Ponty- pool, appeared at the local court on Satur- day to answer six summonses for allowing children to be in a bar m his house at a. time other tha'n during tho hours of closing on October 2.; and Elizabeth Hoffman, Annie Connors, Mary Anne Williams, PoOse Williams. Aiics Phillips, and Alice Watkins, married women, were summoned for causing the children to bo in the bar. Mr. W. J. Everett, Pontypdol, defended. Police-sergeant Powell said that he visited defendant's house, and eaw a woman with a child in her arms enter, and defendant directed her to a room which was marked "Kitchon." Witness asked him where he kept the children who were brought to the house, and he pointed to that room, and said that he had baen advised by a magistrate that that room was not a bar within the meaning of the Act. Witness entered the kitchen and dining room. and found six women and children in there, to- gether with a 'arge number of adults, who were all drinking, or were being supplied with drink. He told the wompn and children that they would bo reported, and also the la.ndlord. Mr. Everett submitted that he had no case to answer owing to the fact that the rooms were not bars within the meaning of the Act. and he called the licensee, who siid that neither of the rooms was used for the sale of liquors except on lair days and market days. Or.nervvise, they were set apart ex- clusively for tho private use of himself and his fatt'ily. The Chairman said that the bench were of orininn tTTti the iav; on the snhject was n0t sufficiently clear, and, therefore, they would impose a fine upon the defendant of 10s. tnr the first offence, and dismiss the whole of the ottur ca-.

ASSESSMENT SCANDAL AT CARMARTHEN. ALLEGED INEQUALITIES IN RURAL PARISHES ALSO. The vexed question of the assessments was again raised at the monthly meeting Off trie Carmarthen Town Council. What are the over.-eors doing'?" asked Mr. D. E. Williams, who, it will be remembered, first raised the question of rating inequalities. They all seemed to be in the dark (he added) with regard to the assessment. Were the overseers actually doing anything? Mr. W. Isaac (an overseer): They are reo va,luing. Mr. Wiilianis: When a.ro we likely to get a report of the assessment ? Mr. Isaac: At the end of the twelve mo-niths. Mr. Treharne; I am afradd it will come soon enough. Mr. Williams: For some of yon, perhaps. (Laughter.) I suppose wo shall have it before the oomm-encement of next March? Mr. Isaac: Oh, no. Mr. L. D. Thorr-as (another overseer): The overseers have to present their liffi, to 1 be assessment committee. T'aey have instructed us. not this council. ("Oh, oh!") Mr. JI. E. B. Richards (with warmth): Do you mean to imply that we have no interest in the manner in which the overseers do f/reir work, especially in view of the faet that %ve appoint you? I should also like to know whether that portion of the resolution ca.rried by this council—a resolution relating to the action of the assessment committee in re<spect of the re-valuine-, if possible, of the whole union—has been given effect to. From my investigations I find that the union is in a most deplorable &tate; in fact, in many cases it is worse than the borough. If that be so, then the burden that won Id be thrown upon the ratepayers of til", borooigh would be very great indeed. Mr. Oliver Jones: What has become of the petition which was presented to the Presi- dent of the Local Government Board, Mr. John Burns? The Mayor (Mr. J. Grossman): I think that was a private matter. Mr. A. J. Jones: I think it was a public matter. It was sent all round the town. The Mayor said that the town-clerk had sent to the assessment committee a resolu- tion of the council supporting a request of the Carmarthen Ratepayers' Association that the whole union should be re-assessed, but no reply had been received. Mr. Richards a-skcd whether the report was accurate that when the letter containing the council's resolution was presented to the assessment committee it was ordered to lie on the table. If that were so, then that meant practically treating the council's letter with contempt. Mr. Richards said he sent the petition to tJ1e Local Govcrument Board, who informed him that they were addressing a letter to the assessment committee. In a further com- munication from the board he got a copy of the comm i tt("("8 reply, and according to that no steps had been taken to re-value the union, but an order had been given to the overseers to re-value the borough and merely solitary cases in the union where they con- sidered advisable. He (Mr. Richards) made further investigations, and re found m-net glaring instances of under-rating outside the borough having been ordered to be re-valued by the assessment committee. Mr. Williams: The overseers are appointed by the council, and the ratepayers expect them to do their duty. Mr. Isaac: We are doing our duty. Mr. Richards moved that the clerk write to the Local Government Board pointing out the injustice felt through the re-valuation of tho borough alone being made, and asking the board to write to the assessment com- mittee with respect to the re-valuation of the whole union. Mr. James Davies seconded the motion which waa adopted.

UNFENCED BRIDGE. LLANELLY CHILD DROWNED IN SWOLLEN STREAM. Mr. W. W. Brodie conducted an inquest at C.vmbaoh, Llanelly, on Wednesday on the body of Samuel E. Rees. the two-year-old child of David Rees, Coffee Tavern, Cwm^ach, who was found drowned in a stream at the rear of the house on Tuesday. Margaret Emily Rees. mother of the deceased, said that on missing the child, she looked over the wall at the rear of the house, from where she saw the deceased lying in the river abont 200 yards away. In reply to the coroner, witness said that the stream, which ran close to the back door, was fenced off for a little distance, but the bridge which spanned the stream was unguarded. The river wan flooded on the previous day. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death." and added a rider recommending that the riverside and the bridge should be guarded, so as to prevent any future acci- dents.

MUSICAL TONGUE OF THE HILLS. MR. LLOYD GEORGE ON NEED OF BILINQUALISM. When it was arranged tha.t Mr. Lloyd George was to speak at Newcastle the Rev. J. E. Roberta, of the Welsh Presbyterian Church at Spennymoor, a mining centre in tho Durham coalfield, about twenty miles from Newcastle, wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer inviting him to address the Welsh population of the neighbourhood, which numbers about 300. Mr. Lloyd George accepted the invitation. On Sunday he and Mrs. Lloyd George, accompanied by their Newcastle host and hostess (Sir Walter and Lady Ituncixnan), motored to Spennymoor, and in the little Welsh Calvinistic Methoaist Ohape-l—a primitive stone building, aocosm- rnodating about 150—the Chancellor gave a snort address to his compatriots in the mother tongue. mother tongue. Admission was by language test. The pastor (the HoCv. J. E. Roberts) pre- sided, and, pending the arrival of the Chan- cellor, the congregation sang a number of Weish hymns. The entire gathering was of Welsh nationality. The long, straggling streets of the town were lined with excited villagers, and as the >Cna,ncellor of the Exchjqu'jr was slowly ariven along cheer after cheer was raised. Indeed, through most of the villages on the route Mr. Lloyd George was accorded the most enthusiastic greeting. Mr. Lioyd George occupied the little pulpit along with the pastor, and joined enthusi- astically in the praise sen ice. III the course of his brief address he dwelt on the advan- tages of bi-iinguaiism, urging them- although resident in England—not to relin- guisfi their knowledge of their native tongue. He had been resident in London some sixteen years, yet Welsh was the language frequently spoken in his own home. His children in their early jrears had been taught both tongues, and his little daughter (sis years of age) was bi-lingual. She could talk both Welsh and English, and was equally fluent in either. It was a great mistake to imagine that, because they had two langnages, they could 'not be masters of both. lie wanted them to stick to Welsh-not that he did not want them to understand English. On the contrary, they could not get on without it. rbqt he wanted them not to forget their native language. To acquire a knowledge of two languages was a great mental discipline. When they understood both languages they had the advantage of being aide to look at things from two points of view The Welsh and the English-and they y.'tre by no mean?; always the game. That broadened their view of life. There- fore. he urged on all Welsh parents to teach their children the Welsh language, the old language of the hills. It was a musical tongue. He could assure them it was eung there 2,000 years ago, when God' was wor- shipped in a. Pa,gafll creed. It was sung there two or three hundred years afterwards, when the Rritons were Christianised, a.nd there to-day a remnant of the ancient Briton3 who had not been exterminated were still singing Ü. So they had been there 2,000 years asa singing the language of Wales. The Welshmen could worship more fervently in his own tongue, while anyone who wanted to get at the heart of a Welshman would be most likely to succeed through the medium oi the language, of Wales. Ho urged his fellow-countrymen to remember that the honour of Wales was in their keeping. It was necessary for them to remember that their country would be judged by the life and conduct of the Welshmen who had left it to sojourn in England. Mrs. Lloyd George was asked to say a few words. Teach your children the language of Wales while they are still yonug in years," she said; "then they will never for- get it." At the conclusion of the service Mr. Lloyd George shook hands and conversed with many members of the <x>ngreg11.tion. He afterwards said that he and Mrs. Lloyd George were delighted with their visit. Amongst the congregation:, he said, appeared to be Welshmen from every part of Wales, from the hills and valleys, from the North and the South. The singing, too, was characteristically Welsh. The feeling of patriotism was strong amongst these Welsh miners, amongst whom were many fine old fellows. A renewed outburst of cheers greeted the re-appearance of the Chancellor from the chapel, but, while gracefully acknowledging the tribute, he did not comply with the shouted request for a speech. il

SHORTHORN SALE. THE TREDEGAR AND DUFFRYN HERDS. At The Dnffryru near Newport, on Thurs- day week there was a differ sal of about 70 head of pure-bred Shorthorn cattle, compris- ing selections from the pedigree 'herds of Lord Tredegar and Mr. Richard Stratton. There was a larg'e attendance. Lord Tredegar pre- sided at the luncheon, which was held in a large marquee before the sale.—Mr. J. T. Hobbs, of Maiscyhampton, proposed the toast of the two hosts and vendore—Ixnxl Tredegar and Mr. Stratton—which was received with musical honours. Lord Tredega/r, who was very cordially received, said a friend of his who composed poetry which woo often quoted against him once wrote the couplet: — Let la.ws and learning, art and commerce die, But leave us still our old nobilitie. His hearers could put anything they liked in the first line—-buffaloes or eleplia-nts or anything else—but let them still keep their old nobilitie of Shorthorrus. (Hear, hear.) His lordship told a etory of what happened at the last sale of Shorthorns a.t The Duffryn about seven years ago or so. He had his commissioner on one side of the ring bid- ding, and he (Lord Tredegar), who was on the other side, had given him instructions that when h0 waved his hand the commis- sioner was t.o bid and buy. But it was a hot day, and a blue-bottle having settled on his nose. he knocked it away with his cata- logue, a.nd the conseqnence was that he bought Mr. Stratton's worst animal at a very high price. (Laughter.) He hoped the visitors at the sale on the present occasion would keep on fan-eying that they had flies on their noses if they had commissioners present. (Laughter.) The sale was conducted by Mr. Frank Matthews, a successor to the late Mr. John Thornton. the well-known Shorthorn auc- t1on-c-e.r. of Hanover-square, London. It was explained that Trcdegar Park had been the home of good Shorthorns for upwards of a century. The late Sir Charles Morgan pre- sented a Shorthorn bull to George IV., a picture of which now hangs on the walls of Tredegar House. A few years ago Lord Tre- degar resolved to bring them to the front rank, with the result that since then the herd had been highly successful at many of the leading shows. The Duffryn herd was started in 1838 by Mr. Richard Stratton's father, and had been patrician ever since. Unfortunately, the weather and other con- ditions militated against anything like fancy prices being realised. It was, so to speak, a. day out for buyers, and against the breeders The heifers, which were sub- mitted first, made a, total of 1,592 guineas. averaging £32 3s. each. and the bulls (of which there were eleven) 338J guineas, or an average of JE32 6s. 3d. Heifers which had been out on grass made an average of about 22 guineas. Mr. Charles D. Phillips gave 30 guineas for a four-year- aid, which he bred himself, a.nd which was in this sale included in Lord Tredegar's herd. Mr. Lort Phillips, of Lawrenny. Pern- brokeshire, gave 40 guineas for" Vain Hope," a five-year-old bred by Mr. Stratton. and included in his herd. Mr. George Willianis, of Llanrumney, gave 4Q guineas for "Tre- degar Waterloo," a two-year-old in the Tre- degar herd. Lord Tredegar bought a, couple of Mr. Stratton's at 30 gnineas and 30 guineas, and Mr-. G Wynne Holford also gave 35 guineas for a two-year-old. Some of the show heifers fetched, of course, bigsrer prices. Colonel Fenwick, of Oundle, Northamptonshire, gave 120 guineas for Tredegar Lady Dective," a three-year- oM red, which had a considerable list of prizes to her credit a.t the Carmarthenshire. United Counties, Welsh National, Lord Trc- degar's, and several county shows. He also bought "Maid of Tredegar," another prize- winner, at 80 guineas, and "Ivirklevin-gton Lass II." at 65 guineas. Mr. Sidney Dennis, of Cricklade, paid 56 guineas for "Tredegar Augusta," and Mr. Tysor 45 guineas for "Tredegar Butterfly." Mr. J. H. Madden, of Bacup, got" Gleam," one of Mr. Stratton's roan yearlings, at 56 guineas. None of the bulls made quite such good -prices as the hcifors. Lord 111 angattoek bought "Shooting Star," one of Mr. Strat- ton's early 1908 buUs, at 61 g-oiaeas. Another of the same age, Reflection," was sold at 65 guineas to Mr. J. B. Oswald, to go into Shropshire, a.nd Colonel Gwynne Hughes bought at 50 guineas one of Lord Tredegar's two-year-olds ('Waterloo Diamond"), to go to his Nantgaredig (Camiarthens-hire) herd. The Duke of Devonshire had a yearling at 30 guineas. Some of the chief buyers besides those named were Messrs. James Brothers, of Gowerton; Mr. Hinton Stratton, Mr. Rees Thomas, Mr. Anstee, of Dyrham (Gloucester- shire), Mr. R. Heath, of Market Drayton, and Mr. George Taylor.

The evi- dence was tha.t deceased was driving to Borth, when the horse backed the oart up a hedge, and it oven*»rmed and fell heavily on tho deceased. When picked up. he w&e quite dead.—The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental deMb."

The defendant conterded that the payment was in fuil settlement. Mr. Martin Evans (to the bench): There was an agreement. It is quite legally drawn. The Stipendiary (looking at the document): Who drew it? Mr. Martin Eva.ns: The village school- master. (Laughter.) The Stipendiary: This is rough on the lawyers. It looks like work for. the Incor- porated Law Society. The complainant, a stylishly-dressed young mulatto, stated that the child was born in July of last year. Most of the JEM paid had been spent by her father and the defen- dant's father, who had joined together and gone "on the drink."—An order was made for the payment of 3s. 6d. a week and all costs, the defendant to be given credit for £ 18 from the date of the lie; ring.

MR. IVOR GUEST TO RETIRE. HON. MEMBER'S DEFINITE DETER- MINATION. • Militant suffragettes throughout the country will be sorry to learn tha.t they will not have the pleasure of heckling the Hon. Ivor Guest, the member for Cardiff, at the next election, as they had faithfully promised to do, in dew of his official oonnootion with the anti-women's suffrage movement. It was stated at the monthly meeting of the Cardiff Liberal Association executive on Tuesday, when Alderman F. J. Beavan pre- sided, that a letter had been received from the hon. member definitely announcing his docasion, "for private reasons," not to seek re..ele<;tion. This annonnoement was made to a large attendance of the executive com- mittee, amongst whom were representatives from Cow bridge. It was further stated that Mir. Guest had been seen, on behalf of the general purposes committee, by Sir Clifford Cory, and pressed to re-consider his decision, but without avail. The letters from Mr. Guest were read to the meeting by Mr. Aiigood, but they contained little matter of interest, and none of iinport- anoe beyond the deiinite decision of the hon. member not to seek re-election. The first letter dated back to September 28, and in it he reiterated a former statement of his intention not to seek re-election, and pro- mised co-operation in finding a successor. The local caucus were apprehensive, how- ever, of an early dissolution, and assured him that they were still loyal to an under- standing that, in that event, he would be their candidate. Mr. Guest seems to have heard from some source or other that his loyal supporters were looking out for somebody else, and this, probably, prompted the further intimation of his wish to retire. The opening passages of the next letter, dated October 6, seem to concoal a misunderscanding which Sir Clifford Cory had smoothed over in a long conversation with Mr. Guest." The letter was addressed to Sir Clifford, and in it Mr. Guest declared that he should not have regarded any pre- liminary or conditional negotiations for a successor as disloyal to him. and he thougnt some such negotiations might be in contem- plation. "especially in view of certain rumours a-a to the future representation of the city which would have commanded his support." He assured Sir Clifford, however, that he was complimented by the knowledge that such had not been the case. Mr. Guest then went on to say that circum- stances wholly unconnected with politics made him anxious to retire, and the fact that an election could not in any case take place before next January, disposed of the possibility of the party being caught napping. The hon. meiaber, therefore, declined to be the candidate in the forthcoming struggle. In view of this definite statement tie Radical executive felt that it had no other course but to reluctantly accept the decision, and it was resolved that an address of thanks be presented to Mr. Guest for his services to the borough. Mr. Beavan read the draft address to the meeting, and its terms were of the most flattering description. Several suggestions were made with regard to tho seleotion of another candidate at the general election, which was looked upon as imminent, but it was determined to relegate tho full consideration of the position to the general purposes committee, and, in view of this resolution, the Chairman cut short the discussion. The report of the committee will probably be presented at an early date. Mr. Allgood, the secretary, made a report upon the registration work. showing, without giving any figures, that the results at the recent revision courts had been as favourable to the party as in any previous year. The membership report showed improve- ment daring the month, and that the roll of members was equal to that at the same period last year.

ENCOUNTER ON LANDING. SWANSEA LADY AND SUPPOSED BURGLAR, Owen Getthin Saunders, a painter, was charged at Swansea on Monday with break- ing into a house in Langland-street with intent to commit a felony. Mrs. Louisa Stagg, who lived in the house, said she was awakened at three a.m. by a noise on the stairs. She called out, "Who's there?" and a man's toice replied, "Hush! be quiet! I'm a detective—I'm chasing a burglar." She got up and saw a man on the landing with a lighted candle in his hand. Sihe ordered him out, and he went, using very bad language. Defendant, who said he could bring a hundred witnesses to prove that he was an. j honest msm. was committed to the assizes, j
