THE question of pro\iding a permanent pavilion for the accommodation of the National Eisteddfod at Carmarthen next year is being warmly discussed in the town just now. The proposal of the Eisteddfod Committee is that the Corporation should follow the example of one or two other towns in Wales by enclosing a portion of the market within one roofed structure. Their argument is that the scheme will rank as a public improvement, inasmuch as it will enhance the value and usefulness of the market, and that it will provide a public hall of the kind of which the town has for a long time past been in need, and which will eventually pay for itself. We regret to say that with neither of these arguments are we able to agree, although we are in complete sympathy with the desire of the Eistedd- fod Committee, to place in the town a building which would stand as a perma- nent home for the National and other eistedd- fodau at Carmarthen in years to come. As we said months ago when the question was first put forward: the whole responsibility for the success of the pro- posal rests with the Eisteddfod Committee. The only arguments that would justify the Corporation in adopting tha scheme are reasonable evidence that the conversion of the selected site into a pavilion would be a sound commercial venture, or that it would rank among that class of public improvements from which no immediate or direct financial return is expected. As one member of the Town Council very properly put it on Tuesday night: the subject should bo considered by the Council in just the same way as any one member would examine a similar pro- posal affecting his own private business. It is with reluctance we say that NO far die Eisteddfod Com- mittee have failed to make out a case on these lines, in spite of the very able way in which the scheme was advocated before the Town Council on Tuesday night by the Chairman of that Committee. In the first place the estimated cost of building the struc- ture is. not at all definite. It has been placed, rouglily speaking, in the neighbourhood of £ 3,000; but no provision has been made for the annual up- keep, such as painting, which is bound to be a sub- stantial item. Ix the second place, apart from the LI,000 or so which will come from the National Eisteddfod of 1911 as I rent, the estimates of probable revenue from the building are not at all convincing. The first cost of this building would reach jittle, if anything, short of 24,000; a reasonable estimate for upkeep would probably be not under L50 a year. In return for this the pavilion would earn £1,000 or so immediately -a, very good start, but unfortunately a start only. After that the revenue would be uncertain. Under the most favourable circumstances Carmarthen might get the National Eisteddfod to return in say twelve years' time, while the prospects of a third visit are too remote to be treated seriously. In ten years, then, the pavilion might earn E2,000, or say £ 2,500, if the eisteddfod rent reached Ll,200 a time. Apart from that there is small reason to hope that a hall of such unwieldy structure would command, a regular annual revenue which would do anything more than cover the cost. of the yearly upkeep. The remainder of the first outlay would therefore have to be placed upon the rates, and to do that the Town Council certainly have no mandate. It has been suggested that the opinion of the town upon the situation should be obtained by means of a plebis- cite, but it must not be overlooked that such a process would not be a fair one unless the acting power of eaelt ratepayer were adjusted to the ex- tent of his contribution to the rates. There are ratepayers in the town who' are rated as high as jB200 and more, others as low as E10 and less; the absurdity of giving an equal 'voice to both is obvious. IN the other argument, viz., that of public improve- ment, the scheme is, unfortunately, again at fault. What improvement a single roof over the market or a portion of it would effect is open to much doubt. Even if it could be shown that an enclosed market would be better than the present one the promoters of the scheme would have to consider whether or not it is too late in the day to think of spending a tot of money upon what is at any rate not a growing concern. Country markets and fairs have undergone a change during the past twenty years, which is too obvious to be ignored, and there is no reason to supposo that the process is nearing an end. We do not say that the market may not for many years justify some expenditure on improvements, but not to the extent- of several thousand pounds. The argument for improvements, in short, cannot take a place in this discussion. If it could have been shown that this scheme, as a purely commercial undertaking, gave reasonable promise of success, it would have deserved the weightiest consideration. But the Committee, so far, have failed to show this, and we regret IT, for, like many others who oppose this scheme, we oppose it against our will, and would gladly supply any legitimate ammunition that might bo useful in breaking down the opposition to it. THE position of the Eisteddfod Committee should •rain ready symj>athy. They will be committed to an expenditure of £1,000 or more on a building which will not be allowed to stand a fortnight. Their dis- appointment is naturally acute, and if they show ex- treme anxiety to avoid it and to utilise that money for the permanent benefit of the town, their anxiety is entitled to respect. It is not dictated by any selfish motive. The Committee have nothing to gain from a permanent, pavilion. It will not reduce their expenses; rather will it increase them, as their desire would be to pay a larger sum for the hire of a permanent, building than for a temporary one. Wo feel sure that the Town Council are cluito alive to this, and would be prepared to consider the scheme favourably if its claims were supported by convincing facts and figures. The pity is that the Committee have not so far stated a good case. In postponing the discussion of tho project on Tuesday night the Council did well; they show a readiness to give it a fair hearing. n. in the meantime, the Eisteddfod Committee have any further arguments to urge in favour of their proposal they would do well to put them into as concrete and convincing a form as possible, and see that they are put forward at the adjourned meeting of the Council with all the force they deserve. If there is any town in Wales that ought to have. a permanent hoTne for the national festival it is Carmarthen, and it is the business of every ratepayer there at least to make sure whether or not it is possible to acquire one without putting the resources of the town to any strain.
NOTES OF THE WEEK.
NOTES OF THE WEEK. The unusual sight of a hen pheasant drinking at. tho edge of a river was seen the other day at Golden Drove. A sure sign that another General Election is close at. hand. The Government is again talking about bringing in a Welsh Disestablishment. Bill. We hear a lot from the Radical Party in these days about the "will of the People." Some people are thinking that the time is ripe for the Govern- ment to make its own will! But we shall wait and see. I After tho toast of the JOTTKNAL Centenary at the dinner the other day, the pianist, Mr. Puddi- combe, gravely played the "Old Hundredth," while the guests looked around in silent perplexity. It took them several long seconds to see the joke. A wild cat has been seen rambling in the woods at Drefach, Carmarthenshire, for about two years, and all efforts to capture it were unsuccessful until a week or so ago. A local sportsman named Robert Cole saw the cat and shot it. It weighed 351bs. The other day an angler walked into a shop in Carmarthenshire where fishing tackle is sold in addition to things liquid and otherwise. He asked for a l'4x cast," but was surprised to receive the reply, "Indeed. I am very sorry; I can only supply you with a cask of bitter now." Far from Mr. Jones C'remlyn's weighty arguments in favour of Tariff Reform falling flat, as some of his opponents allege—no doubt the wish is father to tho thought—they are so convincing that at the meeting at Ferryside this week one Free Trader left the room, because, as he afterwards admitted, 'Tf I'd stayed there much longer I'd 'aye been turned." The catches between 12 o'clock and 6 a.m. of the day of the opening of the salmon season were ex- ceedingly good, six salmon and 27 sewjn being secured. Tho largest salmon weighed ISibs.. and was caught at Penddolau by John Davies, Aborgwili. On the Monday night, 12 sewin were caught, one weighing 91bs. Vicing netted by a Priory-street man. At the centenary dinner of the JocitNAl., the Rev. Griffith Thomas mentioned the fact that a hundred years ago, every day of the week (except Sunday) was a fish market, and that these markets were held under Royal Charter. Local fishermen will join in the rev. gentleman's lament that such markets could not nowadays be held with the amount of fish taken out of the Towy. r- } Attention was called at the County Quarter Ses- sions on Friday last to the increase of criminal vagrancy in the country. The Chairman (Mr. D, W. Drummond). in charging the Grand Jury, pointed out that these nests are terrorising the countryside. and at present it seems impossible fur the law ade- quately to deal with them. The only remedy at present, seems to be the infliction of very stiff sen- tences on all the culprits who are caught. -if- Mr. Paton. who distributed 1!t,. prizes at. the County Girls' School, Carmarthen, the other day, is one of the only two in the kingdom who hold the title of "High Master." Wh ile he presides over I Manchester School, the other high master is at St. Paul's School. Mr. Paton, in addition to being a very cultured and scholarly man, can cook a meal or scrub the floor as well as any housemaid, and is proud of the accomplishment. A busy cleric is the Rev. Benjamin Edward Evans, the new minor canon of Peterborough, 'who is a son of the late Mr. James Evans, of Water-street, Car- marthen, and nephew of Mr. E. Colby Evans. Canon Evans has a close acquaintance with work in the Metropolis. For instance, lie laboured in a district dubbed by Mr. George R. Sims the "London Avernus. Besides his vocal powers, Mr. Evans is a- frequent contributor to tho magazines, and has written several serial stories. -it The Carmarthenshire Public Health and General Purposes Committee has decided that it is at present premature to enforce the new Act regarding the certification of midwives. It was pointed out, and generally agreed, that in the agricultural and in- dustrial districts, where certificated women are very scaree, a woman who goes to the assistance of one of her friends who is in trouble, should not be held responsible for anything that happens, providing that there had been no neglect. The chairman (Dr. R. L. Thomas, Whitland) put the whole ma tier in a nut- shell when he said. "A woman who would not help a friend in trouble is no woman at all." The news that the rates will be reduced by od. in the £ in the coming year will make pleasant read- ing for the Carmarthen ratepayers. This saving has been effected in the general district rate. which has been reduced from 2s. 8d. to 2s. 2d. The reduc- tion is partly due to the Council's decision last year to wipe out tho Bank balances, which, in this rate alone, amounted to £513, or about 4d. in the Economy has also been exercised in other directions, but what the ratepayers will want to know is why was not the economy and wisdom now practised put into operation Again, it is not intended to make the usual contribution of £400 from the general district fund towards the water rare. it it How long will Wales be deceived by the empty promise of DispstaMishmenC Past experience ought to have taught its people that only when their votes are wanted is this loadstone dangled before them. However.-the country is none too prosperous that it can afford to live on promises, and the. sooner the better people realise that Disestablishment will do them no good. and that it will be more to their interest to vote for the Party that is definitely pledged to a poiicy which will not only make tho farmer and small holder owners of the soil they till, by lending them State money at a low rate of interest, but afterwards enable them to make a better living on the land. Carmarthenshire may well afford to congratulate itself on its police force. Although numerically the smallest, constabulary, the county lias been policed in a surprisingly efficient manner, having regard to the facts disclosed by tho Chief Constable (Mr. Picton Phiiipps) at the Standing Joint Committee on Tuesday last. It i. a tribute to the ever-increas- ing industrial centres of the county, that, although not. adequately policed, the increaso in crime has not occurred in those parts, but is duo to the tramp- ing criminal classes that pass through the county in growing numbers month by month. With the modest nddition to his force, asked by the Chief Constable, the county will reap a benefit which will more than compensate for tie extra cost, half of which will be borne by the Home Office. Col. Richard Isaac Scarkc, of Laugharne Castle, who was mentioned in OIK- of our recent issues as a prominent, figure in Carmarthen Freemasonry in the early days of the last century, was a. captain in the Life Guards and a colonel of the West Carmarthen- shire Militia. A curious tradition states that his wraith occasionally appears at Laugharne Castle. It is said to have been distinctly seen by persons now living. Col. Starke was a member of tho Surrey Bowmen and won a silver hunting horn which was presented to him by the Duke of Clarence, after- wards William lY, The family is a very old one, and can be traced hack to the time of Richard J., for whom one of them did services which were re- warded by gifts of land in various parts of South Wales. Col. Starke's great grandson, Mr. Llewelyn Ravenseroft Starlce. was on a visit at Carmarthen the other day. He is a keen antiquary and naturalist, and it i.- thn hope of his friends that he may some day return 10 the old home of Lis ancestors at Lauuharne Castle.

DEATH OF HARRY STAMP.—One of the most well- known horse dealers in South Wales has just died at Swansea, in the person of "Harry Stamp," who passed away last week. "Harry Stamp." as he was always known—his real name being a mystery— was probably 80 years of age, and was a native of Norwich, "where Jem Mace comes from," and was inordinately proud of being a townsman of tho "immortal' Jem, about whom he was always full of anecdotes. Harry was to be seeu at every fair of importance throughout South Wales and the West of England, and was always a conspicuous figure on such occasions. A public subscription, to defray the cost of burial, and avoid a parish funeral, is being arranged by Mr. Wm. Grey, an old friend of de- ceased, whose address is 1398, Neath-road, Hafod, Swansea.
