he could save the town the ex- lpemse of a private Bill, he would do so. After -i.Mr Xrloyd-George's return to London a letter was sent to him reminding him that the matter was becoming urgent, and be replied saying that he had been unablEhto see the President of the Local Government Board owing to ab- sence, but would! attend to the matter on his return. In view of the fact that the advertise- ments of the private iBill must appear at the latest on the following November, it was re- solved that a deputation should see .Mr Lloyd- George in London and endeavour to obtain a settlement, and, should it be necessary to pro- ceed with, a private iBrll, the Town Clerk was authorised to engage a Parliamentary agent and procea- as far as possible with the, busi- ness. At a subsequent meeting of the committee the Town Clerk reported that he had not been able to make an appointment with the President of the (Board of Trade, consequently the de- putation (had not proceeded to (London. The Accountant, however, reported that he had called at the offices of the IBoard of Trade to inquire what was being done. He wa.s informed by IMr ILJoyd-George's private secretary that Mr Lloyd-George thought the best course for the Council to pursue would be to proceed with the promotion of a private Bill on the lines of the draft Bill which they had already sub- mitted to him. In the meantime the question was being carefully considered by the Board of Trade in conjunction with their legal ad- visers, and should it be possible by any action of the Board to relieve the Council of the neces- sity of proceeding further with the 'Bill, the Council would be informed of the fact without delay. Should it be necessary for the ;Bill to be carried through Parliament, Mr Lloyd- George would do all in his power to facilitate 'its progress. The secretary further stated. ■ inat at Mr Lloyd-George,s Tequest he had that morning 'been across to the offices of the Local Government Board to inquire whether it was possible to obtain the sanction to borrow suffi- cient for their present requirements. The Board informed him that it was not within theii power to give the sanction applied for, and under those circumstances he advised the Council to dismiss from their minds all hope of obtaining the sanction until the difficulty had 'been settled. The Accountant further reported I that he had calledi at the offices of the Local Government Board with a view to obtaining their apprval to the draft Bill. The Board, was not prepared to give a formal approval, although they did not see that there was any- thing in the proposals to which they could ob- ject. In order to facilitate matters, they re- quested to be supplied with a full statement and the reasons for promoting the Bill, together with a copy of-the correspondence showing the: attitude of the Board of Trade on the ques- tion. ( 4Councillor W. G. Thomas has 'given notice that he will move at to-nig'ht<'s meeting of the Council that a Bill be promoted in the next. session of Parliament to authorise and confirm certain agreements made between the Council; and the National Electric Construction Com- pany, and to make provision for defraying the expense which has been incurred, and which, from time to time, may be incurred under the said agreements, and to enable the Council to borrow for the purposes of the said a,rieeltlents. j

CARNARVON COUNTY COURT ACTION AGAINST A MOTORIST. WEDNESDAY.—Before his Honour Judge Moss. A BARGAIN.—Robert Roberts, Hen Gapel, Moeltryfan, sued Hugh Roberts, Park, of the same neighbourhood, in respect of the exchange of a car and a foal. The plaintilf had a car and saddle, which lie ai ranged to exchange with the defendant for a foal, valued at six guineas. It -was the plaintiff's case that the exchange was unconditional, but the defendant con- tended that it was a condition of the trans- action that, the car should fit a. pony 13 hands high, and that when tried it was found to be too small for his purpose. He had conse- quently declined to hand over the foal.—Mr Hamlet Roberts appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Richard Roberts for the defendant.— His Honour, having heard several witnesses on both sid^s, held that there was a bargain, and gave judgment for the plaintiff for the foal or six guineas. CLAIM FOR INJURIES TO SHIRE HORSiE.—-Charles Williams, farmer, Ty.wyn, 'Clynnog, for whom Mr Hamlet Roberts ap- peared, brought an action aigainst Evan Jones and Co., cycle dealers, Carnarvon, to recover La5 by way of damages for injuries caused to a shire horse owiing to the alleged negligent driving of a motor tri-car by the defendants' driver.—Mr J. T. Roberts was for the defen- dants. It was said that on the 10th August last the plaintiff was travelling from a farm called Dolgynfydd to Aden, in the parish of Llanddeinioleu. When on the road near Pont- rug he saw a motor tri-car coming from the opposite direction at a very rapid pace, and swerving from one side to the other. Seeing that the car was being dr.iven recklessly, and would be likely to injure the horse, the plain tiff held up hi&. hand, and backoned him to stop. The driver took no notice of that, with the result that the car came up, the horse reared, and fell on his head against the wall, and sustained injuries. It was taken to a farm close by and attended by a veterinary surgeon. The horse was .incapacitated for a weoek, and it was contended that the plaintiff had thereby sustained considerable pecuniary loss.—The plaintiff, in tht course of his evi- dence, said that he paid P,80 for the horse two years ago. The. day after the accident he called upon R. Lloyd Jones, one of the defen- dants, who said' that he knew nothing at all about the matter. He thereupon called a policeman to interview Jones, and a conversa- tion ensued between the two, the purport of which he (the witness) could not give.—Re- plying to Mr J. T. Roberts, the plaintiff said that he had never seen a motor-car driven at such a pace as this was. He would not be surprised to hear that ,it went at the rate of 60 miles an hour (laughter).—Joseph Jones, Llanrug, gave evidenoe'to the effect that he saw the motor-car in question proceeding along the road at a very high rate at the time spoken °f by the plaintiff. It seemed like going, 60 miles an hour.—His Honour: It is very few people who are able to jud'ge the speed of cars. --G. Jones Roberts, veterinary surgeon, de- scribed the wounds on thet horse. The horse was of less value now after the accident.—Mr J. T. Roberts submitted that upon the evi- dence of the plaintiff it was hardly likely that what was related took place. It was an ad- mitted fact that the horse was not afraid of motor cars, but was quite accustomed to them. They had also got in evidence that the veterin- ary surgeon had actually passed the horse on a narrow country road with a motor-bicycle travelling at the rate of 16 or 18 miles an hour, and that the horse, took no notice. That being the nature of the. animal, was it likely that the owner would have made any signal to a man driving a small tri-car up hill to stop. The whole thing turned upon tliat.-Fred Wee don, a mechanic ia the employ of the defendant, said that on the day in question he went to Brynbras Castle in the tri-car to repair a Panhard ma.chine belonging to Mr Barnard. In returning he went dowin the hill at a slow pace with the clutoh in and the foot brake on. When he came to a corner in the road he saw the stallion. He was then on the left side of toe road. The man in charge of the stallion did nothing, and made no motion until witness ,Qot within about 26 yards of him. The man then gave him some kind of a signal, which he took to mean anything. Witness stopped for safety, and went to the right hand side, and tbe stallion passed him on the right. After the animal passed it reared, but came down on its feet right enoug^h. Nothing happened to the animal while witness was there, and he went on.-P.. Lloyd Jotnes, a member of the defendant firm, having given evidence, his Honour, in jgiving judgment, said that the defendants story was absolutely inconsistent with the admitted facts. He gave judgment for the plaintiff for 214.

HELP FROM PWLLHELI Help to those in trouble i8 always welcome, but doubly so when it comes from a neighbour. To many here, who are in trouble, the experi- ence of this Pwllheli man will (prove of the greatest assistance and encouragement, Mr. David Davies, Edward-street, South Beach, Pwllheli, says :—iDoan's backache kid- ney pills have done me so much good that I ,shall certainly recommend them to my frim4. "This medicine (has given me splendid re- lief from weakness and pain in my back. Some- times the pains were so sharp that I could have cried out with them, especially when I was stooping. I have a lot of heavy liftimg to do at my work, and perhaps, it was that which upset my kidneys, and made my back bad. I tried other medicines before I started with IDoan's, but it is only Doan's that have made me better. You are welcomed to publish my case, for the benefit of other sufferers. '(Signed) David Da.vies. What better encouragement could there be than this? It brings hope to every kidney sufferer—to Itihe man 'Wih work is made slavery by backache, rheumatism, kidney colds, urinary disorders, sciatica, sharp pains when stooping; to the woman made miserable by dizzy spells,frequent headaches, and mysterious a "h >s and pains which she mistakenly puts down to female complaints. The genuine Doan's backache kidney pills are safe and, reliable for old and: youmg. Their one purpose is to heal the kidneys—to build them back to their natural condition, so that they can filter out the uric acid and other kidney noisons that cause disease. Doan's Backache Kidney iPillfe are two shil- lings and nmepence per box {six boxes for t irteen shillings and ninepence).

WELSH COUNTY SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION PAPER BY AN ANGLESEY HEADMASTER WELSH v. FRENCH. The president, Miss Collin, B.A., of Car- diff, presided at the meetings of the Welsh County Schools Association, hedd in the Musio Hall, Shrewsbury, on Friday night and OJ) Saturday. Correspondence was read showing that the London University had not yet ac- oeded to the request of the Central Welsh Board recognising the Senior Central Welsh Board's certificate in lieu of the London mat- riculation. It was agreed that the Association take further steps in the matter. It was also agreed to communicate with the secretary of t'he joint bocu-d of the Northern Universities re the inters!nange of matriculation certificates. Professor Findlay, of the Manchester Uni- versity, and formerly headmast-or of the Inter- mediate School, Cardiff, gave an address oh "The Trend of Educational Reform in out Lar/e Cities," and said one effect was that the popular imagination had been stirred to tihe need of higher education. Mr R. W. Jomes, of Gelligaer, and Miss Jones, of Wrexham, were appointed on tb" Welsh Central Board. After the President's adress. Miss Doibell, Pontypool, moved a vote of thanks to Miss Collin, wbJioh was passed. Mr S. J. Evans, of Llangefni, read a paper on "Welsh in County Schools." He said in 1905, out of 2529 pupils who took the Central Welsh Board examinations, 410, or about 15 per cent., offeted Wellih; in 1904, 463 out of 3638, or between i7 and 18 per cent.; and in 1905, 549 out of 3020, or about 18 per cent. Those taking Firendh were over four times as numelo;w. Hhey were expedited to develop their system of education on natural lines, and the most characteristic subject of all-the subject which, above all others, should differ- entiate their curriculum, from that of English Gchools-the-y 'found taught in scarcely half the sohools, even to the standard of the junior certificate, and not quite one-fifth of those pre- sented for examination were sufficiently trained in that vital part of tlheir education to be I t,ptd in the subject. He did not condemn all County Schools. Some of the headmasters had sthown themselves thoroughly alive to the para- mount claims of Welsh, and tauight it with ereat thoroughness (applause). He had heard of one school in Carnarvonshire in which, out of the 371 pupils tha.t had been educated there, all but 25 had had a thorough, and systematic course of trn-ining in Welsh (applause). About the remedy, (he mid it was not a. difficulty that rrvri-] he dealt with by eloquence on public piforms P. d by writing letters to the press. Wi'liflig hands were needed, while a partial solution seemc.1 to lie in the examinations of C4"itral Wflsh Board. If, too, Welsh was to be efficientlv taught, they must ha.ve teadhers who knew sornelftirug of the structure of the language

MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL MR LLOYD-GEORGE'S DIPLOMACY. POINTS AMICABLY SETTLED. The committee appointed by the deputation from the Shipping Federation and the Local Marine Boards, who interviewed the President of the Board, of Trade on Friday, met again on Monday afternoon, and in too evening they had a further conference with Mr Lloyd-George, the result of which is that the points at issue have been amicably settled. It is understood that no opposition will be offerod by shipowners to the new clause intro- duced by Mr Lloyd-George in relation to the s superintendents of local marine offices. On Friday, when members of the Shipping Federation and Chamber of Shipping were re- ceived, Mr Lloyd-George firmly adhered to the circular recently issued by his Department, enabling the sailor to call in the aid of a friend (not being a lawyer) to assist him in disputes that may have to be determined by superinten- dents of mercantile marine offices. The Presi- dent further made it plain to the deputation that he has no intention of abandoning thø above clause, which has been framed to remove, the doubt recently suggested' as to the com- plete control possessed by the Board of Tradd over the superintendents in the principal porta of the United Kingdom. Mr Lloyd-George, however, made an offer which brought about the amicable agreemeno now anounced.
