Sad Death in the Hayfield at Llanpumpsaint. An inquest was held by Mr H. Brunei White, deputy coroner for :\Vest Carmarthenshire, on Wednesday, the 8th inst., on the body of Ann Lewis, of Llether Farm, Llanpumpsaint. David Lewis said I live at Llether Farm, in the parish of Llanpumpsaint, and am a farmer. The body the jury have just seen was that of my wife. She was about 60 years of age. On Monday last, the 6th inst., about 3 o'clock, the deceased followed me to the hayfield. She took hold of the horses's head in the gambo the horses started a little on, and I jumped down from the hay, and I found my wife on the ground. I, with my two daughters, carried her to the house. Whilst in the house she said she had fallen and asked me what injuries she had. I sent for Dr Yorath, Conwil, and he came as quickly as he could. The deceased caught in my hand and said, Oh, David, dear, I am parting from you." She repeated this two or three times. Shortly before the doctor came to the house she died. Mary Lewis (25), daughter of the deceased, said. I was in the hayfield on Monday. 1 s^w my mother take hold of the horse, and saw her falling. She loosed the horse's head and the animal went on. I picked her up, and she could not stand, and my father assisted her to the house We took her to the parlour, aud put her on the bed. We then sent for a doctor. The deceased was not a strong woman, and need to complain of her head. She told me she was very bad before the doctor came, and died befuro he arrived, and said many a time she was going to part from us. Dr Tom Howell Biuoe Yorath, Conwil, said he was called to deceased's house on Monday, the 6th inst., about 3 45 p m and he found the deceased lying on a bed in the parlour dead. He partially- stripped and examined the body, and found a compound fracture of the two bones of the left leg above the ankle and three ribs on the right side were broken. She was also bleeding from the nose. In his opinion, from tiie evidence he had heard, death waE due to shock consequent upon the injuries she bad received. The jury brought in a verdict accordingly.

I found it hard to get out of bed j in the mornings, too. T." -n. n Of all the medioiinea i tried, oniy uoan s liaekaehe kidney pills did me good.

Llanddarog- Agricultural Show. The ninth annual show wias held at Lla.n- ddarog on Wednesday. Despite the rather unfortunate weather, there was a good attend ance of opectaitors. There were over 400 entries in the various departments and the quality fJhown proves conclusively that the society is doing excel- lent woirk, for it compares very favourable with that shown at Llanddarog in the early years of the show. There was not ia large entry of Shorthorn cattle but the quality was everything that could be desdtred. The bull classes contained splendid exhibits. The competition in the heifer calves was very keen; this class occu- pied the judges for some time, and little divided the con-hpetitors from one another. There was a. large entry of horses. The carters were a very satisfactory lot-, and showed evidence of the marked improvement which has taken place in the agricultural horses of Carmarthenshire of late years. The horses for underground purposes were a very useful clasts, and some really good quality was to be observed in the hackney and cob classes. As usual thetle was a large entry a.nd keen I coimpetition in the poultry section, and in the garden pi-oduco. The Judges were:—Oattfc, Mr J. D. Key, Tynywern, LlanelJy; Heavy horses, Mr J. F. Thomas, Derillys Court, Carmarthen; Light hot Mr H. W. Thomas, Beuallt, Ponrar- duilaiis; Live poultry and dogs, Mr D. Davies, Myrddiai Poultry Farm, Abergwili; Dairy produce, Miss Thomas, U.C.W., Gilfacih, Orickhowell; Garden produce, Mr F. Sarman, The Gatrdens, Golden Grove. The steniairds m-ei-e:-Cattle, Mr D. Eva.ns, Coodgalin; Mr W. Davies, Fantllan Mr J. Harries, Llwynonell-fach; Horses, Mr J. Jones, Toqvoed-uchia.f; Mr M. Davies, Torcoed- ganol; Mr D. Thomas, Lhvynhaf; Mr I.

Emus, Tygwyn; Mr Ohas. Morris, Hill Crest; Gate, Mr W. J. Edwards, Penllain Mr John Evans, Coedgain Mr T. Williams, jimr., Gilfach; Mr T. Rees, Friar's Park, Carmarthen. A luncheon was held in the afternoon; the Rev B. L. Puxley, Lletherllestri, priesident of the Society, occupied the chair. The President proposed the- usual loyal toast, and in doing so said that his Majesty was a king among cattle breeders, and a cattle ibileiedei- among kings. Mr James Thomas, Haverfordwest, pro- posed the toast of the President. Mr Puxley had travelled a long distance over the seas to be amongst, them. All the parishioners of L'landdarog and everybody connected with the i^how were glad to see him oimongst them. He hoped that Mr Puxley would enjoy the day, and that he would often be present am ongsit them. I The toast was received with enthusiasm. The President, in responding, said that he only wished that he were aible to stay in the coiunty and to indulge in fanning oursuits. He lived in lite West Riding of Yorkshire, whore the stacks were only 11 chimney stacks and where the pigs were made of iron. He noticed that nearly every other occupation had same disease which went with it; but he believed that farming was the healthiest pur- suit in the world. The only thing which far- mer's seemed to suffer from was good living. He noticed that the commonest" complaint here was indigestion, which usually arose from a too generous dielt. He also noticed that those of his friends who took to agricul- tural pursuits ibegan to increase around the equator. They could not have a. better part of the world than tlrts to farm on. They had a. regular rainfall. It was very different in Australia, where he had been. Sometimes three-fourths of the stock died through drought. A fairtmer sowed wheat. If there was irain he had 25 bushels to the acre if there was no rain lie had nothing. In this part of the world they knew what was going to happen. Here the danger was that they would have too much rain instead of too little. He would like nothing better than to live mmongst them and to be present at those gatherings year after year. Mr H. 0. L. Puxley proposed the toast of the Judges, which was duly honoured. Mr J. F. Thomas said he was surprised to see such a good lot of horses. There was a class for the beet yearling gelding or filly. He had to pass: over a colt because it was not cast rated. That class usually was far the best colt or filly. There was a very good class of brood mares, and some useful collier mares. He thought many of these were over 15 hands, but it was not hiils place to measure them, He mentioned the fact that the King had sent a. lot of horses to be exhibited in Amoricia which would, no doubt, create a. demand for British horses, and so benefit our fairtmers. Mr Key said that in the bull classes which he had had before him there had been very good competition. Mr D. Davies said that he had good poultry to judge. The Orpingtons especially were fit to show alt t,h, Crystal Palace. Mr James Thomas proposed the toast of the Committee and the Society, and in doing so complimented Mr Lewis on the energy and ability with which he discharged the secre- tarial duties. Mr Hugh Thoimias, in seconding, said that he was secretary of a show at Haverfordwest, wlhich had at the last moment been turned into aquatic sports on account of the weather. Mr J. W. Lewis in responding, said that there was great credit due to the members of the committee who came several miles to attend meetings, in order to make arrange- ments for the show. He went on to propose the toast cf the vice-presidents, and men- tioned the fact that Mr Hardress Puxley was the fomnder of the show and of the Llan- ddaiioig Fanners' Olub, which had done so much to improve farming stock in the dis- trict

Passive Resistance Legal. A new complexion has been put on Passive Resistance by the decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of the Attorney-General v. the County Council of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The important question at issue was whether the County Council as the educa- tion authority were bound to pay the teachere in non-provided schools, that is, in the old Voluntary Schools, for giving religious in- struction. The Council had deducted from the teachers' salaries a certain percentage equivalent to the time occupied in giving religious instruction in their schools, and thereupon the Board of Education, acting through the Attorney-General, applied for a mandamus to compel the Council to pay the teachers their full salaries. The mandamus was granted, but the matter was carried to the Court of Appeal, and that body by ta majority of two to cne- the Master of the Rolls and Lord Justice Farwell bein- on one side and Lord Justice Moalton on tne other —has decided that there is no obligation on the part of the education authority to pay for the religious instruction.

He was a great policitian end Liberal. At election times he was always in the kr ow. An inquest was held at the Slire Hall, Lir-it dilo on Wednesday. John Price said: I live at Manchester House, Llandiio. The deceased was my brother. His name was George Richard Price, and was 54 years of age. He was a cattle drover, and had no fixed iesi- dence. He used to go about the county with dealers attending fairs. I saw him last alive cn Saturday. He was as usual, and did not complain. I am not aware of his linving fits. He was ruptured. He was not dropsical. He never had rheumatic fever. George McOul- loch said: I live and work at he Kirg's Head lin. I knew deceased. I saw deceased about six o'clock after his return from Car- marthen fair. He was not sober. T saw him in the bar of the King's Head. Abc.ut nine o'clock I saw him in the office in the yard. He was not sober. He said be was bad, and asked me to get him a brandy and soda. He looked bad. I took .him a brandy and soda. He only took a drop of it, and told me to go to supper as he did not want anything. He was then in the office sitting down I went to supper leaving him sitting in the office. It was then aibout half-past nine. I came in about quarter of an hour and found de- ceased in the yard just outside the office door lying on his back with his arms straight down In my opinion he was then dead. I fetched the landlord and he cent for a doctor, and Dr Phillips came in about five minutes. De- ceased was fully dresaed at the time, his cloth ing had not been disarranged, and there were no signs of a struggle of any kind.—Dr Phil- lips said: I aim a medical practitioner in prac- tice at Llandiio. I was called about 10 p.m. on Monday, the 13th inst. I found deceased lying on his back in the yard about a yard from the door of the office. He wns dead. He had not teen dead long. I had attended him years ago for rheumatism and he was rup- tured, but that had nothing to do with his death. The only external mark on the body wias a bruise over the left eye, which may have been a few days old, it was not severe, and had nothing to do with his death. Knowing deceased's habits, I believe he died from syn- cope from dilatation of the heart. A verdict of death from dilatation dtf the heart was returned.

The Foresters High Court and the Treatment of Consumptives. SANATORIUM LEVY PROPOSAL REJECTED. The High Court of Forest ens at lut ftek in the St. James's Hall, King's Lynn, under ] the presidency of Chief Ranger C. E. Ward. Brother Farris, South London, brought forward a proposal for providing for sana- torium treatment of members and their families suffering from consumption. Brother Rawiing contended that the treat- ment of consutnption should be made at national concern. It would be an unwise step to include sanatorium treatment of consumption among the objects of the society Brother G. Abbott, Sheffield, wished to move an amendment declaring it to be the treatment of consumption, but the Chief Ranger declined to accept the amendment. Brother Ralph, London, opposed any com- pulsory payment for the treatmenit of con- sumption when they had members walking about who c l not know whether they would get any breakfast to-morrow morning. Brother ->^arlow, London, said he did not believe there wias any more efficacy in open- air treatment than in that building. He had had two boys at Mount Vernon, who went there in bitter cold weather and were put in beds in the open air with the snow blowing on to the pillows and sheets. He was told to fetch them home because they did not like them to die in the sanatorium, but as a result of medical treatment he re- joiced to say one of the boys turned out to die was going to work this week. They wanted better housing for the poor and better conditions of labour. The propeoition was rejected.

FRESH AIR-AT HOME. The "South Wales Daily News" says Another Mow has been successfully dealt At the Sanatorium movement. The Foresters yesterday decided th&t they would have noth- ing 00 do with the vaunted so-called fresh-lif panacea. For ourselves we have nothing to say against a sanatorium as such, for the reason that we believe in the curative pro- perties as fresh air. But the sanatorium movement is doomed because it is founded on a wrong basis. The question involved is of national importance, because the scourge is the most devastating of any of the modem ills that flesh is heir to, and the remedy depends upon our statesmen and not upon our medical scientists. Let us state the position briefly. Consumption is the scourge of the po iI". Take a common case. The victim lives in an unhealthy environment. He has neither fresh air nor clean surround- ings. There is overcrowding and all the evik of bad housing. He is, in a word, the pro- duct of his environment. He is taken to a Sanatorium. The conditions are favourable to health. He enjoys fresh air. Let us sup- pose he is cured. Is he to stay on or go back to his old su.nroundings? It is obvious that if he is cured he cannot remain. He, there- fore, goes back to the disease-breeding den. The result lis clear. The 'last condition is worse than the first, and the man who could be an asset is a burden. That is, supposing the Sanatorium treatment is effectual-as a matter of fact it seldom is. Now, it is claimed by the Sanatorium advocates that the cure for consumption is fresh air and clean sur- roundings. But if these are the cure, are they not the prevention? Suppose for a moment that the money on Sanatoria-and they are very costly institutions-were de- voted to wholesome housing, what would be the result? If the worker possessed at home the virtues of the sanatorium—fresh aar and clean surroundings—would he not be immune to the disease and be an asset instead of a burden? We say this: Sanatoria instead of fighting the scourge actually foster it. And for this reason. They play with the effect and ore the cause, and while public atten- tion is called to sanatoria and public money is asked to suipport t!hem, the cause of the disease is neglected. This fact must be ob- vious to all who give the question any serious thought. What has to be done is to find the cause. The next is step is to try to remove it The sanatoria devotees invert the pro- cess. The effect is sufficient for them! It is amazing that it never occurs to them that the worker, if he is to be an asset, must have a sanatorium at home. Ile must have in his own house the virtues of the Sanatorium. Why not? Is it oheaper, more reasonable, more profitable to supply the ambulance at the foot of the cliff than to erect a fenoe at the top? We are glad the Foresters have pronounced their judgment as they have. If Sanatoria entihusaasts care to experiment out of their own pockets, no one can com- plain. But when they appeal for public sup- port they must expect that the public will carefully consider bhe return for the money.

The Llandovery Motor Mishap. DEATH OF THE INJURED LAD. The young lad named William Price, son of Mr John Price, Tynewydd Farm, Mothvey, who met with an apcident while proceeding with a cart loaded with stones on the Llangadock-road, near Mount Pleasant, Llanwrda, on Tuesday evening, when the horse got frightened at the approach of a motor-car, has surcumbed to his injuries. The lad fell off, and sustained severe internal injuries (as reported on our 4th page). He was conveyed by Mr Bowen Summers, Melton, Pembrokeshire, the owner of the car, to Dr Taylor's surgery at Llandovery, where he received every attention. In epite of the attention he, however, died early on Wednesday inornipg.

Bales for Bathers. The loss of many Kres by drowning this season has led Mr William Henry, hon secre- tary of the Royal Liife Saving Society, to draw up a list of a few "dont's"' which all bathers ought to observe. They are as fol- lows :— Don't bathe in quiet secluded spots Don't swim out from dhore in the sea and other tidal waters unattended by a boat. Don't bathe shortly after a hearty meal. Don't bathe «*ione riif subject to giddiness or faintenss. Don't take fright because you happen to fall into the water in your clothes. Clothes will float. Don't take fright becaawse taken with the cramp. Keep calm land turn on the back, then nib and streeth the affected limb. If seized in the leg, turn up the toes, straighten the to stretch the muscles, and apply fric- tion by kicking the s rface of the water. L eruve water as soon as possible. Mr Henry cooacludes by drawing the atten- tion to the need of making swimming a part of our national education.

A Llanelly Experiment. ATTEMPT TO DIVERT THE WATERS OF THE LOUfcHOR, The Board of Trade have p:iven their sane- tion to the carrying out of an important experiment in the Llanelly estuary, upon the application of the harbour trust. In order to increase the depth and width of the channel to the sea, the harfbour superinten- dent, Mr John Rees, has dip-vised a scheme 3 if or running out a temporary spur of sand- 3 or running out a temporary spur of sand- ha,g. from the existing training wall near t I Caregfaoh. TW object of the experiment is r to see whether the waters of ithe Loughcr River <^au be diverted from their present [ course into a new channel, the effect of which would be to make a new channel s sweeping past the harbour lighthouse. If r the experiment proves successful the bac& "ill be removed ajid a permanent ktructura lalid down oil te. same line of direction. The harbour tn16.t aire acting in consonance with locui opinion and against the advice of the [expert engineers who have been retained from tame to time. In the meantianv the i-.rarie of f,li.- port is steadily developing. The month of July established a reoand in coal shipments, aftd there is every reason to believe that the carrying out of the Loughor scheme will bring about a ful-ther development.
