County Council Elections SURPRISES IN CARMARTHENSHIRE. The Carmarthenshire County Council elections took place on Saturday, no less than 31 seats being contested in the county out of the 53, the nominees in the other 22 divi- sions being returned unopposed. There were many close contests, and not a few surprises. A notoWe feature of the eleotions in Car- marthenshire was the bold bid made by the ladies, four of whom were candidates. Miss Davies, Froodvale, won her oontest at Caio, thus succeeding the late Sir James Hills- Johns, V.C., and Miss Gwen Trubshaw claimed a seat at Llanelly. With Lady Howard, the retiring member, ^turned un- opposed at Llanelly, this makes three repre. sentatives of the women on. the Carmarthen- shire Council. It is interesting to note that Lord Dynevor won the seat at Llandilo, vacated by Mr. J. Towyn Jones, M.P. Many changes have been brought about, among the surprises being the defeat of the Rev. Fuller Milia at Carmarthen; Mr. Mer- vyn Peel, who, as representative of Llan- gadock for very many years, was one of the most faithful, active, and able administra- tors on the county council; and Mr. J. C. V. Pryse-Rice at Llandovery, which he has represented on the council for nine years with diligence and great credit. There will be many new faces in the new council. Eight of the old members did not seek re-election. There are seventeen alder, men, all of whom retire on Saturday, when the statutory meeting of the oountr oouncil will be held and the election of the alder- manic bench will be made.
