Carmarthen Burongh Police Court. MONDAY.—Before the Mayor (Mr Walter Spurrell), Mr James Da vies, Mr Fred Jones, Mr David Williams, and Mr Henry Howell. THE EX-POSTMAN AND HIS LIABILITY. Mr Rowland Browne, Clerk to the Carmar- j then Guardians appeared against Richard Swaine, now Jiving in Worcester or neigh- bourhood, and formerly a postman at Carmar then, who was charged with not contributing to the maintenance of his family. It appear ed that the Bench had in October, 1900, made an order against Swaine for the pay- ment of 4s a week towards his wife, and 4s a week towards his children's maintenance. Orders had been made for the enfocement of that payment and now after allowing for all receipts the defendant was indebted to the Guardians in the sum of £39 12s. Since the order was made, the eldest daughter had reached the age of 13 years, so that the amount of relief paid by the Guardians had been reduced. Defendant was in receipt of a pension of zC21 12 from the Post Office the Postmaster General was willing to give his address, but could not see his way to attach the pension. It appeared from infor- motion gleaned by the Clerk to the local Guardians from Swaine's landlady that that gentleman was not in constant employment; he earned a little by canvassing for an In- surance Co. He was apparently anxious to get regular employment, and was talking of setting out for London if he could not get work where he was. He said that if the order was reduced to 5s or 6s a week, he would have more prospect of being able to pay it. Mr J. D. Evans proved the facts as set forth by Mr Browne. Mr Browne said that Swamc was a very intelligent man and could get employment if he wished. The Clerk (Mr R M. Thomas) said that the magistrates at the present stage could only make an order for distress. If the tress realised nothing, then Mr Brc ,v::L could make an application for commitment. AN EVICTION—AN OWNERS COM- PLAINT. Mrs Miah Jones aplied for an order of eject ment against Thomas Thomas, of Jones' Place the Quay. Mrs Jones said that the defen- dant paid Is 4d a week for the premises. The rent was paid right enough but she objected to the tenant. There is such wear and tear," said Mrs Jones, that there won't be a room left. She has a daughter not fit to be in the neighbourhood. It is a regular brothel." The magistrates ordered defendant (whose wife appeared) to clear out within 21 days. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. Attendance orders were made against Mrs Ellen Saunders, Duke's Yard, Priory-street; Mrs Hannah Hancocke, Bridge-street, widow and Mr James Evans, porter, Priory-street, on account of the non-attendance of their children at school Miss Anne Reed, of Parade-road, was charged with not sending her son to school. Defendant said that the boy was staying out at nights, and that she had no control over him. She would rather have him sent to a school, and she would pay for him. The Mayor said they would make an atten dance order, and the matter of sending the boy away could be considered again. Thomas Simpson, Waundew, painter, was fined 5s in each case for not sending his two children to school. Thomas Thomas, Jones' Place, the Quay, was fined 2s 6d for one child and was ordered to bring the other to the court that day week. Defendant's wife said that her husband only worked two days a week he earned Is 6d or 2s a day at a public house in Priory street. The case of Francis Davies, Water street, weaver, was adjourned for a fortnight.

ilandilo Petty Sessiops. SATURDAY.—Before Messrs J. L. Thomas and A. DuBuisson. ALLEGED SUNDAY DRINKING. I George Hughes, of the Farmers' Arms Glyn march, was charged with the sale of intoxi- cating drink of a Sunday. Mr J. W. Nicholas defended. Defendant denied the offence. P.S. Roberts deposed that on Sunday, 7th of October, he was on Ammanford road, and within 300 yards of the Farmers' Arms, Glyn march, when he saw a little boy before walk- ing towards the inn. He turned his face back and when he saw complainant made off rapidly when complainant got within sight of the inn, he saw the landlady run out of the house into the road. She looked excited ly up the road, and when she saw the com- plainant she went back rapidly and out of his sight. She then peeped around the cor- ner of the house. Complainant went to the inn and found in the bar kitchen, five men. They had a pint of beer each in front of Miem The back door was open and as complainant was standing in the passage he saw a man in the bottom of the garden, climbing over the railway fence. Having told his fellow P.C. to remain in the house, he (compl un.rnt) went after the man and saw him staggering on the line, to where three more men were standing all looking excited and -'nioxieated. Mr Nicholas Is not that a bit of dim- ming that should not be put in. Complainant saw lower down the rai'way other men standing they were 30 vardi < ic. Complainant went back to the inn ana askr d the landlord the reason those men had for leaving the premises by the back door. He said I don't know." Mr J. L. Thomas Did you see them 1CM o by the back door. Complainant admitted that he did not. He went on to say that he knew there was no footpath and the landlord gave no answer. The men in the kitchen were D. Williams, of Gwaencaegurwen David Lewis, Gvvauncao- gurwen William Price, Lower Bryn i-ii-irtiiii Job Evans, Upper Brynamman and William Roes. Uper Brynamman. As he was J:¡1king down the names David Williams said that we are caught let us have one pint more David Lewis said Yes." They took hold of their pints and drank the con- tents, and asked the landlord to replenish them. They did not get them. Complain- ant asked where they were going to. David Williams said Perhaps as far as Amman- ford." Lewis said Yes. and perhaps a little futiier," and Will Price said 4 Ye, we are all the same." Complainant then went up the road a hundred yards and saw Howell Howells, Brynamman. come from the direc- tion of Ammanford. Complainant did not see him coming from the inn, and come out with an umbrella in his hand. Complainant visited the inn the second time, and examined the defendant's book, and there found entered therein the name of Howells, near the end. Complainant asked the landlord when Howell called at his residence. He replied It might be about 11 o'clock this morning." He said he was going to Ammanford and asked for dinner to be prepared for him. Complainant visited the house on the following morning. and told the defendant that he had two witnesses who had seen Howells at 1.30 p.m. on the Sunday between Glanaxnman and his house, and would summon them to give evi- dence against them should he adhere to his first statement. Defendant then said 1,1 don't remember exactly the time he came here. It might have been about 2 o'clock." I Defendant then asked complainant if he could let the matter drop. Mr Nicholas What did you go to him on the Monday for ? Did you caution him ? Complainant said no he did not, but went to tell him what he had heard. Defendant told him he would take good care it did not occur again Complainant informed defen- dant of the way in which he had cautioned. Mr Nicholas objected. It was not fair-or usual to go into a conversation to be brought in for the purpose of assisting or making good a charge He left it to the Bench, but it did not help the case one bit. Mr J. L. Thomas Very well. Cross-examined by Mr Nicholas All the men in and out of the house lived beyond three miles. It was four o'clock when com- plainant called at the inn. Complainant had been three years in Garnant. He did not know of a footpath behind the house. There was no right of way. He had not seen people going down the path. He had seen people on the line. Howells' name would be found more than once in the book. By the Bench Complainant did not ask the landlord what the men had said they were doing there P.C. Tudor corroborated P.S. Roberts' evi- dence as to what occurred at the inn. By Mr Nicholas The landlord's wife was walking back and fore in the passage Mr Nicholas You have a good memory. P.C. Tudor Perhaps I have. Re-examined by P.S. Roberts Job Evans never said a word. Mr Nicholas Witness has said he Ji I P.S. Roberts That is the reason why I want to show he has made a mistake about the men. The were strangers to him. This was greeted with loud laughter, and the Bench threatened to clear the court. The men were then lined up and the apparent discrepancy explained. Mr J. W. Nicholas for the defence said Hughes had been landlord of the inn for 6 or seven years. It was the old question after all. as to whether they were bona-fide travellers. He had a clear answer to the charge. It re- quired more than the wisdom of the serpent to kep a public house properly in that dis- trict. He contended that the landlord had done his part properly, in the midst of temp- tations. He asked the bench upon law and common sense to dismiss the case. He called George Hughes, who deposed that the visi- tors themselves if they could had to enter their own names on the books. He asked them the usual questions and received satis- factory replies, from the men whom the con- stables found in the house The men were strangers to him. The sergeant asked each man where they were going to and had a reply from each. Job Evans, Upper Brynamman, swore that he went out to the inn and asked for a put of beer. He said where he came from end where he wa.s going. By P.S. Roberts Witness denied the evi- dence of the complainant as to the questions asked. The other four were all in their turns called, and gave denials to the evidence of the police. The second one called said the landlord refused to give them more drink in the presence of the police, but. did not give a reason for refusing. He wanted to find Archibald Jones, of Ammanford, and failed. The Police in answer to the Bench said every one at Ammanford knew Jones. The third man said they, two of them, had two pints each whereas another said one. Even- tually, the case was dismissed after lasting a few hours. THE MEN ON THE PREMISES. D. Williams for being illegally on the pre- mises was fined os and 8s Gd costs, as the bench did not believe he was legally a bona- fide traveller. D. Lewis for a like offence had to pay the same amount; William Price was likewise charged, but the case was ad- journed for a fortnight as he alleged he had arranged to meet at Llandilo, 12 miles from Brynamman, a man from Gwynfe 13 miles from Llandilo, whereas across the moun tain defendant would only have to go eight miles to Glanmeilog, where the man lived. Job Evans was likewise charged. He had walked four and a half miles before he got any drink. The case was dismissed as also that against William Rees.

1 A Carmarthen Man Selected as Mayor of Accrington. Mr Sprake (son of the late Mr Sprake, of the Blue Boar, Carmarthen) has been selected as Mayor of Accrington Mr Sprake belongs to a well known Carmarthen family he served some time with the late Mr E. B. Jones, chemist, in the premises now occupied by Mr J. P. Richards he is a brother-in-law to Mr W. Jones, School of Art, and his nr-ther, Mrs Sprake lives in Lammas-street. Th el leaving report is taken from the "Gazette," (Actring ton) I At a meeting of the Accrington Town Council, in committee, on Monday afternoon the question of next year's mayor thy was considered. Alderman Moorby mo,r.d and Councillor Ramsbottom seconded a rosol-tion inviting Councillor Sprake to accept the office Both the mover and the seconder of the reso- lution referred to the fact that Mr Sprake had been a member of the council for many years, and had rendered great service to the town. He had been most regu-.ctr in his atendance at the Council and coimvttee meet ings, and always had the best interest of the town at heart. The resolution was unani- mously carried, an dthe Town Clerk was in- structed to sign the formal requisition on he- half of the whole Council to Mr Sprake. In reply Mr Sprake assured the Council that the request had come to him as a great sur- prise to him. However, he would seriously consider it, and consult his wife on his re- turn to Lytham that evening before coming to a definite decision. Up to last Friday evening Mr Sprake had not intimated his de- cision to the Town Clerk. The action of the Council in offering the position to Mr Sprake has been received with feelings of greatest satisfaction and pleasure among both Liberals and Conservatives in the Borough, and there is a generally expressed hope that he will find it possible to accept it.

A Journalist's View of Politics. INTFRESTING ADDRESS AT AllER- CYNON C 'NSERVATIVE CLUB. THE H>m>R OF THE "EVENING I X PRES >> SPEAKS HIS MIND. A; tue fortnightly social gutheritg1 of the Lil d.t" Cllllt-ti ut;onal Club, held at Aber- eynoll on Thursday se'night (November Ist), under the j«n sideney of Mr F J Harries, editcr of the Glamorgan Times," the address was givl n by Mr W J Needle, acting-editor of the Evening Expre ss," Cardiff (and formerly of Carmarthen),who said that politics, so far from being- a matter of indifference, touched No 1 every time. The cry all round was, What shall wo get?" The game was essentially selfish. Internal truth was not bound up with either party. The under- lyiag niot i ve -(,hastened, of course, by the conviction ol each party that its policy was T lie best for the country—was found in the fact that those who were out wanted to get in, whiie those were in wanted to stay in. Why ? Because it WJS only those who were in who had the power to do good to their friends, and give them appointments and salaries and pensions and contracts and titles Where, then, did the rank and file of the paries come in ? How did they get the value tor the votes which they gave enabling their party to get the run of all those good' tl)iflg,s ? They could not sell their votes for coin sterling, as was the custom in the good old days," before present-day squeamishness about election expenses set in. In those days and in America to-day, elections promoted prosperity. People benefited by them, because enormous sums of money were put in circu- lation. The Presidential election in America, they were told, would put a lot of people in funds, because millions of dollars were being spent in making people sea the benefits which would result from voting for M Kinley or Bryan. Here the law required a man to give a cold-blooded explanation of all his expenses [f he said he spent £ 10,000 in circulating his address to the electors, they would, in their unpractical way, say nasty tilings about him. In America there was none of such foolishness and if the printing of ballot-papers in Indiana cost three-million dollars nobody remarked that printing was dear at election times. Of course Englar.d might presently ask for the old paths of electoral arrangement, but at present they had to find some other way of selling their votes to the best advantage- getting more for them than an occasional fountain or a subscription to a chapel. Which party gave the most for votes ? They thought it was the Unionists, therefore they supported that party, not because the Unionists pos- sessed any inherent right to claim their votes, but because they gave the greatest value. He believed they were right in considering the Unionists the best paymasters in the matter of legislation for the common good. He be lieved the Unionists were more given to performances than to promises. The speaker then enumerated various legislative reforms! which had been ehement.lv demanded during the last 30 year-; and as vehemently promised by Radical speakers, all of which had been! left for accomplishment during the Unionist terms of office--1885 to 1892 and 18% to 1900. Proceeding, Mr Needle remarked that, while the fight in the past had been for politi- j cal emancipation, the struggle in the future would be f.)r industrial emancipation. There were, he said, a number of social and indus- trial problems which pressed for solution social and industrial inequalities which men were increasingly recognising could no longer n el be justified by the old and damnable plea-- once used to justify serfdom and slavery and to explain the occurrence of plague, cholera, rinderpest, Ac,—that these things belonged to the order of Providence. Discussing a possible programme, the speaker suggested the prohi- bition of the importation not only of desti- tute aliens (this had been promised by the Unionists), but of all aliens who could not show that their coming to this country would not interfere with the right of every Britisher to a fair day's work at a fair day's pay. Com- pulsory formation of Trades Unions for every kind of occupation in the country for the protection of working meix and working women. Compulsory membership of their protection of working men and working women. Compulsory membership of their respective trades unions on the part of every worker. Reduction of the hours of labour until every worker iu the country had a reasonable chance of honest employment. Compulsory opening out of vast tracts of cultivable land now ruuning to waste, and by their non-prodnntive- ness holding a menace to the Empire, seeing that in the event of European complications and a reverse to our arms at sea we should be starved into submission by our food supplies being cut off. Allotment of the youth of the I country in actuarial proportions to the various trades and occupations so that there should be no over-crowding. National scheme of immigration to ourColonies and dependencies so as to render impossible any recrudescence of that glut of labour which has brought the aforesaid problems into existence. Reforms oil these lines were needed, and must be wrung out of Governments as the price of the votes by which Governments were created. Statesmen only took measures which the nation forced upon them. Votes were the lever by which politicians were forced reforms were the price politicians had to pay for votes.

THRIFT PROPAGANDA IN WALES.—At a meet- ing of the Committee of the National Thrift Society held in London on Tuesday, the Secre tary stated that a Welsh Branch of the Society had been establisher under favourable auspices, and was now working from Cardiff. The movement had received tke co-operation of well-known colliery proprietors, and other employers of labour, as well as o fthe clergy of difterent denominations. Various meet- ings had taken place and a thrift campaign was being organised. The following resolu- tion was adopted — That in order to en- able the necently established Welsh Mranch of the NatoAal Thrift Society to develop its operations throughout Wales, employers of labour and others who are interested in the welfare of the industrial classes and the ex- tension of social reforms, should be i nvited to accord the movement their support."

-v. T R E LEO H. DAVIES' CIIAIiITy.-A meeting of the trustees and managers of this charity was held at the Charity School. Trelech, to consider the draft of a new scheme proposed by the Charity Commission. It was unnni- j mously decided to accept the scheme, subject to a few amendments, the chief of which is chat of one half of clear income proposed towards exhibitions in higher education, two-thirds only be applied to that purpose, and the remaining third to apprenticing and clothing, all these benefits to be for poor children of the parish.

Rabies Not Yet Stamped Out." Tn the Editor Carmarthen Weekly Reporter. Sir,-The letter which you have publisher from the Chairman of the National Canine Defence League, places the nation face to face with a plain question ,to which it has to consider the sanwer. If the supposed out- break of so-called rabies in South Wales is genuine, then Mr Long has not stamped out" that rare disease, his barbarous muzzle is proved ineffectual, his system of muzzle and slaughter, in fact the whole of his dog legislation—i.e., dog persecution-is proved useless, and therefore unjustifiable, and the success which he claims as the excuse for and result of his arbitrary, cruel and unpopular regulations is not success but complete and utter failure he has failed all along tke line. If, on the other hand, the reported rabies is not genuine, then it is manifest that. the official test on which rabies is certified is proved worthless, the Mad Dog theory is proved groundless, and the ponderous edifice built upon the foundation of that worthless, false test and the consequently worthless sta- tistics of so-called rabies falls to the ground. From this position there is no possible escape It wouxu be interesting and instructive to know why, the "outbreak of rabies" having occurred in June, no intimation of it was made until the middle of October also why a Muzzling Order being deemed necessary, it was not imposed at the time of the out- 6reak," but was delayed until three and a half months had elapsed ? Captain Mcllwane, the Board's non-pro- fessional inspector, devoid of veterinary knowledge, who investigated this, reported rabies, stated that the dogs said to be rabid were in every instance stray dogs. It is, of course, palpably impossible to muzzle a mad or stray dog yet the Board, according to its invariable custom of fixing the saddle on the wrong horse and punishing the innocent, orders the healthy, non rabid, owned and li- censed dogs to be muzzled This is follow- ing the best traditions of that red tape bound up body of officials, whose dealings with dogs have always been characterised by flagrant injustice, gross incompetence and absolute ignorance of canine matters. It will be strange indeed if the people of Great Britain permit any further continuance of the shame- ful cruelty to dogs and tyranny towards dog owners, loyal, law-abiding subjects of the Crown, which has so deeply disgraced our country during Mr Long's reign at the Board of Agriculture. I am, Sir, Your obedientservant C. A. ill. BAILEY. October 28th, 1900.

Testimonial to the Rev Professoi D. E. Jones, M.A., Presbyterian College, Carmarthen. DEAR SIR,-The Rev Professor D. E. Jones, M.A., having just completed twenty- five years' service at the Presbyterian College, Carmarthen, his many friends think that the occasion furnishes a fitting oppor- tunitv for presenting him with some tangible token of their appreciation of the valuable I services he has rendered to the public in various ways. Ever since Professor Jones became resident in Carmarthen, he has been foremost in the advocacy of all movements which have tended to 'progress in the town and county, and in the country generally. In the sphere of Elementary and Secondary Education his service has been most con- spicuous and effective. He was for years one of the most useful members of the Car- marthen School Board, and after the Welsh Intermediate Education Act of 1899 came into operation, he threw himself heart and soul into the work of Secondary Education as a member of the Joint Education Com- mittee, which framed the scheme of manage- ment of Intermediate Education in the County, of the County Governing Body, of the Technical Education Committee, and of the body of Local Managers for the Carmar- then District, he has been most assiduous in his efforts to promote the interestll of our County Schools. As a member of the Car- marthenshire County Council (of which he has been chairman) and of other public 1 bodies, his sagacity, his unwearied attention Î to public business, and the thoroughness with which he discharges his public work are- well known to all who are acquainted with him. In his capacity as professor at the Pres byterian College, he has done excellent work in the education of ministers of all denom- inations. We venture, therefore, to think that work of such a character, performed so quietly and unobtrusively, calls for some public recognition. We should feel greatly obliged if all friends interested in the matter would kindly send their contributions either to the Hon. Treasurers or Secretaries.

Death, the Madman. \¡; A VILLAGE TERROR. The police are making a thorough, mwch of the woods near the village of Boxfcad, Suffolk, for an old soldier named: Death, whoso mad freaks have created much sensation in the neighbourhood. 1; He had been lodging in, the Bakerli Arms White-street-green, Boxford. and oa being requested to go he became enraged, and suddenly attacked the landlady, Mrs Phillips. He hit her on the hpad with, a* gun-barrel, and felled her to the ground. Her father Mr Andrews, heard hervnes for assistance and rushed towards Death, who promptly struck him with a heavy piece of wood, and kicked him while he was on thol ground. Both Mrs Phillip?, and Mr Andrews were seriously injured, and could do noshing, to check further violence or prevent toeir assailant from escaping. A neighbour-who was appealed to for help was too terrifiod to give any, and Mrs Phillip's son, aged 10t, wae also much frightened. Eventually the injured woman was able to crawl out of the house and call for the police. When they arrived Death had go 114. He had smashed all the windows and window-frames of the inn, and the tap- room was almost turned upside down4 A box containing £ 24 was stolen, and also several gold rings and brooches and nine watches M-S Up to the present Death .has; > eludofl capture. 'Ihe country is studded with wood ard coverts, and the supposition is that he (,oIJclal,d in one of thrse natural hiding places. They have been searched, but so So fir in vain, although footmarks are i closely followed up. Mrs Phillips is suffering from- attj extensive scalp wound and shock, and her-. father who says he managedto deal Death a.. blow on the head with n mallet, has a severe gash on the temple and his eyes were dis- coloured.
