LLANLLAWDOG. I WEDDINO. A pretty wedding took place in Llan- > llawddog Church, near Carmarthen, on Thursday, the 17th ult. The 'bridegroom was Mr R. E. Morris, who is at present a gardener at Glanmorlais, near Carmar- then, and the bride was Mias Anne Williams, cook at I Llanllawddog Vicaiage. They were both much re- I, spected in the neighbourhood, as shown by the bunting displayed and the showers of rice and confetti which II greeted them affer the ceremony. In the unavoidable and regrettaMe absence of the vicar of the parish, the Rev. J. Herbert, B A., who is now recovering from hi8 late attack of pneumonia, the nuptial knot was tied by I his neighbour, the Rev. Preb. Lloyd, vicar of LIao. pumpsaint.

It appears, that Mr. Thomas has done excellent work at Penybont, and the present indications here go to prove that he is going to maintain his high reputation as head teacher. UNDEB MEUCHEIt Y DE.

Davies, Gwaefu Farm, and brother to Mr H. Davies, Pleasant View, and Mrs S. Lewis, Corvus. terrace. Deceased, who was a gifted and able man, left St. Clears about 28 years ago. Since his departure he has been engaged in business as a draper in London, and for a considerable period in France. His mortal remains were conveyed from London on Monday last to Bethlehem Burial Ground, where they were laid for their final rest. The funeral was private, the chief mourners being: Mr B. W. Davies, J.P., Neath; Mr H. Davies, Pleasant View (brothers) Mr S Lewis, Island-terrace (brother- in-law), Other relatives present were Mr J. Thomas, I Manordwylan Mr G Phillips, Moor; and Mrs E.

G Williams, Bethlehem, closed the solemn service with a touching prayr The following acted as bearers:—Mr 0. Saer, Capoi Mair Villa Mr T. Harries, G W.R.; Mr T Davies, Milford Arms; and Mr T.

CLEARING THE AIR.-A country pony, 1 ot a borough horse, borrowed for the dav ly a Mr. Bora from a popular St. Clearian.

This wonderi -il steed harnessed to a vehicle, on arriving a,t the top of that dangerous declivity, old Coach Road Hill, and seeing the historic old Church charged at Derby speed down the hill. making a desperate yet futile attempt to disestablish the Church's old founda,tionsr—fblie enclosure wall, resulting, how- ever,oiilv in the partial dismemberment of its own wooden limbs. Once more it cliiarged behind the Church boundary, taking a bird's eye view in its Gilpin-like pilgrimage of the Old Pilgrim stones.

TRIMSARAN. STRIKE.—-The colliers engaged at the Trim- saran Collieries, to the number of some 250, brought out their tools on Wednesday of last week, and havè since been on strike for better wages. For some considerable time past they have been working at day rates. They are deter mined not to accept the price list offered by the management, and the struggle promises to be a long one. In the meantime the engines which provide the power (electric) for pumping ivater from the mines, and also for working the exten- sive brickworks owned by the company are being attended to and the furnaces fed by the officnls and. clerical staff. Up to the time of writing every tiling is very quiet, but feeling rms ery high. The owner of these works is a Mr. And re v c^iarke. of London, and it is stated that for,a lpng time past lie has been losing money by keeping the works open. At any rate a. tremendous amount of money has been spent on the voi k s during the last couple of years, new workings hav- ing been opened and very extensive new electrical machinery installed. It is feared locally that if there is any unpleasantness that the proprietor will permanently abandon the place.

It was pointed out that many bad debts were allowed at present to be written off beca?me the expense of attending courts at Haverfordwest or Cardigan was too great. John James, Farmyard.

GOLDEN WEDDING OF MR. AND I MRS. D. JONES, PENCERRIG. When publishing the articles on Carmar then&hire Hill-Tops" (Cvmrheiddol, etc.), we were forced by the pressure of other matter to hold over a eauserie, partly antiquarian: on the well-known pic-nic resort near Breohfa, named Crug-Melin. There is no need to hurry now about printing it until the summer approaches. In that article a go<xl deal is said about Mr. Dl. Jones, of Pencerrig, and his memories of the place mentioned. A favourable opportunity of introducing Mr. Jones to the reader in advance now occurs, for he has just been celebrating his golden wedding. The following account is cut from one of the daily papers:— Mr .and Mrs. Daniel Jones, Pencerrig Farm, Peniel, near Carmarthen, have celebrated their golden wedding. Mr. Jones, who led his bride to the altar on Nov. 30, 1860, is 76 years of age, and was born at Goferi, Llanllawddog. Carmarthen- shire. He has a twin sister still alive, Mrs. Lewis Llaaisaint, near Kidwelly. This is the fourth golden wedding in Mr. Jones's family, the other three celebrations being those of Mr. and Mrs. Tlios. Jones, Priory Foundry, Carmarthen Mr. and Mrs. David Jones, Ffynonnewydd, Lllln pumpsaint; and Mr. and Mrs. Davies, Morris- ton. Mrs. Jones, who is 71 years of age, is the daughter of the late Mr. John Thomas, Hafod, Peniel, her only surviving brother being Mr. D.

HAVERFORDWEST NOTES. -n The death occurred at Belle V He Terrace of Mr Harry Chapman, baker, a native of Somerset, The deceased was onlv thirty years of age was a member of the Albany Churoh. A mem- orial serviee was held on Sunday evening, when the trwalia Glee Party, of which deceased was a member, rendered ''Lead, kindly Light."

Sir Owen Scourfield presided. The enthusiasm was un- bounded. and from it one may infer that Mr. Lort Phillips will have a large maloritv of voters from his native town. On Tliursday and Friday last a most successful bazaar was held in the Masonic Hal] in aid of the funds of the Bethesda (Baptist) Church The re- sult exceeded the anticipation of the most sm- guine. The stalls were presided over by the ladies of th» Church, and the various articles for sale were marked at very reasonable figures, Thih contributed largely -to the success. The b.-zaar was opened on the first day by Ladv Philioos, of Picton Castle, who .apologised for the absence of Sir Charles, as a large house partv was being entertainedat Picton. Th? Mayor (Councillor G -N f?iv<)r ( C olliiol l l,-)" f,' H. Llewellin) performed the opening cere/.ion v rn the second day.

I THE PRICE OF MILK. LTO TD. 8DITOR OF TD. WIILRHMAN. "I ) Sm,-I was greatly astonished to read your tirade against the Carmarthen farmers for seek ing a fair price for their milk. You constantly Urge farmers to co-operate, but no sooner do they do so, in a way that touches your pocket, than you cry out as one greatly aggiieved. You un doubte.lly' know, or ought to kno.,vl that feeding milch cows during the winter season is an expen sivc business, and fxdly justifies a rise in the price of milk. It is a specious argument to spealt of the poor children who are deprived of their daily allowance of milk on account of the rise. Is not the supply cut off through the cupidity and obstin- acy of tlie parents in their unjust effort to rob t] i o farmer of J due? The ea.5e of the wholesal e dealer in milk is not at all a parallel one, as the. expenses and risks are altogether different. I Prices are advancing generally. Wages are far higher than they were, and rents and rites tena to grow continually, and the despised agricultur- ist's burden becomes heavier and heavier-but h ->. must sell his milk at a discount lest the poor chitireii. of his prosperous neighbours shouid suffer! I have been disdlusioned, Sir. by your letter. I believed y. H to be the farmer's trienr! You stand for Tariff Reforn. that the farmer might have higher price., for his produce, but when he applies this principle to yourself and votie neighbours in regard to one article you scream immediately I trust the Cuma rt hen fa: n et1 will not betray each other, but that they will stick to their guns, and it will not be long befora the condensed milk grows sour. Yours, etc.. F AIRPLAY. [We do not support Tariff Reform in the sense of simple Protection. It would be a mistake to create monopolies. The kind of Tariff Reform and the kind of co-operation we advocate are such as would help our farmers, tradesmen and others to compete on reasonable terms with Denmark Germany, America and Japan. If lhese milk- vendors round Carmarthen are willing to let, the foreigner tread on the neck of the British farmer tha,t is their affair; but it is a mean and foolish policy to try and make up the loss !y forming little "J ings to extort extra profits from the poor in their own country and their own immedi- i ate neighbourhood. We are glad to hear that j there is some rise in the wages paid to th Industrial school children.-—ED.]

ASSOCIATION MATCH—L VMPETER COL-! LEGE v. CARMARTHEN COLLEGE. i LTO THa lOltOB O. THa WURMAN.' .J SIR,—The comments of "Spectator M on this I game are so incorrect and grossly unfair to Lam- peter that I ask you to allow me to explain mat- ters. About amolllth or go ago Carmarthen Col- lege were asked if they would supply a referee other than Mr. Holmes, as he had proved un- satisfactory on previous occasions, and this re quest was granted On the morning of the match our captoain waited on the Secretary of the Car marthen College Athletics to see who was the referee .and was informed t;hat it was Mr. Logan, a member of the staff. Thereupon a neutral referee was asked for, but this request was im- mediately declined, and characterised as ridicul- ous. Eventually, after a. heated discussion Mr. Logan was agreed to. Now, Sir, 1 wish you to note two other things which occurredduring this conversation 1. The Carmarthen Secretary was most em- phatic in ruling that in any case of dispute the visitors should be given the benefitof the doubt. 2. His description of Lampeter sportsmanship j V as anything but polite, and not content with j this he indulged in personalities by asserting that our worthy secretary was anything but a gentle- man. Now, Sir, he is entitled to his own ideas as to sportsmanship, but we do insist upon being treated as gentlemen. When we go to Carmar- then we go as gentlemen to play gainst gentle- men, and we expect at least common Cl-Vi Ii." ty. This is the crux of the whole question, for our men highly resented the Carmartii j iSecreta ry\s ntti I tude, and demanded an apology before the game, but this was not forthcoming. Now, as to the disputed goal; what are the facts? The referee, who was in mid-field at the time, could not possibly fairly judge. He con- sulted the linesmen, but they were not agreed that it was a goal. If the referee, therefore, had followed the rules of the game .rid the Carmar then Secretary's ruling, Lampeter been given the benefit and his decision should in fairness have been" no goal." However, before this error, which was but the climax of a long string, although the game was only in progress 113 minutes, the referee had already e red to the decided detriment of Lampeter. Do you want few instances!"1 1 will give you three, namely, wfcvn ths home goalkeeper carried the Mil ove: two steps (D.ef. 3, and rule 8); when the referee disregarded the touch judge's flag near the (-or- ner and when the Lampeter outside right was deliberately fouled by a Carmarthen man as 11,) was on the point of shooting for goal. Further- more these blunders on the part of the referee, when taken together with the assertion of Car- marthen that the result had l>cen -decided before hand. and the refusil of a neutral referee, made the matter look suspiciously like a put-up job. ri his simuply added fuel to the fire, for our men were feeling highly laboui the refusal of an apology, and so they walked of This is not the first time Carmarthen have had trouble of this sort. Sufficient it ds for me tc remind you of Aberystwyth and Hendy. I should have thought that previous trouble would have improved things and instilled a better sporting spirit into Carmar- then College. There are two further statements I cannot let go unheeded. The suggestion that Lampeter ha t pre-arranged to walk off is simply ludicrous, and indicates the depth of the intelligence of the author. Lampeter went down to play eleven men (according to the rules of Soccer), lose or win and when they went on the field tli-sy had no in- tention of walking off until the and of the game. When they found they were playirg against twelve men they instantly at the captain's bid- ding waked-off. In this they cortainly did the right thing, and followed the course that all true sports would. The motto of all true sportsmen is "fair play," and until Carmarthen College d0. velop this precious ittitude of the British char acter they have not the least right to call them- selves "sports." and I should like to add that some should at least, learn to act las gentlemen to their visitors. All tea-ms coming to Lampeter are treated is gentlemen at most liberally enter- tained. Lastly the two Lampeter representatives, to gether with the referee and the Athletic Secretary did not go to the College to thrash matters out. They went to Picton Place re the apology, when this was then given. Had this been given before the game a great deal of unpleasantness would have been avoided. j I a.m sorry, Sir/tohave trespassed so much on vour va]u3b1 "p3ce. lut in fair play tbi? whe'e case should be gh en. Thanking you for inserting this, I remain. yours truly. A LAMPKTER SE-NTOR. [The a bore letter was unavoidably left over last week.]

ELECTIOKS IN PEMBROKESHIRE. [Continued from page 6.] lr. "Walter Roch arrived during the progress of the meeting, being greeted with loud cheers. lr. Lort Phillips, he remarked, said the previous evening that nothing would have induced him to stand for Parliament if it were not that the Con- stitution of the country was in danger. Would he tell them what was in danger ? It was the liberties of the people that were in danger. If the Constitution was in danger it was endangered when the Lords threw out the Budget. Mr. Lort Phillips also said he was afraid of single-chamber government. There were ten years of single- chamber governm.ent the last time the Tories were in power. Mr. Lort Phillips did not fear single-chamber government when it was a Tory single-chamber government. Major Guest, speaking at Haverfordwest Mar- ket Hall, on Saturday, said this whirlwind cam- paign would result in sweeping away the v eto of the Lords (applause). The meetings t ö had ad- dressed in the constituency were gro.vingin size, in determination and in enthusin »:'i. rille thev looked at this great battle he more it was seen to be a battle in which the pe(\p.e vce deeply concerned. The enthusiastic deternnnati j.n of the Liberals in the Pembroke Boroughs had struck him as stupendous, and when he realised t he strengt h of Liberalism in the constituency he was confident that they were going forward to vic- tory. jh. W. F. Roch said be had been laid up, suf- fering from a stiff neek-like the House d lunh (laughter). And like himself, the Pe-Ms vould shortly have to undergo slight surgical tpei.v- tion. Last January the Tories attempted to frighten the elec torate by telling them that If they returned a Radical Government they would hear the booming of guns in Milford Haven (laughter). There were no German guns booming now, but instead they heard the chink of American dollars (laughter). Mr. T. P. O'Connor told him before leaving "Westminster that hundreds .of su bscri bers to the Irish fund were Irish servants an 1 irish labourers, who had been driven from the r native country. The five years of Liber ii govern incut had been marked by gradual progress, g-a dual emancipation, a struggle the whole nation for liberty—'liberty in religion and in tilt school. There had also been a struggle Lo rid the people from the curse of intemperance .and a. sfcrugg'n for economic liberty. Lord Ash by St. Ledgers said the Pe/nb>- ;i,e Bor. oughs would poll early, and he asked them to staJid firm by the flag of liberty. Councillor Isaiah Reynolds moved a resolution supporting the candidates, the Rev. Jottn. Michael seconded, and Aid. Morgan Thomas and Rev. D. Davies supported. The resolution was carried unanimously A successful meeting in support of Mr. Marlay Samson, the Unionist candidate, was held at Lam- iieter Velfrev, presided over by Mr. Wilfrid Lewis, of Henllan. The candidate was well received. He spoke of the absurdity of the Government's proposals how they would allow legislation to be dealt with by men whom they had pronounced in- competent to legislate; how they would, as a matter of fact, place our country under the dom- ination of a single Chamber or the most powerful faction therein. Dealing with the Unionists' al- ternative proposals he exposed the hypocrisy of the Radical cry" government by the people," [Xtinted out that this could only be attained by the Unionist policy. The fact that the Radicals dreaded a referendum should be sufficient to con- vince any moderate, common-sense man that the Government's policy was a hollow sham. Mr. J. B. Bowen, the grandson of the last Con- servative member for the county, spoke on land reform. Mr. Lort Phillips is ably supported by an ideaJ piece, of electoral machinery organised by Mr. Stokes, of Tenby, and Mr. Birt. of Milford Haven, and the working men Unionists of the division. The impression which the Unionist candidate has made upon the electors is regarded with nothing short of alarm in Liberal quarters. He is recog- nised by them as the most formidable opponent they have ever had to contend with. Mr. Lort Phillips is holding the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in the constituency. Addressing a. meeting of his supporters at Ney- land on Friday lr, Lort Phillips, declared that despite the Radical attack on the House of Lords, they were- the largest recruits to it. and, despite their claim to be democratic and patriotic, their Government was itself being governed by an oli- garchy of Socialists and Irishmen, backed by American dolla rs. In- striking at the very loun- datum of the British Constitution, which had stood the test of ages and gamed the admiration of every civilised nation, the "Molly Maguires and the Socialists, through the Radical Govern- nient, had also struck at the heart of innumer- able Britishers, almost irrespective of party. Tht- speaker said he was in favour of 'and reform, but a.n enthusiastic opponent of the nationalisa- tion of property. Mr Marlay Samson addressed crowded moet- mgs. presided over by Mr. J. Railey and Mr. J. V. Colby. of Ffvnone, respectively, at Kilgerraii mid Newch a pel Schoolrooms. Dealing with the present election Mr. Marlay Samson argued that the country was payMig the price of Mr. Asquith's bargain with Mr. Redmond. The candidate analysed the Liberal proposals in regard to the Second Chamber, exposing the shal- lowness of their arguments and establishing the soundness of the Unionist alter native.schemes of Reform and Referendum. In regard to Home Rule Mr. Samson reminded his audiences of the similar conditions in 188-1 when the action of the Nonconformists in refusing to abandon their (0- religionists in Ireland, gave the Liberal a bare majority of 119 in Pembrokeshire. A significant feature ot both meetings was the unanimity with which the usual votes wer", car Colonel F C. Meyrick. of Bush, presided over a large meeting at the Pembroke Assent y Rooms on Saturday night, when Mr. L-ort Philbpb. the. Unionist candidate for the Borougtis, gj"ve assu- ring address. He said that his opponent had been making a great many promises, and sf id that he had many weighty friends b-hm I him. He might tell them that if they put him into Parliament he had just as many weignty fiends behind his hack (cheers). He referred at some "length to the Second Chamber question and said that Mr Balfour's proposals were thorough v de?ocra,ti< The House ot Lords at P1'^1 fontained most of the clever hea?s ot tne coun- tTV. Thev had been sent there because they were the cream of the country. Proceed Mg, he said that Mr. Balfour was willing to submit Taiiii Rp- tonn the chief plank of his platform to the people before passing it into law but Mr As- quith dared not submit Home Rule to the people. It had been denied by the people twi.-e, and Mr ? uith knew that ,his only <-l?nce of getting it th? ugh was to get it through by œssing: pother B?n front of it. Now that was not straight (hear. hear). After expressing himself in rayour .of ?ny measure of lea?eho?d ?nfrancn?n?.t lJf(}ught forward, Mr. Lort Phillips claimed that l ia.f i sS.,]«■: .) 'vs been very modera.t?-n his pontics, ?nd as lie appealed to moderate men to sup- ?ort tum H<? would never have come fo!ward as he had?nless he had Mieved the situ?on to le absolutely dangerous.. Mr. Marlav Samson also addressed the meeting and met with a most hearty reception. Mr Marlav Samson, the Unionist candidate, addr?s?l two large meetings at Nevern r:~ejr- j ?rt, under the chairmanship of Mr G. B. B(),V3UI S Hw?? wair. The audience embraced a 'a.re nun be of Li?-rals, who gave the can did ate an ?iSit hearing. Mr. Samson pmnted out that Mr Redmond, as master of the House of Com- mons. had only agreed to allow the Budget to go trough on condition that the Government as- ??U.im to secure Home Rule for Ireland Mr Balfour had pledged himself not to admit ar'ir Reform until each elector had had an oppor- 1 tunityo f pronouncing his views on jt. He had challenged Mr. Asquith do the same on tie Home Rule question. Mr. Lort Phillips, addressing a crowded meet- ing at Haverfordwest on Monday night (Sir 0. Scourfield presiding) said that there were several important questions before the nation in the pre- sent crisis, but all these questions hinged on ono subject, and that was whether the Constitution of thi" country should be changed Hr not. It was absolutely unprecedented in thehistory of this kingdom for a great political party to come for- ward and suggest a Constitutional change for the of a number of Irishmen, who were crying for Home Rule Home Rule had been rejected by the people in a not definite manner. Now Mr. Tun Redmond and his supporters; were endeavour- ing to secure the separation of Ireland by a back- door policy, which was certain to fail. Alluding to Tariff Reform, the speaker said thut this ques- tion was as much before the country at the pre- sent moment as it was ten months ago. Tariff Reform would before long be an accomplished fact (applause)- In rested th" salvation of this country. The Unionist party stood for a strong Navy, upon which depended the greatness of Great Britain, lliu Radical Government had seriouslv neglected Pembroke Dockyard and had closed their eyes to the importance of Milford Haven as a naval base. Milford Haven was an unrivalled natural hirbour, pud it wo ill be his endeavour ,if elected as their representative, to advocate the claims of the Haven a naval base. He maintained that Pembroke Dock should have a fair share of Government work—(applause)—an J thai the building of large cruisers should be al- located to the Welsh dockyard (applause) Sir Charles Phdipps, proposing a vote of confi- dence in Mr. Lort Phillips, sai.l that there was no man who had more at heart the welfare of the country, both from a naval as well as from an agricultural point of view. Referring to thd House of Lords, Sir Charles said that if the Radi- cals believed the Second Chamber to be composed of a despicable lot, why had they sent so many of their supporters there? There were some Radi, cals who were dying to get into the gilded Cham- ber. Mr. R. T. P. Williams, who seconded, said that the only man for Pembroke Boroughs was Mr. Lort Phillips, who would not desert tliefn. Sir. Marlay Samson addressed a very successful meeting at Handle ton Schoolroom. Major Wynne presided. Mr. Samson pointed out that there were two courses open to the electors. The Liberal course would lead to Single Chamber Gov- ernment, Home Rule for Ireland, and other far- reaching clianges. The Conservative ci urse was to make a thorough reform of the Second Cham- ber, and to have a reference oirect to the people OIL matters on which" the two Chambers did not agree. Mr .Balfour had given a pledge not to bring in Tariff Reform if returned to power, untii each voter lncj had the chance to write down on paper whether lie was in favour of it or not. Mr. Asquith had refused to do the same bv Home Rule. Addresses were subsequently given by M\ Smith and by Mr. J. B. Bowen. The meeting closed with a unanimous vote of oonfi-dei.ee in the candidate. Mr. Roch, Liberal candidate, is laid up with, a throat affection, and his opponent (Mr. Marlay Samson) has also been somewhat indisposed, so that the doctor has on some occasions forbidden him to certain election meetings. On arriving At the Assembly Rooms, Pembroke on Monday evening Major Guest was received with enthusiastic cheers. Mr. Ben Powell, J.P., pre sided and Councillor Edwards proposed a resolu- tion to the effect that the meeting pledged itself to support Major Guest. The Rev. j". T homas seconded, and it was carried amidst great cheers. Major Guest said if there was one thing that moved him it was a large throng filled with one determination, and that was Liberalism. There was something deep mid serious in the present election. He enjoyed an election, especially when they were on the winning side as they were now. The Liberals had always stuck to their policy, and that was the diffeienee in the two parties. There was not even honesty in the Conservatne party.. When the Premier decided to go to the country on the question of the House of Lords they agreed that the hereditary principle was wrong, and they agreed to reform themselves. But this would not go down with the people. The Tories were like a waterlogged ship. without even a captain, a com- pass ,or a chart to steer by, and they had even thrown overboard their cargo (cheers). But the Liberals had the policy that could be expiessed in two words—Freedom and Equality. The Major also addressed a large meeting at Nevland. A meeting in support of the .joint Cfindidature of Mr. Lort Phillips and Mr. Marlay Samson, Unionist candidates for Pembroke Boroughs and County, respectively, was held at the Victoria Hall, Navberth on Wednesday. There was "ï "ge attendance, and the meeting was mot enthusiastic The chair was occupied by Mr. J. L. H. Williams of Narberth. Both oandidates were given (a hearty reception. Mr'Marlay Samson, after referring to Mr Redmond and his American dollars, said there was to be no confusion of the issues before the elec- tors. The Liberal proposal was to so limit the power of the House of Lords so that Bills could be passed into law without the country being con- sulted. The Commons would pass Bills entirely on their own account. Not a single great and important country in the world had ventured to trust its government to a single chamber. Mr. Lort Phillips now arrived and addressed the meeting. He spoke of the land banks which Mr. Balfour proposed to set up, and from which the people couldborrow money in order to purchase iheir own fa.-ms. He also touched on the sub- ject of the Navy. Mr. Weired Lew is. HenHan, also delivered a capital speech.
