BORTH. Inquest.A sad fatality occurred on Friday afternoon when an elderly woman named Mary James, who lived at. Min- ffordd, widow of Mr. James James, butcher and farmer, was knocked down by a runaway horse and died shortly after. An inquest was held on Saturday before Mr. John Evans, district coroner, and the following jury:—Mr.. Samuel Prosser. foreman; the Rev. D. Caron Jones, Messrs Evan Evans, William Owen, John Evans, David Jones, Richard Evans. Owen Owens, John Edwards, James Williams. Thomas Hughes, and John Owens. Evidence ot identification was given by Mr. Thomas Owen Morgans, son-in-law, who said de- ceased was seventy-eight years of age ana as a rule was in good health. She died about 3-40 .p.m. when she was conveyed to his house after the accident. She was deat and could not have heard the driver of the cart shouting. Evan Richards, of Eglwys- fach, servant at Alltgoch. said he was go- ing to the smithy at Dolybont on Friday afternoon with a pony and cart. When on the road between Brynmelyn and the lane leading to Henllys the pony began to run. He was in the cart then and saw the woman on the proper side, the left side ot the road, in front of him. He shouted to her several times, but she took no notice. He tried tc keep in the cart, but was thrown out and was dragged along past the woman with his feet entangled in the reins. As soon as he got free, he ran back and found the woman lying insensible on the roadside. He ran on to stop the pony before reaching the village and to give in- formation. He met Mr. Watkins and told him of the accident. He was nearly seven- teen years of age and not much used to horses. The pony was thirteen years of age and generally quiet. He sat on one side of the cart and the other side was shaking, making a rattling noise, which might have frightened the pony. -He had no whip or stick. The pony walked quietly down the hill, but suddenly ran away. Mr. Enoch Watkins, Henllys. said he "was re- turning home from Boffi accompanied by his wife when the previous witness in- formed him' that an ;"»cicler>t had occurred on top of the hill. He called Mr. James Williams and they found tne woman alive. He asked her how she was. but -Tie said no- thing. P.C. Richard Griffiths, ilortb, gave evidence that he found a small scratch on the right knee and a cut at the back ot her head, near the base of the skull. There was no trace of blood. The iury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."

GRICULTURAL SOCIETY LIVE STOCK SCHEME. The annual general meeting of Llanilar and North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society was held on Monday afternoon at the Lion Hotel. Aberystwyth. The pre- sident, Mr. R. J. R. Loxdale, Castle Hill, was in the chair. Th-, balance- sheet showed that the re- ceipts amounted to £ 418 4s. lid., including subscriptions £105 (an increase ot £ 5 19s. 6d.), entry fees £ 45 17s. 6d. (an in- crease of £ 1 10s. 6d.). gate money £ 72 2s. (:u increase of 912 6s.) The expenditure amounted to k221 7s. 6d. compared with JB225 in the previous year. While there was a 7css of £ 5 5s. lid. in 1912, there was a gain' of L17 15s. 6d. on last year's show. The expenditure, includ ng £ 170 10s. 6d. prizes. The sum of £ 150 of the balance had been deposited in the names of the managers and there was also a balance 01 E46 in hand. Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P., proposed the adoption of the balance sheet and con- gratulated the Society on their satisfac- tory financial position. The show was in- creasing in popularity tnorughout the whole district, as was "shown by the in- creased number of entries and exhibits. Of course, a great deal of that success de- pended on the energetic work of the man- agers and the Secretary. They were largely responsible for bringing the Society into its present satisfactory iposition. ii all the shows in the county were in the same financial position he would be even more delighted. He hoped all the shows would become equany successful. (Cheers.) Mr Laac Jones. Cefnllwynpiod, seconded the adoption of the balance sheet which was agreed to. Mr. Vaughan Davies proposed the re- election of Mr. Loxdale as president and said it was duo in a large measure to Mr. Loxdale's support that the show had been so successful. He provided the field and also a princely entertainment. The Society were grateful to Mr. Loxdale for his sup- port and hoped he would live for many yeirs to continue his support. (Cheers.) Mr. Percy Whkinson, Cross wood, seconded the proposition which was agreed to and Mr. Loxdale, in accepting the office, said he appreciated the honour. He would continue to take the warmest interest in the shew and do his best to make it a success. He would be pleased to allow the use of the ground and the same privileges as in former years. (Cheers.) Mr. E. A. L. Powell, Nanteos, was re- apoointed on'e of the show managers, with Mr. Wilkinson in the place of Mr. B. Hughes Davies, Ystrad-teilo, who wished to relinquish the position. Mr. J. G. Mcrris Davies, Hafod, and Mr. Richard Rowlands were re-elected auditors with Mr Arthur Jones, L.C. and M. Bank, as treasurer. Mr. Wilkinson, in proposing the re-elec- tion of Mr. Morgan T. Jones as secretary, said the Society were fortunate in having excellent officials; but if they had one official better than another it was the Secretary. They could not have a better secretary than Mr. Jones. Mr. E. A. L. Powell seconded the pro- position which was agreed to. August 19th was fixed as the date of tho next show. The question of offering prizes in two classes for riding, one for boys and the other for girls, was referred to the Com- mittee for consideration when revising the schedule.. The Committee recommended that the section for cattle of any other breed except shorthorn should be divided into two sec- tions, namely, for black cattle and Here-, fords, with four classes in each section. This recommendation was adopted on the proposition of Mr. Morris "Davies, seconded by Mr. Wi'kinson, provided that there by Mr. Wi'kinson, provided that there would not he more than eight classes so as not to increase the prize money. The Committee also recommended* that in the collier class thA size should be changed from under 14.3 to under 15* hands and that the winners of first prizes in the open turn-out: should not be allowed to compete in the local class. These recom- mendations were not adopted. It was agreed on the Committee's recom- mendation that hurdles should only be hired on payment of threepence each. Mr. D: D. Williams, live stock officer for the South Wales area, attended the meet- ing and gave an address on the live stocK scheme, lie explained that under the scheme Wales would receive premiums for twenty-one shire horses, 180 bulls, ana forty-seven boars, of which each county would have. a proportion. Cardiganshire, it was hoped, would have a couple of shire horses, fourteen bulls, and four boars. The amount to be granted for shire horses was £ 80, namely, E46 direct and P,40 in the form of assisted nominations to assist farmers whose land was worth less than -0100 per annum to enable them to have the use of the horse at half the service fee charged to others. In forming a shire horse society it was necessary to have at least ten members. Model rules could be obtained from him for the formation ot societies. The bull premiums would be £ lo each. A bull might belong to an individual without forming a'society where it was found that a society could not be formed where the bull would be made good use of. If a society was formed the members could make terms with an individual owner in the district. The society would receive a grant of £ 15, but must not pay more than £12 to the owner and the owner must agree to allow the bull to serve at a fix fee. Twenty-five cows must be guaranteed before a society could be formed. It was also possible for the members of a society to subscribe for the purchase of a bull which would be their property and for which they would be absolutely respon- sible. That was the best policy. Every encouragement was given to societies to buy their own animals and when they had the annual grants they would have nothing to fear. Hie was glad to see that in- some parts of Wales farmers had expressed their strong desire to buy bulls rather th&ri make terms with an individual owner. That would be to their advantage because they would not be subject to mteference. There would be premiums of PA each for boars in the first year, and then it would be reduced to L2 a year. There seemed to be mis- apprehension as to the selection of the animals. The horse, bull, or boar was to be selected by representatives of the local society and by nobody else, but subject to the approval of the County Live Stock Committee, the administrative body. All applications would have to be sent to him and he wculd submit them to the Com- mittee, who would decide whether the premiums would be granted or not and how they would be allocated. The County Committee consisted of good judges of horses, cattle, and pigs and they would be able to say whether the animals selected were fit for the purposes of the scheme. He did not anticipate trouble on that account, because each society would be anxious to select the animal that would do the greatest service and credit to the dis trict. The Committee wou!d only refuse the premium if the animal selected was not good enough. He wished to emphasise the fact that the money was not to be doled out anyhbw. Unless there were de- sirable applications no premiums would be granted. The '1'11:: would only be made in; deserving cases no that the best possib e use would be made of the muney. Smce he took up the office month ago he had re- ceived several applicat ons from Cardigan- shire and other counties which showed that the schema was go ng to work well. It was useless for anyone to apply to him for a grant un ess he. was sati fied that a society was formed on sound basis with the requisite number of members who would guarantee so many mares or cows. The premiums would not be given away except in the case of genuine applications which showed appreciation of the scheme and a desire to use the money to advantage. Mr. W Ikinson asked whether applica- tions must be made on printed forms r Mr. Williams replied that he had already explained 'to (Mr. Wilkinson and others I who had communicated with him that all applications should be accompanied with a list of members and the number of mares or cows guaranteed. Those applications would be accepted pending the issue of printed forms which would be available be- fore the end of the week. The County Committee would meet at Lampeter on Thursday. Professor Bryner Jones, commissioner for 1 Wales, also addressed the meeting and said if it was deemed advisable the Agri- cultural Society might form a live stock improvement society for the district. The work already done by agricultural shows in improving live stock could be enhanced by offering prizes for horses and bulls eligible for premiums. Mr. Wilkinson said the local society in which he was interested might decide to purchase a bull. He wanted to know if the bull would have to be approved by the County Committee before Tt was bought. Professor Bryner Jones replied that all the animals must be formally approved by the County Committee before a premium could be granted. The Committee might appoint one or more of the members to inspect the bull or authorise the Live Stock Officer to do so. Probably the Committee would co-opt members from each locality so that the inspection could be done con- veniently. Special officers of the Board "would be in attendance at the Shire Horse Show and the Birmingham bull sale. It was desirable that local societies should not purchase a bull before it was approved, or otherwise run the risk of not having a grant. On the proposition of Mr. Wilkinson,' ,seconded by Mr. Lyke, a resolution was passed expressing gratification that a society had been formed at Talybont for, North Cardiganshire to hire an entire horse and expressing the hope that farmers in Llanilar district would be allowed to participate in the movemertt. Mr. E;. A. L. Powell proposed and Mr. I Hughes, Falcon Hotel, seconded a resolu- tion approving the general scheme for im- provement of live stock. Mr. Wilkinson supported the proposi- I tion. He said he had attended meetings of farmers and small holders. Though there were many who said they knew a better trick, he found that on the whole there was great keenness about the scheme and the only regret was that there were not enough premiums to satisfy the wants of Cardiganshire. They could only appeal to their worthy Member to fight their battle with the ,Board. They certainly wanted more premiums under all heads and if farmers showed they were enthusiastic in supporting the scheme, Mr. Vaughan Davies would no doubt use every en- ■ deavour to help them. (Cheers.) The proposition was agreed to and the meeting ended with the usual votes of, thanks.

DIN AS MAWDDWY. Farewell.—On Thursday evening of last week, under the presidency of Mr. Howell Evans, Ffridd; a farewell meeting was held at the Council School on the departure j of Mr. H. Lloyd, schoolmaster, to take up a similar pest at Foel, Llangadfan. Mr. i Lloyd was greatly respected by all and, though the weather was forbidding, the! meeting was well attended.. A purse of gold, suitably inscribed, was presented to ¡ Mr. Lloyd by the Rev. E. D. Lloyd, the Rectory, Mallwyd, on behalf of the people the district as a token of good wishes i and appreciation of his efforts. Mr. Lloyd, i who was received with loud cheers, thanked all for their kindness towards him during his twenty-four years' connection with the school. Short appropriate addresses were delivered by Messrs E. D. Jones, M. Pughe Jones, C.C., Griffith LewiRr David Evans, Tynypvvll, G. Griffiths, ] and T. Tegwyn Davies. Under the super- vision of Mr. Lloyd, the school has made continued progress. It was one of t*ie first schools in Merioneth to be exempted from! the annual examination and the success his pupils in the entrance scholarship competitions and lately in the cotmty ex- aminations, as well as in other spheres, has been phenomenal. His personal interest in ) his pupils during and after their school car- eer has never flagged, and the best of feel- ings existed between them. A1 assured him ¡ that his efforts had not passed unobserved, and with one accord regretted his de- parture. He will ever Be kindly remem- bered and leaves with the best wishes of all for his future success and happinses. Ail intervals, songs were contributed by Miss Ella Steadman, Miss Kate Rowlands, Mr. J. Pughe Jones, and the School children, under the leader- ship- of Mr. H. E. Evans, the present assistant master. Mr. Evans's penillion singing was much appreciated, as was also the humorous recitation by Mr. D. P. Evans. The accompanist was Miss L. A. Davies. Thanks having been given to all concerned, the meeting ended by an excel- lent rendering of "Hen Wlad fv Nhadau* and i" God Save the King" by Miss Ella Steadman, the audience joining in the chorus.

THE QUESTION OF HBALTH. There Is an okl saying A stitch in time saves nine," and if upon the fit symptoms of anything being wrong wth oAor health we were to resort to some simple but proper means Of correcting the mischief, nine-tenths of'the suffering that invades our homes wou)d he avoided. The body Ft a machine full of intri- cate and delicate mechanism sad when one part. is impeded it gradually throws the whole out of gear unless it is quickly put right. A cold, a chill, a touch ef indigestion or livet complaint, a pain in the loins or the little indiscretions to which to the hurry and tur- moil of life weare all prone (such as eating too quickly, not taking sufficient rest, worrying too much over our troubles, etc., etc.), an tend to bring about a deadlock in some part of the human mechanism or a weakening Or slowing down of the whole. A good bracing.tonlc, one that will re-vitoiise and will wind up all the machinery, will at such times wOrk greater wonders than a long course of nauseous medicines.

FOOTBALL. WELSH AMATEUR CUP. (3rd Raurfd.) BALA v. ABERYSTWYTH. Aberystwyth made the long, journey to Bala on Saturday, to play the, home team in the third round of the Welsh Amateur Cup. A good game resulted and, by being defeated by four goals to nil, Aberystwyth made an untimely exit from the competi- tion this season again. Aberystwyth, who have not teen fortunate with regard to playing at home in the draws, have there- fore no further interest in either the Welsh Senior or Amateur cups, having been de- feated in the first-named cup by Newtown at Newtown earlier in the season. Bala were fortunate in possessing a strong team and, at half-time, they led-by one goal to nil. Playing with the wind and rain at their backs during the second half, the homesters put on three more,- goals, despite the good play of Watkins in the Aberystwyth goal. Aberystwyth had to make two changes from the selected side, W. R. Thomas and J. Chamberlain coming into the team in the absence of B. T. Lloyd and T. Picker- ing, the latter being unable to travel owing to indisposition. The Aberystwyth team were—Goal, El. Watkins; backs. J. Chamberlain and R. E. Evans; halves, T. W. Rees, W. R. Thomas» J. M. Jones; forwards, A. Rowe, J. Jones. R. Davies, Idris Thomas, D. H. Griffiths.

sheep were affected.-The Chairman said the Bench, taking into consideration that defendant had reported to the police, would j take a lenient view. He ought to have done so sooner. It was time farmers understood that disease. It was costing the county a lot of money and if farmers did not help the police it would never be j stamped out. Defendant would be fined J31 and costs. Any similar cases would be severely dealt with.—A similar charge was brought against William Williams or Blaenwern, Llangybi. Defendant appeared and said he did not know that the sheep were affeeted.-P.C. T. J. Morgan said he visited defendant's farm on the 20th January and saw eighty-eight sheep. He found symptoms of scab on eighteen or them. He L asked defendant why he did not report it and he replied that he did not know there was anything the matter witli them. The sheen came from Gwynfe, Car- marthenshire.—W. Morgan Williams, M.R.C.V.S., said it was a mild case, The disease was only in its preliminary. sta.ge.- The Chairman said the Bench thought de- fendant did not know the sheep were affected. It was much milder than the other. They would dismiss it on payment of 5s. costs of witness.
