■ I PORT PROSPECTS. TN view of the gratifying improvement which has been recently recorded in the trade of the port, the article in an- other column from Mr. John, Rees, deal- ing with our harbour prospects possesses a special interest. Speaking with full knowledge and after years of experience as Superintendent, Mr. Rees takes a very sanguine view of the future of the port, his optimism having been j strengthened by the success of the Carreg Fach scheme which was carried cut under his direction. We agree with Mr. Rees that while there are obvious limitations to what can be accomplshed by the local docks, yet there is no reason why a much j larger trade should not be done, both at llanelly and Burry Port. The improve- ment in the channel should attract larger vessels to make regular use of the two ports for coal shipping, and the require- stents cf the local works in the shape of pig iron, pit props, etc., ought to mean an eqiially regular import trade. As Mr. -le0s points out, Llanelly is a perfectly Ago and expeditious port for vessels up .s Nrt for vesse l s up to 1,.300 tons, and on the higher tides, vessels carrying 2,500 tons can be effi- oiently dealt with. So far as equipment is concerned, the North Dock holds an enviable record, and this has been fully maintained during the present "boom." There is one handicap, however, of which Mr. Roes makes no mention. We refer to the railway rates which in many in- stances, work detrimentally to Llanelly and in favour of Swansea. This is an anomaly which the new Trust should tackle without delay. LLANELLY AND THE EISTEDDFOD. I I AS not the time come to renew j I Llanelly's application for the f?l-Iti-ii2,1 Eisteddfod ? We were too la t < qw the 1920 festival, Barry having en- tered the field long before us. Let it not be said that we were too la to for the 1922 eisteddfod. Already several towns are moving in the matter, and this week Ammanford, whose choir gained such a glorious ïictory at Corwen last month, decided to make a bid for the 1922 meet- ing. Llanelly has an overwhelming claim for a return visit from the Eisteddfod. but if this claim is not put forward, it will avail us nothing. We trust, there- fore, that the Mayor will take up the matter at once and call a towr_-i meeting. The two national eisteddfodau held in IAanolly, by common consent, were the most successful ever held under the auspices of the National Association, and there is no reason why the results achieved on those two occasions should not be equalled and indeed, surpassed in 1922. But immediate action is necessary and if Llanelly's application is to ba successful, time must be taken by the forelock. RATS I A Leaflet was issued on Thursday by the Board of Agriculture suggesting: jhat, with a view to inaugurating an ef- fective campaign against rats before the winter sets in, a. "rat week" should be irranged by every local authority. The iveek from October 20th to 27th is sug- gested as being most suitable. It is pro- posed that village committees should indertake the voluntary laying of bait tnd arrange trapping and ferreting luring the week,prizes being given for the arg&st number of rats accounted for rithin a given area. A rat campaign in Llanelly is long perdue, and a special responsibility rests tpon th<> Corporation in regard to it. Jerious complaints have been made for rears about the plague of rats in the tfarket which the Corporation as owners f the market have taken no steps to deal rith. Unfortunately, the mischief is not onfined to the market, because the rats arry their warfare into the surrounding breets, causing great damage to pro- erty, foodstuffs, etc., in Stepney street, lowell street, and Market street. Trades- men in the centre of the town are heavily ated and they have a right to ask that bey should be protected from the depre- ations of rats which are allowed un- hecked to batten and breed on Corpor- tion property. N UNDEMocnATlC CORPORATION. ref€rred in a recent issue to the ?i-thcomlug mun?p? elections and *• expressed the hope that the Corporation would retire en bloc, so that all the mem- bers would be provided with an opportun- ity of securing a renewal of the confid- ence of the ratepayers. Judging from the statement of the Town Clerk on Mon- day, however, it looks as though only one-third of the members will retire. In deciding to stick to their seats, the other two-thirds are, of course, acting quite within their rights. Legally they re in an unassailable position, but we feel strongly that they would be showing a more democratic spirit, and consulting their own self respect by handing in their resignations, so that they may ask cncc again for the suffrages of the bur- gesses. There has been no election for ijive years,' during which time several councillors have been co-opted without having secured the approval of the rate- payers in any way. This is not satis- factory to them or to the ratepayers. It is of the very essence of municipal ef- ficiency that each member should have behind him the moral and material sup- port of the electorate. It has not been possible to secure this during the war period. Now, however, that the elections are to take place as usual, no councillor or alderman should retain his seat on a mere technicality. Judging by the dis- cussion on Monday, it has been reserved for Lady Howard to teach her colleagues the A.B.C. of democratic government, and that the lessen is not to the liking of some of them.

CORPORATION OF LLANELLY. ———. WATERWORKS. Urgent Notice to Consumers. THE CORPORATION again desire to call the attention of all Consumers TO THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF FURTHER ECONOMISING in the use of WATER. Although there have recently been some falls of rain, the supply of Water at the Reservoirs HAS NOT been in- creased and the Corporation fear, that unless there is a subtantial fall of rain within the next few day, and the daily consumption considerably decreased, it will be necessary at the end of next week to cutoff the supply to each of the works. The Corporation therefore make a. FURTHER SPECIAL APPEAL to all Consumers to cut down waste and un- necessary use of water to an absolute minimum. All defects in pipes and fit- tings must be reported to the Borough Engineer immediately otherwise proceed- ings will be taken. The use of Hose Pipes in gardens is prohibited. HENRY W. SPOWART, Town Hall, Town Clerk. 5th September, 1919.

Foremen's Protest. OBJECTIONS TO THE JOINT INDUSTRIAL BILL. A meeting under the auspices of the Engineering and Allied Trades was held at the Y.M.C.A. Buildings on Wednesday evening for the purpose of protesting against the Joint Industrial Bill, which, it is contended, will seriously affect the position of managers and foremen. The chair was taken by Mr. James Easton, of Sunderland, a foreman in a large shipbuilding yard in the North of England. He very lucidly put forward the aims of an association which has worked so effectively in the ranks of both the employees and employers. The meeting was-thon addressed by the general secretary, Mr. J. G. Longstaff, Darlington, who pointed out that whilst the trades unionists on the one side and employers' federation on the other had big problems to face, they had, by their side strong combined unions; whilst the foremen, who had been buffers between the two for ages past had their pro- gramme in the making. "But," added Mr. Longstaff, "there have sprung up during the last two years this and two other associations which are now feder- ated with a membership of over 7,000. Greater responsibilities will rest on fore- men in the future, as a great saving would have to be brought about by the cutting down of the waste of labour, of plant, time, energy and material. What we ask for, and demand, at the present time is that we shall have the same rights and privileges as every other class of workman, so as to obtain unity of purpose and concert of action. The Government Bill is to regulate the num- ber of hours of employment and the mode of negotiation between employers and workpeople, and the setting up of coun- cils both for local and general purposes; but staff workers, such as foremen and managers are to be debarred. This is a thing we, as the Foremen's Association, are determined to fight to the bitter end, that we may have the same privileges as other classes." After his address, the speaker was ac- corded a hearty vote of thanks, and was promised the whole-hearted support of all present. At the close a branch of the Associa- tion was formed with Mr. W. T. Lucas (Stradcy Ladge), secretary, and a presi- dent, treasurer and committee.

Llanelly Its Place and Prospects. 0 (By J. Rees). j Reprinted from "the "Shipping World." The more marked the advantages of a small port to its particular district, the better its chances of success and pros- perity. In the case of Llanelly, the chief of t these are:—The demand of the large steel works of the town and district for material, in the shape of pig and scrap iron, which go to the manufacture of the tinplate bars, that, rolled out thin and coated with tin, make tinplates, the. staple industrial product of the town; the shipment of the tinplates coastwise, chiefly to Liverpool, to make up ocean cargoes; the import of timber for making the boxes in which the tinplates are packed, and of pitprops for the mines of the district; and the shipment, up to 1,000-2,000 ton cargoes, of coal, chiefly anthracite, and of the highest quality, from the western parts of the South Wales coalfield, the railway rate upon which to Llanelly is lower than, to any other port. Otherwise, there are large and important home demands, which can be met in the cheapest way at the Llan- I elly docks. v I Effect of the War. Under normal conditions, carriage by water is cheaper than by rail, but the War has temporarily upset this ruling economic consideration, as it has very many others. The requisitioning of ton- ) nage for war purposes has meant that j nearly all traffic during the war period has been railborne and the port, in con- sequence, has been heavily hit. But with the release of the coasting tonnage left, j and the provision of fresh to take the place of that lost, the old and natural conditions in favour of water carriage will be restored, and the port gradually regain, and increase, its trade. Llanelly's Advantage. Llanelly is less favourably situated sea- ward than Swansea. Unless it paid bet- ter, a vessel would go to Swansea. It pays better, however, to go to Llanelly in dealing with traffic in the direction noted. It does not in others, and Swansea has its natural and legitimate field of action in them. The coming trade will be ample for both. But in Llanelly's special field, it pays better, that is, on anything like a largo scale, only by taking into ac- count, as should be done, the profits upon the business of a voyage frorff point of origin of a cargo to its destination. A Good Suggestion. I In order to make it possible to work out this wider and more profitable out- look in practice, the owners of the cargo, imported or exported, should also be the owners cf the ship, or at any rate, hold such an interest in Llanelly-owned boats as would give them the first call in their charterings. A start at this has already been made in the case of coal, very much I to the benefit of the port, and, one would naturally presume, the profit and benefit j also of those of its users who are follow- ing this line of action. The steel people may find it worth while following roit. They can command steady inward cargoes for their works, and there is always an assured return cargo of coal available. The True Commercial Aim. There is another point that may be worth considering at the present junc- ture. The true commercial aim is to reap the profits in the whole sequence of the manufacturing operations of an article. In the case of tinplates, this has been re- cognized, and to great advantage, for the tinplate and steel interests are already closely allied, if not the same, but the pig-iron has to be produced elsewhere, and the profit of its making lost—as well as its carriage to Llanelly added to manu- facturing costs. Blast Furnaces. At different times projects for the es- tablishment of blast furnaces tp produce the pig locally, for the use of the steel works, have been mooted, but the in- ability to deal with the most economical boat carrier, say of 3,000 tons, going isome considerable distance for the iron ore, together, in less degree, with the ab- ) sance of a good coking coal, have been too much for the maturing of the schemes. The possibilities of dealing economical- ly, by more frequent voyages in smaller boats to France, in bringing over the Lorraine ores, may alter the outlook in favour of blast furnaces at Llanelly, leaving only the coke problem to be faced. Iron ore imports would then, of course, take the place of those of pig-iron. I Post-war Prosperity. I Here, then, is a chance for one with a touch of organizing and co-ordinating genius to make his mark and money-and I the triennial election of Trustees, this month, will give him an early opportuni- ty of getting on the ruling port authority —the Harbour Trost. If he does no turn up, there is still ample justification in the less wide field for anticipation of excellent post-war j prosperity for the port and harbour. Safe and Expeditious Port. Mention has been made of its being less favourably situated on the Burry Etstuary than Swansea is with the deeper I water of its bay. Whilst this is relative- ly true, Llanelly is, nevertheless, a per- II fectly safe and expeditious port for ves- sels up to 800 or 1,000 tons on nearly all the tides of the year. On higher tides, I vessels up to 2,000 tons can come and go with ease and safety. I An old standing detriment, lack of sufficient depth of water in a short stretch I of channel leading from the Estuarialone j to those of the three docks of the port, has been wholly done away with as the I result of the maturing to complete suc- I CetS, during the period of the War, of a scheme of tidal training undertaken by' the Trustees, and which took six years to carry out. I Improved Channel. The whole channel from sea is excel- lently lighted, the last finish being about to be given the system by the recent de- cision to place a leading light on the Burry Holmes, the eastern and channel side of the entrance from the Bristol Channel. This has been a matter dis- cussed for many years, and a new kind of light has now made it practicable. Llanelly has thus excellent prospects. Its waterway is good and safe, within the demands of a good coasting port, a fact proved by the clock-like regularity with which the regular coasting traders, to Liverpool and elsewhere, have run for many years. It needs "go" to carry out fully, and this should not be lacking, for the Borough motto, "Onward, Llanelly," re- presents the spirit of its cheery and kind-hearted people.

I TOOK TOO MUCH SPIRITS. I Before Mr. R. Guest yesterday, Patrick Cann, no fixed abode, was charged with being drunk and incapable in Station road, Burry Port, on Thursday. A police officer stated that at about 9.5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 4th, he found' defendant lying on the pavement ink Station road, Burry Port, fast asleepl., Witness woke him up and saw that he was helplessly drunk, and with the assist- ance of a civilian, escorted him to the Police Station. Defendant, who pleaded guilty, said he was not in the habit of drinking to oxcess, as his head wa,s easily affected, he having been gassed in France; but on the night in question he was sorry to say, he took too great a quantity of spirits. A fine of 10s. was imposed, defendant being allowed a week in which to find the money.

HIS FATHER'S COFFIN. I "A young man whose father is in the Asylum wants to know if he contributes towards a club, which on the death of his father will pay him CS towards funeral expenses, whether he can use that money towards purchasing a coffin for him ?" was the question raised by the Rev. G. H. Roberts at a meeting of the Board of Guardians on Thursday. The Chairman: Yes. Mr. Roberts: He is not satisfied with the coffin that is generally supplied. The Chairman: He is at liberty to take the body away if he likes. Mr. Roberts: Thank you.

I Late Sir Stafford Howard .0 THE MEMORIAL PORTRAIT. Reference was made at a meeting of the Board of Guardians on Thursday by the Chairman (Mr. W. Y. Nevill) to the intention of placing a life-size painting oi the late Sir Stafford Howard in the Town Hall. He had spoken to the mem- bers of the Corporation on Monday, and they all agreed to join to give it to the town. It had been suggested to afford an opportunity of joining in this gift to members of other public bodies and private friends and those who appreciated all the late Sir Stafford Howard had done for Llanelly (applause) Arrangements would be made for the painting to be presented and unveiled at the Town Hall at an early date. Lady Howard: I don't think it is fair as my husband did not sit on the Guard- ians. The Chairman: That is not the way we look at it. We take into consideration the services he has rendered to the town. $In reply to a question, the Chairman said that all contributions would be voluntary.

I :fj  { I V :'t ] I ?S -S??'?.  21 I Mr. A. Carpenter. (from photo). I I No More Backaches Certain Relief in 24 Hours I Does it make you think—when you wake up with a headache and a nasty j taste in your mouth ? When you start the day as tired as when you finish ? When you get those stabbing pains in the back ? When your arms and legs ache ? When you feel irritable and depressed? All these mean kidney troubles, and kidney troubles demand a kidney re- medy; not one which affects the bowels —but one that goes straight to the kidneys and bladder. For all these painful symptoms and for the most stubborn cases of rheu- matism, gout, sciatica, lumbago, gravel bladder inflammation, and Bright's Disease—there is one sure and safe remedy-De Witt's Kidney and Blad- der Pills. Read what others say about them. Mr. Albert Carpenter, of 17, I Lambeth-walk, Westminster, S.W., says:— "My kidneys and bladder were weak from childhood, and time after time I was ill and often in hospital with rheu- matism. In March, 1912, I was in a very critical- condition with rheumatic fever, when a small box of De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills was given to my mother. I started taking them, and in two days I could move about again. T continued the treatment, and after six weeks I returned to work and have continued ever since. I can lift and handle half a hundred-weight of metal with ease, and without any traces of my old pain." This letter was writ- ten in 1912. Seven years later Mr. Carpenter wrote confirming his pre- vious testimonial. He says:—"I have recommended De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills to many people—some of them very bad cases—and I have never known them fail." De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills cure all complaints g of the kidney and bladder by removing 1 the cause—the poisonous uric acid- a right out of the blood through the | bladder.

I Sporting Gossip I I LLANELLY v. TON PENTRE. I I Scarlets Start Well. I I Two thousand spectators witnessed a good game at Ton Pentre on Saturday, and after a keen struggle neither team succeeded in finding the net. The "Sos- pans" deserve the congratulations of all local sportsmen for their excellent per- formance in bringing away from the Rhondda that coveted point. Ton Pentre, like all teams have a reputation for something or other, and it has been their proud boast that they are the "toughest nut in Wales to crack on their own ground." Assisted by a number of star men they tried conclusions with the Sos- panites in the Southern League competi- tion, and were confident of success. At the last moment a change had to be made in the front line of the Scarlets owing to the inability of Crisp, an amateur who hails from Llanidloes, to play. This necessitated the introduction of an amateur named Jimmy Jones to occupy the position on the left wing, and he fully justified the confidence reposed in him. Lost Tempers v Towards the end of the game the Ton Pentre men were rather disappointed (to say the least of it) in failing to beat the "Sospans," and unfortunately some of them lost their tempers. Had it not been for the use of the "iron hand" by the referee (Mr. Batty) the consequences might have been serious. Such a display of lack of self-control is regrettable and it speaks volumes for the sportsmanship of the Ton men. Perhaps it would be wise to leave the matter drop at that. Luck I A writer in a daily who witnessed the match states that Ton Pentre would have won the match were they lucky. He also admits that Llanelly were decidedly un- I' lucky in not scoring on many occasions. I venture to ask my friend what would have happened if Llanelly were lucky ? Return Match to-day. At Halfway this afternoon the return match will be played, and I trust that the feeling which existed in Ton Pentre will not be repeated. Ton Pentre have only themselves to blame for it, and I am sure I shall be voicing the sentiments of all local sportsmen when stating "Let the best team win." It is to be hoped that there will be a record gate to assist the directors in re- ducing that bugbear of a debt. Chepstow v. Llanelly. Chepstow will be the visitors at Half- way en Tuesday, under the Welsh League. This will he the opening match for the Scarlets in the Welsh tourney and their progress in this competition will be followed with interest. In the season 1913-14, they proved the cham- pions of the league, and I feel quite optimistic as to their chances this sea- son. Anyhow time will tell.

Education Committee. RESIGNATIONS OF TEACHERS. At the meeting of the Education Com- mittee on Thursday, Coun. J. L. Jones presiding, the Clerk reported that he had received seven letters from teachers ten- dering their resignations. These were from Mr. Fred Rees, Old road School; Miss Williams, Lakefield; Miss A. E. Daw, Old road; Miss David, New Dock; Miss Stallard and Miss Griffiths, New Dock. In the case of the first named, the Clerk read a letter in which ?>Ir. Rees stated that, having been the recipient of a grant from the Board of Education, it was his intention to continue his -studies at College. He asked that a place be kppt vacant for him, as he would be anxious to return to work under the local Education Committee. It was decided to keep a vacancy for Mr. Rees. I Transfer. An application was also received from Miss Henshaw, of Lakefield School, re- f. questing her transfer to Old road School, in place of Miss Daw. On the motion of Coun. M. Morgans, it was decided to grant the transfer. I Care of the Eyes. The Clerk read a letter from the Board of Education approving of the decision of the Committee to allow two half-days a week for the purposes of having child- ren's eyesight examined, the remunera- tion to be JE150 per annum. The Board also expressed a desire to learn the name of the surgeon appointed, the date on which appointed and the naturo of his duties, etc. It was, however, remarked that his services would not be needed until next year, and Coun. Jennings sug- I gested deferring the matter until March, r.. and this was agreed to. Tenders forr Materials. Ald. D. James Dayies said that he had been authorised to go through a number y of tenders which had been received from various firms, quoting prices for school materials, etc., and he found that the lowest tender was that of the Educational Supply Co., Cardiff, and moved that their tender be accepted, this being eventually decided upon.
