I WHO IS "R. CARMARDEN ? ) TO THE EDITOR OF the "welshman." I SIR,-Your correspondent Enquirer asks for information about R. Carmarden." at whose cost an edition of Cranmer's Bible was printed in 1566. He bad no connection with the Marquisate of Carmarthen (which was not granted till 1689), but was Richard Carmarden, Surveyor of the Customs to Queen Elizabeth, and father of another Richard Carmarthen, Surveyor of the Customs to Kine: Charles I. He was a notable inhabitant of the City of Lon- don, and doubtless derived his name from some ancestor who was born at Carmarthen, or was a celebrity there. Surnames derived from towns were very common in the Middle Ages, and may still be traced in such names as Bolton, Chester, Richmond, Stafford, and Yorke. Yours obediently. I R. E. J.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE" WELSHMAN." SIR,-In reply to "Enquirer's" question in your last issue, who R. Carmarden was, whose name appears on the frontispiece of a copy of Cranmer's version of the Bible, printed at Rouen, 1566, the most likely person, I would suggest, would be Dr Richard Davies, of Abergwilly Palace, Bishop of St David's at that time. My reasons for thinking so are as follow :—The important part which he took in the publication of such works, viz., the translation of the Scriptures into Welsh and also the part he took in the version called the Bishop's Bible of 1568, under the supervision of Archbishop Parker; and the great efforts made to remove the see of St David's to the town of Carmarthen at that period. I may state Dr R. Davies's name as it appeared in connection with the Welsh transla- tion was D. R. D. M., which stands for Dr Richard Davies Menevensis (St David's); but by looking over his biography, I find he was a man of great learning, and in 1550 was presented by King Edward VI. to the vicarage of Burnham and the rectory of Maidsmorton, in Buckinghamshire, but on the accession of Queen Mary, he lost his prefer- ments, and had to flee to the- Continent, suffering great poverty in the course of three years. tie so mastered the French language as to be able to exercise his ministry in that language. He conse- quently obtained a cure, which afforded him a comfortable living. On the death of Mary he re- turned to this country, and was appointed to the see of St Asaph, January 31st, 1560; translated to St David's, May 21st, 1561; and died at Abergwilly Palace, November 7th, 1581. The fact of the copy of Cranmer's version of the Bible referred to as printed at Rouen, and also of Dr R. Davies's ministry in France, together with what has already been stated, greatly supports my suggestion that it was Dr R. Davies, whose life's work was the revising and translating of several parts of the Bible. Yours, etc., GERALD DE BARRI. P.S.—Carmarthen is given as Caermarden in Speed's map of 1610. [We had already thought of Dr Richard Davies, but the question may be now considered settled by the letter of our correspondent, R. E. J. given above.

I CARMARTHEN VOLUNTEERS.-A COR- RECTION. I TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHIAN." SIR,-Allow me to inform you that there is no truth in the report which appeared in your last week's issue—that I have been appointed sergeant- instructor of the Carmarthen detachment during the absence of Sergeant-Instructor Poole in South Africa. I have been given to understand that each orderly sergeant is supposed to attend in their turn to instruct the men of H and I Companies. Thanking you in anticipation, I am, yours faithfully, I A. Davies, Colour-sergeant.

I LAUGHARNE COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION. I TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." s,R,-wiil you kindly allow me to correct a few mistakes which appeared in your report of the Laugharne division of the County Council election. I. I am not a Radical, neither did I come out as such, as your reporter would have known had he been at the meeting, held in the Town-hall, on Thursday, March 7th. 2. I am not 47 years of age; I was born on Feb. 12th. 18;)8. 3. I do not owe any part of my education to the nation. I was never in a National School. I was at the Grammar School, Laugharne, and from there I went to Weston-super-Mare College, which was then under the priucipalship of the late Dr Nunn. I may add that I am well acquainted with Working-Man. I am, etc., J. D. MORSE.

SAUNDERSFOOT PARISH COUNCIL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE welshman." Sir,—There has been a great to-do about our little village and its Parish Council, and, perhaps, you would be good enough to allow me a little space to expound the views of some of the rate- payers. A poll was demanded (at the election), to which some people have taken exception. The fact is, the system of going by a show of bands is manifestly unfair when there are too many voters to be checked by the Chairman. Few people will dispute this, and, on this occasion, it is shrewdly suspected that more than one non-elector voted, and that many who did, voted more than the regulation fifteen times. There is quite a flutter in the dove cotes now, but this would soon subside were it only known that our drainage has been taken out of our hands (as at Fishguard). and will probably cost us more now than it would have done had it not been for the mere opposition of a certain section opposed to all drainage. Ask the Fisbguard people their opinion! All the Parish Council has to do now is to pay up when called upon, and try to look happy. Who is, or is not. on the Council at that time will not affect the bill. This is the vexing question. But again, there are many of us who would like to see the claws cut of those responsible for spoiling the beauties of our cemetery. We do not know where they will stop. As the French say, "The appetite comes with eating," and as a large number of trees which formed some of the chief beauties of the place, have been sold (this is a Utilitarian Age !) it is all the more necessary that we should have a Council who will keep unharmed the places within their control. Yours faithfully, VILLAGER. I

CONTEST BETWEEN BRITISH AND RUSSIANS THREATENED IN CHINA. A dispute which threatens to lead to serious consequences, has broken out in China between some British and Russian troops. The origin of the trouble lies in this fact, that the Russians obtained a concession from the Chinese Govern- ment embracing land which was already mort- gaged to British railway bondholders. On Fridav the English railway authorities put men to work to build a siding near the station. The Russians drove them off for trespassing on their own con- cession. The labourers who were roughly handled returned supported by several hundred British troops. The Russians responded by calling out their whole force, and prepared for battle. On seeing this the British desisted from their purpose of bringing back the labourers to work by force. General Barrow, commanding the English forces, and General Wogack. the commander of the Russian force, had a conference, and both sides agreed not to break the peace for twenty-four hours. A telegram in a New York paper says that Col. Campbell offered to withdraw the British troops from the disputed territory conditionally upon the Russian force also retiring, but the Russian com- manding officer declined to accede to the proposal. Un Monday, instructions from St. Petersburg were being anxiously awaited. Long trenches, 45ft. apart, were filled with troops, the British force outnumbering the Russians by twenty to one. Unless the instructions -from St. Petersburg should be conciliatory in tone, it was under- stood the Russian commander would attemnt to drive the British forces out of their strongly I entrenched position. Both sides seemed deter- i mined tv maintain their positions until com-1 pelled to move. We are further assured that there is danger of war between Russia and Japan. The latter nation has rights in Manchuria, and popular feeling is inflamed against Russia on account of the latter's aggresive policy in that province. At the Aberystwith Guardians' meeting on Monday, Dr. James in his report, referred to the gwylnos" or prayer meetings held for the dead in the house of sickness. It was only with much difficulty that he was able to prevent a prayer meeting being held in a two-roomed cottage where there bad been a fatal case of measles. Ministers of religion and public leaders could do much to help the doctors by discouraging these practices.

HAVERFOROWEST NOTES. j A man, named Moore, believed to be a pensioner from the Dockyard, was found drowned iu the river, near Higgon's Well, on Sunday morning last. An inquest was held on Monday, by the coroner, Mr H. J. E. Price. The account of the last meeting of the Neyland Urban District Council, appearing in the local papers, is read with much interest. Considering they have an old Harfat boy in the chair, we hope he will rule with a firm hand. I allow those talkative s-entlemen to speak on a motion once only." A member of our local body asked at a recent meeting, "what are we talking about." Suppose he had been at the Neyland meeting! The Governors of the Grammar School will probably sever their connection with the Central Welsh Board. Much correspondence seems to have taken place on the subject, and at a meeting held a few days ago it was decided to remain as at present for another year. The reasons of the proposed severance are (1) the delay in the publication of the Central Welsh Board results, as compared with the Oxford and Cambridge Board (2) the absence of any provision by the Central Welsh Board for the award of scholarships, and the exhibitions other than county (3) the fact that a considerable number of the boys are prepared for entrance at Oxford or Cambridge, and desire to take a qualifying entrance examination which the Central Welsh Board cannot provide. The Liberal Party failed in their attempt to make eight aldermen of their own choice at the annual meeting on Saturday. Three or four of their number cast one of their votes astray, with the result of Mr Mason, and Mr N. A. Roch getting an equal number. Without cconsidering political views, no one can deny that Sir Charles Philipps gave his casting vote to the most able man. Mr N. A. Roch is not a friend of the Haverfordwest ratepayer, and although many would have liked to have seen him not elected, it cannot be denied that he acts conscientiously when he, as chairman of the Main Roads Committee, fails to see why it costs X160 per, mile to maintain the main roads of the town. At the same time, he is a valuable public servant, and deserved more support from the Liberal section of the Council. 4;. Many people are at a loss to know why candidates defeated at an election should be made aldermen. At every triennial meeting we find men whom the ratepayers will not select chosen as aldermen. On Town Councils we find senior councillors and men of experience chosen as aldermen, but the Pembrokeshire County Council awards aldermanic seats for party services. The Haverfordwest magistrates deal very leniently with parents for not sending their children to school. A short time ago a parent gave as a reason for a boy not attending that the master punished the boy too severely. The case was adjourned for an investigation, and the assistant teacher appeared and produced the punishment book. This seemed to satisfy the magistrates, and although neither of the parents appeared to support the satement made by them, a fine of half-a-crown without costs was imposed. Little wonder the attendance is so low in Pembrokeshire, when we have such a lenient bench. < Mr Colin Rees Davies, solicitor, will'shortly leave the town to join his brother, Mr W. Rees Davies, Attorney- General of the Bahama Islands. It is believed Mr Colin Davies will join his brother in practice. There is much complaint about the gas in Haverford- west. Unless a new gas-holder is obtained, it is feared we shall be without the illuminating power of the present.

A COUGH CURE INDUSTRY. A CHAT WI I B MR VENO. STARTLING FACTS. HOW THE SUFFERING ARE CURED OF INFLUENZA, COUGHS, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA AND WHOOPING COUGH. Seeing on the walls of Manchester a large paster setting forth the merit of VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CUHE, the writer betook himself to the laboratory of the Veno Drug Co., for the purpose of having a feep b hind tl e sceues. Arriving at. 59, Ced.r Street, 1 was ushered into an office where the cick d t, pEwriters told me tbat this was a busy dtpdrtment. III a few minutes I was introduced to Mr VENO, a gntleman of medium height, el,tan shaved with a c trical appearance, but active, earnest and full of business My tale told, I was then shown the bot'hng aud labelling department, which was a model of eleaaline.-s.

Before the winter is over we expect to double the output." Is it your own formula, Mr VENO r" Yes, I have been a student of medicine all my life. I pride myatlf on having the most successful cough cure on the market, that accounts for the large sales. It differs very much from the common, svrupv mixtures so frequently sold. Veno's Lightning Cough Cure is a scientific remedy, and has recaived endorse- ment from many eminent men." What do you recommend it for? Coughs, bronchitis, asthma and influenza. Is is a splendid remedy for whooping cough in children, and seldom fails to stop an ordinary cough in one night; it fit! subdue influenza in 24 hours. DUtÍng the epidemic of influenza which raged throughout the Northern & Eastern portions of America in 1897, Veno's Lightning Cough Cure was the chief remedy used. Even physicians never hesitated to prescribe it." Do you ricommend it for consumptions." "In the first stages, Yes, but not in the 8St. It contains a preparation discovered in California by Dr. W. P. Gibbons, and which was found to be a specifio fcr bronchitis and weak lungs. By curing these ailments consumption is prevented." Mr Veno then turned up a folio containing hundreds of testimonials, mfiny of them speaking in the most flattering terms of the remedy. I admit, I never saw such a collection of testimoDials in my life." "I w ill give rou a couple of bottles of the Cough Core," said Mr Veno, take them home and when the occasion arises use them lilJd speak of the remedy as you find it."

CARMARTHEN TOWN NOTES. ) The Rev. S. W. Jeukias. vicar of Oxwich, was the preacher at the service at St. Peter's Church on Wednesday evening. Master William John James. Clynsiw, St Peter's, ,a pupil of Johnstown B->ar<i Soboo], has obtained the theory certificate in Pitman's shorthand. < The Rfv. Hugh Price Hughes. M A is still at Barry, and bopfd the rest will restore bim to health. He intends remaining some time longer. The stilus of the shop assistants and apprentices in Carmarthen is apparently on the down grade. Formerly, a tradesman always required •' young lady" assistants and apprentices, but now he is aatisned if he can get females." MrJ. Johnson Thomas, Pantycoed, Trelech, who -was for some time assistant master at the Old j College School, Bridge-street, has removed to Merthyr Tydfil. where he has secured an Appoint- ment in the local branch of Lloyd's Bank. The Gnard?ns. we imagined, had snfficien work in hand to appoint a master, matron, and relieving officer but as if that were not enough, tney have now, in addition, to appoint a nurse, and, in all probability, a porter. A Carmarthen Guardian is .an important personage just now. On Saturday morning last Mr J. Bancroft, one of his Majesty's inspector of schools, addressed a large number of the headmasters and mistresses and teachers of elementary schools in the district on the various points of the new code which required attention. it. The ladies' choir for the Carmarthen Eisteddfod, under Mr H. F. Ellingford, F.R.C.O., organist at St. Peter's Carmarthen, had a successful beginning in the Assembly Rooms on Tuesday evening last, about thirty being present. The number required is fifty, and it is hoped that at the next practice on Thursday evening, the requisite addition will be present. The medical profession in Carmarthen has re- ceived an addition in the person of Dr. Naunton Davies, who has taken up his residence in Penllwyn Park, and is, we learn, working up a general practice there. He is the author of several sporting novels, The Secret of the Hollow Tree," -&C., and it is to be hoped his professional duties will not interfere with the continuance of his literary productions. There was an unexpectedly large number of -recruits for the Carmarthenshire Artillery Militia on Church parade on Sunday last, the enlistments having increased by over fifty during the week. Although some of them are exceedingly young, they presented a very good appearance on their march to and from St. Peter's Church, headed by the band under Bandmaster Larkin. Captain Kennedy and Captain and Adjutant Molesworth i -were in attendance. At the County Council meeting on Saturday, there was much dissatisfaction among some -members at not being appointed upon one com- mittee, while others were elected on two, and even -four. Now, this is manifestly unfair, and Mr Jones, Conwil Caio, let the Council know it. All the committees were re-appointed, with but few alterations—a procedure with which many don't agree. A change in their constitution id not un- ¡ desirable, and it would have been better to have seen the ersonnel of some of the committees altered. Every member has a right to participate in committee work, and why some persons should I be re-appointed year after year-especially when their ability is not of the highest order-while others are not given a chance, passes compre- hension. The attractions provided for townspeople and -visitors to Carmarthen on Easter-Monday are of an elaborate character, and it is to be hoped adverse weather will not mitigate the success of the gathering. In addition to bicycle races and other j sports, which in an ordinary way would be of themselves sufficient for an afternoon's programme, the committee have gone to the additional expense of securing the services of Miss Maude Brooks, the Parachute Queen, and Mons. Auguste E. Gaudron, the King of Balloonists (from the Alexandra Palace, London), to give a grand balloon ascent and graceful and daring parachute drop from the clouds, 6,000 feet high, to the earth. • There is a prospect of good entries for the bicycle races, the new cement track being ac- knowledged by experts as one of the best in the kingdom, and some of the leading cyclists in England and Wales are certain to be amongst the competitors. The up-to-date management which characterises these gatherings in Carmarthen being recognised among racing men, there is an additinnal incentive to them to visit Carmarthen. The parachutists are sure to attract an enormous crowd to witness their performance, so we may look to have a very big day. Cheap excursions willlbe run from all parts of South Wales. The Guardians of Carmarthen Union are having a perfectly wearying time just now, what with the numerous candidates for office canvassing them, and the friends of candidates bringing personal and other influences to bear to secure their votes for the person in whom they are interested. A good deal of this trouble might have been avoided had the Guardians made a stipulation that canvassing would disqualify, but for the sake of gratifying their selt-pride, they were prepared to bear with a little. When, however, it comes to over thirty applicants for one office, and more than forty for another, it seems as if a hornet's nest had been raised about their heads. « We hope the Guardians, in making the appoint- ments, will exercise the power given to them in the best interests of the poor and the ratepayers, and we trust the latter will keep their eyes upon their representatives, and store in their memories the course they follow. It is a pity one is required to point out the necessity of this being done, but the Guardians have shown so little backbone lately that they need a good deal of bracing up by public opinion in the carrying out of their duties. Let the best man be a local person or a stranger, it is the best man-the one with the greatest capability for carrying out the work of Master of the Workhouse, who is required in that office. For the relieving-oiffcership, the chief quali- fication is honesty. A man who will rob the poor is deserving of the utmost rigour of the law, and no amount of local influence ought to stand in the way of his getting his deserts. An honest and kindly man is required for the post, so that the orders of the Board may be faithfully carried out with the least injury to the feelings of the poor, and the person who gives promise of best doing this is the man the Guardians should endeavour to secure, apart from local pressure in favour of either one or other of the candidates. A farcical comedy, The Balloon," in three acts, by J. H. Darnley and G. Manville Fenn, is to be produced in the Assembly Rooms on Easter- Monday, by local performers, and as the caste includes some of our best-known artistes, a thoroughly good representation may be expected. We understand the proceeds go to the funds of St. Peter's Club and Institute, and trust that a good sum will be realised. The dramatis personce is as follows:-Doctor Glynn, Mr H. Brunei White: Captain Cameron. Mr Ernest Collier Mr Aubrey Fitz-John. Mr W. Gower Griffiths; Doctor Boyton. Mr Fred Brigstocke David (the Doctor's Boy), Mr H. Reeves; P. C. Todd, Mr Bartlett; Grace Wentworth, Miss Irene White; Miss Vere, Miss Jennie Richards; Mrs. Rippingdale, Mrs. James Davies; and Mrs. Theresa Fitz-John, Mrs W. Gower Griffiths. Seats may be booked at Mr Colby Evans. It would appear from a letter received by Mr B. Jones, Priory-street Foundry, that the Volunteers from Carmarthen, are on their way home, and may be expected to arrive before Easter, or, at any rate, soon after, as he fixed his next address at Brecon, while waiting for discharge." The letter containing tne intimation is from Private Edwin Lewis, and is dated from Zuisfontein, near Bethulie, February 12th. lu it the writer states •— I can tell you active service is a lot to go through in fact, more than we bargain for. I see M Williams, the watchmaker's son, is out here along with the Carmarthen Volunteers. They are in Johannesburg at the present. We came out to- gether on the same boat (the Greek), and I hope that we shall go back together. We are thinking of sailing on the 9th of March, or a little later. Any rate. I expect to be in Carmarthen at Easter, if all goes well. We are having an inspection of clothing, of rifles, and other things, and if there is any short, we have got to have them before leaving South Africa to go home respectable. You see we have been on the way home since the end of October, the same time as the C. I. V .'s but to I our luck we came to Springfontein. We had to stop there to garrision that place, along with the East Lancashire Militia they were expecting an I attack from the Boers." The letter refers to the writer's experiences, including a narrow escape from capture, and concludes "I see by the papers that there is a lot more Volunteers coming out here to take our positions. Well, I pity them, I can assure you; but there is one thing to be said, they won't have the hardships that the rest of us Volunteers have had."

THE TIVYSIOE HUNT RACES. This fixture was held on the old Cilast course, near Boncath, on Wednesday last. In consequence of the war it was last year abandoned, but its resuscitation was viewed with delight, both by sporting enthusiasts and the countryside. It is generally considered a popular fixture, and in the past has been attended most satis- factorily. The attendance on Wednesday was below the standard, but an explanation may lie in the fact that the weather was bitterly cold, with a strong wind blowing from the north-east. The course was as usual free. It was not in very good condition, being rendered somewhat heavy by a recent fall of snow. The banks had been well beaten down, and were all firm and wide. There were close upon 40 entries, but the large majority failed to put in an appearance. In the Maiden Hurdle Race Plate there were nine entries, but only four ran. Eight entered for the Tally-Ho Selling Steeplechase Plate but four only ran. Out of eleven who signified their intention of competing in the Selling Hurdle Race Plate seven were absent. Ten entered for the Maiden Steeplechase Plate, but only five ran. There was some disappointment at so many absentees, but, nevertheless, some good racing was provided, and the spectators were highly pleased. It was an interesting day's sport. The officials were Stewards, Col. Newland, Mr F. Lort Phillips, Mr Morris Owen, and Capt. E. J. W. P. Pryse; judge, Mr W. V. H. Thomas starter, Col. J. R. Howell; clerk of the scales and stakeholder, Mr G' B. Bowen; clerk of the course and bon. sec., Mr W. F. Roch; auctioneer, Mr J. Evans.
