FLEECING AT ABERYSTWYTH. a.a ALLEGED EXTORTION BY TRADESMEN. VISITORS' COMPLAINT. Something approaching a sensation has been caused in Aberystwyth, by the appearance a few days ago of letters, in the South Wales Daily News, from visitors indignantly pro- testing against the alleged "fleecing" propen- sities of tradesmen in this "go-a-head seaside resort. Very serious and damaging statements are made, and if there is even half a truth in them they are bound to adversely affect the town, which like Tenby, depends almost ex- clusively upon the "visitor industry." In many ways of late Aberystwyth has made itself notorious, not always in an enviable sense, but this new development is calculated to put all its other achievements in the shade. The first letter published was signed "Salo- pian," and was as follows the Britisher's privilege to growl, and I have a deep one to emit. Here am I, a proud Salopian, rusticating at Aberystwyth, in the very hinterland of Cymru, and surrounded by the ancient enemies of my race Time was, and well I know it, when their forbears and mine savagely gripped each other's throats, and revelled in pre- datory visits to each other's territories. What I want to know is-is that ancient feud forgiven and forgotten ? Because if it is, how comes it that I am now being fleeced alive. I came here for health, enjoyment, and rest. I get the first, but the en- joyment is the tradesman's, not mine, and pre- sently he will be resting through the winter months on the fat profits he has extracted out of the purses of myself and other hapless victims. I have spent summer and winter holidays in all the best known resorts on the North, South, and West Coasts of Wales, but this is my first-and it shall be the last-visit to Aberystwyth. Trades- men must live, true; and traders in seaside places may, I grant you, slightly put up their prices during the summer months. It is not this I complain of, but sheer extortion; and if my statement is challenged my wife's records of her business transactions are handy, and these show a difference of 60, 70, and even 100 per cent. between prices of commodities in Aberystwyth when compared with those of the larger towns of the Marches and South Waies. Is there really any justification for this? Perhaps I ought, in strict fairness, to add that the traders whose exorbitant charges I protest against do not, the majority of them, bear Welsh surnames. To this the next day a correspondent, also a, visitor, replied in strong denunciation of the tactics alleged to be in vogue among Aberyst- wyth tradesmen. Signing himself Never Again," he wrote from Newport The experience of your correspondent, Salo- pian," as to the victimisation of holiday-seekers by the tradesmen of Aberystwyth is not, by any means, an isolated one. It is quite understood that tradesmen have to make hay while the sun shines," but there should certainly be a limit as to what is a good profit and an extortionate one. It was my intention to spend the whole of my holidays with my family at Aberystwyth, but as I was not the happy possessor of a South Walet Daily Neicg holiday prize I found that impossible under the conditions prevailing, and had perforce, after a week's experience of the place, to seek a less expensive, though equally salubrious holiday resort. The commodities for sale at Aberystwyth shops were seldom marked with prices, and when a stranger made an inquiry he was first of all scrutinised by the shopman, and the price fixed in accordance with that gentleman's estimate as to what the intended victim was able to pay. Just a few illustrations. Where is the reasonable- ness of asking lOd. per pound for French beans while plums were 8d. and lOd. per pound? On ono occasion a resident entered a shop and pur- chased these articles at 50 per cent. lower than the price demanded of me. Why should the visitors, in the words of Salopian," be fleeced to such an extent ? Then, again, the charges made for accommodation at many of the lodging-houses are ridiculously high and quite out of keeping with the attention and comfort provided. I was not alone in my disgust at this fleecing," for when leaving the town I found companions in the train who had precisely the same grievance, and they, like myself, were glad to quit the place before their holidays expired, and leave the ex- ploiters to salve their consciences (if they have any) as best they may.

TENBY OPINION. Week after week Tenby opinions like the following are voiced in these columns. What better endorsement could there be ? Mr T. H. Llewellyn, whose address is 1, Victoria House, Marsh Road, is a well-known and respected resident of Tenby. I had the misfortune to strain my back through orerlifting," says Mr Llewellyn, and the result was that I began to complain of pains in the back. They became so bad that I could neither stand nor walk indeed I felt quite use- lass. It was evident that the strain had affected my kidneys. I believe I had a touch of lumbago as well. Having heard a good deal about Doan's back- ache kidney pills, I got some to try. Finding that a few doses of them did me good, I was encouraged to continue with the pills. I did so, and the pains became loss. When I had taken a thorough course of Doan's backache kidney pills the lumbago and backache pains were gone. I am glad to say I have not been troubled since. Doan's pills have indeed done me much good, and I can recommend them. (Signed) T. H. Llewellyn." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepcnce per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores or post free, direct from the Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W. Be sure yon get the same kind of pills as Mr Llewellyn had.

The speed trials of H.M.S. Blanche, cruiser, have now been finished. On the first eight hours' trial she attained a speed of 24.4 knots. On the full-power trial she attained 25.67 knots. The trials were run durine; very stormy weather. The season has been disastrous to Pembroke- shire agriculturists—quite the worst season for the hay and corn harvest experienced within living memory—and in numerous instances heavy financial loss has been sustained. A considerable quantity of blackened hay still remains ungathered in the sodden fields. It will not be edible, but may be used for bedding purposes. The outlook for the harvesting of the corn is not much brighter. The recent heavy storms and floods played havoc with the corn fields, and oats and barley—the principal cereals now grown in the county—where cut are rotting, and where uncut the over-ripe seeds are dropping from the ears. A few farmers only, from their favoured positions and timely operations, were able to complete their hay and corn harvest without losd. Printed and Published by FRANK B. MASON, at hi Printing Office.

CORRESPONDENCE. T'I 8n THE TREATMENT OF PIT PONIES. I To the Editor of the Tenby Observer. I SIR,-The question of the treatment of ponies and horses in coal mines has recently come very much to the front. A lady has drawn my attention to an article in Justice of June 25th, signed" Gwalia," and the statements in it are so horrifying that I am bring- ing the matter to the attention of the Home Secretary. The writer of the article has obtained .1 his information from "a collier friend," and he asserts that cruelty of a frightful character is practised upon horses underground. If all the statements are true, then the colliers are less to blame than their employers. He says :— The Companies bring pressure to bear upon the men to break previous records of output, and the men in turn are driven to put pressure upon the horses, and, owing to the overworked con- dition of the horse flogging has to be resorted to. True it is that occasionally a humane official will report a haulier for his cruelty and Police Court proceedings are instituted against the man, but proceedings are instituted against the man, but this is simply adding insult to injury. That thousands of pit horses commence work with the first shift of men on Monday morning and continue to work until Saturday, only being allowed to rest while they feed. And when they are given a rpspite from toil — from Saturday afternoon to Monday ri-ioriiiiig-the stabling ac- commodation is so inadequate and filthy that their condition cannot be such as to give a reasonable expectation that the men, having records to break, can make them go the pace without resorting to brutal flogging." He further states that the tracks along which the horses have to drag the loaded trams of coal are too low for many of them to stand erect, and frequently the'poor brutes are forced to drag their burdens along places quite nine inches less than their height. Many of the animals are stated to be so scratched, torn, and bruised by contact with the rough roof, that they are masses of festering sores," many of them work with the ailment known as Greasy heel," and the breasts of many of them are covered with a mass of sores caused by the caking of dirt on the inside of the collar. There are other serious statements, but the above will suffice. Surely a public investigation ought to be made at once into the truth of these statements I am, faithfully yours, THE EDITOR OF THE ANIMALS' GUARDIAN." 22a, Regent Street, London, S.W.

WHAT TENBY NEEDS. To the Editor of the Tenby Observer. SIR,-Might I suggest for the improvement and attractiveness of Tenby :— (1) More interest in the old Castle Hill. A band, or singers, or niggers would be glad to pay a rent to the town for use of the band-stand which has been so long empty. (2) Better lighting of the Hill and near to the old Harbour. (3) Allow bathers to choose their own places for bathing, without let or hindrance, so long as they wear suitable bathing dresses. (4) When vans are used, that two persons have the use of one van for 8d. and three persons for Is. (5) That strange musical companies (bands or singers) be allowed to come into the streets and shores (upon regulations) at an annual rent. (6) That a Free Library should be established (Carnegie's preferred), and that a Loan Picture Exhibition be held ea.ch season. (7) That Sunday trippers and Sunday excursions be discouraged. Six days work is sufficient. (8) That the fishing attractions of Tenby be well advertised. (9) That a steamer do the journey once a fortnight (or once a month) from Tenby to Ilfracombe and back in the day. (10) That more light (gas or otherwise) be fixed in the main street near the curio shops. With the best wishes of A VISIT0K. Chester, September 7th, 1910.
