FRIDAY, AUGUST 8TH, 1890.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 8TH, 1890. THE Carmarthenshire Conservative Associ- ation, at their meeting on Saturday last, decided, after a lengthy discussion, that Mr Abel Thomas should have a walk over for the Eastern Division. A strong fighting spirit manifested itself amongst the members of the Association, but eventually the advice of their responsible officials was accepted, and Wales will to-day boast of the addition of another legal gentleman to the number of her repre- sentatives. While regretting the decision arrived at, we trust that it may prove a wise one. We cannot but have confidence in the leaders of the party in Carmarthenshire. On former occasions they have shown that they do not shrink from a contest, and the discretion now exhibited can only have been prompted by serious consideration of the interests of the Association. It would, perhaps, have been too much to expect a victory over so strong an opponent as Mr Abel Thomas, but there can be little doubt that the adverse majority of 1885 would have been considerably reduced. Conservatism in these divisions suffers from difficulties of its own creation, the manifest reluctancc of candidates to declare themselves throws an unfair burden upon the shoulders of the officials of the party who have to expend their energies in labouring for a shadow, and under such circumstances it is impossible to carry out the work that may result in victory. In face of an adverse majority it is manifest that careful organisation and earnest united action are the only means that can prevail, but these conditions are never present in our contests the nearest approach to them was in 1885, when Viscount Emlyn fought West Carmarthenshire, but even then the enormous increase of the electorate and recent changes in the party organisation created a certain amount of confusion and misunderstanding. To bring out a candidate at the last moment, and to fight a high pressure battle exhausts 2D C) those engaged, and courts defeat of a peculiarly demoralising nature, causing heart burnings and distrust. When disciplined I forces meet and honestly and deliberately put out their full strength in the struggle, even 0 n-n defeat possesses some element of satisfaction, and the routed forces are easily rallied. But when one polling district strains every nerve in a contest and polls every rote available, while in another the known friends of Conservatism are apathetic and hardly trouble to record their votes, there can be but one result—defeat, and when the occasion again arises the former district is hardly likely to exert itself, and the party is for aver disunited and weak. Again Conservatism sometimes appears in the most modest guise, timid and retiring. This is perhaps the most provoking phase, and those labouring under it should remember that there is nothing to be ashamed of in an honest principle, and that even in Radical Carmarthenshire their convictions are shared by at least a third of their fellow electors, a number that will be largely augmented as soon as they can be induced to show a bold front with courage to uphold their opinions. Fortune never favours the faint-hearted. Our local Conservatives must learn to work together and boldly and patiently seek to win the smiles of the fickle goddess.
Society atio personal.I
Society atio personal. Mrs Bate and family, Gellidywyll, are staying at Langland Bay. Major Bate has just returned from Ireland, where he has been the guest of the Lord Chancellor in Dublin, and whilst there had the unexpected compliment of receiving a visit from some of his tenants in co. Mayo, wishing to thank him for all the consideration he has shown them for the last ten years. Another Welsh College lady has taken the degree of M.A. This honour has fallen upon Miss Foxall, who has been placed second on the list of successful candidates for the M.A. degree in philosophy, London. Miss Foxall entered the University College, Cardiff, in 1887, and took her B.A. degree in London in 1888. Here is an account of the manner in which a hero .,hom Bismarck was commissioned to decorate with the Iron Cross of the First Class discomfited the Chancellor's attempt to chaff him I am authorized," said Bismarck to him, with that liking for playing jokes which has been so strong through his career, am authorized to offer you a hundred thalers instead of the cross." How much is the cross worth ? asked the soldier. Three thalers." 11 Very well, then, your Highness I'll take the cross and ninety-seven thalers." Bismarck was so surprised and pleased by the ready shrewdness of the reply that he gave the man both the cross and the money. # The largest known pearl belongs to the Shah of Persia. It is nearly three inches in length, and is shaped something like a pear. The Shah is reported to possess, besides this gem of enormous value, a necklace made up of the most exquisite pearls, each of which is as large as a well developed hazel nut. Baron Huddleston, at the Essex Assizes, pointed out that a man was not a patch on a woman when it comes to telling a lie and sticking to it. His lordship, in a case in the Nisi Prius Court, said that the wife of defendant had concocted very much of the story upon which their case rested. "More than half a century's expel ience," added the Baron, "has shown me that a man will generally hesitate at an untruth, but a woman is unfortunately more cunning than a man, and will continue to baffle the strictest inquiry." In another case, a French young lady who lisped English rather prettily was dismissed with the compliment that she was an ornament to the witness-box, but not useful. *#* A list of the libraries which have been founded by Mr Andrew Carnegie shows that the Iron King has already spent in providing free reading for the people. His benefactions in America are the Alleghany City Library, £ 00,000 Carnegie Library, Braddock's, Johnstown Library, £ 8,000 Pittsburg Library, £ 200,000 and in Scotland the Carnegie Library at his native place, Dunfermline, which cost 1:8,000, and the Edinburgh Public Library, which was R50,000, not to mention large contributions to z, other libraries. Mr Gerwyn Jones, of Pantglas, has been elected y z=) a member of the Royal Yacht Squad roil. We congratulate Mr Jones on having steered clear of the rocks and shoals that guard the entrance to this most select of yacht clubs. Mr J. C. Harford has returned to Falcondale. # # We are glad to notice that J. M. Child, of King Edward's School, Grantham, has obtained an open scholarship at Jesus College, Cambridge, of £40 z," cl a year tenable for three years, and also a School Exhibition of C30 for the same period. He is the youngest son of thelate Mr JamesMark Child, J.P. and D.L., for the counties of Carmarthen, and Pembroke, and was formerly at Haverfordwest Grammar School. John Felix Rogers Lewis, of Carmarthen, and nephew of Mr J. E. Rogers, of Abermeurig, who had been ailing for some time, died suddenly at his residence on Sunday last. The deceased leaves a widow and one son, eight years of age, to mourn his loss. His remains were removed yesterday by the 3 o'clock train for Abermeurig, and will be buried to-morrow (Friday) at the parish churchyard, Nantcwnlle.

Dyer, inviting all to attend their meetings, and asking for a subscription to clear off a debt of 210, now owing on the local branch. We sincerely trust that they will succeed in their efforts, as no religious body in Carmarthen is more deserving of support. Fine raiment for the body is not required to win their smiles, and gain their attention. The house of their God is open to all, and its best seats at the serviceof the poorest. All are made welcome. No one has ever been seen at the door patiently waiting for the liesure ufan official to show him with the scantest courtesy to a seat. To be told there is no room for you here," or to be removed from your seat during service as if a trespasser, and driven to what is considered a humbler part of their temple, is never known, and would not be tolerated. May their example be followed by other places of worship in the town.

LAUGHARNE.
LAUGHARNE. 1. O. ODDFELLOW'S ANNIVERSARY.—The Odd- fellows, in full regalia, and with a pretty show of gay-coloured flags, and bannerettes, presented quite a brilliant and imposing sight, on the occasion of the celebration of their anniversary on Wednesday. At about 11.30 in the afternoon, the members mustering nearly sixty in number, assembled at the Ship and Castle Inn. From here they started in procession to attend Divine Service at St. Martin's Church, headed by the band of the 1st V. B. Welsh Regiment, under Bandmaster John Jones, which played admirably. An appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. W. H. Harrison, B.A., and Mrs Matthew Jones, presided at the organ. After the service, the Company paraded the town passing through the grounds of Glvnymor, and Laugharnc Castle en route. In the afternoon, the members, together with many visitors (about 100 all told), partook of a really excellent dinner in the new dining room, the caterers being host and hostess Griffiths. This magnificent room was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the superb catering calls for high encomiums. The room was tastefully decoratedjwith bunting, banner- ettes and mottoes. The lodge is in a most flourishing condition. It has gone up by leaps and bounds, and has 72 members on the roll. The Rev. W. H. Harrison, B.A., presided at the dinner, and was supported by the Rev. J. M. Jones, as vice-president After the removal of the cloth, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given from the chair. The Royal toasts were received most enthusiastically, the band playing the National airs. In proposing the Army and Navy," the rev. chairman remarked that we should remember that we could not do our work in peace at home but for the Army and Navy. They contributed to make England respected and honoured in all parts of the globe. (Applause). The toast was accorded in musical honours, the company singing with enthusiasm, The Red, White and Blue."—The band here played Rule Britannia." Mr Frederick Williams (the secretary), in reading the statement of accounts, said that, although the past exceptional winter had proved a draw on their resources, yet they were in a splendid financial condition. (Applause). By the end of the year, he thought, they would have C500 to the good (loud applause). They were not like the man who, in speaking of his wife, said she was getting worser and worscr (laughter). They were doing uncommonly well, and getting better and better (applause). The following is the balance sheet, for the year ended December 31st, 1889 :— Amount of sick and funeral fund, 1435 Is. lid. amount of management fund, t-5 13s. 3id. cash in Post Office Saving's Banks, £ 437 fls. 8d. cash in treasurer's hands, ,£:3 5s. (jd. Mr W. 11. Saer, in felicitous terms, proposed "Success to the "Loyal Abereorran Lodge," Mr W. C. (irifliths suitably responded on behalf of the Lodge, and the toast was drunk with enthusiasm. "Abercorran," in feeling terms, rose to propose a toast, which, lie was sure, would be received with great enthusiasm by every loyal brother in the Lodge. It was a name much beloved, highly honoured and thoroughly respected byJall in our little town. He had pleasure in proposing the Health of the vicar of Laugharne" (loud and continued applause). —The Rev. Chairman, in responding, thanked them for their very kind reception of the toast. He was sure it would give his father grout pleasure to hear of it. The vicar was an honorary member of their society, and took the greatest possible interest in its welfare, but, at his time of life, and through having to be care- ful of exposure to draughts and other things, he was unable to be present. The rev. gentleman concluded by thanking all present for the exceed- ingly kind way in which they had drunk the vicar's health (loud applause). Mr W. H. Saer read the following impromptu verse on the vicar :— Our worthy Vicar bless His works crown with success Prolong his days. To him Thy strength and grace E N tell (I may nought efface His Nvork" light up his face With heavenly rays. --The toast "Host and Hostess" was duly honoured and responded to. The postprandial proceedings were of a most brotherly, harmonious, and sociable character, and with good songs, and excellent instrumental music, the time passed most happily and merrily. It must be candidly admitted that this year's oddfellows, turn out," has been the most pleasant and successful one ever attended.
