JC- ■ **r*—"= CARDIGAN COUNTY SCHOOL. A meeting of the Governors of the Car- digan County School was held at the tschool 011 Monday. The Rev. J. Williams (chair- nan), presided, and there were also pre- sent Dr. J. W. Stephens, Messrs. Ivor Evans, Benjamin Rees, 0. Beynon Evans, Jchn Owen, E. Ceredig Evans, and Evan Thomas, with the headmaster (Dr. Rees) and the clerk (Mr. J. Stephens). Application for Increase. The caretakers wrote applying for an in- crease of salary, stating that they were obliged to pay a woman once a. week as the work was heavier.—Dr. Rees said the work really was heavier, and they had done it splendidly.—It was stated that they re- ceived 12s. 6d. a week at present, including f.vor)rthing.-It was decided to place the matter on the agenda for the next meeting. Capitation Fees. An application was received from three teachers of the school for payment of capi- tation fü;"s due at Christmas, 1906.—On the motion of Mr. 0. Beynon Eivans, seconded by Mr. E. Ceredig Evans, it was decided to order the payment of the amount due. Advertising. A letter was read from the "Welsh Gazette" applying for a continuation of the advertisement of the school in thot paper.—Mr. B. Rees asked if it was any good.—The Chairman thought it a question to be considered. Was it of any advantoge tc the school that they should advertise at iidl ? There was no doubt that the "Gazette" circulated in some places where the local paper did not. The question was, whether they should continue the advertisement in the local paper after that year, but if they decided to advertise at all he thought the advertisement should be in both papers. There was no doubt something to be said in favour of zi-dver-tising.-It was decided to defer the matter until the next meeting. A Strip of Land. The Clerk reported that the committee appointed to consider the question of letting a strip of land near the school recommended that it be let at a nominal rent subject to the hedge being kept in proper repair.- The reoommendation was confirmed. The School Finances. Mr. Rees asked the Chairman if he had attended a conference of representatives of county schools and the Joint Education Committee ,.Pembrokeshire).-The Chairmen replied that there had been no conference; he had been asked to state his views in waiting, but this he had not done. Pro- ceeding, he said that in connection with that school the proposed, amended scheme was a great hardship, and he thought they ought to protest against it; he had afeked the Clerk to write to the Board of Educa- tion at once to protest, feeling sure that the governors would back him up. (Hear, hear). They had an amended scheme ficm the Education Authority, and, although they did not agree with it, it was more favourable than the one drafted by the Joint Education Committee. Under the old scheme the block grant was t250 to Haver- ford.weat and £ lo0 to other schools in the county, Cardigan School being among them. The new scheme gave Haverfordwest £ 300, Hiid other schools £150, and Cardigan R75. The committee did not deal fairly with the school either on the rateable value or on the number attending the school; if they iad done so they would not have found so much fault. He had accordingly asked the Clerk to ask the Board of Education not to adopt the scheme without first of all hold- ing an enquiry. He said he would not give his views in writing unless the joint com- mittee gave their reasons for making the amendment. He appealed to Mr. Rees, who was a member of the joint committee b attend at the next meeting and protest ,oli the ground of justice.—Mr. Ivor Evans said the attendance from Pembrokeshire was larger and the rateable value was more than some other schools in Pembrokeshire, and he, therefore, thought that they should be- given as much, if not more than other schools. The* Chairman strongly suggested ti-t Mr. Ivor Evans should act as the re- presentative of th& school in place of him- self, but Mr. Evans as strongly refused1 to co so.—-The matter was eventually com- promised by Mr. Ivor Evans promising to attend the meetings with the chairman; fcoth gentlemen, it appears, having origin- .any been appointed representatives. TOWN COUNCIL ELECTION. Polling for the second Cardigan bye- fcleetion through the disqualification of Alderman D. Ivor Evans and the elevation of Councillor J. Daniel to the seat vacated by him, took place on Friday, the rival candidates being Mr. G. H. Mathias, mineral water manufacturer, and Mr. J. Stephens, solicitor Both gentlemen are Liberals and onfor Nonconformists, the fight being conducted on personal grounds owing to dissatisfaction with the conduct of certain members of the Town Council, who, it is thought, needlessly put the town to the expense of two separate elections. Both candidates conducted heavy canvasses, and the subject of the election was the principal topic of conversation for many days. On Friday excitement ran high the whole day long, and as the time approached when the declaration of the poll was expected, the streets in the vicinity of the Guildhall were packed. At about a quarter to nine the Alavor declared the re- .sult from a window of the Guildhall, as follows:— G. H. Mathias 399 Jas. Stephens 261 Majority 138 Immediately there waa loud cheering, and en the appearance of the victor at the Guildhall door he was carried shoulder high to his residence in Priory-street, whence he returned thanks for the honour they had dene rum. The state of the poll was as generally expected, but the large majority polled by Mr. Mathias caused considerable surprise. The total number of votes polled was 664, there being four spoilt papers. At the bye-election a week previously when the -candidates were Mr. J. C. Roberts (283) -and Dr. Brown (227) the total number of votes was 514 (four spoilt papers), so that the .interest of the latter contest can be -gauged by the large number of burgesses who voted at this election but not at the rprevious :me. The number who polled at -the .annual election was 687, and the voting .strength of the borough is. about 750. The usual meeting of burgesses was held in the Council Chamber at the Guildhall on the follow nj; morning (Saturday), when there were present the Mayor (Councillor John Evans), Aldermen A. Clougher and J. Daniel, Councillors R. W. Picton Evans. E. Ceredig Evans, S. Young, D. Ladd Davies, J. Davies. E Bowen (ex-Mayor), and G. H. Mathias, with the Town Clerk (Mr. D. Mor- gan Jones), and a number of burgesses. The Mayor, having declared lr. Mathias duly elected, said he was sure they would join him in congratulating him on the re- sult of the election. He hoped during his term of office thaf he would faithfully fulfil his duties to the town and attend as many ,1Îi 1 meetings as possible, and not only attend Council meetings but also meetings called tor the welfare of the town outside the I Council. Before now he had heard gentle- men who had occupied the chair complaining of the lack of support at meetings which were not Council meetings, but as soon as their year of office expired they had not been seen, at one of the meetings. He in- tended calling many meetings during the year, and he hoped all the members would give him their support and attend strongly. When meetings were called in the interests of the town it it was the duty of anybody to attend he thought it was those who had been elected for the good of the borough. Mr. Mathias, who was loudly cheered, thanked them most heartily for electing him, and all who worked so nobly in bis lavour, especially the workmen of Cardigan, v ho showed that. they were a class to be I eckoned with and not to be cast aside by one or two who thought they were ^qing to rule the town. (Applause). One of his sup- porters told him that he was under the im- pression that it was the duty of the rate- payers to choose councillors, but it seemed by what had taken place during the past week that it was the Councillors themselves who wanted to take that duty. (laughter and applause) There were no fewer than four councillors canvassing against him at St. Dogmells, ond they all fought fairly with one exception, who was mean enough to hit below the belt. He challenged that person to an election to meet the ratepayers of Cardigan provided he gave his word that he would use no undue influence. (Applause). Referring to hi3 election he said ba^^Msurprised that he had so much abiliiSHrrhe ratepayers said if he was return«B,^PRn days Carriers' Lane would be down, and again, that St. Dogmeil's would be within the borough in legs than a week; and these things made him feel a little vain. (Applause). Another thing said was that the rates would go up. Did it, he asked, stand to reason, that lie who paid such heavy rates, would stand meekly by and allow them to go up ? He would not make any grand promises, but he would do his best during the next three years. At present he was an unknown quantity, but he hoped that at the end of three years, when they would have found cut what he was, he would be returned at the head of the poll. (Laughter and applause). CARDIGAN LICENSING CASE. At the Guildhall, Cardigan, on Thursday, before the Mayor (Mr. Joiin Evans), the ex- Mayor (Mr. Jb. Bowen), Mr. NVocKINN-ard and Mr. K. W. Picton Evans, Thomas Lewis, Farmer s Arms, Cardigan, was charged by Deputy Chief Constable Williams, with per- mitting drunkenness to take place on his licensed premises on November 18th, and also with selling intoxicating liquor to a drunken person at the same time and place. -It was decided to take the second charge J lirst, to which defendant pleaded guilty.— D.C.C. Williams said in that case he would not proceed with the first charge against defendant.—Defendant explained that it was his daughter who served the man, and she did not know that he was drunk.—The Bench interpreted this as a plea of not guilty, and proceeded to hear evidence. P.O. Oliver stated that at 6.20 p.m., on the 18th inst. he heard some loud talking inside the Farmer's Arms. He entered the house. and in the bar he saw a person un- known to him drunk; he appeared to be a tramp. He had a pint measure of beer half full in front of him. No one else was pre- sent in the bar at the time. Witness called the attention of the barmaid to his state of drunkenness, and asked the barmaid why she served a drunken man. She made no reply. Witness then told her to turn him out. and witness then left the house and temained outside. In a few minutes the drunken person came out staggering. Wit- ness walked towards him and asked for his name and address. He gave the name of Wm. Griffiths, Newtown, Cardigan. Wit- ness told him to go home quietly. He then became very disorderly and had to be locked up. Subsequently he was convicted on his own admission of drunkenness and was fined 5s. D.C.C. Williams said the man was well-known in Cardigan and had been fined three times within the last two or three years.—Defendant said he had previously had trouble with him at their house.—Defend- ant, sworn, said he was upstairs at about six o'clock, and heard loud talking. He heard the noise of his wife trying to get the man out. He came downstairs and saw Griffiths with a pint pot in his hand, which was about half full, and he tried to take it from him. His daughter went out when de- fendant. entered the bar. The man was talking about selling spectacles; he was noisy, but defendant could nob say there was anything the matter with him. He sa:d he would not go out until he had finished the In I pint, and .then he would go out like a gentleman.—Defendant then put him out.- By the Bench: Defendant would have served the man if he h,.d been in the bar. He thought there was something the matter when he became so noisy.-Rebema Lewis, defendant's daughter, said she had acted as barmaid for two or three years. She remembered Wm. Griffiths coming to the house between 6 and 6.30 p.m. on the 18th inst. Witness was in the bar. The man asked for a pint of beer, and witness sup- plied it. Witness noticed his condition when he came in and she thought he was alright. The man was talking very loudly.—Cross- examine by D.C.C. Williams: The man was in the house five or ten minutes before the constable came in. The man walked out alright. Witness tried to get the man out before the constable came in because he was disorderly, but she could not say whether he was drunk. The man was trying to sell spectacles, and got nasty because she would not buy any.—In reply to the Bench witness said the man was not drunk before she served him with the pint of beer.—Amid laughter witness was told she should not serve the beer too strong, but put more water in it.- D.C.C. Williams said he did not press for a heavy penalty, the house was a well-conducted one. He wanted to get rid of those drunken people who were a danger to the public and the police as well.—The Bench consulted in private, after which the Mayor said they had carefully gone into the matter, and as the Deputy Chief Constable did not press the charge and in the faco. of the evidence of the daughter that she did not think the man was drunk when he entered, and in order not to have a conviction registered. they dismissed the case, but defendant would have to pay the costs. The Bench wished to warn defendant as to the future to be more careful.-Defendant said he had been careful for about thirty years, and the Deputy Chief Constable remarked that that was probably the reason why the Bench took such a lenient view of the case.

N E WoXSTr.E EM L YN PETTY SESSIONS. Mr. A. H. James (in the chair), Colonel Lewes, Capt. Lewes, Mr. T. Davies and Mr John Lewis were the presiding magistrates at the Newcastle Emlyn Petty Sessions on Friday. School Attendance. Jas. Evans, Mount Pleasant, Cilrhedyn, was summoned by Jas. L. James, school at- tendance officer, for neglecting to send his child regularly to school.—The case was adjourned from the last court owing to prosecutor disputing the validity of a certi- ficate gwhich defendant produced.—Mr. Roy Evans appeared for the defendant.—Prose- cutor stated that the child was not yet 14 years of age, and from September 16th to October 18th had made only 15 attendances out of a possible 34. He (prosecutor) had been instructed to press the case because it had become prevalent for parents to be negligent in sending their children to school when they were about 14 years of. age and had passed standard 6. It meant a con- siderable loss to the county in Government grants. The bye-laws distinctly stated that no child was exempt from school who had not attained a labour certificate. During this period the child certainly did not have a labour certificate, and the parents had several times been warned to send the child to school. Since the proceedings were instituted a labour certificate had been ob- tained -Cro," -examined: The reason why be did not attend school was because he was employed at the Post Office as a letter car- rier. Prosecutor admitted that he was the top boy in the school, and had reached a nigher curriculum than was provided for by the local education authority.—Mr. Hoy Evans put in the labour certificate and also a certificate of efficiency from the head- master of the school.—The Bench considered

Wit- ness drew his attention to the build ot the carriage. It had an open front, a dash board, and steps, and was not inscribed. Defendant told him that it was inscribed, but witness found that it only bore "his ini- tials. Witness drew his attention to the mud on the wheels, and also some meal in the vehicle, whereupon the defendant ad- mitted having used it as a market cart on the previous Tuesday by going to Llany- byther for the meal. Defendant, in conclu- sion told witness that if he used it again he would take out a lieense.-Defendaiit said he regretted that he and Mr. Down had misunderstood each other, as witness was a Welshman and Mr. Down an Englishman. He had not used the carriage this year. He asked Mr. Down if he could use the trap to go to Llanybyther with some butter. Mr. Down replied that if he did not take out a license he would report him. It was a second-hand trap, and had only been used a a market cart.—Cross-examined by Mr. Hill, defendant admitted having the trap in his possession. It had a dash board, splash boards, steps, and springs. He admitted showing Mr. Down some meal in the trap but he (defendant) thought it would most probably be some sawdust. (Laughter). He never had taken out a license. He had a signboard with his name and address, but it was not put on the trap that day as it had not been in use this year.—The bench did not consider there was sufficient evidence to convict and dismissed the case.

Wit- ness had to eject him.—D.C.C. Williams read a letter from defendant enclosing 10s. in payment of a fine.-Mr. Harford: You had better keep that. (Laughter).—A fine of that amount was imposed. Gipsies in Trouble. Patsy Lovell. a gipsy, was charged with pitching a tent on the highway at Pen- ffordd, Llanwenog on the 2nd lit.-Tlle Deputv Chief Constable at the outset in" formed the bench that the conduct of the gipsies was very bad and they went about threatening people.-P.C.

He heard Hughes offer Is. 6d., and saying "You don't want Is. 6d. for a little thing like that. "Will you take Is. 6d." asked Hughes. "No" said the defendant, "I'll take 2s."

ABEHAYRON.
ABEHAYRON. "A Box of Bricks."—Lecturing at Lam- peter this week, the Rev. Stanley Jones, of Carnarvon, administered a sharp rebuke to the Congregationalists "It is a shame," he said, "to us as a denomination that we had not before now raised funds for a memorial to the immortal Dr. Phillips. of Neuadd- lwvd), in substitution for that box of bricks which lies over him." Dr. Phillips, em- phasised the lecturer, rendered as much service to the denomination as Daniel Row- lands, of Llangeitho, did to the Calvinistic Methodist cause. THE BERLIN DISASTER. HUSBAND'S CLAIM FOR DAMAGES. The claim of Captain Jones, of Aberayron, with reference to the death of his wife in the steamship Berlin off the Hook of Hol- land was before the registrar in the Admir- alty Division on Friday for assessment of damages. The defendants are the Great Eastern Railway Company, the owners of the steamship Berlin. The Registrar re- served his award. The case, which is of a sensational char- acter, is a claim by Captain David Jones, of Preswylfa, Aberayron (for whom Messis. George David and Evans, Cardiff, are act- ing), to recover damages for the loss of his wife, who was a passenger in the ill-fated Berlin. Supporting the captain's claim are allegations of a truly startling natuie. It is set. out that whilst Captain Jones, in feverish anxiety, was cruising near the scene of the disaster vainly searching for the body of his wife it was washed ashore, and a couple of unknown persons elaimed to be relatives and robbed tne dead of money, jewellery, and belongings. Quite by accident (the captain says) he gleaned information that his wife had been buried, and after some trouble he secured an exhumation order. It was only then that he discovered how the adventurers had played their part, for everything of value had been taken from the dead body. The total claimed is £ 2,168 10s., which includes £ 168 10s. for the personal belong- ings alleged to have been appropriated. Mrs. Jones, as we stated at the time, was journeying by the ill-fated steamer to Rotterdam in order to meet her husband, who was expected to arrive there with his ship. He arrived the day after the disaster. For some weeks, it is alleged, the captain was in the vicinity, and at length he acci- dental^ obtained an inkling of the fact that his wife was buried. Information of the discovery of the body, it is said, was pro- mised him by the authorities, but not given him. Although the body was much decom- posed, Captain Jones was able to identify it by means of certain marks. The present proceedings are by affidavit, and oome before the Admiralty Regisarar, who has power to assess the damages. MISCREANTS VANISH. Every effort has been made to trace* the man and woman who are supposed to have robbed the body in the grave, but nothing has since been heard of the ghouls. It is interesting at this juncture to ex plain Section 503 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, now replaced by a section in the Act of 1906 more favourable to shipowners. Under that section the liability of owners for personal injury and for loss of merchan- dise caused by an accident to the ship is limited to R15 per ton of the gross registered tonnage. Thus, the-Great Eastern are able to set aside £ 25,541, and can look on com- placently whilst juries make huge awards. Among the items set out in the statement of claim said to have been stolen are:— £ s. d. Cash 5 0 0 Watch and chain 25 0 0 Sable muff and boa # 30 0 0 Three bangles and brooches 21 0 0 Sealskin Jacket and cape 45 0 0 Trunk 1 15 0 Handbag 0 15 0 Wearing apparel 40 0 0 Total £ 168 10 0

It was re- solved unanimously to make grants to the following schools :-Carrog, Llawrybettws, Llanelltyd, Gellilwydan, and St. Thomas. It was further resolved that the emergency jchools be maintained by the Committee until permanent buildings are provided, and the Merioneth Education Committee ac- t repted their transfer.

¡ I Words to Women. A Business Woman Tells how her time of Suffering was ended by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Roberts, who has a restaurant at 64, St. Domingo Road, Eveiton, feels that at middle age she has taken a new lease of life, and tells with enthusiasm how she has been restored to splendid health by Dr. Williams' ¡ Pink Pills for Pale People. "If you wish me to make an affidavit as to the great benefits I have derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I will most willingly d) so," she remarked to a reporter recently. "I know that in the ordinary course ot. nature women have to undergo an anxious experience at my time of lire, and it is only in the interest of my sex that I make this statement, so that others can benefit at I have done. THE MOST MARVELLOUS MEDICINE. My restoration to health," she resumed, "is solely due to what I consider the most marvellous medicine of the age, Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. "You see I am fifty-three years of age and, having this business to superintend, I am a very busy woman, so my change of liea 1th was a very serious matter. I felt l terrible pains all over my body, and somø times my limbs felt so numbed and stiffened that I feared the approach of paralysis; and every time I moved I had an inclination to fall. Mv legs became swollen and in- flamed. and seemed to be full of water. They became an abnormal size. My feet ached. I was never free from splitting headaches, constantly I had cold perspira- tions, my face became deathly white, and my eyes were dark and sunken. SEIZURES OF PAIN. "My appetite entirely failed, and after a. few morsels of food I felt a tearing pain in my chest, accompanied by seizures of pain in the back that almost prostrated me. The least exercise produced spasms, and as I went upstairs I would sometimes fall gasp- ing on the staircase. "The nights only meant increased weari- ness for me. In the morning when I had to go to the market I could hardly drag one leg after the other. My sight became dim, and my hearing failed me. I had a hacking rough" My Vials became more severe through an attack of influenza. I lost the power of my voice and could only whisper; and a shooting, heavy pain under the heart gave me great anxiety. el A WONDERFUL CURE. "I took many medicines, but derived no benefit from them. Then I was recommended to take Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Before I took them I was a wasted, almost useless body, but after a few boxes of these wonder ful pills I felt quite revived, and to-day I feel like a new woman. Through taking Dr Williams' Pink Pills my body was nourished by new, warm blood, my limbs grew strong, my appetite became good, and I could digest my food properly. I became quite strong again. Hundreds of customers come into my shop, and I never fail to tell them of the benefits I have derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. AT THE ANXIOUS TIME. "All women understand how anxious a time is middleage—the years from forty to fifty. To many it is a time of great dangler. During that trying experience the recovery of health and the protection of life depend) mainly upon one thing—the supply to the system of plenty of new rich blood. This is obtained by-. taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They hiVe cured Women's Ailments, Anaemia, General Weakness, Debility, De- cline, Indigestion, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and all Nervous Disorders. Only the genuine pills cure (substitutes are worse than useless), and these bear the full name on each Pacb —j)r. Williams Pink Pills for Paltt People.

Harris stated that when he served de- fendant with the summons she said "I will tell you the truth. I served Wm. Powell with a pint of beer, but I never thought at the time that he was so drunk." P.C. Dav- ies came in when ho had the beer before, him, and he was very drunk. He (witness) had seen defendant previously in the day stagger- ing drunk. The time was about 11.30.— Cross-examined: Witness did not say to Mrs. Thomas when she spoke to him that it was diffi.Cult .to know when Powell was drunk.-P..C. "Davies, informant, stated that on the 26th ult. at 11.30 a.m. he visited the White Lion and he there saw Wm. Powell in the back kitchen very drunk. He had a pint, of ale in front of him about half full. Witness asked defendant who had served Powell. and she said: "I served him, I could not-see be was under the influoice of drink, and I thought one pint of beer would not harm him." Powell was in the act of going to drink the remainder of tha ale when witness took the pint from him and handed it to Mrs. Thomas. Powell tsnid, "It is my beer, I paid for it." Mrs Thomas said to Powell, "You can have the beer again when you get sober," and to'd him to go out. Powell got up to go, stagger- ing and cursing, and when he got outside, witness had to threaten to lock him up be- fore he would go away. About quarter of an hour before going to the White Lion he was standing near Angel House where Powell worked, and tried to get him into their yard, but he would not listen to his employers or witness.—Cross-examined: Wit- ness was sure of the time being 11.30. Wit- ness did not watch the White Lion more than any other licensed house, and he bore no ill-feeling towards the licensee.—For the defence, Wynne Davies, Angel House, said his brother, W. H. Davies, went to Cardi- gan at about 11 o'clock on the date in ques- tion.—Witness was speaking with Powell and W. H. Davies outside the Angel, and it was not more than eight minutes after- wards that he saw Powell and P.C.

For nine years she was in the service of the late Prebendary Rice Lloyd. Between 10 and 11 o'clock on the date named she was in the backyard, nursing the baby and talking to her husband who was cleaning out the stable. Rachael Evans, her servant, was washing out the stone passage. She looked up and saw Wm. Powell, who said to Rachael, "You are washing out clean." Witness went to open the front door, and as she did so she met P.C. Davies. She swore she met P.C. Dav- ies at the front door and not at the kitchen door. Until she met Davies she could not tell that Powell was drunk. It was not more than two minutes from the time she first saw Powell to the time she saw P.C. Davies at the door. She did not speak to Rachael Evans before P.C. Davies came in. Witness could see her bringing a pint into the kitchen as she passed. Witness knew the pint was for Powell because there was nobody else in the house. She had intend- ed to see- Powell for herself, after opening. the front door. She did not wish to conceal that Powell was on her premises, and she took the constable straight to the kitchen. She told him that Powell had been served, hut she did not say that she did so. She was in the habit of managing her own bar, and had no barmaid. P.C. Davies said when witness told him Powell had been served, that every other public house had refused him. and witness said, "How then can he be drunk." At P.C. Davies' request witness removed the pint from Powell and at that time it was lull, and she was positive that Powell had not drunk anything out of it. She and the police were not friendly, it did not look like it at any rate. (Laughter). -C,ross-exa mined: Witness did not tell P.C. Davies or Sergt. Harris that she had served Powell with the beer.

Powell, quoting the case of Somerset v. Wade in which the facts, he said, were almost identical.—The Bench consulted in private, after which the Chair- man said that the case would be dismissed.
