Unionist Borough Candidate Criticised by First Lord of Admiralty In House of Commons. In the House of Commons on Wednesday of last week, Mr McKenna (First Lord of the Admiralty), questioned by Capt Faber (U., Andover), with reference to the letter written by Captain Bacon to the First Sea Lord and the footnote appended thereto, said the letter had not been made public, although parts of it had lately appeared in certain newspapers. The letter was printed as an ordinary and convenient means of record for information three years ago of the then First Lord (Lord Tweedmouth). Twenty-five copies of the letter were printed. No information was ob- tainable as to any person to whom copies were shown. Unfortunately, a copy must have got out somehow, or Sir George Arm- strong could not have seen it. It could only have occurred by one of the grossest breaches of confidence. There was no blame attaching to Captain Bacon, and the proceedings of the Board three years ago were perfectly proper. Mr Meysey Thompson (U., Handsworth) asked if subordinate officers in the Navy had been making reports about their superior officers analogous to those submitted by Captain Bacon to the First Sea Lord. Mr McKenna: No such reports had been made. Mr Bellairs (R., Lynn Regis) asked whether the right hon. gentleman had ascertained how a printed copy of the letter came into the possession of Sir George Armstrong (Unionist Candidate for Pembrokeshire and Haverfordwest Boroughs). Mr McKenna I have already that a copy could only have been obtained by Sir George Armstrong by a breach pf confidence. Mr Bellairs Is that a reflection upon the person who sent the letter out or upon Sir George Armstrong for its puplication Mr Mc'Kenna: I think it is a reflection upon both (cheers). ol —

Sir Marchant Williams and the Welsh Revival. About six hundred students and teachers who attended the Welsh grammar classes held at Swansea last winter were on Saturday entertained at Dyfatty Council School. Sir Marchant Williams said that Welsh was holding its ground, and in the future there would be no need for Welshmen to bend t heir knees before the English. He thought that every Welshman ought to be proud of t his nationality. He exhorted them to learn Welsh for the sake of its literature,

Opening Services. Bethesda.—The new home of this thriving English Baptist "causa" is now rapidly ap- proaching completion, and it has been decided to hold the opening services on Sunday and Monday, the 23rd and 24th inst., when the pul- pit will be occupied al'ernatively by Principal Edwards, D.D., of the -Cardiff Baptist College, and the Rev. W R Lewis, of Carmel and Gelly. The hours of service will be 10.30 a.m., 2.30 and 6.30 p.m. on the former, and 7 p.m. on the latter date. On Monday a Welsh service will also be held at Goedwig, the parent church, at 1 o'clock, the preacher being the Rev. J D Hughes, of Blaenwaun. Continuation services will be held on the five following Sundays, when well-known ministers will officiate.-Advt will be held on the five following Sundays, when well-known ministers will officiate.-Advt

Sessions.— Various cases of local interest which were heard at Mathry Petty Sessions on Friday afternoon will be found reported elsewhere in this issue.—Details of the ar- rangements for the creation of a new local Division are classified with the Fishgnard news. Tale of a Taxi.—Particulars of patronage of the Rosslare route by a record-breaking taxicab will be found in another column. The Cross-Channel Route.—In the time- table of the Great Western Railway Company for May and June a new map has been inser- ted, in which the South Wales district appears to much better advantage than it did in the old. The drawing is more accur- ate and a good deal of additional detail is given. This is as it ought to be, seeing that, on account of the new Fishguard route, all eyes are now turned in this direction. Inci- dentally, it may be mentioned that one of the changes effected in the new map is the reduction of the distance between Fishguard and Ireland. Instead of being 62 miles to Rosslare it is now only 54, and Waterford is no longer 106 miles from the new port, but 92 miles. Similarly, there is a reduction in the mileage to cork from 160 to 140. Of course, everybody knows that the new route of the G.W.R. brings Erin nearer Gwalia,- but perhaps no one would have suspected that the actual measured distance across St George's Channel was capable of such a startling reduction. The explanation is simple. The larger figure represents the distance in statute and the smaller the dis- tance in nautical miles. Goedwig.—Anniversary services will be held at Goedwig Chapel on Sunday and Monday evening next. The special preachers will be the Rev. W S Jones, Llwynypia, and the Rev. D J Evans, Newport. Collections will be taken at each service in aid of the building fund. Station Staff— Mr N P Mansfield, Deputy Superintendent, is this week taking the day duty instead of his superior, Mr C Bowen. The latter expects to move to his new home the week after next. Time Table.—Commencing with the pres- ent month the train service between the Har- bour, Milford Haven, Ne) laud, Tenby, and intermediate stations has been considerably improved. Passengers should familiarise themselves with the altered times, which necessarily affect the journey between the Harbour and Goodwick. Spring Blossom.-Lilac is blooming in pro- fusion upon the Quay road, where numerous other blossoms, and wild flowers are now to be seen. Distinguished Passengers.— Lord and Lady Castletown and the Marquis of Ormonde arrived from Rosslare aboard the St Andrew' on Monday afternoon, and proceeded by the Boat Express to London. Turbine Tattle.—The St Patrick," which has been undergoing her annual survey at Birkenhead is expected back very shortly. The St George has been laying up for the past ten days for the purpose of boiler-clean- ing, with the result that the service has had- to be maintained unaided by the St Andrew and the St David.' As soon as the St George is replaced in commission she will relieve the ':t David,' whose internal econ- omy will next receive the attention of the overhauling staff. Runaway.—On the 4th instant, whilst a pony-cart beloning to Mr Davies, grocer, was being loaded at the brick works, the pony took fright for some unexplained cause, and bolted in the direction of Goodvilck. After passing under the bridge it was met by Mr George Phillips, a caller-out in the goods department, who was walking along the street with his little girl, He promptly jumped on to the pony, caught it by the mane and succeeded in bringing it to a stand- still. Mr Phillips, who was formerly a mem- ber of the Pembrokeshire Constabalarly, on a previous occasion stopped a runaway cart in Tenby in similar fashion, Personal,- The Vicar (Rev E Lincoln Lewis) has returned, and on Sunday evening preached a powerful discourse in St Peter's Church. Mrs Lewis is, we are pleased to be able to state, making satisfactory progress towards recovery, and is expected to arrive home next week, G.W.R. Literature.—The G.W.R. Company has just issued an attractive little brochure containing information for ocean passengers landing at Plymouth, Bristol, Liverpool, and Queenstown. The work contains in concise form general information, time tables, and maps demonstrating the unrivalled facilities offered by the company's system for egress from any of these ports to all parts of the United Kingdom, special attention being devoted to the advantages to be derived by those disembarking at Queenstovvn who cross the channel by the Rosslare-Fishguard route. Thespian Tattle.—Qn Sunday morning the d'Oyley Carte Opera Company, numbering some three score persons, will arrive from Cork by the 3.10 a.m. Rosslare boat, and will depart at 7.30 a.m. per special train for Bristol. Four large trucks will be utilised for the transport of scenery and stage proper- ties. Quay Extension. This work has now reached the sixteenth tier of concrete blocks beyond the buttress built against the old ex- tremity of the sea wall. On Monday no less than four divers were engaged upon the foun dations, both the steam crane on the new wall and the steam dredger Porteut "-with its grab attachment—standing by to render such assistance as might be required. The Property Market,—On Tuesday after- noon, at the Glendower Hotel, Mr W R Carver, (Fishguard) offered for sale a newly- erected private dwelling-house, with out buildings, yard and gardens, situate below the road leading off Goodwick hill above St Peter's Church, having a frontage of 53ft 6in. and depths of 88ft and 83 feet on the north and south respectively, the site being suffic- iently extension to permit of further building if desired by the purchaser. There was a a large attendance at the sale, and the bid- ding was of a spirited character, but fell slightly short of the reserve price. The lot was accordingly withdrawn, but there is was accordingly withdrawn, but there is every probability that it will be disposed of by private treaty in the course of a short time. Mr Walter J Vaughan, (Fishguard), acted as solicitor for the vendors. Assessment.—As will be seen from a report which appears on the fourth page of the pre- sent issue the County Council has decided to recoup its somewhat depleted exchequer by raising the assessment of the parish of Llanwnda, which includes Goodwick, Dyffryn, aY:"1d Harbour Village. It is to be feared that the statement that this step is merely placing the parish on a level with the rest of the county will scarcely suffice to palliate the increase in the eyes of those who will be pallet upon to pay the piper. ->

Welsh Baptist Union, The annual meetings of the Baptist Union of Wales were opened at Watergate (Welsh) Baptist Church, Brecon, on Monday. In the afternoon the Executive Committee met under the presidency of the Rev. T E Will- iams, Newtown, vice-president of the Union, and in the evening a public meeting, presided over by Principal T F Roberts, M.A., Aber- ystwyth, ex-president of the Union, was held, and addresses were delivered by the follow- ing:—Rev. C Davies, Cardiff, on "Distinctive Baptist Principles Rev. E Thomas, Pem- broke, Sabbath Observance and Rev. T C Davies, LlanhiHethl" How to rptain the interest of young people in church work." J +

MARRIAGES. On the 6th instant, by license at the Registrar's Office, Cardigan, by the Stiperiti- tendent Registrar, in the presence of tne Registrar of marriages, Capt. T J Davies, Princess Villa, St. Dogmaels, to Miss E Morris, Cwmwiutell, LeUerstou.

I Fishguard and Goodwick I Education Authority GOODWICK'S NEW SCHOOL. A meeting of the managers of Gronp N'll of Council Schools was held at the Council School, Llanwnda, on Friday, there being present Mr T James (chairman), Dr. Williams (Drim), Messrs J C Bowen and W L Williams. C.C., the Head Teacher of Henner (Mr E Anthony), the Attendance Officer (Mr D W Lewis) and the Deputy Clerk (R E Williams). Mr T James proposed, Mr J C Bowen secon- ded, and it was agreed that Mr W L Williams be chairman for the ensuing year. Dr. Williams was proposed and seconded as Vice-chairman, but declined- the honour and proposed Mr J C Bowen. This was seconded by Mr T James and carried. Mr W L Williams proposed and Dr. Williams seconded, a vote of thanks to the retiring chairman for his services during the past year, stating that he had discharged his duties to the satisfaction of all. This was carried unanimously, Mr James briefly res- ponding. The Clerk read a letter, dated 28th April, from Mr D W Lewis, asking the managers to appoint two superintendents for an examina- tion to be held in building construction at the County School on May 8th. It was pro- posed, seconded and agreed that Messrs L Evans, W James, T Lewis and W L Williams arrange among themselves to have two ready to superintend the same. I The Clerk read a letter, dated 30th April, from the Clerk to the Education Committee enclosing 24 copies of public notice concern- ing the new school at Goodwick and reques- ting the Clerk to have them posted up througnout the district. Dr Williams pro- posed, and Mr T James seconded, that, since there were 308 children on the books at Llan- wnda school already and other children in private schools at Goodwick, the proposed new school at Goodwick should be built to accommodate at least 350 children, and should be constructed in such a manner that it could be easily enlarged, and that the Managers feel so strongly in the matter that they have decided to send a deputation to appear before the Education Authority at their next meeting. This was agreed to and it was decided that Messrs T James and J C Bowen form the deputation to go before the next meeting of lhe Authority. Mr W L Williams proposed, lr J C Bowen seconded, and it was agreed that Fishguard parish be excluded from the area covered by the new school to be erected at Goodwick. Mr W L Williams proposed, Dr. Williams seconded, and it was agreed that, in view of the present overcrowded state of Llanwnda School, the Managers earnestly request that the Director be asked to come up to the School to meet ths local Managers and Head Teacher to see the present state of things, so that he could report to the next meeting of the Building Committee with referenee to the erection of a temporary building there. Mr T James proposed, Dr. Williams second- ed, and it was agreed that the Managers con- gratulate the Head Teacher of Henner on the grand success of his May Day celebration. To this Mr Anthony responded. The Attendance Officer's Report read as follows :—Average number on books Fish- guard School 283, average attendance 245, percentage 87; Henner School 292, average attendance 261.5, percentage 89.4. Mr J C Bowen proposed, Mr T James seconded, and it was agreed that both Schools be closed over Whitsun on Monday May 31st, and Tuesday June 1st.

Motor Fatality at Whitland A" the motor-car of Mr W T S Tombs solici- tor, Fishguard, was being driven on Saturday at a slow speed down through North-street, Whitland, a girl, about seven years of age, named Mary Rees, youngest daughter of Mr J Rees, railway district relief man, who until recently resided at Carmarthen, came out of the house and attempted to cross the street. Not noticing the silent approach of the car, she was knocked down, breaking her left arm, and sus- taining internal injuries. None of the wheels passed over the body. To the credit of the chaffeur (who has been driving for the past seven years without a mishap), it should be said that he brought the car to a standstill in its own length. Dr. J T Cresswick Williams was soon in attendance, but the child died in the evening, after lingering for three hours. Mr Tombs, who was net in the car at the time of the tragic occurrence, has done all that lays in his power to aid and comfcrt Mr and Mrs Rees in their terrible bereavement. Mr T Walters, coroner, held an inquest into the circumstances on Tuesday. The evidence was that the chaffeur was not at fault, and he was exonerated from blame, a verdict of acci- dental death being returned.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We wish it to be clearly understood that we do not in any way hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed in correspond- ence appearing under the above heading.— ED.

An Insult to Wales and Welsh- men. To the Editor of County Echo." Sir,—In a recent issue, under the above heading, there appeared a letter by Welsh- man strongly condemning the actions of a certain person anent some insults published in a Fishguard paper regarding one of our late esteemed Welsh political leaders, and also his utterances in public of most unbecom- ing and unchristianlike language with re- ference to a recently elected urban councillor. To my mind, and also from general observat- tion of this quackish" affair, his action is one of those irresponsible ones, as no man with a grain of respect for the Welsh as a nation and its language would be guilty of committing such a low and cowardly act as this. An old but true adage goes-" Knows nothing, fears nothing," and this, without a doubt, is very applicable in the present case. His masterpiece (?) as a writer may be said to be a conglomeration of extraneous meta- phors of ihe common gutter species." Be it Known to this would-be knight of the pen that his actions merit not the confidence of the Welshmen of Fishguard, among whom, as a last resource, he has been obliged to settle and seek his livelihood, and to whom he also looks forward for his future means of subsistence.—Yours truly, CYMRO ARALL,

Fishguard Official Guide. To the Editor of the County Echo." Sir,—Kindly permit me through the medium of your columns to express my deep indeb- tedness to all who have assisted me ill the compilation of the letterpress of the new guide to Fishguard and Goodwick, which is being issued under the authority of the Urban Council of the former town, particu- larly to Mr A J Hodges (Clerk to the Coun- cil), to Mr T H Evans (late of Tyrhos, now of The Randt), and to Mr T Lewis (of the Square); also to the Revs J D Symmonds, W Morlais Davies, and D P David. It is a matter of deep regret to me that the limited scope of the guide has rendered it utterly impossible to incorporate therein much of the interesting data with which I have been furnished, and I especially lament the fact that the publishers have been unable to find space for thp very valuable geological and historical material so carefully and gen- erously compiled by Mr T H Evans. Justice to the present publishers—who have gone out of their way to produce a more comprehensive "vyork tfian was originally con- templated—demands that they shall be affor- ded an open held to recoup themselves, but the experience ,which I have gained whilst engaged upon the task has convinced me that the locality affords scope for the compilation of a work upon a far more ambitious-and consequently more expensive-scale, and I trust that, in a few years' time, some effort to produce such a volume may be forthcoming The present volume is now virtually ready for publication. The proofs have been read, and all that is requisite ere going to Press is the formal sanction of the Council, which will not, I hope, be long delayed.—Yours,&c., S. H.

Alleged Assault Upon a Constable. Goodwick Man's Allegations. The Case Adjourned for Further Evidence. At Dewsland Petty Sessions, held at Mathry on Friday afternoon, Mr Charles Mathias presiding, Matthew Tynan, of Main Street, Goodwick, was summoned for having assaul- ted Constable Childs whilst in the execution of his duty. The Constable stated that, at 9.30 p.m. on the ioth ult., whilst he was crossing the rail- way bridge at Goodwick, the defendant stepped out and struck him a violent blow in the left ribs, saying I've' got you at last, Evans." Witness asked him why he had struck him, and defendant replied Why didn't you keep back the crowd?" Witness asked What crowd," and three men who were standing by said That's Childs, not Evans. Childs wasn't there at all." Defen- dant afterwards followed witness for a short distance, and asked him if he were a police- man or a pugilist, adding that he could 13 Z3 have it" if he liked. In reply to Supt. Rees Brinn, witness said there had been a disturbance earlier in the evening, and Sergt. Lewis and Constable I Evans-to whom the defendant had referred, had gone to Fishguard in charge of a pris- oner. Defendant proceeded to cross-examine wit- ness, but, owing to the fact that he stood with his back to the Press and spoke with a strong Irish brogue, it was practically impossible to hear what he said. In reply to one question, the Constable said there was a married woman passing at the time, but he had nothing to do with her, nor she with him. Defendant elected to give evidence on his own behalf and, still speaking very indis- tinctly, said he was going over the bridge at Goodwick upon a little private business, when, whilst passing through the village, he observed a young fellow who was lodging with him, who appeared to be a bit drunk and noisy. Sergt. Lewis and Constable Evans were standing by. Witness went and asked the young fellow to come home and not make a fool of himself. There were four or five other persons there at the time. Witness took the young man by force to within fifty yards of where he was living. Fifty hooligans fol- lowed, and witness said Sergeant, they're inciting the chap to a breach of the peace." Witness had brought the man to the bunga- lows, when he was struck from behind, and somebody also struck the man. Another I young man struck witness under the heart, and witness knocked him flat, whereupon a I crowd of ten or twelve came right on top of him. When he mistook Childs for Evans he was going to tell the latter that he was a mean thing, but Childs threatened him, and I witness said he would see the Superintendent and find out if he were a policeman or a LII"L I I I pugilist. He denied that he struck the officer. He added that lie had three or four witnesses as to what had occurred, but, not being able to work lately, could not afford to subpoen them. In reply to the Clerk (Mr R T P Williams), defendant denied having struck the officer, who ordered him into the house, and threat- ened to summon him for being drunk if he did not go. He told witness' wife to keep him in the house. The Constable was drunk. at the time. Cross-examined by the Superintendent, de- fendant admitted that he had felt annoyed because the police did not perform their duty and that he had mistaken Childs for Evans. He admitted that the Constables removed a man who struck him, but asked why they had not done so previously. He denied that he had sought any revenge, or that he struck Constable Childs a blow. He had not asked his three friends to come there that day he was quite sure that they would not come, be- cause they were afraid. The Constable, in reply to the Clerk, said he had seen nothing of the previous row when he came in sight the crowd had gone. Answering the Superintendent, he said the assault took place nearly an hour after the disturbance. Defendant enquired how he knew that. Witness replied that he knew it by the time when the Sergeant and the Constable took the prisoner to Fishguard. The Superintendent explained that the arrest took place at 8.30 p,m„ and the alleged assault at 9.30. The Chairman asked if defendant would like to have the case adjourned, so that he could bring witnesses. Defendant replied in the affirmative, and the hearing was accordingly adjourned until next sesaiens, which will be held on the 4th prox. Subsequently, in reply to the Clerk, defen- dant said he had resided in Goodwick for seven years. He was a married man and lived in a cottage-not a hut. In reply to the Superintendent, he reitera- ted his allegation that Constable Childs was drunk. Asked why he did not complain, he said he had gone over to Fishguard one night to do so, but had been too late. Ques- tioned as to what was the time on that occa- sion, he replied that it was eleven o'clock. The Superintendent remarked that it would not have been too late if he had come at two in the morning. In reply to the Clerk, he said he had com- plained to the Sergeant, Answering the Superintendent he said that that had been since the occurrence in ques- tion he had not done so previously. The subject then dropped.

County Council Contest. Mr. Walter L. Williams' Position. Proposed Additional Fishgnard Member. As yet it is a far cry to the triennial election of the Pembrokeshire County Council, but already the subject is engaging public atten- tion in many quarters, and Mr Walter L Williams, C,C., of Cefnydre, has written to Mr D Gwion Thomas (secretary of the Fish. guard Liberal Association) as follows :— Cefnydre, Fishguard, May 6th; 1909. Dear Mr. Thomas,—You will remember that prior to the last County Council Election I intimated my wish—in consequence of pressure of work—not to contest the seat for the Fishguard Division. The Liberal Associ- ation however, pressed me to reconsider the matter and deputed several influential gentle- men to interview me. Their representation of the position of affairs (you will know what this means) resulted in my again being the adoped Candidate, but not without my making it quite clear that it would be im- possible for me to devote as much time to the duties of the office as formerly if elected. The campaign proved successful and two out of the three years' term of office have already expired. During this period I have felt very acutely, that I have not been able to. do. justice to my position as County Councillor, aiid I feel compelled to definitely and officially inform you that I shall not consent to my nomination as a Candidate at the next Election. It is with much regret that I make this announcement and I consider it is non too early to do, so, in order that you may take the necessary steps to secure the nomin- ation of another Candidate. I am fully alive to and warmly appreciate the confidence Fishguard Electors have reposed in me in past years. This constituency is steadily in- creasing in importance in the County, and before it can be justly represented its member ought to be able to devote almost one half of his time to the work. Believe me, yours faithfully, WALTER L. WILLIAMS. Mr. D. G. Thomas, Fishguard. Mr Thomas will call a meeting of the Association at an early date, when the question of selecting a candidate wi,ll doubt- less come up for consideration,. We understand that, at the next meeting of the Urban Council, notice will figure upon the agenda of a motion to the effect that t, 0 .1 application he made to the County Council I to apportion an additional member to the Urban area, whose population has latterly in- creased so rapidly that there can exist little,' if any, doubt that it now aggregates the requisite three thousand inhabitants. mz iu

Promotion.—We have to congratulate Mr F Farr upon his promotion as master of the s.s. Lizzie English,' which is owned by Py- man Brothers, of London. Drought.—Whilst the man in the street is congratulating himself upon the protracted spell of fine weather which he is enjoying the members of the agricultural community are bitterly lamenting the drought which is serving to retard the progress of their crops quite as effectually as did the continuous rains which preceded it. The fact that the quail has been heard in the disdrict is, how- ever regarded as indicative of the continuance of the prevalent climatic conditions. Personal — Mrs Hill, eldest daughter of Aid G B Bowen, J.P., who resided at the Castle during the festivities associated with the recent wedding of her sister, has since spent a fortnight under the paternal roof at Llwyngwair, whence she departed for her home at Winterbourne Park to-day (Wed- nesday).—Reference to Ald.

Re-Opening of Rflamre Chapel, Trecwn. The re-opening services of this place of worship were held on Tuesday and Wednes- day of last week, when large congregations attended throughout. The. first meeting was held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, when the Rev. M P Morgans, Blaenanerch, preached. At 10 a.m. on Wednesday the Rev E J Herbert in- troduced the service and the Rev Thomas Lamb and the Rev. M P Morgans success- ively occupied the pulpit, whilst at 2 p.m., after an introduction by the Rev. D P David, Fishguard, the Rev. George Morgans and the Rev. W D Rowlands, Carmarthen, delivered discourses, and at 6 p.m. the Rev. R Thomas, Woodstock, and Rev. MP Morgans preached. The congregation on Wednesday proved to be too large for the building, and a stage which had been erected was resorted to in a field which had been kindly lent by the Rev. H Miles, rector of Llanstinan, who also enter- tained some of the ministers. The collec- tions throughout were good, and a consider- able sum was realised. The ministry was powerful, and good fruit may be expected. Refreshments were provided for all. We are informed that the cost (nearly (400) of reno- vating the edifice has been practically cleared. The improved appearance of the chapel was the subject of general appreciative comment. and was considered to reflect great credit upon the architect, Mr H W Evans, Solva, and the contractors, Messrs Dl. Thomas and Son, Letterston, each of whom have spared no effort to ensure the efficient execution of the work. AIL-AGORIAD CAPEL MAMRE.
