In his opinion deceased died from valvular disease cf the heart, accelerated by shock.—The Coroner, in summing up. said that had he been aware of the facts he might not have thought it necessary to hold an inquest at all, but as the deceased had died so suddenly, perhaps it. was as well that there should be an enquiry.—The jury returned a verdict, in accordance with the mdical evidence.

The Timbering and Ro;* Splicing Competitions have also received considerable attention, and a great entry has been received. Most attractive of all will be the Brass Band Con- tests. which were introduced in accordance with the wishes of friends from South Wales. Several well- known bands have entered for the competitions, and the how altogether will afford singular enjoy- ment to visitors of every class.

Residing, as he does, at Dolaucothi, his Carmarthenshire seat, which is situ- ate about 10 miles from the nearest railway station, 'the General has, at times, been greatly incon- venienced, but now that he has a motor-car he has already found out what a very useful vehicle it, is. His choice of a car fell on a "Yauxhall," and a 20-h.p. iandaulette was built to his order and sup- plied by Mr. Gibbon Brooks, of Cardiff, the South Wales agent for the company. I Now that. most of the county families and promi- nent county men are parting with their horses, and re-placing them with motors, there is not. much doubt that the Carmarthenshire roads are likely to improve. Mr. Pic ton Philipps, the chief-constabie of the county, is also a very ardent and enthusiastic motorist.

He read an appeal which had been drawn up by the Committee, calling upon the townspeople to do their best to make the 1911 Eisteddfod an unprecedented success, and proposed that they express their will- ingness to support the appeal. The motion was enthusiastically and unanimously carried, whereupon the Mayor reminded those present that they had all pledged ^themselves to give subscriptions and he hoped they would remember their promise. He regretted the fact that )1. J. D. Jones, the post- master, who had (.lone so much for the Eisteddfod, was shortly leaving Carmarthen for Liandudno, but was sure that lie expressed the feeling of all when he said that Carmarthen s loss would be Llandudno's gain (applause). Mr. J. D. Jones, in an eloquent Welsh speech, said that he regretted his impending departure from Carmarthen. The matter was a personal one, but as it had been mentioned he thought he had better touch on it. Although; however, it had been decided that he was to remove to Llandudno, it was not his intention to let that affect Ins zeal( and enthusiasm for the Eisteddfod, which would continue unabated by the change (applause). He hoped next year, duiiug his period of relaxation. to be able to come to Carmarthen during the time of the Eisteddfod free from all official ties, to enjov a holiday in Carmarthen at the Eisteddfod (applause).His mission there that night was to try and infuse as much enthusiasm into them as possible. In the opinion of a number of the Committee -the collection of the subscriptions should have been commenced on the day of the Gorsedd ceremony, immediately after the Proclamation, while the zeal was at its highest, but unfortunately that had not been done, and the meeting that night was held to regenerate that spirit which was so manifest on the day of the Gorsedd. Collectors would be making a Tiouse-to-house visitation during the next. couple of days, and he appealed to them to give as liberally asYhey possibly could. It was imperative that they should* have plenty of funds for the successful curry- ing on of the Eisteddfod, and he urged them to remember their glorious past and to be worthy of it. Carmarthen had always been noted in Eistedd- fodic history, and he had no hesitation IN saying that if Carmarthen only gave its Eisteddfod the support which it deserved it would be bigger and, far superior to any Eisteddfod ever held in the Principality (applause). Mr. Timothy uavies. a London "fct. Peter s Boy, next delivered a telling address. He wished to drive home what Mr. Jones had said, and appealed to every Carmarthen and Carmarthenshire mail, woman, and child to make the next vear's Eistedd- fod the greatest success in the annals of the Insti- -tution (applause). There were many reasons why they should do this, amongst which was the fact that Carmarthen was one of the most historic towns in the Principality. Again, Carmarthen had sent forth men who were foremost in every sphere of life, were it literature, art, secienee, or commerce, Some of the greatest men in these departmnts of life had been born in the county or town (applause In literature he instanced the famous Black Book of Carmarthen, which had been written centuries ago By the monks of thae Priory of Carmarthen; again they had Dafvdd ap Gwilym, Lewis Glyn- cothi, and a host of others. In the faculty of ln^ cine they had manv Carmarthen boys who had rrone to London and elsewhere and had made their names famous throughout the Continent of Europe and in history. Among them they had John Williams (applause), who was now retired, but who had taken such a great part, in W elsh life, espec al y in Welsh literature, and who had done so much for The National Library of Wales, of winch lie was the president (applause). Among the leading men in the world of commerce they were proud to rank the late Sir Alfred Jones, who left Carmarthen a poor boy 30 or 40 years ago, but whose name is now known from East to West as a successful busi- ness man (applause). He therefore appealed to them to justify their reputation and do their best for the Eisteddfod. When he went to London many years ago the London papers were running down the National Eisteddfod, and seemed io be trying to £ > down the National spirit. But T A^t-hew Arnold came out on the occasion of the Llandudno Eisteddfod and took his stand, and now the Eistedd- fod had risen higher and higher in the estimation of English people, the best of whom were eagerly looking forward to the Carmarthen Eisteddfod (ap- ^At*this juncture the Carmarthen Male Voice Party (conductor, Mr. W. Morris, gave a spirited rendering oi the Welsh p ce "tJewrion Feibion Gwalia." Mr John Hinds, of Blaekheath, another y Peter's Boy," followed with an impressive appeal '"The n„7. Dvfnallt. Owen, pastor of Lammas-street Chapel, who also spoke in Weisn, dealt eloquently with the historical associations of the town and the Eisteddfod. Merlin of old had prophesied that when the old oak tree in Priory-street disappeared Carmarthen would also disappear. Merlin had been dead manv hundreds of years, but the tree' a*" though old. was still standing, and Carmarthen was as prosperous as ever it was (aftpplause). That, old tree had probably witnessed the coming of the Roman legions which had overrun the country the advent of" the Saxons; the invasion of the mailed Norman warriors, and the growth of the present Fngl'sh nation. All except the latter had gone, notliin"' remained of the Roman and the Norman except "their roads and castles, but the Welsh nation and the Welsh language was still alive and flourish^ and that which had helped to keep it alive• in ihe' face of great difficulties was the Eisteddfod.

At the ti;tiie ser>ics 27 new members were received into the church by the Rev. H. R. Jones (pastor). THE young people ot St. Teilo's Mission Church are, with tne very laudable object of providing music for the Church, organising a String Band in connection with the place. It is hoped that thev will be encouraged in every direction, and that no obstacle will be placed in their way. In Mr. T. Griffiths and Mr. Christmas Hughes tliev have ex- cellent musicians to lead them on. Mr. Griffiths will, of course, be the conductor of the band, he being a proficient placer on the violin, as well as several other instruments. We wish them every 'I;uccess. OWING to a dispute at the Minciau Baptist Chapel, some 35 members have jeft that place and have been taken into communion at Siloam, Kidwelly. The dispute arose owing to a gift being made to the chapei, the malcontents. who have left considering that the gift—which was a very valuable one of silver communion vessels—should" not be received, seeing that it was given by Mrs. Hughes, of the 1 rmce of Wales" Inn, Mynyddycarreg. Mrs. Hughes has been a, prominent and a valued mem- ber of Meinciau Chanel for manv vears. A LARGE party of "Girl Guides' from Carmarthen including the two daughters of Mr. T. W. Barker, Oakiands, visited Kidwelly on Saturday, and all looked most charming in their becoming uniform. As soon as we have our Bov Scouts in full order here, we hope to start, with the girls, and form a troupe in connection with the "Red Cross" move- ment.

ONE. day last week a double drowning fatality was only just averted near the Cottage Farm, which lies on the banks of the Gwendraeth Fawr between the Aqueduct and Spudder's Bridge. The little seven-year-old daughter of the occupier, Mr. David Evans, by some means, managed to fall into the river, and was on the point of being drowned when her mother caught sight of her coming to the sur- face of the water after having sank once. The mother at once jumped into the river, which was at this spot quite deep, and she also, with the child, would certainly have been drowned if her frantic screams had not been heard by Mr. David Gower, of the Moat Farm (late of the Arlais, Kidwellv) who was mowing hay in a field not far off. ir, Gower at once ran to the snot, and was put, understand that the child was in the Water it having by this time sank again. Mr. Gower rushed )"«; a umy ,lad' and ir' with some difficulty, brought our the body of the now ap- parently lifeless child and the mother. Mr. Gower at once proceeded with the little knowledge he had of restoring the apparently drowned, and after a time had the intense satisfaction of seeing the little one openmg its eyes and breathing. Without a doubt Mr. Gower, by the prompt means he took saved tlie hfo of the child, who had been in The water upwards of fifteen minutes, and that of tli* mother as she was stuck fast in the mud, and was up to her chin in the water and sinking deener every moment We hone Mr. Gower"s action al be suitably acknowledged by the Roval Humane Society, before whom the case will dulv be brought

Deceased was only twenty-one vears of age and died from hemmorhage brought on by tuber- culosis. He was employed almost to the time of his death at the Emlyn Colliery. Penygroes. and was a general favourite among his fellow workmen. His untimely death cast quite a gloom over the place, and he will be greatly missed by those who knew him. His remains were brought, home on Saturdav evening to Castle Howell Arms, the place of his adoption. On Tuesday afternoon a. verv large and representative gathering of relatives, friends, and sympathisers, met to pay their last tribute of respect to one so greatly loved. The Rev. E. O.

Deceased was a faithful member of Bwlchyfadfa Church- Numerous floral tributes were sent, by friends, and the widest sympathy is expressed with the sorrowful relatives of deceased. ACCIDENT.—It is with great regret manv will hear of the sad accident which happened to Mr. Daniel E. Davies. 7. Richard s-terrace, Cwmbach. Aberdare, a son of Mrs. Davies. 20, Lincoln-street. Llandyssul, and a brother of Messrs. Ben Davies, -Porth Hotel, and Johnny Davies. C'ilgwyn Hotel.

He is now beimr carefully attended to at Aberdare Cottage Hospitai. and it is hoped that he will soon recover. Mr. Davies was highly respected at Llandyssul and Llanfihangel-ar-arth, where he was well-known.

His any friends wish him a speedy recovery, so that he may join his wife once more at a happy home. CENTENARIAN'S LETTER.—Mrs. Hannah James, of Penffin, lioreb. who celebrated her hundredth birthday a few months ago has written a remark- able letter for a lady so far advanced in life to her sister. Mrs. Rachel Jones, of Sebring, L.S.A., who is herself 86 years of age. Mrs. James apparently holds strong religious views, and in the course of her letter she states: "I do not suffer from any pain (praise the Lord) but of course I am weak and bedridden. All my happiness I draw from the Fountain o fHappiness and Joy—the Lord- who watche-. over his children. There was quite a multitude here OIL my hundredth birthday, and it was evident the Master was here too. The meet- ing was very warm throughout. The prayers were very earnestly offered, the singing full of enthu- siasm. and I thought a great revival had started. I hope the eat,rie-t. i-,ravers that ascended from this little cottage to the Celestial Throne will not be in vain. He who sitteth on the Throne will hush the cherubin's heavenly choir, if needed, to listen to the faint yearning of a sinner. I was greatly honoured by receiving a telegram of congratula- tion from His Majesty King Edward VII. Many came to see me from curiosity, and others for tLA sake of seeing how the Lord guardeth.. How I would like if everyone came with that purpose.
FERRYSIDE
FERRYSIDE PLUCKY Boy.—On Monday evening two lads named Arthur Dyke. and a visitor named Donald Wiltshire. were swimming from the beach to a yacht- which was anchored in the estuary at Ferryside. Wiltshire succeeded in getting aboard, whilst his companion, who is also an excellent swimmer, got in difficulties through losing his presence of mind. He floundered about in the water and was on the point of sinking, when Wiltshire threw him a rope, which lie missed. Then without a moment's hesitation Wiltshire plunged into the water and going to his assistance succeeded in holding him un until Captain D. Jones, coxswain of the lifeboat. and George Thomas, bow- man. who had launched a boat, came up and brought the lads "ateiv to shore. But for tiii, prompt action of Wiltshire, the other, lad must have inevitably been drowned, and had not the timely help of Messrs. Jones and Thomas been at hand, both lads would probably have met watery graves. It is to lie hoped the case of Wiltshire will be brought to the notice of the Royal Humane Society, as his plucky action deserves recognition.

The locale selected this year is Tenby, and the run will be made by motor-car. This mode of locomotion has been decided upon in consequence of the pleasure afforded by travelling in this way last year. Those who intend joining in .the Trip should at once communicate with thi- secretary. Mr. Daniel Ambrose, of 3, New-road.

D. Jenkins, the well-known architect of Llan- dilo. motored with Mr. Jenkins to the Porth Hotel. Llandyssul, on the previous evening. This shows the strong ties that often exist even in the most eventful moments of life between instructor and instructed. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE "TJ:U}.Thè annual meeting in connection with the Llandilo and Dis- trict Licensed Victuallers' Association was held last Thursday at the Cawdor Arms Hotel. Mr. Evan Thomas, the district representative of Messrs. Tru- man. Hanbury, Buxton and Co. was unanimously re-elected president for the ensuing year, whilst Ir. T. Ambrose, the popular landlord of the Caw- dor's Arms Hotel, was re-elected vice-president. The nine committee men who retire this year were re-elected. A letter was read from Mr. J. G. Robinson, secretary and manager of the Licensed Victuallers' Defence League of England and Wales, pointing out the heavy expenditure which would necessarily be involved in protecting the interests of the trade during the perilous times existing and anticipated, and inviting support. On the proposi- tion of Mr. Parry Castle Hotel, it was unani- mously decided to increase the association's sub- scription to the society from local funds by 50 per cent. Votes of sympathy were passed with Mr- Ambrose. the secretary, in his illness, as well ap with Mr. Tarr, Swansea, who is also indisposed.

In mak- ing his generous gift to the town it goes without savin" that Lord Dynevor felt that the towns- people. children included, as well as the visitors, were sadly in need of an open space wherein they rest and enjoy the unrivalled scenery of the sur- rounding district without being in any way hindered or disturbed. Too frequently people have in the past been seen sitting on tomb-stones in the churchvard on the occasion of large .Sunday school trips, as well as other parties visiting the town.
