I A BOMBSHELL. I I Hewitt Dropped by I Swansea Town. The Swansea Town directors have pre- pared a bombsnell for their supporter. to-day, having decided to drop Hewitt. The fact that Nicholas, who replaces hiui, m a reliable cuJl-ba<;k does not (eay C3-griet ") minimise the folly of the I selection committee, for it haf been ap- parent to all th-3 r the defence has left no;lung t<) be desired. Why has Hewitt been dropped ? Is it a question of poor torm or does the position of captaincy dominate the #i* >ation ? If it it; a quest HI of choosing between Hewitt and Evan Jones, then the direc- tors have dropped the wrong man.

BREEZE IN COUNCIL. Interlude by Mr. D. Williams and Town Clerk. V There was some comedy at the end of the Swansea Council meeting on Thurs- day over an item on the agenda with reference to the Burial Board minutes. It was stated that this item was unnoces- sary, since the Parks and Burial Grounds Committee's minutes had already been passed. Whereupon Mr. David Williams and the Town Clerk had "words" on the question of whether the functions of the Burial Board were vested in the Council or the committee. When the Town Clerk intervened in his speech, Mr. Williams asked him to have the decency to refrain from interrupting." I am only following your precedent," retorted the Town Clerk. I I challenge you to give an instance," said Mr. Williams. The Mayor intervened, and Mr. Wil- liams proceeded to search the minutes for evidence in support of a contention that the Parks Conimitteee were allocating Singleton, whereas the whole Council had to decide this point, and would use some for burial purposes. THE ONLY HESOlUTION. But tho only Parks Committee minute referring to Singleton was this:— 1528.—Singleton.—Suggested ago of part of for Recreation Pnrpos.-The I Borough Estate Agont reported in con- nection with Part 2 of Minute No. 1511 of this committee, that he had not been able to come to any arrangement whereby football oould be played on a portion of the Singletota Estate. Re- solved that the chairman of the Estates Committee, together with the Borough Estate Agent and the Parks Superin- tendent, be asked to confer with Mr. Joseph Harris and the tenant with a view to f-ome arrangement being arrived ai. The Mayor thereupon said be must rule Mr. Williams out of order. The minute did not mention the cemetery, only the use of a portion of the estate for recrea- tion. Besides, the minute had been already approved. ] Mr. Edward Harris queried whether Mr Williams oontended that burial and recreation were identical. (Laughter.) Mr. Williams: Tea, certainly! That is tho proposal of this Council, to have recreation and burial close together. The Mayor explained that he had allowed Mr. Williams to proceed because he thought lie might have a point to raiso THE AGENDA. Mr. Williams suggested that the agenda was made out in such a way tfcat the Town Clerk himself did not understand a Mr. Edward Harris: Is it not a fact I that the Parks Committee has had so I' many projects slaughtered and buried that '¡'he Burial Committee is the I best name for it? (Laughter.) The matter then dropped I

I LOCAL TRAWLERS. I I Proceeds to Sea Again.

At an early hour the South Dock the objective of the familiar group of feainen laden with the usual kit-bag, and it Was a constant procession of prodi- gals all the morning. BUSY DOCK. The South Dock basin looked curiously bustling after the period of stagnation it has passed through, and to slightly alter Ivipling it was nothing but Twenty d-d trawlers, blowing their d d syrens! Steam was up in almost every vessel, tackle roared and screeched through the blocks, and the perky ships rocked merrily in the clinit swell caused by one or the other, ready for sea, edging its way carefully from the congestion. The icehouse, with its twisting shoot, worked merrily, depositing the loads of iev necessary for the preservation of the fish caught. All of the vess-els were coaled quite early, and most of them were ready to proceed to sea. EARLY HITCH. There was an unexpected hitch in the Proceedings during the morning, how- over, on account of a rumour getting I abroad that there was some trouble among the men at Milford. The local branch of the Sailors' and Firemen's Cnion could throw no light on the matter beyond that the Swansea owners had not thought it advisable for any of the traw- lers to proceed to sea to-day, and that I Mr. Geo. Gunning, the secretary, had | procf^ded to Milford to adjust any mis- •nd" standing that might i'-v at over the terms. it was understood thai, in any event, all the local Ixiate would proceed to sea to-morrow (Saturday), and far from any of the local men being un- willing, it was stated that theresome difficulty in securing sufficient men to m'n the available trawlers. Later in the day the Leader was in- i formed that the trouble at Milford was now completely settled, and the trawlers will set sail on Saturday morning,

Although Hio fires of election enthu- su?m have not yet been kindled Ht NJtÙ qlliet propaganda on behalf of the vari- ous candidates has been proceeding for f 6Om days past. The door-step canvass j has been cut short by the cold nip, and those who have held meetings to advocate their cause have had a patient hearing. Apparently, there has been no vital is- SUEt to arouse public opinion. The ad- j dresses of the candidates, without ex- ception, promise reforms with due regard j to economy, whilst Labour is seeking to have a stronger representation on the C-ounci I NORTH WARD. In the North Ward the retiring mem. bers—Captain Walter E. Roes, J.P., and Mr. Jobii Nlorris-will be opposed by Mr. W. P. Barry, the nominee of the local  branch of the Welsh National Federation I of Discharged and Demobilised Soldiers and Sailors; Mr. T. G. Davies, the nomi- ) nee of the Liberal Association ;and Mr. D. Bowen, the nominee of the Trades and Labour Council. I SOUTH WARD. I In the South Ward the retiring mem- I bers—Messrs. Matthew Arnold and Dan ) Harry, J.P.-will be opposed by Mr. Ree? j i IT. Ree-s, nominee of the local branch of I the D. and D.S. and S.F.; and Mr. H- I Jenkins, nominee of the Trades and Lab- j our Council. I SOLDIERS' CANDIDATES. Messrs. Barry and ltees, the soldiers' representatives, promise in their addre-m which appears in the advertisement col- iimns, to make the town of Neath, if re- turned, a fit place for all to live in." llieir programme covers a general ground j but their foremost claim is to guard tht- interests of the widows and orphans of fallen comrades, and obtain sympathetic I treatment towards disabled soldiers and } sailors. They are both strong men, and having helped to drive the Huns across I the Rhine, they have returned to civil life maimed in limb, but strong in their en- 1 deavour to see that the hero of yester- day is not rlie forgotten of to-dn-f. ALLOTMENT QUESTIONS. I The Neath Allotment and Cottage Gar- I den A*so* iation has taken an active part I' in the propaganda, and all the candi- dates have been circularised with a num- ber of questions dealing with the allot- ment movement. Affirmative replies ( han' )?en icceived from them all. and I to the present constitution of the Coun- cil there is every prospect of ympat;'htJ J and pructical treatment. The most im- { portant promise extracted is the support j for adequate provision being made for I allotments in the housing and town plan- ning scheme, and also to support the creation of a special Government depart- ment for allotments, the right of appeal by allotment holders to such department on any matters about which they are ag- grieved. I On the eve of the contest it is safe to predict a record poll, and the fight for the four seats on the Council will be keen I I and close.
