Election of Guardians
Election of Guardians NOMINATIONS. The election of Guardians and District Councillors will take place on Monday, the 28th inst. The lest day for nomination as the 10th, and five days were allowed for the withdrawals. CARMARTHEN UNION. The following are the nominations for the Carmarthen Lnion, the old members being marked with an asterisk. As will be roticed, several of the present Guardians have withdrawn, ine.l-iding the Vicar cf < lech, whost will be a distinct :OS" to the Board. The withdrawal of Mrs. Pughe Evans is deplored throughout the Union, as it is felt that a lady possessing her many admirable qualities would make an excellent lady Guardian, and be an un- doubted acquisition to the Board. "he contest in the borough promises to be very warm, as there are ten candidates for six seats It is not likely that the election will be fought on party lines as there are several "independents" standing. Encouraged by the recent good fight against the Rev At Mills, for County Council honours, Mr. D. Davies, Boxburg Hall, -,eeks to displace one of the old members, which he is must be left to conjecture. There are therefore three Baptists in the field, with this difference, that while Mr. D. Davies is a Conservative, the Rev. A. Fuller Mills and Mrs. Richards are Radicals. Mr. Davies at the recent election was charged with being a turncoat but our readers will readily remember that at Parliamentary elections he was a staunch supporter of Sir John Jones Jenkins, and on more than one occasion, spoke on his be- half. But as the election is not to be made a party affair, it matters not what colour he flies. There only remains this to be pointed out on his behalf. That he lives in a quar- ter of the parish that has not been repre- sented by a resident Guardian since Miss Hancocke's retirement. Johnstown and Llanllweh covers a large area, and it is only due to inhabitants of those places that they should have at least one Guardian living in their midst to look after and see that the pcor are properly cared for. Who bet- ter than Mr. David Dr.vies? Mr. Thomas Thomas, Wellfield, should have no difficulty in securing a seat. He has been on the Board of Guardians for many years, and nas proved himseif to be exceptionally well- fitted for the office. Mr. J. P. Lewis and Mr. Jonathan Phillips, Ysguborstone, are tried members, whose records should stand them in good stead on the day of the poll. Coming to the lady candidates there can be no gainsay that Miss G. E. M. White, King j Street, is far and away the best of the four. She, like Mrs. Pughe Evans, has done a lot to ameliorate the suffering of, and better the circumstances under which, the poor live, in her private capacity. She knows their wants, and can distinguish between the deserving and undeserving poor. Her sympathy, too, has always been shown to the unfortunate inmates of the Workhouse, and she should make a very valuable mem- ber. That is not to say that the other three ladies do not take a deep interest in the poor, and are not anxious to assist them in every possible way. All or any of them would make very good members, but the work of Miss \V nite in this direction stands out prominently, and demands recogniton.

Ammanford Literaty Society.—Before a well-attended meeting of the above Temper- ance Society held in the Vestry of the Christian Temple, Mr. Jacob Gabe, Amman- ford, read a very entertaining and instruc who proved to bo none other than the fam- tive paper entitled A Delightful Friend," ous Essayist, Mr. Charles Lamb. The paper showed that it had been prepared with great care, and dealt minutely with the history of Charles Lamb and his sister Mary, and also with their friend Coleridge. The dark and sad phase, as well as the quaint humour of a most unique family was presented with vividness, and were keenly appreciated by the members. It was quite evident that the reader of the paper had probed deeply into the history of Charles Lamb, and had made him a special study, for there was hardly any aspect of his life and works, that he did not touch upon. We hear that he has been asked to read the paper before some other Literary Societies in other places, and we can assure them that it will be well worth listening to. The chair was occupied by Mr George Roblin, manager, Tirydail, who spoke in terms of praise on the excellence of the paper, as also did several members of the Society. Council Election. The community is bubbling with interest in the election ot members on the Ammanford Urban Council. The five retiring members are Messrs. T. Fletcher, D. George, J. E. Jones, W. Rees, and Evan Jones. The latter two do not seek re-election. The last day for nomina- tions was Thursday of last week, and the following were nominated :— Labour. Mr. Thomas Fletcher (rollerman). Mr. D. George (collier). Mr. J. E. Jones (collier). Mr. Iestyn Williams (collier). Mr. Daniel Thomas (stoker). The first three are old members. Independents. lr. G. Roblin (colliery manager).

Poll Demanded. — A Parish Meeting was held at the National Schoolroom on Tuesday evening, the 8th inst., for the purpose of electing 15 parish councillors for the ensuing three years. Trere was a large attendance of Noncon- formists, or, as they choose to call them- selves now, "progressives." How they lav claim to that name, seeing they have had a majority on the Council since its formation, and never adopted one of the Acts they are entitled to, such as the Lighting Acts, or done anything for the welfare of the parish ) is a problem that will take a lot of solving. There were very few Churchmen (or shall we say "Moderates"?) present. Mr. J. Lloyd (Penybank) was voted to the chair, and he opened the business by thanking those pre- sent for returning him on the County Coun- cil TwentyJ-three candidates were nomi- nated for the 15 vacancies, and the voting resulted as follows:- -1 Morgan Thomas, Tynewydd (Pro.). 70 David Davies, junr., Rhiwdywyll (P) 67 Dd.

Prudential Assurance Company…
Prudential Assurance Company Limited. A COLOSSAL BUSINESS. The fifty-fifth annual general meeting of th j Prudential Assurance Company was held on Thursday, March 3rd, at the Chief Offioes Holborn Bars, London, Mr. Edgar Horn, chairman of the company, presiding. A public company, for whatever purpose it may be in existence, which can deal with hard facts, unadorned with figures of speech, at once occupies a unique position. The directors of the Prudential invariably pre- sent to their shareholders a report brief al- most to baldness, and yet full and definitely expressive. There is no beating about the bush, no explanations, no apologies, and no excuses. Either would spoil a report which is a model of conciseness, and withal beauti- fully accentuated with figures vast enough and telling enough to be overwhelming. For years the colossal business carried on by the Prudential has been a cause for wonderment. From a river flowing to the --a I "f.mpan has become a sea itsalf, perpetually rising and advancing without ebb. It moves rapidly, unostentatiously, and with ever- mcreasing volume. In dealing with the work of this matchless office anything but brevity would be little snort of wasted en- ergy. The progress for the year just past is shown clearly by the figures in the annual report, which sneak for themselves. In the ordinary brancn the new annual premium cached the startling figure of QQ« r\-n on_ "4,358 policies, assuring ±w,dyb,UoO. The premiums received were £ 3,814,856, being an increase of £ 163 898 £ 3,814,856, being an increase of £ 163 898 over the preceding year. On the disburse- ment side the claims amounted to £ 1 523 686 arising from 6,611 deaths and 5,685 endow- ment assurances matured. The number of policies in force at the end of the year was 712,097. In the industrial branch "the pre- miums received during the year were £ 5,846,554, being an increase of £ 155,647 The number of deaths was 210,839 and time- expired assurances 3,246. representing an out-going of £ 2,100,324. The assets of the company in both branches, as shown in the balance-sheets, are £ 51.217, being an increase of £ 4,062,176 over those of 1902 Ihe massiveness of the company as a corpo- ration may be presented in the form that the combined assets amount to such enor- mous figures, representing about £1 ll. for every inhabitant, man, woman, and child, 11 England and Wales at the recent census. while the conjoint sum assured, amounting h £ 230.458,288, represented upwards of £7 per head of the population. Nor must it b> overlooked in connection with the com- pany's increasing claim payments that seve- ral years ago the directors most liberally decided to grant free policies to all indus- trial policyholders of five years' shnding whose circumstances compelled the discon- tinuance of premium payments. In the past twelve months alone 95,933 of these gifts were distributed, increasing the total in force to 912.984. whilst no "fewe" than 19.788 became claims during the year. We are glad to note that the Carmarthen District has done remarkably well in assist- ing to compile this wonderful increase, tak- ing into consioeration the very wet season for agriculturists, etc. It is interesting to note that since the district superintendent, Mr. WilFams, has been in Chl." of the dis- trict, in spite of the large exodus of families from the to^vn owing to tho stoppage of the tmworks, the number of policy-holders com- pares favourably with many larger districts in proportion to the population. ==

Welshmen in London. PRESENTATION TO MR. W. J. N. LEWIS. Mr. J. N. Lewis, formerly of Bankyfelin, but now of London, was the chief figure at a very interesting meeting held at Castle- street, Oxford Street, on Saturday evening last. It is generally known that Mr. Lewis was well to the fore in the musical world at home, but since his residence in London he has held the important post of choir-master at the Welsh Baptist Chapel, Castle Street. It is not long since Mr. Lewis was married, and to mark their esteem for him, and to wish both Mr. and Mrs. Lewis every pro- sperity, the choir assembled and presented him with a marble clock of beautiful design. Mr. John Hinds, ever to the fore in all good deeds, made the presentation on behalf of the choir. The pastor of Castle Street Bap- tist Chapel (Rev. Ellis Williams), said a few kind words, and Mr. J. N. Lewis suitably responded, and said he wished he had been able to do more for the cause at Castle St. than he had been able to do in the past. Ii ILL UPS ?- ?-- ?- ?_ ?- ? Mr. C. J. Alford, of Helston, Cornwall, has ridden his Rover bicvcle the extraordi- nary distance of 100,000 miles. The bicycle was bought in 1890, and even then it was second-hand. At first it had solid tyres, then cushion tyres, and finally pneumatics. Ihe G.W.R. Company have recently made another innovation by arranging for the sale in advance of books containing fifteen 1st. class return tickets. This facility will, I no doubt, be much appi-eciated by residents in the countr- and other districts served by the G.W.R. and will also be of great service t) gentlemen inviting guests to shooting boxes, fishing grounds, private golf links, tennis lawns, etc. Moreover, the arrange- iy.c-nt avoids the necessity for intending pas- sengers to obtain tickets at the booking- office on every occasion a journey is made. n am
Education Debate in the Com…
Education Debate in the Com mons. MR LLOYD-GEORGE'S AMENDMENT. On Monday the Hons* went into Committee of Stipply, and on th- Vote on Account of £ 21, 500,000, for the Civil Service and ltevenue Depart- mentg, there was a debate on the administration of tho fLducation Act of last year. It was initiated by. MB LI-OYP-GKORGB, who attacked the Educa- tioniDoparment fo r issuing draft orders which he contended were unfair to Nonconformists. He dedared that the Act of 1902 and these orders had the etfect of putting non-provided eohools in Non- conformist districts to too igreit an extent under the control of the clergy Even though a votnntary school was almost t-xcmpively attended by Nonconformist children and thou-h in large measure it mieht owe its very existence to Non- conformists, yet under the orders of SIR W AKSOS no one who not was a churchman co ild become a foundation manager. He thought that the Hoard of Education had been milled by the Welsh Bishops. The recent countr council elections had shown that Waifs was practically unaniin-ioui in its oppi>sition to the Act The county councils were quite preparod to meet the clergy, who how- ever. in their intolerance had refused the proffered compromise. He moved a reduction of the vote. DANK appealed to the Government to amend the Church clauses of the Act of 1902, which were the sources of the difficulty that had arisen iu W ale. Education could not be carried on efficient- xy under a ey^tem to which a whole community was opposed, and it was inifjossiWe, he affirmed, to M»noamus" a nation. In his opinion peace would never be secured until the State confined itself to looking after education. leaving religi. a to the care of those whnpe special interest it was. nR W ANSON, who denied that the Act was gen- erally condemned, referred to the readiu^s which the county councils had displayed in preparing schme8 &R preof that the local authorities were an- xiom to take advautage of the measure. The Welsh authorities were y to adinmiater the Act, but they wished to administer it ia their own way INonconformists, for whom Mu I jLOYO-GrEOKGS spoke, desired either te firive every child into thc,, school, in which that form of religious education which they preferred was given or, as an alternative to secularize education. He questioned the di«- ( satisfaction which prevailed was a genuine outburst of popular opinion, and he was inclined to regard the passive resistance movement as organized for political purpolleil rather than »& a real expraesion of conscientious scruples. With regard to the- draft ordern relating to foundation managers, he ivointc-d out^tliat they contained instructions for carrying out the trusts regulating schools and that complaint could he made to the Education Department in any case of abuse. The results of the agitation in Walept were deplorable, In Carmarthen the county council had refused to appoint reanagers and make any payment to the voluntary school. bus idee the Parliamentary grants. As a result some schools were almost derelict. Th«y were without apparatus and without fuel. The act he atfirwed, h.\d not a fait trial in Wales. He was by no moans blind to the difficulties of the religious question. His own riew was that there should be a system under which denominational religious teaching should be available for all who wanted it in -(-hool houre. A rigid conscience clause would, Oi course be necessary. But he held. at the same time that the compromise on arangement arrived at in 1902 was a fair one, and he intended that it should hav* fair trial. In Carmarthenshire there was to be an inquiry into the state of things and afterwards he would have to consider what ought to be done to carry the Act into effect If any orders which miifht be i«sued for that pur- pose were not suwessful should have to si;k for fur- ther powers, How. he asked, did toe Opposi- tion leaders regard this defiance of the law If they did Pat approve of it let them have the cour- age to^say so. He thought b<t should tie jnsti- tied in ssying that the Welsh countv- couucUs for political purposes had practiced I 1. nasibods of barbaristn," and the sufferers ware the children. Mr Balfour also spoke, and referred to the passive pcsiters 80 that that in the hiJltorv of the world there would never be a leas pasgire form of mar. tyrdom. As to the administrative difficulty in Wales, it I was clear that if the education of the children w-8 not carried out effectively by those who were legal- ly rest)onsible. a remedy would have to ba advised, He trusted thst without auy legislative interference the deplorable state of things in Wales would he brought to an end. If however, it was not brought to aud end by the local authorities) other measures would have to be taken. OR a di vigioti, the amendment was rejected by 248 yo" against 128-m%jority, lli.

LLAHDILO.
LLAHDILO. Moody-Manners opera Company paid their one-night visit to Llandilo. They save A ,^r'iN Hall an excellent performance f iw. ?r- -Parry's opera, The -laid of Cefn \dfa." The company is a string one numbering 40 ail told. The chorus numbered 15, and the instrumen- talists 7. The soprano (Heroine) and tenor (Will. Hopkins) were specially good, the premier honours, in our opinion, being won by the soprano, whose singing and acting in the last scene was highly artistic. The chorus singing left something to be desired. Li one scene the male chorus was weak. The playing of the small band was admin- able, each member of which was a skilful player. We were surprised that such ex- cellent orchestral effects could be produred by such a small number of instrumental- ists. We were very pleased that the com- pany were so well patronised; the hali was literally packed, while a great number failed to get admitted at all. We hope to be favoured by another visit of this talen- ted company. Quarterly Meeting.—On Wednesday and Thursday, 9th and 10th inst., the quarterly meetings of the Congregationalists of the eastern district of Carmarthenshire were held at the New Chapel in the Crescent Rd. Services were held on Wednesday at 7, and Thursday at 10.30 a.m., 2 and 6.30 p.m., when sermons were preached by the ministers in the district. Public Meeting.—This meeting, which was adjourned from the 7th inst. was held at the Public Hall on Monday evening, the 14th inst. This, like its predecessor, was heralded by placard, with the distinction that the placard calling this meeting was signed by the chairman of the first meet- ing, whereas the first placard was not signed at all. All nominees of candidates to" municipal honours were invited to at- tend and give their views. Of the 15 gentlemen nominated for the Urban Dis- trict Council, 5 only attended, and 2 out of this 5 had already withdrawn. We heard the views of four of these gentlemen, but there were no questions put to them, as we were made to understand at the pre- vious meeting would be the case. Those that spoke were Messrs. J. Young Davies, C Jenkins, E. A. Harries, and D. Evans. We had no new matter introduced, neither was there any new light thrown on such matter as had been thrashed energetically at the previous meeting. At the end of the speeches we were practically as we wore." Next we were favoured with the views of the candidates for seats at the Board of Guardians at various degrees of length. There were Messrs. Joseph Davies J. W. Jones, W. Jones, and D. -Evans. These speeches again contained nothing new or original, at least that had any bear- ing on the matter under consideration. We had also speeches from the Revs. W. Davies and Peter Jones, Messrs. D. Mo'gan and W. Griffiths. Canvassing came irl for some I very rough handling, indeed, so much was the wrath of some of the speakers, and ap- parently a goodly number of the people as- sembled kindled against it, that it was ac- tually proposed, seconded, and carried by an overwhelming majority that it be killed outright? But will it be killed so easily? We trow not. A practice that has grown ii,) with human institutions from time im- memorial is not easily and quickly put down. Is it, not very extensively made use of on all sides by all sorts and conditions of men? Merchants, men of business of all classes, candidates for seats on our various public bodies, members of these bodies when they find it expedient, applicants for offices under these bodies, etc., etc. We are inclined to hazard an opinion that in spite of its drawbacks, canvassing will live and also thrive for many a day. The Edu- cation juestion did not seem at this meet- ing to come in for very much discussion. Hostility to it was not held to be an essen- tial qualification in any of the candidates. Perhaps it was taken for granted that each and every of these was healthy and sound in the faith—no question was asked anyone on the point. One of the candidates vol- unteered the statement tilit until the ing of the 7th he did not know that the lecal governiug bodies under discussion had anything to do with the Education Act. 9 Another deplored the fact that the Bible "flS kept out of our Public Elementarv ,schools under the School Board system". There was a goodly attendance of' rate- payers, etc., the etc. being strongly repre- sented. There was a good deal of amuse- ment during thi evening, which > "'wed that this element is not yet eliminated ficm our municipal doings. A Llandilo Man at the 'Varsity Sports.— A Welshman figured prominently in this year's University sports at Oxford. Mr. S. Howard Lockyer, son of the late Mr. Joseph Lockver, Llandilo, and brother of the Rev. Ronald W. Lockyer, of Barry, in the 100 yards handicap lost his race from scratch by only a few inches, and came a good second in the 100 yards scratch race.
LAUCHARSE.
LAUCHARSE. Obituary.—Death has removed another of the old inhabitants in the person of Mrs. David, widow oi Mr. John David, butcher, King Street. Soon after the death of her husband Mrs. David was compelled to re- knquish the business on account of her health, but up to a month ago she was able t) go out with a little assistance. About tnat time she was taken worse, and on Sun- day, the 7th inst., she passed away peaceful- ly at 7 a.m. The funeral was held on the following Thursday, when the remains were interred in the same grave as those of the husband in the Parish Churchyard. The body left the house at 4 o'clock, fallowed by Mr. J. David. Mr. W. David, Mr. Walter- James and Mrs. William Griffiths, sons and Gfcughters, and a large number of relatives and friends. At the entrance to the Church- vard, the procession was met by the Rev. J. lhomas, Vicar, and the Rev. F. Attenbury, Curate, who read the opening sentences. The hymn "Lead kindly Light" was sung in the Church, and the Dead March » was played as the body was taken out, by Mr Oswell, organist of the Church.

Ihe Election.—The County Council Elec- tion m the Laugharne x oiling District was fought on the Education question, and the contest was a very close one. Mr Kvans, the candidate in favour of fair dealing with Vf V (Jluntary Schools, succeeded in ousting Morse the present renresentative and supporter of the Council's illegal action by n, majority of three. The majority would have been much greater, but the strange conduct of a few of the leaders of the Conser- vp.tive party, who gave tneir active suoriovf. to the opposition. And for what? How- ever, the working m.i mT>->^ +n rpc,r„ and all honour to t,V- r,,r n. f.nlemb'ri victory which thev won. and taught the Dissenters. "CJ.UlJ.

Obituary.—It is with deep regret that we have this week to record the death of Mr. Morgan Morgans, Maesyrhiw, which sad event took place on Sunday morning of last week. He had not been in good health dur- ing the past winter, but was then able to do his usual work until the Saturday week pre- vious to his death, when he became worse. Dr. Hopkins of Llangadock was immediate- ly summoned, but in spite of medical aid he passed away after a week's illness, at the age of ofi. Deceased was well known, and was much respected in the place. His ail- ment was inflammation of the lungs. The funeral took place the following Thursday at the Parish Churchyard. The service in the house was conducted by the Rev. E. G. Rees, Carmel, who read a portion of the Scriptures and offered up prayers. Rev. R. Salmon, C.M., gave out a hymn before the cortege left the house of the deceased. At the Church and graveside the services were conducted by the Rev. E. Lloyd, Vicar. Deceased leaves a widow and a number of children to mourn his loss, for whom our heartfelt sympathy is felt. We also regret to have to announce the death of Mrs. z, Jones, Llwyncelynfach, which took Y)Itcq on Wednesday week after a brief anu painful illness. The funeral took place the following Saturday at the Parish church- yard. The services in the house were con- ducted by the Rev. E. Lloyd and in the Church and at the graveside by the Rev. E. Lloyd and Rev..J. Evans, curate. Deceased leaves an aged husband to mourn her loss. Her ailment was dropsy, and she bad at- tained the ripe old age of 77.

The coachman, fortunately, padumf "Iqt?'EAGU SRM 1napwn. UB Nutais out of the trap and escaped injury. The horse continued on its wild career, and it had torn itself loose from the carriage which was found later on the road smashed and totally useless. The horse, however, went home and stood in the stable vavd of the doctor's residence until attended to. The carriage is not fit for further use, and the damage is estimated at about LIO.
