PORTMADOC BANKIiLTTCY COURT. "FRIDAY.— Before Mr Registrar Jones. A FARMER'S TROUBLES.—Owen Roberts, iarmer, Morfa Glas, Llanfrothlll. appeared for his public examination. his unsecured liabilities being rdurned; at £337 18s lid, against assets estimated to realise £181 8s 6d. The alleged etUses of failure were "loss of action brought against me by Evan Jones: bad crops last, reason; and losses in animals and farming tock." The bankrupt was represented by Mr David Breese. Portmadoc, and Mr Jordan. Bala, appeared for a creditor. In answer to the As- sistant Official Receiver (Mr Daniel Williams), the bankrupt stated that he had been farming :for the last 20 years. He paid £600 for the stock when he first took Morfa Glas, J3500 bem ins own money and the remainder borrowed. I The greater part of the borrowed money was till due. but he had been paying interest on 3t The farm paid him pretty well 'for some Tears but although the re^ £ > had been reduced to £60. he had of late years been enable to make it pay. He knew three years ago that he wa.s insolvent, but his failure was lmainly due to a-n action heard at the last Port- madoc Countv Court, in which he was sued for damages for breach of warranty in respect of the sale of a horse. Judgment went against him. and the amount he was called upon to pay, including costs, was 70. He had not paid his own solicitor's costs in the matter, nor the expenses of his witnesses. Subject to the usual formalities, the examination was closetd.

THE EDUCATION BLL. J ATTITUDE OF THE CARNARVONSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL. A LIVELY DEBATE. THE ACT NOT TO BE PUT IN FORCE. THE LAW TO BE DEFIED. At the Carnarvonshire (County Council, last Thursday (Mr C. A. Jones presiding), as briefly reported in our last issue, Mr D. P. Williams submitted the report of the committee appointed to watch the progress of the Education Bill, and, in the course of his re- marks. pointed' out that the committee were con- vinced that the Government intended passing I' the bill, therefore they considered amendments with a view to improving it. and he thought the amendments recommended would have improved it. Since the committee met and forwarded their amendments to the Government, the bill had been amended accordingly with regard to some of them, but other suggestions had been dis- regarded. The minutes of committee appointed to watch proceedings relating to the Education Bill in Parliament; to take such action as maj be deemed expedient were submitted. It was re- commended that the proviso to Clause 1. should be confined to Councils or Boroughs and Urban Districts with population of over thirty thou- sand that there should be no limit to the amount raised by the local education authority in anv year out of rates also, that the Treasury shall "annually, out of moneys provided by Parlia- ment. pay in aid of the supply of education, other than elementary, a sum equivalent at least to the proceeds of a county rate of a penny in the pound; that Part III. of the Bill be com- pulsory that the consent of the Local Education Authority shall be required to the appointment and dismissal of teachers, but that consent in the case of appointments shall not be withheld except on educational or moral grounds that taking for granted that the (original) managers of the schools should be in the majority, it is suggested that the proportion of "addtional" managers be larger; la) that the Council should select'and appoint from its own body at least a majority of the committee, etc., (b) that after the word "persons" in the second line should be in serted t-ie words "male or female" that as re- gards Wales, the Local Governing Bodies be District Education Committees under the County Governing Body to carry out certain of their duties within their respective areas, but that the constitution of such Local Governing Bodies be so altered that at least a majority of the members shall be directly elected by the ratepayers within their respective districts that having in view the very large increased burden on the rates, which the provisions of this bill wi1! necessiate, it is strongly urged that the Treasury should aug- ment the PrI -:ent principal grants to all Elementary Schools by a sum oi not less than 7s 6d per "child in aver-gs attendance, and that the Necessitous Board Schools and Voluntary Schools Acts be repealed. Mr Ephraim Wood seoonded. Mr E. R. Davies called attention to the fact that the committee had exceeded its duties. They had no plenary powers to bind the Council to any declaration of policy. In one of the recom- mendations they had put the limit of control in such a. position that the whole administration of the bill in this county would fall upon the County Council, while if other recommendations were adopted the bill would be unworkable for the Intermediate School areas were not co-terminus with the parishes. The most important part of the bill was. that which dealt with the questions of rating and the management of the Voluntary Schools, and they could not disguise the fact that the Government had refused to make any sug- gestion to meet the problem and had even re- jected the very moderate amendment of Mr John Dillon which seemed a reasonable settlement of the difficulty. It was a farce ih"t the County Council should be asked to undertake the financial responsibility of a large scheme of this character with absolutely no power or authority with regard to the management or direction of the Voluntary Schools. It was all very well to say that they could appoint teachers on educa- tional grounds but in any case of dispute it would be subject to the veto of the Board of Education. The committee recommended also that they should have power also on moral grounds, but really everybody's standard of morals was not the same. It was sufficiently well known that there was a very strong feeling in the country with regard to the matter, and it was growing in volume and intensity every day, and yet here was a government notwithstanding an express warning received from the electorate refusinr to budge an inch, and refusing a single concession on the question of the management of the 'Voluntary Schools. The Council should realise what. the position would mean. There was an agitation at the present time which must not be disregarded nor igaored, whereby Noncon- formist leaders had expressed themselves that they would not pay .this rate if it was levied. Did they realise the fact that the levying of this obnoxious rate would fall upon the County Coun- cil, and were they prepared to levy a rate which would be regarded with abhorrence by the leaders of Nonconformity ? Were they going to have all the machinery of Local Government ab- solutelv disorganised, in order to pamper to the feelings and benefit those people who fought in the interest of ecclesiasticism ? He did not think so. and he proposed an amendment to the recommendations of the committee. He did not want to be a member of a. Council that was gointr to trespass upon the solemn convictions of people whose consciences would not allow them to pay this rate He wou d therefore propose a deter- mined policy that this Council was not goin- to carry out the provisions of this Act in and for the county of Carnarvon. Let the Government take what action it chose, and mandamus them as long as they liked, and treat them in any way they liked, and send as many writs as they'liked. He would prefer that to a light between the Council and individual ratepayers. Noncon- formists after all were in the majority in this county, though, perhaps, not in some other counties, but the Church neople wanted to have ifc all their own way. He meant the extreme faction of the Church people who wanted to dominate not only the Church of England but those without m the interest of High Churchism which would remove, if it could, every element of Protestamsm m the land. Rather than a W « T6? the CoUncil and ratepayers, let iL V1 Y? between the Council and the*Govern- solution t n move<3 the following re- 'That in view of the refusal of his Majesty's yernment to introduce provisions for safe- guarding public interests with regard to Volun- tary Schools notwithstanding that the whote S responsibility is thrown or ocal rates aided' by Imperial grants this ?h°S iUMCV'S T of the auth°rities to be charged with the administration of the Bill desrre to intimate to the Government in the House of Commons that until such safeguards are introduced that they will not carry out the provisions of the Bill in and for the county of Carnarvon."

He was sorry that all sections of the community d:d mt approach it from the same point of view. It was all very well to indulge in a tirade of abuse a-arainst the committee, but tfhe resolutions of the committee were their honest convictions, and if every member of the Council went into the bill, they would find that the promoter's' aim had been to secure the efficiency of education. The. appointment of a central authority had beep acceptable, and the central .authority selected had been the County Council. The School Boards, or more correctly speaking, the clerks of the School Board. did not take to it, for I their craft was in danger, and they had manu- (factured an agitation which bad really no bottom J | in it. The County Council was far more fitted I to be the central authority than the School I Board. It was a popularly elected body, which the School Board was not. It was elected by an aiCQumulativei vote—thej m'ost junsatisfajctory. Half the voters did not turn. up to the School I Board election, but every voter did at the County 1- Council election, and that proved its popularity. If they did not accept the County Council, they I would have to elect School Boards all over the country. I. Mr E. R. Davies We would not object to that, and that is not to tne point. Alt we object I to is the management of Voluntary Schools. Mr Issard Davies, proceeding, said that the great opposition to the bill emanated from "Cythraul v Canu"—the religious differences. That was the old man of the sea that had been really killing all educational efforts of every Government for the last 50 years (cheers). In the educational world, they found two systems side by side, and if they could only get the sym- pathy of the churches and chapels, this difficult problem would be overcome (hear, hear). No Radical Government could wipe off at one fell stroke a system that had covered the country with buildings during 100 years to the value of £ 26,000.000—a system that bad been the first to rouse the Government to a sense of its duty of educating the publicv and which was in its origin voluntary, religious, and denominational. No Government would dare wipe that out and tell the supporters of that system that they must I divert themselves of the traditions of 100 years. They would never venture to.do it. The "Baner ac Amersau Cvmru" called this bill an endow- ment of the Voluntary Schools. If it was, then the Act of 1870 was an endowment of the Free Churches, and Churchmen had to pay rates to- wards Board Schools, while at the same time, they had to put their hands in their pockets to support their own schools. Was there no inequality and injustice in that? Again, it was contended that this money for the schools would come from the parish rates, whereas really they would come from the county fund. If they took t,he whole of England and Wales, they would find after all that the greater portion of the money would come from the pockets of the supporters of the Church schools. Nonconformists said they must have their rate for the support of their schools, and the money of the Churchpeople unless they chose to abandon their most cherished religious feelings. He had admired the stand I made by the Nonconformists for conscience sake, but he would also expect them to be tolerant. Mr Lloyd-George said that there were 8000 parishes in the country where the only schools were Church schools, but Nonconformists would have a right to erect other schools, whereas in those pariishes where there were only Board Schools, the Churchpeople could not erect Church •schools. If they compared the grievances, in what did Nonconformist people suffer more than Churchpeuple? He felt sorry that the heads of the Free Churches and other churches did not combine to find out a. way to live in harmony (hear, hear). The education of the children was suffering, but he thought the whole could be avoided if people had more consideration for each others feelings, and met together for the purpose of benefiting education. It was ridi- culous for the Free Churches to believe that Churchmen would relinquish and abandon their religious convictions. They would never do it and' they were as determined) every bit as the Free Churches were. He regretted that this re- solution wajs brought forward. It. did not breathe the proper spirit, and would be regarded by the country as a revolting exhibition of selfish ..religious prejudices. Mr D. P. Wi-liams doubted if the amend- ment was- in order, and even if it was. It was a very unfair amendment. They should either adopt or eonlemn the work of the committee who had approached the bill: from an educational ptoint of view. i-Nlr J. T 'Joiies,,Criccieth. thought the amend- ment was carrying the thing rather too far. The 1 Council would lose the benefit of this Act, and they would be doing the county an injustice, Mr J. Menzies salid that the amendment was an. open defiance to the law of the land. Mr E. R. Davies: Certainly. The Chairman conceded, that Mr E. R. Da- vies's amendment was in order, Mr J. T. Roberts pointed out that the resolu- tion at the last Council condemned the bill on several grounds, and it was upon that resolution that the committee was appointed, and the com- mittee had 'brought in reconimeiidatioil;i in direct opposition to the vote of the Council at its last meeting. Mr Issard Davies said-he spoke against that resolution. The Chairman pointed out that the amend- ment was a direct threat that they intended going against the low, and appealed to Mr E. R. Davies to modify it. The Rev J..Davies supported the amendment. Mr E. R. Davies said it might he considered immoral to go against the law of the land, but it was equally immoral for the Government to go against the direct wishes of the country, espe- cially after the result .of Leeds. ) Mr Issard Davies Won on personal grounds. Mr E. R. Davies Oh, yes, it is always on personal grounds that you 'lose, but it is the other way about when you win. Mr Davies then proceeded to reply to the speeches, but he was called to order, and a vote was taken, Mr E. R. iDavies calling for the names to be taken. Mr John Hughes said he objected to the (bill, but he could not support the motion of Mr E. I R. Davies. Mr Hughes then walked out, as he did not intend to vote. For the amendment, there voted Messrs .Elfias Jones, E. R. Davies, W. J. 'Pa.rrv. J. Jones Morris. W. (-If. Williams, :H. Owen, R lEvans, H. Owen (Portdinorwic), R. O. Jones, W. JL Jones, W.

The amendment was declared carried. and rput up as a substantive motion, to which Mr John Hughes, who had returned, moved an •amendment condemning the bill. Davies said that they had already passed that.He could not move an amend- ment which meant nothing. He expected a man to have the courage of his convictions, but Mr Hughes had rushed out. I Mr 'Hughes appealed to the chairman for Ipiro- tection against Mr Daviies. He had a perfect right to go out. and a right to come tack again and move an amendment. Mr Davies should not pose as the dictator of the Council. The 'Chairman ruled Mr Hughes's amendment in order. It was seconded bv Mr D. P. Williams, and 'Ost. twelve only voting for it. Mr .E. R. Dayiies's motion was then carried.

THE BODEDERN SHOW. A RECORD ENTRY LIST. The. annual horticultural, horse, dog. and poultry show of Rodiederu and district was held on Tuesday last. This year the committee had wisely decided to extend the scope and area of the show with the result that the entries num- bered about 3000 and' a high standard of excel- lence was attained by t/lie exhibitors in the various classes. As was to be expected, the horticulturjal Section was responsible for the largest number of entries, but the horses shown were up to the standard of larger and more pre- tentious) shows. The horticultural exhibits were- placed inside a spacious marquee, and the ar- ranging of the different sections lent a. charm toO the scene. The patrons were Mr W. S. Glad- stone, Treiorwerth Rev J. W. Wynne Jones, Carnarvon; Col. Pla,tt, C.B., Gorddinog; and Mr Eric T. W. Platt. Bryn Mel. The president of the show was Major W. H. Edwards, J.P., Towyn Lodge, Holyhead; Mr Humphrey Owen, of Tredtdolphin, acting as vice-president. The principal executive officials were Mr S. Prytherch, chairman of committees; M;r W.

ANGLESEY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. THE: ANNUAL SHOW. BUTTER-MAKING ON THE FIELD. 'Glorious weather favoured the Anglesey Agri- cultural Society, which held it's 31st annual show at Llangefni on 'Thursday. The attendance far exceeded that of previous years, and from a financial po'in:t of view. as well as every other, the show turned out, to be la, great success. The exhibits leceeded 500—an increase of about 120 upon, last year's—and amongst these were the pick-ed,eti-tt.l,e and the finest hors-es, of the leading breeders of Anglesey, which is the premier breeding county of North Wa-les. The judges declared the quality in each section to 'he su- perior to that of (previous years. The horned cattle and the light horses Were excellent, and in their opinion the animals shown in the heavy section and the shire horse's' section would not have disgraced a Royali agricultural show. Among 'the well-known, breeders who- exhibited were Mr 0. Parry Jones, iPitas. Llechylched Mr WiUiam Prytherch, Tycroes; Mr C. F. (Priest- ley, Hirdrefaig"; 'and Mr Gardner, of Valley; While Professor Winter, of the 'Lledwigan Farm,, sent in some fine exhibits, the property of the North Wales University 'College. The Marquis of Anglesey 'was the president; Mr C. E. Pries t- ley, J.P., vice-president; Mr J. R. Jones, J.P., Bodfeirig, and Mr 'Lewis Hughes, J.P., Am- lwch, deputy-.presidents; and Mr John Jones, N. IP. IBank, treasurer. It .is worthy of note that the Anglesey show, togiether with that of the two counties, are the bestl managed in the whole of S'Û'rt'h Wales. The committees de- serve credit for this. but they are guided by their secretaries, and the onerous duties de- volving upon Mr James !E. Hughes. 'Bryn C'u- helVn, .LI an erchymedd, were well and satisfac- torily performed. An innovation in Welsh shows was the butter- makingt competition, whisht took plaice -in a. spacious in-arquev on the field. Hundreds oif people I it-e-d the ropes waitching a. 'bevv 'of rosy- cheeked farmers' daughters, daintily garbed in white, churning merrily for the best. It is to the credit of the Agricultural Department of the North Wales University College, and e,-poeiallv the energy of Professor Winter, that this com- petition was attended with such great success. The cream was churned and miade into butter according to what has now become known as the new and improved system., introduced some years ago fey technical instructions in dairy work..A 'grant, of £ 520 was made to the societv by a joint committee of the University 'College and tne Anglesey County Council towards the experiment, for the purpose of encouraging and giving a. fillip to the dairy industry in the county; and in addition to this, Mr C. F. Priestley, the vice-president, generously gave the prizes, which1 amounted in the aggregate to £ 5. The innovation, however, cost the society L50, but i't will undoubtedly produce good re- sults. 'Most 'o'f the candidates' for honours had attended the classies established in various cen- tres by the County Technical' Instruction 'Com- mittee. The following were the judges and stewards JfLJiDGElS1—-Hela.vy horses, Mr J. 'Lewis, Trwst Llewelyn, 'Glarthmyl, and Mr (Robert Roberts, B-rongadair, Por'timadoc; light horses, Mr W.
