--_._----Alleged Victimisation…
Alleged Victimisation of Rev, J. IM. dones. PRr:JIP AL LEWIS DEFENDS THE COLLEGE AUTHORITIES. In the S.W.D.N. for Saturday the fol- lowing letter appears in reference tc a statement made in that newspaper by rr Toplis" concerning the alleged victim- isation of the Rev. J. M. Jones, M.A., Aberdare, and which statement was re- produced in the Leader — Sir,—The paragraph headed "New Theology Leaning" is a jumble of clumsy misstatements. I must apolo- gise for introducing names of persons, but it is necessary to do so in defence of the committee. Toplis" insinuates that the Rev. J. Morgan Jones. Aberdare, Was left out of the committee because he expressed disapproval of the committee's attitude in regard to a certain matter. As far as I am aware, all that Mr. Jones did was to ask a question at a committee held on Wednesday, June 29th, with re- gard to a resolution passed at a meeting of the committee held on Wednesday February 23rd—a committee at which Mr Jones was not present. "Toplis" wants the churches to understand that Mr Jones's "interference cost him his place on the committee. Will you allow me to Point out two or three simple facts in regard to the constitution of the College Committee? Gentlemen are elected on the committee for two years. They are eligible for re-election at the expiration .)f that period, but as the committee consists I of a fixed number of representatives from each county in Wales, and as practically all ministers, and as many laymen, are eligible to be on the committee, it is very seldom that any one-apart from the officials-is on the committee for a longer Period than four years. Glamorganshire is a large county, and is represented on the committee by 36 gentlemen—ministers aQd laymen. There are nearly 400 minis- ters and laymen in Glamorgan who are' eligible to act on the committee, and the Selection Committee is anxious to give everybody an opportunity of showing his Merest in the work of the College by giving him a turn on the College Com- mittee. It has been a rule from time irarnemorial that changes should be made every year in the personnel of the govern- ing body. This year Mr. Jones is one of 24 who were left out in favour of others who will serve for the next two years. Perhaps Toplis would like to see addi- tional samples of his puerile reasoning. I find that the Rev. D. Eurof Walters was left out. It is evident that the College has no love for the Bible Society. Dyfn- allt, Crwys, Mafonwy, R. J. Huws, Elfed, were among the rejected. What further proof is needed that the authorities were bent on making a clean sweep of bards? It is true "T.T." remains. But his in- clusion was probably an omission. The Itev. D. Evans, D.D., Hawen, was not re- elected. It's as clear as daylight that the College can't stand American degrees. The Rev. J. L. Williams, Aberystwyth, | ^as among the victims. Evidence again that Mr. Williams' energetic defence of orthodoxy roused the committee's ire. -he statement that Mr. J. Morgan Jones \Vas omitted from the committee for the ensuing year on account of his theology is equally whimsical, and can have ori- ginated only in a brain bent on mischief. In conclusion, I should like to point 0tlt that Mr. Jones remonstrated (as tt Toplis says) on Wednesday, June 29th. Ille committee for the coming session had been already selected on the previous daY. Mr. Jones's action on the day fol- lowing was the cause of his omission from a committee selected on the day devious. There is an old saying: Post hoc ergo propter hoc." That is some- titnes true. "Toplis" has another "Ante hoc ergo propter hoc." That can only hold in the chaotic uni- "erse which seems to exist in Toplis's Pagination. T. LEWIS. Memorial College, Brecon.

--------, ---------.--Mountain…
Mountain Ash Jottings. BY "LUCIFER." The holiday season is over again, and I teachers and children and Education I Committee are back in their places. It is to be hoped that wherever they spent their vacation they had a better summer than what we have enjoyed (?) here at home.' The Mountain Ash Education Com- mittee have more than once referred en- viously to the teachers' month's holiday. But they have gone one better by taking five weeks. There has not been a meet- ing of the Council or Education Com- mittee since July, and as five Tuesdays have elapsed since then, they have had 5 weeks' holidays. And like the teachers they are fortunate in getting the same pay for August as they do for the other months. A Has anybody here seen summer? Not the summer of the Isle of Man, or Bournemouth, or Cromer, but the sum- mer we usually get in South Wales. It is not an extraordinarily good one in the best of seasons, but this year, up to the time of writing, well, it's chronic. It is neither warm nor fine. Those people who generally spend the winter abroad—on the Mediterranean, Switzsrland, Italy, or the South of France —must feel sorry that they returned to this country for the summer. The rav- ages of the present British climate will surely play havoc with their delicate con- stitutions. Mountain Ash people are lucky that they have not organised any big open-air functions this year. If they had, the probability 1s that those people would have dropped money owing to the wretch- ed weather prevailing. Public spirit and enterprise at Mountain Ash seem to have had the bottom knocked out of them. I don't know why, unless it is the financial loss on the Pavilion which some of our tradesmen sustained some years ago. Aberdare, in spite of the meteorological outlook, have held the usual round of events, but alas! the organisers have emerged from the task wiser and poorer men. The August Bank Holiday Sports were extremely disappointing, and left a balance on the wrong side. Next day the Flower Show had a wretched day, and consequently bad attendance. Result, funds in hand from previous shows all swallowed up, together with an addition- al loss of from 250 to .£70. Nor was that all. The Park Regatta experienced a very bad day" weather- ally" if not exactly financially. The Lifeboat Demonstration ought to have commanded better sunshine and better patronage. The Horse Show last Thurs- day was another failure owing to the rain. I am sorry to weary my readers with notes on the weather, especially such weather as has been conferred on us late- ly. The weather is the last refuge of a scoundrel—I mean a scribe. Things are very slack. No news about. Thank Heaven the Mountain Ash District Coun- cil are coming together next Tuesday. Look out.
Notes Here and There.
Notes Here and There. BY "ONLOOKER." Visitors from the Aberdare Valley to the Cardiganshire seaside resorts will be pleased to know that the new railway from Lampeter to Aberayron will be completed within a month. — Much is likely to be heard in future with regard to the ceremony of the Buffs at the funerals of deceased mem- bers. A local rev. gentleman refused last week to allow the R.A.O.B. to con- duct their service and form their usual link, although the relatives, it is said, had expressed their desire for such a ceremony. This will give rise to a highly debat- able point between the various lodges of the R.A.O.B. and ministers of the above persuasion. It was freely said by the rev. gentleman in question that inas- much as he had charge of the funeral he would not permit any Buff ceremony at all. Perhaps we shall have a test case upon the matter very soon. I hear that one young Aberamanite showed a great deal of U swank" at Aberystwyth recently. Hansom cabs were requisitioned pretty freely, and there \yere plenty of drinks for those who entered his company. With the advent of aviation comes a new form of sport, viz., aeroplane div- ing. As practised at the Hackney Baths, London, machines are taken to the div- ing board, the bather takes a plunge, then hovers in mid-air for some time, and when tired of flapping the wings, descends gracefully into the water. If this pastime catches on, provision will have to be made at local baths ere long to cope with the desires of up-to-date swimmers. « Camping out was the craze that took the attention of Cwmbach youths recently. Three or four of them were going great guns during the first fort- night in August, but when the wet weather came, it damped not only their clothes but their spirits also. The camp has now been permanently abandoned. The new « Touring League" at Cwm- aman brings to our mind the many and various circles in which the term league is used. Football leagues are of course familiar, while theology leagues and political leagues have sprung up of re- cent vears and become fairly popular. And we must not forget the little-known but nevertheless active "League of Dummy-Teat Clubs at Aberaman. Two young Aberdarians who are now on their way to the Brussels Exhibition via Paris, have been studying guide Shookie to the continong and an Anglo- French dictionary for the past two months. We hope that they are now proficient in the language which makes for the "entente cordiale, and^ that their experiences at gay Paree are quite pleasant.
tàIIfo'N\W.õ..tir:... Holiday…
tàIIfo'N\W.õ..tir: Holiday a in Cardi-Iand. Any one who wants a quiet holiday witnout jading hie nerves or making himself more tired than when at home, should hie to the coast of Cardiganshire, where the trans-Atlantic breezes come as it were on the rebound. Of course, he must fight shy of Aberystwyth, with its hurry-scurry and perpetual round of toil, and try to settle himself at one of the quiet watering places which lie between Cardigan and the above town. Fortunately, or otherwise, I undertook my journey from Aberdare on a Monday morning, and during the whole journey, via Neath to Landore, I could not enter a single carriage nor alight on any plat- iorm without encountering a number of iorm without encountering a number of preachers. When at home I used to of "gentlemen of the cloth who looked for supplies was com- paratively small, apart, of course, from the Calvinistic Methodists and Wesleyans who went to keep their "eyhoeddiad." But here were Baptists and Congregation- alists, old theologians and new theoloe- ians, students and veterans in the minis- try, going hither and thither after their previous day's labour, instead of day of rest. And what a fine lot of companions ministers are! They will talk upon all imaginable subjects in a railway carriage, and an old lady told me triumphantly after their departure: "'Rwy'n enjoyo cwmni r pregethwyrs 'ma; ma nhw'n dweud shwd stories bach nice." But she had not heard the little conversation which was conducted 'sotto voce' between two young students, though their prox- imity to me made me become unwillingly an eavesdropper. Their chief topic of conversation was the reception given them by the landlady and the deacons of the church where they had preached. One of them was excellently treated. There was a nice minister's room in which to make private preparation before entering the pulpit, and everything was d £ ne tor his material comfort, presum- ably for the sake of securing the best spiritual comfort from him. Then he was given meals which were fit for a king and had he chosen to stay a few days he could have had a game of lawn tennis at the court of one of the wealthiest mem- bers of the church. The case of his com- panion was entirely different. He was given a cold and formal reception, and the attitude of his congregation in the morning and evening was enough to break a man's heart. Thus I learned that even ministers have their ups and downs, and that their travelling experiences are far from being all honey. As we neared Carmarthen the conversation became general once more, and the chief raconteur in the car- riage was m high glee relating stories of old-time preachers and their various methods of denouncing the "Evil One." When we got out at Carmarthen Station a special corridor train from Cardiff steamed in and made a halt, en route for Aberystwyth. Here was a compart- ment full of young ladies from the Welsh metropolis, who seemed to be either typists or chorus girls. They did not attempt to hide the playing-cards which had probably done useful service en rohte, and I thought to myself what a fine opportunity this was for one of the veterans to preach an .impromptu sermon to an otherwise un-get-at-able congrega- tion But the spirit of John Elias, Christmas Evans, and other worthies is now dead, and to preach without pay would be the last thing to expect from the modern minister. And one could not help noticing that the lack of respect and total indifference with which the ministers were passed betokened their ex- tremely uninfiuential position to-day. When we arrived at tne country around Lampeter, a stay of two days proved quite uneventful except for the iuss and worrv of the Glamorganshire visitors. It was noticed, however, that near the boundarv line between two counties on the banks of the Teifv, the people on the Carmarthen- shire side were most vehement in pro- testing that they were not Cardis, but Shirgars. Why they belittle the poor Cardi I do not know, although I gleaned later that the Cardis are more devoted to manual labour (females included) so that they do not lead quite so refined an exist- ence. For all that I should prefer, personally, to be a Cardi, for you cannot but admire their honest toil and their splendid ambition to get on. It was when we got to the seaside, how- ever, that we had a real glimpse at the character of the Cardiganshire girl. There were two daughters of a wealthy farmer, and a young man from the "gweithiau," staying at the same house as ourselves. The young ladies were ac- companied, I might say, by a younger brother, who was to keep his eyes open and report later to his parents. The latter had travelled with their offspring to see them safely ensconced in lodgings, and a sigh of relief was given by the father when he found his marriageable daughters settled in comfortable but by no means flighty environment. We learnt from them why Cardi girls are so little respected by the inhabitants of the sur- rounding counties. It seems that Car- marthenshire and Pembrokeshire girls attend to their domestic duties in the morning and afterwards take their after- noon walks, whereas the women have to attend to the crops and the live stock on the farm in the land of Ceredigion. The aforementioned girls were ever open to make a match, but were much more care- ful in selecting than are our girls at Aberdare. They could not do with a man unless he possessed Herculean strength, a thorough knowledge of farming, and was good-looking. In the absence of the, latter qualification, he must be either a schoolmaster or- curate. In any case, a hurried courtship would never do, for as one of the young ladies said: Rhaid ei dreio ar ei hwyl gwaetha' gyda'i hwyl gore' And thus we see why there are so many old maids in Cardiganshire. In the absence of eligible young men of good character and sound occupation, they prefer remaining single rather than make a matrimonial muddle. And perhaps they are wiser, after all, than many of our town girls, who are more often than not in the County Court soon after mar- riage.
Local Trippers in ar Storm.
Local Trippers in a r Storm. A TRAGIC INCIDENT. On Friday night a good many people from Aberdare, Aberaman, and Moun- tain Ash took advantage of the weekly trip to the Isle of Man. The G.W.R. train journey to Fishguard passed off all right, and the anchor of the good ship St. Andrew's was soon weighed, and off the trippers went light-heartedly into the Irish Sea. From that point to within 50 miles of Douglas they sailed in a terrific storm. The ship tossed about in an alarming manner. Just off Holy- head a young man was washed over- board, and immediately the captain on the bridge shouted, "Man overboard!" In a very short time the engines were reversed. The lifeboat was put out with four sailors wrapped in lifebelts, 'who rowed about on the look out, while the officers did the same with their field glasses. After cruising for over an hour vainly endeavouring to discover the young man's body, the lifeboat was called in and the ship started off again for Douglas. The majority on board were unaware of the occurrence, as they were suffering from mal-de-mer. They were all glad to get on terra-firma once more. The return home on Sunday jmorning was accomplished without any particular incident.

ABERNANT ASSOCIATION F.C. At the annual general meeting of the above club, Mr. Aaron Stiley in the chair, Mr. D. J. James, of Fothergill- street, was re-elected hon. secretary, and Mr. Aneurin Williams treasurer. The club, who intend running two teams this season, have decided to become affiliated with the Glamorgan Association League (3rd Division). The committee have al- ready secured 34 players, and the new men this season are W. T. Bowen, as goalman, who played last year for the Aberdare Town Reserves; Lot Williams, of Cwmbach, the right half-back; Tom Griffiths, of the Aberdare Excelsiors' A.F.C.; Harry Day, of Swindon, as right wing; Tom Fowler, of the Aberdare Town. Reserves, as full-back, and others. 000 TRECYNON WINDSORS A.F.C. On Saturday last a large number of people assembled at the Park to witness the Trial Match held in connection with the above club. The players were: Reds (A team): Goal, Jack Phillips; i backs, Freddy Lewis (Aberdare Town Reserves) and T. J. Austin; halves, John Rees James (vice-captain), D. Ed- wards (Aberdare Town Reserves), and Eddy Morgan; forwards, Jack Thomas, Edwin Snow (captain, and formerly of Cwmbach A.F.C.), Tom Howells, Tom Pittard, and Tom Rosser. Stripes (B. team): Goal, D. James-Jones (Aberdare Territorials A.F.C.); backs, Beddoe (Llwydcoed A.F.C.) and Griffiths (Cwm- dare A.F.C.); halves, Jim Davies (Aber- dare Town Reserves), T. Williams, and W. T. Jones (Gadlys Corinthians); for- wards, Tom Rees (Park Rangers), W. Price, W. Elias (Bangor University), W. Oxenham (Aberdare County School), and Percy Gardener (Aberdare Thursdays). Mr Edward Jones, National Schools, acted as referee. W. Price opened the score for the B team, and Rosser equal- ised. ifter the change of ends Edwin Snow, the skipper, added two more goals. Final score: Reds (A team), 3 goals; Stripes (B team), The new arrivals showed very promis- ing form, and the committee will have their work cut out in choosing players for the First and Second Teams. Edwin Snow, the new captain, is a good starter for the First Team, and Freddy Lewis, the full-back, is as safe as a house. Lewis, with either Austin or Eddy Mor- gan, ought to make a rock-like defence. As a centre-half, Dai Edwards, of the Town Reserves, is a great acquisition. There are good centre-forwards in the persons of Tom Howells and W. Elias, whilst Jack Thomas is sure of his place on the right wing. But who are the committee to choose for the left wing position There's Rosser and Gardener, whilst the inside men are all worthy of their places, viz,. Edwin Snow, W. Oxenham D. T. Evans, Pittard, and others. As .for the goalkeeper's posi- tion, Jack Phil lips is a "good un," I whilst D. Jawer--Jones, of the Territor- ials, would make an admirable reserve man Several pr'osiinent residents of Craalys and Irecynon have been elected on the executive of the club, whilst the team have a grand supporter in Mr. W C. Williams, of the National Schools," C. Williams, of the National Schools, and an admirable hon. secretarv in Mr. David Thomas Jones, of North" Avenue, Gadlys. o o o LLWYDCOED A.F.C. LLWYDCOED A.F.C. ?j Match, "Whites v. Stripes, was held in connection with the above club on Saturday at the Llwydcoed Football Grounds.

Jenkin Jones (one back only); halves, George Beddoe, W. D. Davies, and T. J. Walters; for- wards, Dan Davies. D. L. Owen W. T. Davies, Daniel J. Davies. and H. J. Davies. Stripes: Goal, Rees Harris backs. Jack Hopkins and T. F. Davies; halves, W. Davies, B. Beddoe, and Dd Davies; forwards. Richard Walters, W Davies, Titus Griffiths, T. Francis, and T. Jones. Mr. Ben Griffiths acted as referee. In the first. half the Whites Bcored tw° goals through Dan Davies. Alter the change of ends The Stripes played with renewed vigour, and Titus Gripths, the old veteran player, showed that he has lost none of his old time form in scaring a clever goal. The Whites succeeded in adding two more goalrs through Dan Davies (No. 2) and H- J. Davies. Final score: Whites. 4 goals; Stripes, 1 goal. Edward J. Ed- wards proved that he has lost none of his old time ability. ABERAMAX FOOTBALL. BY "ONLOOKER." The third trial match for the season was played by the Aberaman Wanderers at Michael's Field on Thursday after- noon last. Mr. Dan Griffiths, teacher, acted as referee, and the linesmen were Messrs. Wm. and Geo. Davies. Three goals were scored by the "black and whites, mainly through clever play bv their forwards. The 'Reds' had to be content with one goal. The Wanderers' first match proper will be against Mardy Albions on Saturday next, when a strong team will be available for last year's cup-winners. o o o There is no likelihood of the Jubilee Rovers' team being re-started at Godre- aman. Two of their best players, 'Stosh' Richards and Cunnick, have thrown in I their lot with the Cwmbach Crescents. The Aberaman C.L. Brigade will be up in arms this season as usual. o o o The Aberaman Windsors held their trial match on Saturday afternoon at Michael's field. The teams, termed Pro- bables and Possibles, consisted of last year's players for the Windsors, also members of the Aberdare Reserves team and the Aberaman C.L. Brigade, and several other outside players.' After a keen game, which was refereed by Mr. D. Tom Williams, the Probables won by 3 goals to 1. For the winners the scorers were: David Bowen, Hulme (who showed champion form) and Burrows. Sherwood was the scorer for the Possi- bles. The Windsors have arranged home and home fixtures with Pontypridd Y.M.C.A. and Hirwain, but have a few more vacant dates for friendly matches. The secretary, D. J. Jenkins, Holford- street, would be glad to hear from the sees. of other clubs.
