Llansannan and its Associations. A NOTABLE NEW BOOK. There are a few memoried villages and parishes in Wales that ask to be recorded both for local and national reasons, and Llansannan is one of them (writes Mr. Ernest Rhys in the Manchester Guardian "). The name carries a weight of memories knit up with the names of the men and poets who have called them- selves after its river Aled, Tudur Aled and lor- werth Glan Aled among them. It recalls Wil- liam Salesbury, who dedicated his New Testa- ment at yr oil Cembru," all them that loved the faith of their old fathers the Britons afore- time. Later it recalls Hiraethog and his brother. Something was said the other day about the old-style village eisteddfod, the college of a village," and its August product and early har- vest. The Llansannan village eisteddfod is, I suppose, as famous as any in the north coun- try, and its promoters and prize-givers, and chief among them Mr. John Morris, of Lletty'r Eos, have conceived the wise idea of using it as a yearly occasion for gathering in the local history of the place. The result of the August event of last year is a small book just pub- lished—" Hanes Hen Furddynod," History of the Old Walls of the Parish (Conway: R. E. Jones and Bros.), by R. Wynne Jones, which has been edited by the Rev. R. Ellis (" Robert ap Cynddelw "). It is full of that local lore which explains the affection that men feel for such a pitch of earth and for all its corners and perishable, and therefore all the more cared for, associations. It takes note, too, and-this is a specially notable service in such cases, of the old walls and roofs that have actually gone and given way to others. For instance, in Tref Llan (there are thirteen towns of the tref kind in this multiple village) there was a cottage, Y Bwth," where now stands a shop of degrees a low-thatched cottage, a favourite resort of Iorwerth Glan Aled in his last years. There he often spent his winter nights, occupy- ing one of the two seats in the gorsedd-a small bench or settle by the hearth. He strung to. gether some idle pennillion about it before the end) came for man and house: — To gwellt sydd ar y Bwthyn, Fel hetiau gwellt y plant; Dwy ffenestr sy' ar y Bwthyn, Fel spectol Twm o'r Nant. A thatch'd roof's on the cottage Like the hats of little lasses Two windows has the cottage Like Twm o'r Nant's old glasses. This conjuring up of Twm o'r Nant in a great pair of horn "spectols" is like a sketch from the life, and individualises the cot by a child- like stroke of genius. You cannot forget that it was near Llansannan Twm's father had his house and tipyn of land, and that he was a well-known figure there with his waggon andi bundles of stage properties for his interludes. This book of old walls is redolent of just such things, the things that count to men and warm their hearts and keep, especially if they be Welshmen, their imaginations alive. It is to be one of a series Another volume will deal with its folk-lore, tales, traditions, and old customs, result of this year's and month's eis- teddfod; and a third more definitely with the formal history. In the end the place should be one of the best remembered and chronicled villages either within or without the borders; and one of the first questions put to the Welsh patriot will be to ask if he has been to the banks of the Aled and to Llansannan standing there ?

Llanrwst Petty Sessions. I COUNTY COUNCIL PROSECUTION. On Monday, before Col. Higson, Messrs. W. I B. Halhed, John Blackwall, W. J. Williams, Ed. Mills, J. R. Williams, Win. Hughes and L. O. R. Ashley. f A LLANSANNAN WEIGHT. Edward Parry Davies, Efail Ucha', Llan- sannan, butcher, was charged for having in his possession for use for trade a lead weight, in- tended to represent a ilb. weight, which was un- just contrary to section 25 of the Weights and Measures Act, 1878. Mr. J. Clark Jones, Chief Inspector of Weights and Measures, appeared for the prosecution. Douglas Wynne Griffith, Inspector of Weights and Measures, stated that on the 16th July he saw defendant's cart at Doihyfryd, Llanddewi. Defendant was in a house. Witness asked him if he could see his scales and weights, and de- fendant replied Oh. they are allright; they have been at the Inspector's a short while ago." I W itness examined them, and found the weights produced amongst them. Defendant had no other pound weight with him, and said he waa using that until he got a new one, as he had lost a pound weight. In reply to the Bench, Mr. Clarke Jones said the deficiency was 51 drachms, and, it was quite illegal. Defendant pleaded guilty to having the weight in his possession, and said that he had lost the pound weight that was tested, the one produced was in the house, and he just put it in the cart until he could obtain one, as it was his intention to buy one immediately he got to town. He had been in business for very many years, and no complaint had ever been made against him. A fine of 5s. and costs was imposed. WITHOUT A LICENCE. Leonard Ward, Chestcr-road, Stretford, Man- chester, was summoned for not being duly licensed to drive a motor car. Inspector Wyse said that on Monday, August the 15th, about 10.30 a.m., he saw a motor car coming round the corner from Station-road to Ancaster Square, and bearing the index mark W.S. 62." He considered that the defendant drove round the corner a little bit too sharp, and he pulled him up. Asked for his licence, de- fendant produced a licence for his motor car 4io then produced a driver's licence which bar expired a month previous. Witness asked him why he had not renewed it, and. he said he had forgotten all about it. Nothing was known previously against him. The defendant, who was not then present, was fined 20s. and costs, and the Chairman remarked that it made it worse when the man did not appear. The defendant appeared in Court at the con- clusion of business, and explained that he had missed his connection. The Chairman said that the case had already been dealt with. NO LIGHTS. William Rowlands and David Parry, Conway. were charged with driving their vehicles without a light one hour after sunset on the 9th August. P.C.Owen stated that at 9.40 p.m. on the date mentioned he met defendants in Bridge-street, by Penybont corner. They were leading their horses. He stopped them, and advised them to get lamps before they went any further. The defendant, Parry, said he was making his way to Conway from Aberystwyth. Neither had lamps on their carts. The defendants said they were looking for stables. A fine of 2.3. 6d. and costs was imposed. THE DRINK. Arthur Davies, Garthypigau, for whom Mr. Twigge Ellis appeared, was charged with being drunk on the 15th August. P.C. Owen proved the case. This being his first offence a fine of is. and costs was imposed. TWO YEARS AGO. James Lloyd, an old man, was charged on warrant with permitting a house, 3, Narrow- street, to be used for an illegal purpose. P.C. Jones proved the case, stating that the offence took place on June 14th, 1908, after which the defendant absconded and was not seen since until last Saturday, when he was arrested in the town. After hearing the evidence, the defendant said that he knew nothing of what was going on in the house. A sentence of three months without hard labour was imposed.

Future of Madryn Estate. RECOVERY OF TENANTS' LOANS. At Saturday's meeting of the Carnarvonshire County Council reference was made to the question of the disposal of Madryn Castle, which forms part of the estate recently pur- chased for £ 45,200 for conversion into small holdings. It appeared from a report by a committee that several proposals for the purchase of the Castle had been submitted, and a small com- mittee had been appointed to consider what should be done with it, while three other mem- bers had been deputed to meet representatives of the Education Committee to consider the latter's resolution on agricultural education in elementary schools. Mr. Jones Morris, dealing with the sugges* tion to convert the Castle into an agricultural centre, said that unless there was some prospect of making such a school self-support- ing the members of the Small Holdings Com- mittee were unanimous that the Castle should be disposed of. It was quite possible that a sale might be made to the Education Com- mittee, or the disposal of the property might be left to the Small Holdings Committee. There were several persons who were most anxious to acquire the mansion, with the land which was attached to it. Mr. Issard Davies doubted the wisdom of giving so much of what was, after all, only the report of a sub-committee. Mr. W. J. Parry regarded the matter as risky, and he was inclined to move that the Small Holdings Committee be authorised to sell the Castle for the benefit of the county-not, of course, at a loss. Mr. Jones Morris Whatever becomes of the Castle the Small Holdings Committee will not accept the responsibility of carrying it on as an agricultural school. (Cheers.) For that purpose it must be sold or leased to the Edu- cation Committee. Eventually it was agreed that the matter should be dealt with in accordance with the report of the Small Holdings Committee. # A strange light was thrown upon the difficul- ties which are already confronting the Council in connection with the recovering payment for holdings in the purchase of which they have assisted. The Clerk desired to have the Council's ad- vice in the case of a man to whom four-fifths of the purchase money of a farm had been ad- vanced by the Council, and who was twelve months in arrear of capital and interest. The man, he added, had given repeated trouble with regard to payment. A Member: How have you got the money before? The Clerk: By constantly worrying him. The treasurer was thereupon instructed to take proceedings for the recovery of the money. m

One of the unreported incidents of Mr. Lloyd George's recent visit to Anglesea was a visit, accompanied by his friend and host, the Rev. John Williams, to Gorad Goch, one of the tiny islands in the Menai Straits, between the Sus- pension and the Tubular Bridges, where he par- took of one of the whitebait dinners for which the islet is famous. I

Mrs. Pankhurst in North I Wales. MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S BODNANT SPEECH. I Mrs. Pankhurst found herself in a rather warm atmosphere among Mr. Lloyd George's women supporters at Carnarvon, on Saturday. The distinguished suffragette addressed a well- attended meeting of women, the majority of whom were members of the Carnarvon's Wom- en's Liberal Association, which Mr. Lloyd George addressed last week, while a goodly pro- portion are equally well known local workers for the Conservative cause. The chair was occu- pied by Dr. Helena Jones, who has been con- ducting meetings in the district for some time on behalf of the militant party. Except for a few interruptions p; evoked by her references to Mr. Lloyd George's attitude to the Conciliation Bill, Mrs. Pankhurst Ind a fair hearing. Tn response to an invitation from the chair that questions should be put, Mrs. Norman Davies opened with a question, but went on to enlarge upon it, declaring that the women Liber- als of Carnarvon were Liberals first and suffra- gists after, andi she believed that the same applied to the Conservative women. We love the Peers' Veto Bill more than the suffrage at the present juncture," she said.. We first want the veto question settled." The Chairman ruled that Mrs. Davies was going beyond the limits pTescribed for a ques- tion. Mrs. Davies (still on her feet) I thought that it was quite open for me to speak. The Chairman A question does not involve a speech, and it was only with my indulgence that you are ailowed to go on at all. Mrs. Da vies I do not ask for any indulgence. We are referred to as Liberal women, and as one of them I wish to give Mrs. Pankhurst an explanation. There are Conservatives here, 1 am sure, who will sav The Chairman again rose to a point of order, and the speaker proceeded no further. Further- questions were invit-d. Mrs. N. Roberts (President of the Women's Liberal Association) was apparently putting a question, and in the course of her remarks made it clear that the association had absolute con- fidence in Mr. Lloyd George. (Cheers). The Chairman (sharply) If you want to pass a vote of confidence in Mr. Llovd George, will you kindly hold a meeting of your own to do it? You are not allowed to do it here. She went on to say that the veto of the House of Lords, which did not profess to be a representative chamber, was not -.0 tyrannical as that of the House of Commons, which refused to give repre- sentation to the women of the country. (Hear, hear). Mrs Pankhurst, appealing to the Liberal women present, ventured to prophesy that when candidates opposed to the suffrage realised that their seats were in danger the suffrage would be an accomplished fact very soon. Let them look through Mr. Lloyd George s speeches, and they would find that he had been prepared to revolt ag linst any party when that party did not give him what he wanted. She ommended his ex- cellent ex-imple to 11.0: women iriendo. (Laugh- ter and hear, hear). The proceedings then peacefully terminated. THE SUFFRAGIST LEADER AT BANGOR. Dr. Helena Jones presided on Friday night at the 1'enrhyn Hall, Bangor, over a meeting con- vened by the Women's Social and Political ,Union, at which the principal speaker was Mrs. Pankhurst. The hall, which seats about 700 people, was well filled with an audience con- sisting in the main of ladies, young and old, and the proceedings were perfectly quiet with the exception of an occasional warning outburst of applause whenever the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer's title or name were mentioned. Mrs. Pankhurst, who was enthusiastically- re- ceived, said the Parliamentary representative of that part of the country understood the position well enough, but he used totally different reason- ing when talking about this movement to that he used when speaking of other great, questions. This question had become so important that at the very beginning of his holidays one of the most important Ministers of the Crown had come down to North Wales to speak upon it. Mr. Lloyd George—(cheers)—had spoken on the subject, and that was why she was there. She wished to show that he was mistaken in thinking that she was in the least angry with him, and that, on the contrary, she, personally, was very grateful to Mr. Lloyd George(cheers)--for the speech he had made at Bodnant, because he had very fully explained himself on the question. He had given his reasons, and, after all, a ser- ious politician liked to have reasons, to be in a position to answer them, and she was there that night prepared to deal one by one with the objections to the only practicable political solu- tion before the country to-day. She wished the Chancellor had been present that night to argue the question out, because she believed that if lit had given as much consideration to that as to other questions he would have voted for the bill, and she still had hopes that when Parliament met in November, Mr. Lloyd George would withdraw his objection and help to concede the demands for further facilities for passing the bill into law. What was the most democratic thing in the country to-day? The household suffrage. That was all they asked for. The. Conciliation Bill introduced into the House of Commons met all the Chancellor's objections. It was framed on democratic lines. The Chan- cellor talked about the evils of plural voting. The Conciliation Bill was expressly framed to prevent women being plural voters. Mrs. Pankhurst said the agitation would never cease till the end was reached. They hoped it would not be necessary to iesort to methods now well known, but if necessary that must be done. (Applause).

A South Wales Claim. At the National Eisteddfod to be held next month at Colwyn Bay, Sir Ivor Herbert, M.P., who is a member of the Cymmrodorion Society, will make an application that the honour of en- tertaining the Eisteddfod be granted to Aber- gavenny in 1913.

PARALYSIS OF THE NERVES and Muscles. Child unable to move. An Astonishing Cure results from DR. CASSELL'S TABLETS. Mrs. H. Wilkinson, 44, Flax Road, Belgrave, Leicester, writes:—"My little girl, aged three, suffered from infantile paralysis, and nerve and muscular weakness. We had her some time under medical treatment, but derived no benefit. She could not stand, or turn over in bed. At last I tried Dr. Cassell's Tablets, and after five months' treatment my little girl could walk by herself, and she is much stronger and 3lbs. heavier. Everybody marvels at the cure." If you would have yourself and little ones strong, healthy and full of vitality, a course of Dr. Cassell's Tablets will do more than all the medicines, patent foods, oils and extracts ever invented. Dr. Cassell's Tablets are guaranteed safe for even the youngest child, and a verv short trial will convince you of their exceptional efficacy. Pleasant and easy to take, and sold at all chemists for ioild.. is. i-ld. and 2S. qd., Dr. 2 2 Cassell's Tablets absolutely cure loss of flesh, nervous prostration, debility, anaemia, spinal and nerve paralysis, nerve pains, rickets, weak- ness in children, heart depression, stomach and kidney troubles, and all diseases arising from nerve and physical exhaustion.

I Llandudno Regatta. The rain and the sea conspired to make the Llandudno regatta, which was held on Satur- day morning, a failure, and to a large extent they succeeded. A few minutes before eleven o'clock, as the regatta was about to start, rain fell heavily, and drove most people indoors. it was not until practically the last event was reached that there was any improvement in the weather, so that at the outside there were not more than two or three hundred spectators on the promenade. The afternoon would have been a much more suitable time for holding the regatta than the morning, but the Committee had to be guided by the tide, which was at its height about ten o'clock. The entries were very poor in the yacht and sailing boat races, and this is considered to be due to the rough sea on Friday, which prevented boats "from towns along the coast proceeding to Llan- dudno. The race for yachts pnd one for sail- ing boats had to be abandoned, while in the race for open licensed sailing boats, although three owners had entered, only Mr. II. Da- vies 's Kathleen arrived, and Mr. Davies was awarded the third prize for covering the course. Lord Mostvn, vice admiral of the court 01 North Wales, was the commodore, and Mr. R. S. Chamberlain the vice commodore. Mr. W. D. Longshaw was the hon. secretary. Mr. E. E. Bone, the chairman of the Llandudno Council, and also the chairman of the Regatta Con-nittee "ntjrtained the <"ommittee to luncheon at the Grand Hotel. The prizes were presented in the evening bv Mrs. E. E. Bone. PRINCIPAL RESULTS. Handicap for open sailing boats (TeF-tricteci to Llandudno pleasure boats) i, Mr. T. Parrv's Reliance; 2, Mr. W.

Fisherman Artist. CLEVER CRICCIETH LIFEBOATMAN. It is not often we find such a rare combina- tion of talent and industry as is to be found amongst the members of the Criccieth lifeboat crew in the person of Robert Cadwaladr, boat- man and fisherman, who has shown wonderful skill as an artist. Cadwaladr, although he left school at the early age of twelve, was then an excellent hand at caricature drawing. Even now only a young man, Mr. Cadwaladr has had varied experience, and has spent some time at studies in Killay and with Lewis Grier, R.B.A,, at St. Ives Studio, Cornwall, and has exhibited pictures at various galleries, most notablv at Liverpool and Rochdale, at both of which he has exhibited twice by invitation. A hardy fisherman from boyhood, Mr. Cadwaladr is un. doubtedly a born artist. It is a curious coin- cidence that while Mr. Cadwaladr was one day last week in the act of retouching a picture of a lifeboat being launched into the surging billows the rocket was fired for the launch of the Criccieth lifeboat into the bay to effect a rescue of a boat in distress. Needless to say that Mr. Cadwaladr was at his post in time. He is at present engaged with a picture en. titled The Harbour," the original of whicn is the eastern side of Criccieth Castle and the bay. This he proposes to submit for hanging at the Royal Academy next year. no-

Government Appointments. Mr. R. R. Roberts, sole surviving partner in the well-known firm of auctioneers and valuers, Messrs. David Roberts and Son, Corwen, and brother of Mr. D. Wynne Roberts, Conway, has been appointed Superintendent Government Valuer, under the Finance Act, for Denbighshire and Flintshire, and will be stationed at Wrex- ham. Mr. Walter Parry, son of the esteemed Town Clerk of Conway, who for some time has been in the Estate Office, Colwyn Bay, with Messrs. J. M. Porter and Elcock, has been ap- pointed to assist Mr. Roberts as draughtsman, this also being a Government appointment. Mr. Roberts was invited to take up his responsible position, which involves the relinquishment of his lucrative b uiip-ess, because of the exceptional ability displayed by him as an expert witness in certain important arbitration proceedings which recently took place in London. He is a re- cognised authority in valuation work.
