MR. LLOYD GEORGE'SI RETURN.
MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S I RETURN. SCENES IN CARNARVON, Animated street scenes were witnessed at Carnarvon on Saturday on the occasion of the polling, for Carnarvon Boroughs, Mr Lloyd George's constituency. Early in the evening trains from the outlying districts hrought many hundreds of young quarrymen to the; town, and they remain- ed practically in possession until mid- night. Their conduct on the whole was not aggresisive, although at one stage there were elements of disturbance. A crowd marched in procession and began to com- mand licence holders to put out their lights. At one hotel they were met with a refusal, and as they persisted in their de- mand the Mayor ascended the balcony of the hotel and remonstrated with the peo- ple. Ultimately the Mayor's appeal pre- vailed and the crowd moved away. Im- mediately after this another crowd march- ed to the police station and broke several panes of glass. One stone hit a, police ser- geant in the face. Inside the police station were police reserves, and their appearance caused the crowd to retire. Persons wearing the Conservative colours were subjected to much hustling, and a suffragette who had during the day been distributing) leaflets had to be escorted by the police to a place of safety. The polling at Conway and Deganwy proceeded without unusual incident, and both sides worked hard and polled every available man. Both sides were well sup- plied with vehicles. Sir Herbert Roberts sent his motor-car, and also visit- ed Conway himself in the course of the forenoon, being heartily welcomed by the Liberal workers. Among others who lent vehicles to the Liberals were Mr E'. Lloyd Jones, of Liverpool; Mrs Walker, of Llandudno; Dr. M. J. Morgan, Lady M'Laren, of Bodnant; and Mr Thomas Hughes, Bryn Morfa. The weather was mild but humid and at times; rainy, and the roads were in a very muddy state. Just before eight o'clock news came from the Liberal committee-room that every Liberal voter had visited the polling booth with the exception of some men who were working in Dublin. They were expected home before the end of the week, but the job on which they were engaged had been delayed owng to the wet weather. They were hoping to be able to come home for the week-end, and carriages were sent to the Conway station to meet the 7 44 train in order to hurry them up to the Guild- hall a,nd enable them to exercise the franchise. Unfortunately they did not come, and the only conclusion the Liberal workers could come to was that they had failed to get permission to come home for the week-end in view of the small propor- tion of the work which remained to be. done. At Deganwy there' were several motor- cars at the disposal of both parties one or two of the cars were gaily decorated with party colours. Great interest seem- ed to be taken in the election, and cheer- ing for the respective sides was frequent- ly heard. Throughout, however, there was excellent humour displayed. A special train left Ll/ancluclno Junc- tion at half-past eight o'clock for Carnar- von. and at twenty minutes past eight Mr Hugh Parry, the presiding officer at De- ganwy, arrived at the Junction, accom- panied by a police constable bearing the ballot box. The Conway box was picked up en route. For the special a, long train was run, which was used as a, special train from Carnarvon for public use after the declaration of the poll in the county town. Thus electors and their friends in Conway and neighbourhood had the op- portunity of going over to Carnarvon for the declaration, and when the train de- parted about half-past eleven o'clock it carried a large number of passengers for Bangor, Conway, and other stations. A vast crowd congregated in Lancaster Square, Conway, to await the coming of the news from Carnarvon, and, with a view to possible disorder, the Deputy Chief Constable (Mr W. Rees) had brought in a number of extra police offi- cers. At a little after half-past eleven telephonic news came that Mr Lloyd George was elected. There was a scene of great enthusiasm, but the people waited on for the teljegram from the post-office which would convey the exact figures anl make the result beyond doubt. This came just before midnight, and the message was read from the steps of the police station by Mr T. C. Lewis, a leading Liberal, who advised that everybody should then go quietly home. COUNTING OF THE VOTES. The ballot boxes from the outlying boroughs were brought to Carnarvon by half-past nine o'clock, and the counting of the votes proceeded forthwith. Mr Lloyd- George reached the counting-room an hour later, and the declaration took place at a quarter past eleven. For three- quarters of an hour before that the street on both sides of the Guildhall archway was packed with a isinging crowd. When the Mayor appeared on the balcony the hubbub, below was so great that his re- peated attempts toL make known the figures were ineffectual. Before leaving the counting room Mr Lloyd George moved a vote of thanks to the returning officer for the very efficient manner in wbjiich the election had been conducted. He also expressed his appecia- tion of the good temper shown in the con- test, and of the honourable manner in which his opponent had carried on the campaign. Mr Wi. Ll. Griffith, the Conservative agent, seconded the vote of thanks. After the declaration of the poll Mr Lloyd George's car was quickly surround- ed by a vast cheering crowd, whose, en- thusiasm made it impossible for him to deliver more than a few fragmentary words of thanks. Twenty years ago, he said, he was thanking them for giving him a majority of 18, but the times had improved wonderfully since then. He was proud to have taken part once more in the great figiht for the righteous cause to

SOME POSTAL STATISTICS. Statistics of all kinds are: always well to the front in the last month of the year, and Mr .Hjolt contributes to the lavishly illustrated Christmas double number of the "Windsor Magazine" an interesting article on "Our Letters," which contains much matter as specially appropriate to the season of much extra posting. In the course of it Mr Schooling says — "Of all the valuable and interesting offi- cial reports issued by the various Govern- mental Departments of this country, per- haps no report relates more closely to our social and commercial life and activities than that of the Postmaster-General. Moreover, Lhis member of the Cabinet is, as regards his office, outside of political warfare, and thus his reports are wholly free from the almost unavoidable bias that has, in some notable instances, deprived certain other official reports of some of -their value. "The Postmaster's current report en- ables us to form an idea of the gigantic amount of work done by the Post Office. For instance, the number of postal packets delivered in the United Kingdom during the year ended March 31st, 1909, was 5,035,000,000, or an average number for each person of 112. "The mind is wholly unahe, to realize the meaning of this vast number of postal packets delivered in the United Kingdom by our postmen in one year-only. "Comprehension may be aided by stat- ing that if one man had to sort these let- ters, etc., working at the rate of sixty per minute-quick work—he would have had to begin nearly one hundred and sixty years ago, in the reign of George II., be- fore the conquest of India, began under Lord dive, in order to complete his task by the year 1910, working day and night without stopping."

C,ONWAY OPINION.
C,ONWAY OPINION. Week after week opinions like the fol- lowing are voiced in these columns. What better endorsement could there be? This week we have to thank Mrs R. Jones, who lives at Bronreyror, Conway, for the, statements she has kindly author- ised us to publish; we feel sure it will prove both interesting and helpful to many. "I had been suffering for some time with kidney complaint, and the usual accompanying symptoms of this distressing malady," says Mrs Jones. "I had pains across the back and loins which sometimes quite prostrated me, I was tired and weary, and my work became a burden. I was nervous and depressed; my heart would palpita,t,e rapidly and then seem to stop. I had urinary troubles, and the secretions scalded when passing. I was getting into a very bad state; I tried numerous remedies, but without receiving any help. "Seeing an announcement of Doan's backache kidney pills I made up my mind to try them. I had not taken more than half a box of the piUs when I felt bene- fitted the pains in my back became easier, and the .swellings in my limbs went down. I persevered with Doan's pills, and I am glad-to say my health generally is improved. I shall always recommend Doan's balckache kidney pills. (Signed) Rebecca Jones." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of alii chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Fbster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mrs Jones had.

BANGOR COUNTY COURT. .-------
BANGOR COUNTY COURT. APPLICATION FOR, DISCHARGE. On Monday before Judge Neass, Robert Flint, formerly licensee of the Lome, Hotel, Rhyl, applied for his discharge in bankruptcy. The applicant became bank- rupt in 1909 with liabilities expected to rank amounting to £ 1,210. A dividend of 3s. 7d. in the pound had been paid. The Official Receiver said the bankrupt start- ed at the Lome Hotel in an insolvent condition. The debtor said he wanted his discharge because he wanted to get a situation. He was not in a position to make alny offer and had no prospect of doing so. The Official Receiver objected that the bankrupt had not sufficient assets to pay 10s. in the pound. The order ask- ed for was granted but suspended for two years. A DRAPER-S FAILURE1. Mr M. EL Nee applied for an order dis- charging D. Jones, formerly a draper at Carnarvon. Replying: to the Official Receiver, the debtor said his father gave him a, sum of £ 400' before he (the. debtor) made a deed of assignment, and in addition lent him another sum of C400. His father was a farmer- In addition he ha,d about JE500 from his mother. He was at present travelling, and had been for about fifteen years. He made from 20s. to 30s. a, week. He was a wiclowe,r and had five children, but only one of them was dependent on him. What do you want your discharge for ? —Because, not haiving a people do not like to let me have £ 50; or £:50 worth of samples without a, guarantee. Replying to Mr Nee, the debtor said he had only been able to get situations on commission, and competition wa,s very keen. It would pay him better if he got a permanent job, in a big house. He was 53 years of age. He had fai/iecl because, having given U £ 700 worth of debts to a collector to collect, he ha,d failed to get either money or account, and he filed a petition in order to get the Official Re- ceiver to assist him in realising his estate. That happened fifteen years ago. The Official Receiver: But those debts were assigned to the trustees of your pre- vious composition then, to pay J 13s. 4d. in the pound, were not they Therefore the Official Receiver had no chance of realising had he?—No. Mr Nee said the Official Receiver re- ported that the debtor had not enough to pay 10s. in the pound, had not kept pro- per boobs of account, and that there had been a previous arrangement with creditors. With regard to the latter ob- jection the debtor had paid 13s. 4d. in the pound about twenty years ago. As to the other counts the debtor had a lot of book debts which he faled to realise, otherwise he would have been able to pay his creditors. The debtor now was of middle age and afflicted with rheumatism, and tramelled by his bankruptcy could ,only take situations 011 commission, but he thought he could get a permanent situation if he got his discharge. The trouble had been hanging over him for 15 years. His Honour made the order asked for, but suspended it for two years. A COMPENSATION CLAIM. William Thomas Wilii:Jams( miner, Ban- gor, claimed under the Workmen's Com- pensation Act, against William Parry, builder, Bangor, in respect of injuries sustained by a fall of rock while in the respondent's service. Mr Parry admitted liability and had. paid the applicant's wages in full to the end of September, and also the charges of the Infirmary at which Williams was treated. He had offered Williams light employment at full wageis, which the claimant had declined. Dris. Lloyd and Locke, hon. consulting physician and house surgeon respectively, who had treated Williams, said that in their opinion the claimant's injuries were perfectly healed and formed no impedi- ment to the work offered to him. Mr Thornton Jones appeared for the claimant and Mr Pentir Williams for the ¡ respondent. After a long hearing, Honour1 found that the complainant was able to do the work offered him on the 1st October, that he was now fit to do his own work, and ordered the respondent's liability to be re- gistered in case any subsequent disability occurred as the result of "the accident each party to pay their own costs. j

TWM O'R NANT. I
TWM O'R NANT. I SOCIAL REFORM ERi OF THE; EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. "Twm o'r Nant" was the subject of a lecture given by the R,ev. D. D. Williams on Friday evening before the Manchester Welsh National, Society. The eighteenth century, the period in which Twm or Nant lived, produced, Mr Williams said, some great poets in Wales. The period was characterised by four great movements—the litierary mvakening; a religious revival; the establishment of a number of literary socieites, such as the Cymmrodorion; and a political revival, starting in France, but soon developing into a world movement. The influence of the literary awakening was traceable more amongst the clergy and nobility than the common people; it was the second movement, the religious revivali, which influenced them, and the sympathies of Twm o'r Nant were all on the, side of the masses. File desired to be known as a, social reformer, and it is on record that he onc.e requested his friend, the Rleiv. Thomas Charles, Baja, to look after the "sheep" whilst he would look after the 'wolves" and it was in this light that Twm's history as a. social reformer was to be understood. The lecturer mentioned that there are two classes of poets which influence an author. The first is that class of greater poets who form a, sort of literary atmos- phere, and give character to a. period; and the other class, a less prominent one, include those who influence an author through coming in close personal contact with him. The two classes must be con- sidered in studying the history of Twin o'r Na.nt. To the former class belonged Lewis Morris, Goronwy Owen, and others to the latter Jonathan Huws, Ellis y Cowper, and those, includecl in the Llan- fairtaihaearn zone. Little was known of the history of Twm o r Nant; there, were traditions concern- ing him, but few solid facts. The sources of his life were his autobiography, his poetical works, and the history of the period. The most import,a,nt of his works were his "Interludes." Thev were valua- ble on account of the true poetry found in parts of them, and they were more valuable still as a means to give us an insight into the period in which the poet lived. Next in importance to the "Inter- ludes" came the "Cerdcli." The "Cerdd" in Wales carried out at this period the functions of the modern newspaper. The, lecturer read selections from the "Inter- ludes" and the "Cerddi." Twm o'r Nant, said the lecturer, has made himself a piace in W' "cli literature. His range of vision was somewhat narrow he came into contact with one section of .Welsh life. He had his serious limita- tions, and undoubtedly he has been over- estimated. To call him the "Shakspere of the Cymry" is a case of zeal, but not after knowledge. The comparison is unreason- able, and betrays ignorance. If he must be compared to an English poet, Samuel Butler, the author of "Huclibras," would be more to the point, although this com- parison must not be carried too far. In accounting for the' moral and religious change that has come over Whales during the last hundred years a place must be allowed for Twm o'r Nant. It was not his lot to prophecy smooth things to his fel- low-countrymen, but to call their atten- ton to their weak points with a view of weaning them from them. The meet ng was well attended, and was presided over by Dr. Ehrrys Jones.
WHERE ALL OUR LETTERS GO!
WHERE ALL OUR LETTERS GO! Statistics of a,ll kinds are always well to the front in the last month of the year, and Mr Holt Schooling contributes to the lavishly illustrated Christmas double number of the "Windsor Magazine" an in- teresting article on "Our 'Letters," which contains much matter as specially appro- priate to the season of much extra, posting. In course of it Mr Schooling says: "The United States receive more of our l,eit,te,rs and postcards than are received by any other one nation. Rather more than 13 per 100 of our letters are despatched to the United States; and the countries to which most of our letters are sent are the United States, France, Germany, Canada and Newfoundland, India, South African Colonies, Australia, Holland and Bel- gium. These nine countries receive, in all, nearly three-quarters of all the letters and post-cards we send out of the United Kingdom. "Some countries that receive fewest let- ters from us are Asiatic Turkey, Persia, Mexico, Central America States, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela. "In a list of the countries that send most letters to us the United States again head the list, and they send to us more than 16 of every 100 letters we receive from over the sea,. "Countries that send to us more letters than we send toj them are the United States and Germany. And we send to France, Canada, India, South Africa, Australia, Holland, Belgium, more letters than those countries respectively send to us. "The foregoing international results re- late only to letters and post-cards. If we include, in addition, the weight of the circulars, book-packets, patterns, and newspapers which we despatch and re- ceive, the preceding totals are vastly in- creased. "Thus, when all postal, packets are, in- cluded, America is at the head of the, con- tinents to which we despatch these packets. Europe comes second, in place of holding the first place, as when only letters and post-cards are considered."
