Can you tell mo where I come in? Why should I have more courage than you have? "DISGUSTED.—No, I will not publish what you «ay about Sir J. D. Rees. If you had spoken years ago there might have been something to say. I was then where you are now. "L.S."—You are unintelligible to, me. That is all.

ABOFT PUBLIO OBLIGATIONS. I am deeply interested in many towns and in their affairs and I would help them if I could, but what is one individual's efforts on behalf of a whole community or a series of communities? The ways in which towns come into existence and grow are very curious. There may be a river and a shallow ford acrosa it. Many paths from different parts may meet together at this ford. Somebody Jbuikls a public house—perhaps a black- smith. He also starts a smithy. Then a carpenter builds a workshop. Next a grocer comes and opens a shop, and he is followed by others. The inhabitants in- crease in number. A church, a chapel, and a school are built. Then a bridge is erected over the river. The town slowly grows until it even has a policeman. Everybody does just what he thinks is best for himself and' there is no public life worth mentioning and nobody recognises any public obligations. As growth goes on the need developes for streets, footpaths, public lights, scavenging, water supplies, drainage, byelaws. markets, railways, magistrates, and local governing bodies. Just now in many parts of this district the people in towns are crying out either for new roads cr for old roads to be kept in better repair. Everybody seems to think that Providence ought to have made roads at the same time as lakes and rivers were made. People who use roads for their own advantage and profit do not think that they ought to pay for their maintenance. Just now in Merionethshire, Montgomery- shire, and Cardiganshire there is serious trouble about roads—the same sort of trouble that there is in every growing town. Roads are not the only things there is trouble about. There is nothing more extraordinary than the way the inhabitants' of a town disregard their own collective interests. To see the way many towns are mis- managed it might be thought that the inhabitants generally were lunatics or imbeciles. They are merely blind. I am not going to give instances, but the gen- eral attitude is that of the person who thinks he has got rid of an evil when he has put it in the street, or in the back- yard, or has foisted it upon his neighbour, or has thrown it into the brook from which he draws the water he drinks! There is no greater or more urgent need as far as I can see than the need for in- struction in reference to the recognition of public obligations by individual citizens. In the old days when there were high- waymen and robbers who could raid a town, the inhabitants had a common bond, but now they leave everything to the other person and the results, especially in small towns, are pitiable. What shocks me most-it really is possible to. shock me—is to see the man who objects to drinking and smoking and theatres and football, sweeping all sorts of pestiferous filth into the gutters of the streets to the danger of the whole com- munity. The dirty beast. A manure heap would be too clean a bed for him. A person has no more right to defile the town in which he lives than he has a right to defile the grave of his mother or to debauch his own daughter. There aro public obligations which every individual ought to meet, and he who evades them or ignores them is worse than a traitor and ought to be hounded out of the community in which he has the im- pffrtinence to live. Nobody has any more right to dwell in a town for his own convenience and profit without meeting its obligations than he has a right to live in a house without paying rent, or to wear clothes which he ¡ has not paid for, or to attend entertain- ments without buying tickets. He who thinks that he can live in a town without meeting its obligations is either a fool or a mean cad who ought not to be allowed to live at all. NO DISGRACE. Captain Skeffington-Smyth, whoever he is, declared at a recent meeting that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not of Norman extraction; he must be a German Jew, for the name George was of German origin, and Da-vid was a Jew. I may add that Jesus Christ also was a Jew. Is it a disgrace to be a fellow-countryman of the Lord Jesus Christ? I think not. Mr Lloyd George is not a Jew, but that is a detail. PROGRESS. There has been a prize fight in America. Before the fight began the spectators sang hymns and a clergyman offered up a prayer. The fight ended in a draw. Things are evidently looking up in the religious world when hymns and prayers are part of the ceremony in a prize fight. Of course, this was in America. Many years ago, in this country, when the prize fight between Sayers and Heenan took place, a local clergyman went into a newspaper office and said: "Can you tell me which of those wretched men has won P" A DREAD. Suppose the Lords are defeated in the forthcoming election and women of the upper ten are no longer in a position to wear minever costumes, how sad it will be! Ah, yes, how sad MORE SUPPORT FOR TARIFF REFORM I see that the pawnbrokers in the country are in favour of tariff reform. I am not surprised. When food is dearer and work is scarcer the pawnbroking business will begin to look up. HIS NOTION. Conservative: But we propose to estab- lish the referendum, which means that the people will have a voice. Liberal Working Man: What I say is "re,fer-and-end-um" straight off and no more bother about it. TEE FUTURE PRIME MINISTER. Here is a paragraph from a London Conservative paper: Five guineas per cent. was quoted at Lloyd's on an insur- ance against Mr. Lloyd George teing Prime Minister within the next six months." Six months are too short a period. I have good authority for the fact that I long ago believed he would be Prime Minister, but give him another year or two. A MISUNDERSTANDING. A Perfidious Welshman—there is at least one in the country-has written his own biography and has shown quite plainly what a skunk he is. A number of quite innocent persons, who do not recognise that the book is a biography, are either writing to contradict the book or are disclaiming having written the book itself. The Perfidious Welshman has doubtless told the truth about himself and is very properly ashamed. GRATITUDE. I am deeply grateful to Sir J. D. Rees for demonstrating so conspicuously to the House of Commons and to the whole country by his last silly act of moving the adjournment of the House how com- pletely right we all were down here in the estimate that was formed of him in the early days when cups of tea were on offer and were in some cases respectfully declined. Go to Flint, will he? Well, he will find Flint flinty, and that will be the last spark of him as far as Wales is concerned. LAST SATURDAY'S MUNICIPAL ELECTION. I see by the state of the poll on Satur- day, at Abarystwyth, that Mr. Bert Jones would not wash as an Aberystwyth Town Councillor. ABOUT NATURE. The other day, the following advertise- ment appeared in a London newspaper:- PARENTS, I beseech you to teach Jj, your children that to be unselfish and to do good is the only way of keeping near to God. I pray you also to tell them of the beauty and holiness of Nature. I wonder what is the state of mind of the person who paid for the insertion of this advertisement? Is God far frcm children who have neither learnt to be unselfish nor to do good? I think not. It is all very well to advise people to be unselfish and to do good, but people who look at nature do not find unselfishness and there apparently is no such thing in nature as doing good. Whenever I have been unselfish, I find it is the sharks who begin to prey upon me, and when I try to do good I generally find that I do not know what is good. Some of my greatest mistakes have been made in trying to do good. As for the beauty and holiness of nature, I can see some of the beauty and mystery in nature, but holiness is hard to find where one thing remorselessly preys on another and where there is no inter- vention, however cruel the processes may be. The man who took his clothes off and said to the starring tiger, "here is food for you," might be unselfish, but that is noT what ordinary people would call his act. What a lot of crudity of many sorts there is in the foregoing small advertise- ment. OBSERVATIONS. A person may achieve greater renown by the accidental discovery of a fact than by a life of service and self-sacrifice. It is only necessary for a person to become rich in order for him to ascertain how many poor relations he has. A bat, a swallow, a mole, or worm knows more about existence than all the univer- sities can teach it. The delights and gratifications I most long for would cost nobody anything. The fact that I have spent about twenty- five years of my life in sleep dees not cause me disquietude. I refuse to attribute to God qualities which I would be ashamed to possess myself. Nothing is more common than for men to laugh at the sorrows and terrors of their childhood. Are the sorrows and terrors, of old age more real than these of childhood? I would rather live and die in misery than find peace at the cost of those whom I love. I have borne what there was to bear without flinching in this life, and I will face what there is to face without flinching in the world to come. I want to write what I think. I do not care a great deal about what people think of what I write. I WONDER. I wonder if your moods and mine are one- If what you think and feel I think and feel. In ways and tc degrees no words can tell- I think they are, but how can we convey Each to each what words would drive away: Silence is more than speech to souls akin. OF COURSE NOT. We do not always say just what we think Nor do we always think just what we say. We know truth has rough edges and we shrink From what the tittle-tattlers think and say. IRELAND'S WAY OFT. As Conservatives find it difficult to pro- vid the necessary money to fight Liberal seats, I suggest that Mr Redmond should lend the Conservative Party a few hundred thousand dollars which he brought from America. This strikes me as a very good idea, and it is so simple! BEREAVED. Alas, alas, my love is dead; My love is dead, is dead, is dead! What is there more that can be said ? My love is dead, my love is dead! A JOB. They have been trying to find out at Ruthin what is-brandy. Well, I do not know. A person has been fined at Ruthin for selling as brandy something that was not brandy, but it was admitted by the Bench that the defendant was quite honest and had done nothing whatever that was wrong and that what was sold really was brandy after all. The law is a hass. The Coast. J.G. —^ncgnam jiMn.yn WI.

ABERYSTWYTH. Obituary.—The death 'took place on Thursday of last week at Saron, Llan- geler, of P.C. J. T. Enoch. Deceased, who was twenty-six years of age, joined the Cardiganshire Constabulary in October, 1905, and was stationed at Aber- ystwyth.

Fo-otball.-Tlie first match in con- nection with the Junior League took place on Wednesday afternoon. The con- testants were the College 'Reserves and the Ystwyth R,overs, the latter team being composed of members of the Liberal Club. The students, who formed the heavier team, played a super- ior game throughout, and at the interval led by one goal to, nil. M. Williams was the scorer. For a time after the restart, play was more or less in the Rovers' half, and Williams: again found the net on two successive occasions for the students. The Rovers made valiant attempts to score, but failed to pierce the defence set up by the Collegians. Roberts added a fourth for the students. Soon afterwards, G. Edwards netted number five from a pen- alty kick. E. Jenkins, one of the Rovers' players, was injured and had to leave the field. There was no further scoring and the game ended in a victory for the students by five goals to nil. Mr. T. Cartwright was referee. For their next match, the Rovers should make a few changes in the personnel of the team, es- pecially in the half-back line. Benefits.—The net proceeds of Messrs Studts' benefit night with his gondolas at the Smithfield amounted to £ 7 10s., which has been divided between the Infirmary and the Nursing Association. Other people who had standings at the Smith- I field subscribed £1 10s. 6d. Dance.—A dance was held at the Oriental Cafe, Great Darkgate-street, on Wednesday nights nd was largely attended. Dancing" commenced at seven o'clock and was kept up until twelve o'clock. Messrs H. Williams and J. W. Jones acted as M.C.'s The acoompanist was Miss Williams. Refreshments were provided during the evenng. P.S.N.—The weekly P.S.N. entertain- ment was held at the Coliseum on Satur- day night. There was a sparse attend- ance, due, no doubt, to there being counter attractions in the town. An in- teresting programme was gone through as follows:—Hymn, audience- prayer, Mr J. J. Williams; song, Miss Lizzie Blod- wen Jones; recitation, Master Idwal Lewis; song, Miss Katie Jones; song, Mr E. T. Lewis; aong, Miss Mabel Thomas; song, Mr J. J. Davies. Ad- d.resess were delivered during the evening by the Chairman (Professor Levi), Mr. Goold, of Grant/ham (organiser of ISie National Order of Brotherhood), and Captain Rowlands of the Church Army. Special Sessions.—At the Police 'Sta- tion on Saturday, before the Mayor (T. J. Samuel) and Edward Evans, Esqrs., Thomas Jones, 63, Ruth-street, Bargced, was charged with leaving his wife and children chargeable to the dommon fund of the Aberystwyth Union.—Thos Vaughan, relieving officer, said the cbst of main- taining defendant's wife and two children amounted to about J61 weekly.—Defend- ant, asked if he had a home to go to, re- plied that he was in fcdgings at Bargoed. -He was bound over in the sum of P,10 and given fourteen days in which to find a house.—At the same Court, John Wil- liams, labourer, Newpbril, was cflarged with having been drunk and disorderly in Bridge-street on Friday night.—P.C. Richards said that shortly after nine o'clock the previous evening he was in- formed that two men were fighting in Trefechan. When going down Bridge- street, he saw defendant, who appeared to be one of them, being followed by a crowd. Defendant was staggering drunk, cursing and swearing, and also using threatening language. Witness, there- fore, took him into custody^, when he be- came very violent, and with the assist- ance of P.C. Davies and P.C. Williams defendant was taken to the Police Sta- tion.—Defendant, who said he had had a glass or two of beer, was tined half-p,- crown. Masonic.—Yesterday (Thursday) Mr. N. H. Thomas, senior warden, was installed worshipful master of the Aberystwyth Lodge of Freemasons. The installation banquet was held in the evening at the Lion Hotel. Asessment.-A meeting of the Assess- ment Committee was held at the Market Hall on Monday, with Mr. E. J. Evans, Cnwcybarcud, in the chair. The overseers of Aberystwyth had assessed the Council Schools at J6250 on the basis of capital outlay. The Committee reduced the assessment to J362 on the basis of Is. 6d. per child space which is understood to be the basis for the assessment of schools throughout the county. National schools are exempt from rates. Several appeals were heard. The gross assessment of the Talbot Hotel was reduced from Bl30 to £ 70 Pier Hotel from £437s lid to £ 40: No 24, Great Darkgate-street, from £ 55 16s. 6d. to £ 52; the Angel, from £ 30 to £ 27; and the Plynlvmcn, Victoria-terrace, from -0178 to L170 Church Army Mission.—Services in con- nection with St Michael's Church have been held during the past week by Captain Rowlands, pioneer migsioner for the Man- chester diocese. All the services were largely attended. On several evenings Captain Rowlands gave lantern lectures which were greatly appreciated. The campaign was opened at the Progress Hall, which was filled to overflowing, and many were unable to obtain admission. On Sunday afternoon, services for men were held at St. Mary's Church. On the first Tuesday and Wednesday, services were held at Penparke Mission Room. On Sunday evening, Captain Rowlands gave a lantern lecture at the Co-liseum on "Biblical History," and the large audience testified to the hold which he still has on friends and acquaintances in his native town. In the mornings, he made a house- to-house visitation in Trefechan and other parts of the town. He was accompanied by Mrs. Jones-Powell and Miss Gilbertson, and good work resulted. Open-air meet- ings were also held, at which Captain Rowlands was assisted by Dr Jones-Powell and the curates, Mrs Jones-Powell, Miss Gilbertson, and others. On Friday even- ing, the members of the Salvation Army attended a lecture given by their former comrade. The Vicar and Mrs. Panchen sang a number of songs, while Mrs Powell presided at the organ. Those who attended the meetings considered the mission was one of the most successful held in Aberystwyth. His friends were pleased to find Captain Rowlands looking well after his long illness. His heart and soul are in the work. and it is expected that he will pay another visit soon. The services were attended by members of various denominations. Winter Rates.—The Town Council rates for the current half-year will be Is. 4d. general district and 6d. water, and the poor rate Is. 3d. in the pound. The 6d. water rate will produce £1,000 more than is required for water purposes, and the SI.000 will be transferred to assist the large expenditure on general district rate account. During the winter months the town will have to pay in rates no. less a sum than £7,316, made up of £3,126 pocr rates, £ 3,000 general district rate, and £ 1,190 water rate. The Town Council rates are lower this half-year than in tlioa corresponding winter of last year, which is solely accounted for by the fact that the Plynlimon water works loan, which necessitated an annual payment of JB646. has new been paid off. Liberal Club.—On Friday evening, under the presidency of Professor Levi, an address was given at the Liberal Club on "The Osborne Judgment," by Mr J. D. Ivor Hughes, of the Middle Temple, lecturer in law at the College Mr. Hughes has had a. brilliant scholastic career and won many legal distinctions. His address was, therefore, looked forward to with interest. Tracing the events lead- ing up to the judgment since the election of Mr. Thomas Burt in 1874 as a labour member, Mr Hughes explained that after the Trades Union Congress held in 1899 a member, Mr Hughes explained that after the Trades Union Congress held in 1899 a parliamentary committee was appointed to promoted labour representation. Although trades unionists were twenty-five per cent. as strong as other co-operating organisa- tions, they were represented by less than twice as much on the parliamentary com- mittee which controlled the funds contri- buted by trades unionists. Mr. Keir Hardie had said that labour repreentation was a means to an end and that end was Socialism. By the adoption of a rigid economic creed and undertaking a party whip, which were not intended in the laws affecting trades unions, the joint com- mittee, through representatives who were were alien to trades unionism, went on n career of' its own and the Socialists forced the pace. The Osborne judgment i*as, therefore, the culmination of a long struggle; btit the "allegation that Mr. Osborne was a tool in the hands of capital- ists was slanderous and immoral. His con- tention was that the machinery of trades unionism was used to collect funds for disposal by a body which was not adequately representative of trade unionism, in support of a policy which was directly opposed to the political faith of a large number of trades unions. The House of Lords based the Osborne judgment on five grounds. One ground was that the Trades Union Acts of 1871 and 1876 were limiting statutes which did not provide for parlia- mentary representation as an authorised form of activity in the creation of trades unions. Another ground was that of public policy, since candidates signing a pledge and obeying the party whip were changed from being free representatives to paid delegates. Another ground of public policy was based on the rights of each individual who was compelled to subscribe to support members with whom he disagreed. Mr. Hughes spoke in favour of direct labour representation as an essential means of bettering the con- ditions oT labour, and he also advocated a pledge-bound party; but he suggested the insertion of a conscience clause for those who objected to pay the parliamen- tary levy, This, would protect th minority and enable th party to jtf<?ge the feeling of members. A general discussion followed, and a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Hughes, on the proposition of Mr. T. J. Samuel, mayor, seconded by Mr Galloway. Property Sale.—At the Lion Hotel, on Wednesday afternoon, Mr A. Lloyd Wil- liams, auctioneer, Baker-street, offered for sale the leasehold dwelling house, yard, and premises known as 1, Rheidol-terrace, in the occupation of Mr. Rees Jones. The property includes a workshop in the rear in the occupation of Mr. John Owen, and is held under a lease from the Aberystwyth Corporation for the residue of the term of seventy-five years from November 12th, 1898, subject to the yearly ground rent of JB1 78.. Bidding commenced at L300 and rose to L400 when the property was sold to Mr. William Edwards. Mr. Williams afterward put up for sale the freehold dwelling house, yard, and premises known as 4, Baker-street, in the occupation of Mrs. Rosina Humphreys. Bidding for this property commenced at R,400, and, at P,655 it was sold to Mr. Joseph Gordon Davies, Llwynffynoii, LlanbadarnT Obituary-—The death took place on Friday of Mrs. R. C. Jones, Havelock Villa, Penglaise-road, widow of Mr Evan Jlones, and daughter of the late Captain Evan Jenkins (s.s. Countess of Lisburne.)

Mr. and Mrs. Watkins are at present staying with rela- tives in Aberystwyth. Forty years ago there was a great invasion of the industrial centres from the country towns and vil- lages, and among those who left Aberyst- wyth at that time were Mr. and Mrs. Watkins. They left the shores of.Cardi- gan Bay with many regrets. In that garden of nature for generations, the old Watkins' stock was very prominent They were occupied as ship carpenters. the chief industry at Aberystwyth in those days, and Mr. Watkins in his youth -L assisted his father in building some of the best crafts that ever sailed Cardigan Bay. After settling in Cardiff, Mr. Watkins obtained a situation under the Taff Vale Railway Company as a carpenter in the signalling department.

Officers' Training Corps.—Sergeant I Morgan, of the second Battalion South Wales Borderers, has been appointed in- I structor to the U.C.W. Officers' Training j Corps in succession to Colour-Sergeant Instructor Holford who has retired on pension. Football Protest.—Aberystwyth having defeated Newtown Territorials in the first round of the Welsh Senior Cup, the Terri- torials lodged a protest on the ground that some of the College players and Rees. the full-back, had not been registered according to rule as playing members. The protest was heard at Oswestry on Wed- nesday by the Welsh Association Council, with the result that the protest was up- held and the match awarded to Newtown. Messrs. E. Llewellin and Bert Jones repre- sented Aberystwyth at the meeting. The verdict has caused some disappointment in the town and the Committee of the Town Club are freely criticised. Well Known.—Mr. Joshua Dyson, cinematograph proprietor, a native of Glossop, died suddenly at Wetherby early on Wednesday morning, after having given his exhibition in the Town Hall on Tuesday night. Deceased, who was fifty- eight years of age, was the proprietor of a one-time famous panoramic show. The Strolling Players.—Mr. Sidney James and his famous Strollers are to appear at the Pier Pavilion on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 6th and 7th, and residents can look forward to a treat. Full of vim and go, the Strollers serve up burlesque in a manner that is extremely original, and their entertainment from start to finish is brimful of sparkling fun, conspicuous by its refinement. They have concluded a successful season at the Palace Theatre, London, under the man- agement of Mr. Alfred Butt, and are giving what is termed a "flying" farewell tour, previous to their tour of the world- or, to be precise, Africa, America, and Australia-where they have already created many records. Downies' Trustees.—The monthly meet- ing of Downies' Trustees was held at the Town Hall on Thursday, the Rev. M. Jones-Powell presiding. There were also present Messrs Daniel Thomas, J. D. Perrott, F. R. Roberts, T. Doughton, and Evan Evans, clerk. There was no business of public interest. PETTY SESSIONS, Wednesday, Novem- ber lltli.—Before the Mayor (T. J. Samuel, D. C. Roberts, and Edward Evans, Esqrs.

Owen, solicitor, appeared for defendant.—Jane Putt said on November 24th she was putting clothes out in the back yard and heard Mrs. Dawson ask her daughter if she had seen that "b—— Mrs. Putt." Witness, IOn hearing her name, asked defendant what she meant. Mrs. Dawson repeated the words. Her husband then came out and said Mrs. Dawson would have to prove her words. Witness and her husband went into the front room, and defendant again repeated the words outside. Defendant said if witness went outside she would pull the hair off her head, and also called her and her husband thieves. Witness was afraid of defend- ant who had threatened to rip her open. Witness added that defendant spat on the window.—Mr. Owen: Has she tried to hit you P-Mitiiess: She has not had the chance, but she came into my house and her husband pulled her out.—Mr. Owen asked for a definite answer, and witness repeated that Mrs. Dawson came into the house.—Mr. D. C. Roberts thought that was' a reasonable answer. He often felt that solicitors took advantage of persons in complainant's position.—Mr. Owen: I only wish that magistrates had sometimes to cross-examine witnesses. They would then appreciate the odds which are against a defendant and the difficulties of a defending solicitor.—Mr. Roberts: I sym- pathise with poor men and women who have to come to a public court to be examined. They are helpless.—Mr Owen They are not helpless. The Clerk is here. When I am acting as clerk, I always try to protect everyone in the. position of this woman. They always look for protection to the Clerk, and it is invariably given. I do not think I am pressing her unduly.— Further examined, witness said she had sent a solicitor's letter, but it was re- turned.—Mr. Owen pointed out that the letter was unstamped.—The Clerk said there was a complete explanation. The letter had got mixed up with other letters and returned to complainant who had to pay twopence.—Mr. Owen said he did not wish .to blame anyone. He did not even know that the letter came from the Clerk's office. Referring to the way complain- ant answered his questions, Mr. Owen added that she appeared quite capable of taking care of herself.—Replying to the Mayor, witness said defendant was scream- ing and called names every time she passed the houste.—Mrs. Margaret Price, 28 Portland-road, said she lived next door to Mrs. Dawson.—Corroborative evidence was also given by J Putt, husband of the com- plainant.—Mr. Owen said his instructions were quite contrary to the evidence given but if the Bench thought Mrs. Dawson should be bound over, he-was not going to waste their time further. There was a little blame on both sides, and he sug- gested, in the interest of peace, that both parties should be bound over.—The Bench bound Mrs. Dawson over in the sum of £ 5 to keep the peace for six months.

Lloyd Rees and the Rev. A. Prosser. The negative was championed by Mr. Thomas Evans, Penbont, seconded by Mr. DI. Richards, MeillioneD, and supported ¡ by ATr. J. J. Joijes, Tyncoed.

GENERAL ELECTION. Continued from page 2. CARDIGANSHIRE. Mr F. R. Roberts, the under-sheriff, has fixed the nominations for the Parlia- mentary election to take place next Mon- day, December 5th, at Aberayrun, be- tween twelve and two o'clock and if there is a contest, it will take place on Tuesday, December 13th. A special meeting of the county Liberal Associ- ation will be held at Lampeter to-day (Friday), when Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P., will be selected for the fifth time to represent Cardiganshire. As the time between the- nomination and election is so short and as the last electibn took place in January, Mr Vaughan Davies cannot be expected to travel throughout the county and visit every district as he has done hitherto. He arrived from London on Monday and, after the magnificent victory of last January, is again ready for the fight; feeling certain that the Liberals of Cardiganshire are as determined as ever on the chief question of the House of Lords, to say nothing of Tariff Reform and other minor side issues. Mr Wm. Davies, who is again acting as agent for Mr Vaughan Davies, has the organising machinery in workng order and, with his past experience and efficient adminis- tration, there can be no doubt that the reputation of Cardiganshire Liberalism will be fully maintained if not enhanced in the event of an election. It appears, however, that the Conserv- atives are not likely to force a cfcntest, unless something definite is settled at the last moment. At the annual meeting of the Conservative Association on Thurs- day of last week at Lampeter, much criticism was offered and, on the ques- tion of adopting a candidate, it was felt that a dontest will be useless and provo- cative. Mr R. E. Jones, Aberllolwyn, was appointed chairman of the Associ- ation for the year in tne pTace of Mr Griffith Evans, Lovesgrove. A committee was appointed with power to act, to select a candidate and ascertain whether funds are available. One of the pro- bable candidates named is Mr Bowen Davies, banister, Llandyssul. At the time of going to press, nlothing definite had been decided upon as to whether there will be a contest or not.

MID-GLAMORGAN. ABERYSTWYTH MAN SELECTED. Mr F. \V. Gibbins, the sitting member for Mid-Glamorgan having decided to re- tire, the executive of the Liberal Associ- ation met at Aberavon on Wednesday to select a candidate to hold the seat against Mr Vernon Hartshorn, the Labour candidate. Among the Liberal candidates named were Mr J. Hugh Ed- wards, London: Mr T. J. Hughes, Bridg- end; Mr John Rowland, of the TVeasury; Mr Horace Evans, son of Sir S. T Efvans; and Professor Levi, Aberystwyth. The last named, however, tigcided on Wednes- day to withdraw his name. Mr J. Hugh Edwards was unanimously selected. We have received a telegram frtom Mr Edwards this afternoon, stating that he has consented to stand.
