Bronchitis & Blood Spitting Cured by VENOos LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mrs. J. Hurst, 37, Byrom Street, High Park, Southport, writes:—" I suffered for over a year from a distressing bronchial cough which nothing could apparently relieve, and I got so low and weak from coughing and spitting phlegm and blood that I could scarcely walk. I developed chronic bronchitis, but nothing did me any good, and I tried various so-called cough remedies, until I despaired of ever being better. At last I tried your wonderful Cough Cure, the first bottle relieved me, and now I am quite cured and as well as ever." V«yu>'s Lightning Cough Cure is a perfect remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma, influenza, blood spitting, nasal catarr.i children's coughs, and all chest and ilL trouble?.

ABERDARE COUNTY SCHOOL. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. PAST YEAR'S EXCELLENT RECORD. The annual distribution of prizes and certi- ficates won by the students at the Aberdaf? County School took place on Thursday evenin;. at, the New Empire, kindly lent for the occa- sion. The chair w&s occupied by County Coun- cillor David tfughes. the Chairman of the Managers, who was supported by Lord Aber- dare, who had kindly consented to distribute the prizes and certificates, and his daughter, the Countess of Newport, Mrs. W. Lloyd, and Mrs. J. Griffiths, Park Schools, members of the governing body; Mrs. W. C. Cox. wife of the headmaster: Councillors T. Lewis. Morgan John Harries, A. P. Jones, W. Thomas, add. William Jones (Mountain Ash), Govcmo.TS of the school; Mr. W. C.'Cox, M.A., headmaster I of the County School. There was a fair at- tendance of parents of the children and otners interested in the school. I The proceedings opened with a fine rendering I of "lien Wiad fy Nhadau" by tho pupils, con- ducted by Mr. Tom Price, of Merthyr, the musical instructor at the school, the solo being rendered by Miss M. Evans, one of the pupils. THE SCHOOL EXTENSIONS. i C-ajm. D. Hughes, in his opening speech, j > id that- t.bey had met for the fourteenth time I d'.st-ibute the prizes won by the students, j 'Ki he was very proud to be able to announce | KV ihe snhoo' had won more certificates and j sc-oUrr.hips than on any former occasion (ap- j r>?!«?!■ He complimented the headmaster. | 'he$*« £ [, and the students on this e^c-eller: re- j w? 'hear, hear). Some reference liari Keen "rtieio r<!<*?ntiy to the staffing of the sch<v> and ) •i.xtcosion of the building and the increased thereon to which he w'I,Jd like | briefly to reply. The fact was that now erections did not add a single place to 'he nc roromodation of the school; the additions were "due to Aberdare six or seven years ago, but 'va„s only now that the County Council had "d them (hear, hear). The new flymnaSlUm the new physical laboratory, and tho rev. chemical laboratory were badly required at the school, and ought to have been built years ago; they were destined to help the pupils to do better work. He could thê ratepayers of Aberdare that these additions to the tehooi would not cost them a single extra penny; i< would all be paid from the secondary rate of 2d. in the £ which they now paid. and the d. I in the £ rate under the scheme. The additions would not cause any increase in either of these items, although the cost of the evening continu- ation schools and the technical classes might do so. As to the charge of overstaffing. he could assure them that the school was not over J :;I,3,Ieù nor had it ever bean. It was not tha,t day up to the requirements of the Centra' '.Vetah Board, and those requirements would be probably increased shortly. The C'ha,n;pn ihsri referred to the new school propose erected on the Cwmbach-road, lInd fiiar- zrt a very short time that school t/v >-?.-ted. The delay had been caused by th- ";¡,;3õ:ents with the Merthyr Corporation,* ihe consequent alteration of the scheme. JT p heartily welcomed Lord Aberdare -• Jcheers)—who had ever taken a keen interest the school (loud applause). To Lord Aberdar.-«. s father they were deeply indebted. It was hr who laid the foundation of that school, and it was to him mere than to any other man Wales was indebted for its excellent svstem of sec- ondary schools (loud applause). That had been one of the greatest blessings which Wales had ever secured. The school choir, then gave a very fine ren- dering of "Godiad yr Ehedydd." HEADMASTER'S REPORT. Mr. W. Charlton Cox, M.A., the headmas- ier, who was accorded an enthusiastic reception. said that it had been a great pleasure to him j to be connected with the school for thirteen years, and to be privileged on that occasion to present the best report which had ever been given at an annual gathering since the school was opened (loud applause). The past year bad been a record one. He referred io tho. excellent espirit de corps maintained in the school. The report stated :—"I think I may safely say that the period under review may be justly regarded by all connected with the school with feelings of great satisfaction, and that the reputation which the school has won in former years has been not only upheld, but enhanced. It is my duty, first of all, to com- mend very highly the excellent tone and spirit displayed by the scholars throughout the year. Not only has there been a praiseworthy ab- sence of ail serious misdemeanours, but the in dustry and enthusiasm exhibited by practically every pupii h3 been most creditable, and has been a source cf great .satisfaction to the staff and t.o myself. A most encouraging feature was the general manifestation of a spirit of cheerful loyalty and self-control, shown sometimes under very trying circumstances. As an instance of this I may mention the excellent discipline maintained by the pupils, nearly 170 in number, who visited the National Pageant, where a se- ries of disappointments and delays due to the faulty arrangements of the Pageant Authori- ties, were endured with a patience and good order which would have put many bodies of adults to shame; in spite of the trying circum- stances not a single instance of disobedience or misconduct occurred. In the second pface, a high meed of praise is due to the assistant staff for the energy and devotion with which they worked to secure the progress of the pu- pils, alike in conduct and in intellectual at- tainments. The result of this sympathetic co- operation was that the year proved itself a record year. A larger number of certificates, a larger number of exhibitions and scholarships and a smaller percentage of failures fell to our lot, than has been achieved in any previous year. There were on the register in the autumn term, 1908, 12C boys and 135 girls: total, 255. Spring term, 1909, 116 boys and 131 girls; to- tal, 247. Summer term, 1909, 106 boys and 112 girls; total. 218. This makes an average for the year of 240 pupils on the register, com- pared with an average for the preceding ses- sion of 279. I may explain that the drop in the number for the summer term was largely due to a change made in the method of at- tendance of 'the pupil teachers, by which 18 pupil teachers were lost,, who, but for this, would have attended till the end of the ses- sion. There was one change in the staff during the session. At the end of the spring term Mr. W. W. P. Lewis, B.A., resigned his position. Mr, W. H. Fenton, of Arnold House School, Blackpool, was appointed to succeed him. to take up his duties in September. Mr. Fenton. who has had much experience of commercial and civil service work was appointed with a view to aidintr in the development of the commercial side of the school. No formal inspection of the school was made during the session, but in- formal visits were made by Mr. Owen Owen. Chief Inspector, on October 13th and 14th, and bv Mr. W. H. Robinson on February 2nd. Mr. Skirrow, H.M.I., also vis'ted the v school on Februarv 2nd, and once during the autumn term. As the work of the school is now very complex, it seems advisable to survey briefly the work of the various deoartments of the school separately before dealing with the ex- amination results as a whole. Dealing first with the pupil teachers and bursar?. I have to report that the numbers attending during the session were as follow :—Pupil teachers in first year: 4 boys, 3 girls; total. 7. Pupil teachers in second yerr 6 boys, 11 girls total. 17. Bur- sars 1 girl. Two pupils who.intended to be- come pupil teachers also worked with the first year pupil teachers. A great improvement in the ability and work of the oupil teachrs manifested itself this session. Turning to the commercial department, I have to report that. the number of pupils was: Boys, 20; Girls, 4. Gotyl work was done in the course-of the year, and this side of the school continues to grow in popularity. Many successes were gained bv the remainder or professional side of the school. T may summarize them as follows:—London Matriculation pupils (Evan W. Davies and Trefor J. Reynolds) passed in January, and one more (T. Rrinley Reynolds) in September, three candidates being thus successful out of four who entered. Welsh Matriculation: This examination was passed in full or completed by five pupils (Iay George. May Lewis, Dorothy Rees, E. W. Davies. W. O. Twiny). The re- sults of tho Central Welsh Board Examinations, which extended from July 7th to July 23rd, and were as usual of a very- seaching nature, were as follows:—Honours certificates, 9; all can- didates entered bp.ing successful. Senior certifi- cates. 18 (including 'the candidate from the commerical side alreadv mentioned). Junior certificates: 25 from the professional, and 4 already mentioned from the commercial side; total 29. These with the commercial certificate mentioned above, make a total of 57 certificates, the largest number yet gained by the school. As only 86 candidates entered for the certifi- r cates, one of whom did not complete the ex- amination. 67 per cent. of those entered were successful: 25 marks of distinction were obtain- ed. Three County exhibitions of the approx- imate value of B40 a year for three years were gained, the winners being David F. Davies, May Lewis, and Mary Howells. This again is a larger number than has ever been gained by the school before. David F. Davies further qualified for a County free studentship, and won in open competition at Cardiff University College the Sir A. Thomas Scholarship of £25 a year. At the same place May Lewis won an Entrance exhibition of the value of £10 a year. In this connection some allusion should be mads to the Sucesses of former pupils, many of whom accomplished remarkable achievements during the year. Among these, Mr. Ezer Griffiths gained the degree of B. Sc. (Wales) with first class honours in Physics, at a very early age, and was awarded the Isaac Roberts research scholarship of the value of J650. He has thus fully justified the high expectations which we entertained in regard to him when he left the school. Miss Lizzie Parfitt gained an on entrance scholarship at Girtorc College of jE50 A year, and was also awarded the £8n scholarship tenable at the same college, offered by the Glamorgan County Council. Miss May Williams passed the modern languages tripos at Cambridge with third class honours, and, was awarded a scholarship of the value hf £40 I' year, open (II intending teachers, at Cardiff University Cdlege. The following former s-.uiils gained the degree of B.A. (Wales): Miss Aenid fVon, with first class honours in Gerwi&n; Mr. W. S. Levinson. with second class honours in history; Miai fiannab Richards, with third class honours in history, and Miss B.. M. Edwards. The following gained the de- gree of B.Sc. (Wales); Mr. G. A. Jones and Mr. C. S. Reed. Under the able supervision of Miss Penny the girls continue to make ex- cellent progress in physical drill. A great step in advance has to be chronicled in this report with regard to the sobool game?. In Septem- ber the Govonns's over the tenancy of the jiobcitsitov n n the course of the ear ¡n.¡.Pf'r:01 ir. obtaining lease of the field for a term years. Steps were taken to have it proper' fenced in, and T hope next year to report that this has been pccouiplished. Rugby football and cricket were played by the boys, who, showed a good spirit of interest. I was, however, rather disappointed with the lack of spirit among the girls, very few of whom could1 be induced to play hockey regularly, al- though every encouragement was given them. In tennis, however, and croquet, the numbers playing were more. satisfactory. Before con- cluding my report I should like to make one or two suggestions with regard to the future. I have alrendy drawn your attention to the need, of adopting every possible means of in- creasing lumbers in attendance. I bcheve it would be of considerable assistance in this direct-ion f means could be devised of bringing the busines men and employers of the neighbourhood into closcr touch with the school and its pupils, and I would suggest that during the oomiug year you consider carefully what can be done towards this. There is a danger lest tbc Intermediate Schools of the 0untrY Sh0\dd become too narrow in their aims and curriculum and Unvote themselves too much to the production of pupils fit either to proceed to to.<> Universities and to takû theIr degree, or to "ntfr t.he teaching profession. We want to avoid this pitfall, and to open up other avenues in life to our pupils, but in order to do this W" mmt consider carefully what are the qualifications required in these branches, and as far as possible adapt our curriculum a.nd t'3adlin to th" production of those qlw.lific!1- tions. We have already made a beginning in this direction, but. what we appear to need 'nost at the moment is an accurate knowlcde of the demands iikeh to be made on pupils desirous of entering commercial life, or taking up the pursuit of one of our local industries. think th Governors can do much to help us in this. There is one other small suggestion. The Governors are now doing much to help the outdoor life of the school. May we hope before long not only to see the playing-field properly fenced in, but also adorned with a. modest pavilion for the use of the pupils."

A fine selection on the harp was then given by Mr. Taliesin Morcan, the winner at the London National Eisteddfod, who was heartily encored. LORD ABERDARE'S ADVICE TO THE BOYS. Lord Aberdare then delivered an address. He said it gave him very great pleasure to be pre- sent to distribute the certificates and prizes. It also gave him great pleasure to see by the successes that the present pupils were keeping up the reputation of the schooh He felt sure that the late Lord Aberdare would have been very pleased to occupy the proud position which he occupied to-doy 1\11" Cox had furnished them with far more particulars with regard to what was being done at the school than he could. It was a red-lfetter day in the history of their schools when they could give such re- turns. His Lordship next referred to the advent of a County School at Mountain Ash. which I had caused the decline in 1.112 attendance at Aberdare, for which he was partly responsible (laughter). He remarked that Wales looked to Aberdare as one of its first intermediate schools, and he hoped that the pupils would keep it up to the position wliich it. at present cccupicu.^ He was to a considerable degree the cause oT the establishment of a sihcol at Mountain Ash but he would be sorry to see Aberdare lose its present position. He would like to see Moun- tain Ash come closely behind (cheers). His Lordship urged upon the pupils to utilize their knowledge when they left school to the best possible end. Dealing with the teaching pro- fession, he said that that branch was over- crowded. They knew what the results had been when so many entered a branch of employment. In his concluding remarks his Lordship referr- ed to the splendid selections which had been given by Master Tal. Morgan. He hoped that the boy would in time to come occupy a posi- tion as harpist similar to the one occupied by "Pencerdd Gwalia" (cheers). Mr. A. P. Jones proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Aberdare, and remarked that his Lord- ship's family had always taken a keen interest in local affairs. Aid. W. Jones, Mountain Ash, seconded. A similar compliment to the chair- man was proposed by Mr. T. Lewis and second- ed by Mrs. J. Griffiths. Both votes were car- ried with enthusiasm. Further selections of music by the school choir was rendered.

--+- UNION OF TEACHERS. MEETING AT ABERDARE. The annual meeting took place on Saturday last at the Higher Standard School, the retir- ing president, Mr. Thos. Walker, in the chair. Mr. Jack Thomas, secretary (with whom a. vote of condolence was passed) read the minutes of the previous meeting, and then referred to cer- tain business which arose from correspondence received. Re the interesting discussion on medical inspection of school children, Mr. Tho- mas reported that the medical officer had been I written to and every attention had been given to it. The following officers of the Glamorgan ¡ County Association were elected presidents:— Mr. Walker, president; Mr. Philip Thomas, Neath, secretary; Mr. Wilmott, Cardiff. The secretary read a very concise report as to the work he had had to do during his secretary- ship. That was the 40th annual report of the Association, and on the whole he was fairly well pleased. The attendance had not been as good as in previous years, but the balance sheet showed that things were progressing. The treasurer, Mr. John Griffiths, Llwydcoed, and the Benevolent and Orphans' secretary, Mr. John Griffiths, Park Schools, gave their re- ports; the latter was not altogether satisfied and it was stated that subscriptions should be taken up in every school, and should be almost double. The former report was satisfactory, showing a balance in hand of £13 13s. Mr. Walker, in returning thanks for assistance given him by members in his year of office, re- tired, and Miss S. George, Higher Standard Schools, was duly inducted president for 1910. Miss George then thanked the hvunbers for the honour conferred upon her. She stated the I position of :he rambling club, of which she was secretary. There was in hand a balance of J63 8s. 6d. Mr. William Griffiths and Mr. Walker submitted a few changes, and then the increased subscription to N.U.T. set up a discussion. Mr. Griffiths's scheme was eventu- ally carried—that a fixed subscription of 12s. be paid, together with 3s. by headmasters, 2s. headmistresses and assistant masters, Is. 6d. by assistants, and 6d. by teachers having left the profession be paid towards local expenditure. Mr. Philip Thomas, of 011011 School. Neath, who for very many years has done most effec- tive work on the Benevolent and Orphanage Association of the N.U.T., as well as so much on the Neath Association of the N.U.T., gave an interesting address on the work of the Benevolent and Orphan Fund, and strongly ap- pealed to the members in Wales, and especially in Glamorgan, to do their utmost this year to at least double the subscription. Mr. Thomas set before those present the benefits arising from membership of this fund. In year 1870, only 27 Associations were affiiated to the N.U.T.. and he was pleased Aberdare was even then one. There were many privileges of the N.U.T., but the Benevolent and Orphanage de- served greater recommendation still. The an- nuity and provident funds helped tnembers to help themselves," but in the Benevolent and Orphan fund they helped others. It was es- tablished in 1878, and the total income was £78. In 1879 it had increased to £1,654. Five years later a boys' arid girls' orphanage was established and in 1889, by the magnificent work of the London teachers and the extraordinary beneficence of Mr. Passmore Edwards, the sum of £20,000 was raised, and the Sydenham Orphanage—a model institution—was erected. He was sorry to state that one-seventh of the non-members in England and Wales came from Wales. He then showed how-the money re- ceived was spent; £22,000 was spent in 1908, and 1,858 cases assisted. Over £15.000 of this money was devoted to teachers under 40 years of age. He also touched upon the benefits which healthy folk might derive from the Be- nevolent and Orphan Fund. Respective cases which had been assisted in various parts of England and Wales were cited. The following officers were elected:—Vice- president. Mr. Evan Dd. Humphrey executive, Misses Haste, Modfridd Davies, A. G. George, Alice Lewis, Emily Morris, and Messrs. Wil- liam Griffiths, Willie James. J. Pole, and Ed. Davies. Conference delegates: Mr. Jenkins, Miss Hastie, Messrs. Wm. Griffiths, J. Grif- fiths (Llwydcoed), John Griffiths (Park). Later in the evening after tea. which Miss George and staff had provided, the local branch and tho Benevolent and Orphons' funds of the N.U.T. met to have certain points of interest explained. Mr. J. A. Williams, president, pre- sided. Mr. John Griffiths, Park Schools (sec.) read minutes of previous mting, and the following officers were re-elected: President, Mr. T. A. Williams: vice-president. Mr. W. Griffiths; secretary. Mr. John Griffiths: trea- surer, Miss A. G. George. New Committee, who will meet and probably arrange some special effort in order to raise some extra fund for the Benevolent and Orphans' fund: Miss Morfridd Davies, Airs. Jenkins, Miss G. George, Miss Bessie M. Richards, Messrs. Lavender, T. Walker, J. Griffiths (Llwydcoed), Jack Tho- mas. Matt Lewis. Mr. Thomas explained life membership, its advantages, and expressed the opinion that we could have devoted to this dis- trict one-third of what is collected.

League of Young Liberals for Aberdare. On Monday evening a large and entbu46astit gathering ot the younger members of the Aberdare Liberal Club, as well as of a numbet of other ardent young Liberals met at tho club to consider the advisability of establish4 ing a branch of the League of Young Liberals in the town. The Rev. J. Morgan Jones, p:esid3nt of the A^rdare Liberal Association, occupied the chair, and he said he welcomed the proposal to form a branch in the town. That was the time and that was the op* pcrtunity for Liberals to take a step forward. The constituency had elected a young Liberal as one of its members, and he believed that young man was going to put new life into the party (applause). The League of Young Liberals was taking firm hold of the young people of the country, and he hoped they would all throw themselves with energy into the movement (hear, hear). He looked upon the Young Liberal League as the political side of the work of that club, and he hoped all the young members would take part in it (hear, hear). Mr. Aubrey Roberts, the convener of the aieeting, then spoke as to the constitution of the League, and the work it could do in connection with Liberalism in the district. Iff- moved that a branch be formed. This was seconded by Mr. D W. Evans, and supported by Mr. D. M. Richards, the Libera! Registration Agent for the Aber- dare Valley, who spoke of the excellent work done by the Mountain Ash branch during tha past two sessions. At Penrhiwceiber, too, they had done good work, the League there being of much educational value. At the recent election the Mountain Ash branch rendered Mr. Edgar Jones very vatuable ser- vice. Mr. George Parr also supported tho resolution, which was carried unanimously. —It was then resolved that the first meeting for the election of officers, executive com- mittee, etc., should b. held next Monday at the club, and the following were elected a commiuoe to submit the rules and new con- stitution, etc., with suggestions as to future working to the next meeting:—Rev. J. Mor- gan Jones, Misa Bessie M. Richards, Wenallt, Miss Evar.c-. btuart-street. Messrs. Aubrey Roberts, I,< A-, D. W. Evans, E. Ogweq Williams, and George Powell, Glouoeatf-- street."

ABERDARE VALLEY NOTES. I [By MuYB DAB.) It is forty-seven years—February 5th, 1865-- since Dr. D. Davies, of Bryngolwg, who is still j among us, was appointed Medical Officer of I Health, to the Aberdare Local Board of Health. The changes seen by Dr. Davies in the district are very great, and although much still remains to be done, the record of the past half-century under the local government of the Aberdare Local Board of Health and the District Coun- cil has been one of great improvement. Let us hope that before the half century has passed, we may secure the Incorporation of the town. The movement in that direction is lagging somewhat, but now that the elections are over, it is to be hoped that the High Constable and the Aberdare Chamber of Trade will again take up the subject in earnest. The new asphalte pavement laid down by the District Council in Abernant-road from the houses near the Surgery to the corner of Alex- andra-terrace will ba a great improvement, and a much-needed one. The pathway here in the past was always damp and muddy. I trust that the Council will introduce this style of pavement in footpaths more and more.

♦ "I HAVE FINISHED." A STEEPLEJACK'S PLUNGE. ABERDARE SENSATION. Mr. R. J. Rhys (coroner) held an inquest at the Police Station, Aberdare, on Thursday] afternoon touching the death of Patrick Crow- ley, who met his death on the Tuesday prev- ious while following his employment as a steeplejack at the Bwllfa Collieries. Mr. W. Saint, H.M.I.M., watched the proceedings oa behalf of the Home Office. The Bwllfa Coin liery Company were represented by Mr. Cw Kenshole, solicitor. Thomas Crowley said deceased was his father. He was 52 years of age. He lived at one time at Taiywain. He was employed as Messrs. McCarthy and Sheen as steeplejack. Occasionally ho worked on the coal. He had been working as a steeplejack ever since wit- ness could remember, and had travelled all over the globe in that capacity. He died on the 25th ult.. a.> the result of an accident w ceived while in the course of his employment. Harriet Beech am, of 54, High-street, said deceased lodged with her. He left the housd on the previous Tuesday about 7.30 a.m. to go to his woik. He was, to all appearances, in good health. Dennis McCarthy, of the firm of McCarthy, and Sheen, steeplejacks, said deceased had been in the employ of the firm for a large number of years. On Tuesday, the 25th ult., they were engaged in demolishing a stack at the Bwllfa Collieries. The stack was 88ft. high when they, first commenced work there. By Tuesday it had been reduced to 55ft. It was lift, in dia- meter, and the thickness of the walls was 2ft^ Witness was at work on top, when Crowley) came up at 11.45 a.m. on Tuesday. He com- menced work immediately, and sat astride on the wall, directlv opposite witness. Suddenly, deceased got up and said, "I have done, Dennis." He then made a deliberate plunge off the wall. No walling gave way. Witness noticed nothing strange about deceased when he came up, and he could not say whether he had been drinking or not.—By Mr. Kenshole: Deceased should have been work at nine o'clock. Witness did not know where he had been during the morning. It was not an acow dent, but a deliberate plunge. Charles Hall, a mechanic at the Bwllfa Col- liery, said he saw deceased at work on the stack on Tuesday. There was a large number of people looking at him as well. Suddenly ,.le witness eaw him fall sideways off the stack. Witness was the first to get to him after he fell off. He was alive then, and smelt of drink. Evan Williams, a bricklayer at the colliery, said that on Tuesday morning he was at the Tonilwyd Inn, Cwmdare. About 10.50, the de- ceased came in and asked him to pay for a pint of beer for him. He (witness) acceded to the request, but the landlady refused to supply him, as he appeared to have had enough drink already. He then left with the remark, "It u my last time round, old boy." Hall (recalled) was asked why the people were watching the deceased at work on the stack, and he replied that they had seen his condition before he went up. The jury returned a vfuaict of "Suicide dtLr4 ing temporary insanity."
