DISPLAYS. — Two lantern displays have besn given ar, the Primitive Methodist Chapel, Newtown. The first took place on Sun- day evening last, when the subject was the question, "What must I do to be saved?" Mr. AV. Llewellyn, Abcraman, was itie preacher, and his ra.iiistry proved very acceptable. He said salvation was more than an external thing; it was a change "in and out," and it was possible to the most degraded. A ieeond display of pic- tures was given in respond to an appeal from the Education Committee for funds to feed hun- gry children, and the friends chose the inter- esting lecture, entitled "John Bull's Money Bags."

Mr. Beasley, of the Taff Vale Railway Co., wrote in reference to the proposed nfttor halt at Ynysyboeth, stating tlia-t while he had no objection to meeting a deputation, he failed to see that any useful purpose could be served by an interview, since his directors cou'd not see their way clear to construct a footbridge near the second site proposed.—Mr. George Hall said he thought it was useless meeting Mr. Beasley unloss he had soms offer to make.—Mr. Evan Morris said he did not want to see the matter fall through, and he moved that the Clerk and Surveyor wait upon Mr. Beasley.— Mr. Silas Williams seconded the motion, which was agreed to.—Mr. Millar moved that another letter be sent to the landlord, and this was also agreed to. r< A letter was read from the Royal Sanitary Institute, giving notice of tho annual conferenec- to behld at Belfast in July.-Tlie Clerk said they had no power to pay expenses.—Capt.

Mr. T. Davies, secretary of the Abercynon Chamber of Trade, wrote stating that that body had passed a resolution protesting against the action of the Council in closing the road lead- in to Ynysmeurig Bridge, without giving the public duo notice of their intention.—In the course of the discussion, it transpired that it was necessary to close up the rond in order to proceed with the neim, bridge.—Mr. G. Hall: Whatever "we do at Abercynon, the Chamber of Trade never seem to be satisfied. A letter was read from the County Med'cal Officer inquiring .what the Council were doing towards obtaining a site for a small-pox hospi- tal.-Tht-, Cleric said he had replied to the letter to the effect that the Council were now negotia- ting for a site.

Mr. Keir Hardie at Abercynon. "THE VOICE" IN EVIDENCE. Mr. J. Keir Hardie, M.P., was subjected to a great deal of heckling when addressing a meeting in support of Mr. C. B/Sfcanton (La- bour candidate for East Glamorgan) at Aber- cynon, on Friday. Mr. Hardie said they were told that the issue before the country was the House of Lords, and in this connection they could well afford to trust the Labour Party, who stood not merely for curtailing the power of that House but abolishing it. Mr. Hardie referred to the fact that there was a three-cornered fight in that division, and he said there was practically nothing to choose between the Liberal Party and the Tory Party (cries of "Yes, there is"). "Well," replied the speaker, "let me try and prove it. There was a strike proceeding in the Rhondda and Aberdare districts. At the head of the company in the Aberdare Valley was a good, sound, respectable, hard-crusted old Tory, and at the head of the Cambrian Combine was a good, sound Liberal (A Voice: "He is an exception"). "Well," retorted Mr. Hardie, "is Sir Clifford Cory another exception? and also Mr. Cory Yeo, who has subscribed 2500 towards the ex- penses of the Liberal candidate who is trying to turn out Mr. John Williams, the miners' candidate?" (Voices: "He is a Socialist*. We agree with Labour but not with Socialism"). "You don't understand Liberalism or Social- ism," was Mr. Harclia's retort. The Liberal colliery owner did not pay any higher wages than the Tory colliery owner, and the lktter did not oppress them one bit the less than a Liberal owner (Voices: "Politics, please"). Both the Liberal and Tory Governments when in office were more concerned with the pro- tection of property than thay were about the protection of human life (cries of ''No" and "Yes"). Largo numbers of police and soldiers had been sent to the Rhondda and Aberdare Valleys to protect thp property of the colliery owners—(A Voice: "Yes, in our interest")- and to protect "blacklegs" when they went to take the places of the men who were on strike. He did not object tc property being- protected, and he was against war in any shape or form, including rioting, looting, and window-smash- ing ("So is the Liberal Party"). The lives of th workmen were of as much importance as the colliery property (cheers). Let them apply to the Government for a sum of money equal to that spent in guarding the imported labour- ers, to help the men, and see what answer they would get. The difficulty was that the working class had been so long befogged by party poli- tics. So long as the Liberals and Tories kept them divided in two hostile camps, the property owner and the sweater of labour were safe (cheers). Asked if the Socialists of the Rhondda did not try to bring a candidate out against Mabon, Mr. Hardie replied that the idea was conceived by a number of irresponsible people, and the moment he heard of it he wrote to the mem- bers of the I.L.P. in the Rhondda Valley, and in fact went np there so as to prevent anything of the kind taking place (cheers).

CARRERAS, LIMITED. Mr. Bernhard Baron (managing director), presiding at the annual meeting of Carreras, Ltd., -at City-road, London, welcomed the shareholders to their new home, and congratu- lated them on latt year's business. The avail- able balance for distribution, after writing off all advertising for the year, and providing for all depreciation, bad debts, and so forth, was £ 52,060. From that amount they had decided to pay a dividend for the period of 15 months at the rate of 10 per cent., which was a little higher than last year; to put £10,000 to reserve fund, making £ 18,000 in all, and to carry forward £ 25,425. The figures before them were all the more remarkable when they remembered the difficulties with which they had to contend in their business, on account of the 1909 Budget, under which they had to pay an extra duty of Bd. per lb. from the 29th April, 1909. They took the strong stand of not increasing the prices of their tobacco?; but .tried instead to increase t,h,pio",trAde and he „wis Jf0 Import that the sales of their fcnowtied Craven' Mixture, Bidck Cat Mixture," atid other tobaccos had increase#) brtti at, home and abroad.
