South Carnarvonshlre NotesI
South Carnarvonshlre Notes (By DELPHOS.) a COUNTY v. TOWN. The results of the examinations of the ^Oday School scholars in the C.M. dis-J '"let of Tremadoc, once more show that work is being done in fural schools in the town schools. More scholars Passed from the former than from the lat- and they also took higher positions vQ the examinations than the otlvers did. poking at the position of the schools in examinations, I find that Horeb ^hool—far up in the mountains aBove renteg—is at the top of the list, whilst town schools are at the very bottom. *«is state of affairs is easily explained, j* town there are so many things to draw « attention of the children that they a.f to take tip the lessons given them earnestness and assiduity; whereas the Tural districts the children have Plenty of leisure, which they use in study- ,llg their lessons. Town life has many ad- Vantages, but in this particular matter it be admitted that it is a disadvan- tage. If town pulpits are better supplied ^jth preachers, rural Sunday Schools sup- Pv the most successful scholars. These laminations show that good, solid work 18 being done in all the schools. A DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION.

How the whole village not visited by an epidemic, the depu- ation cculd not say. They failed to con- to' the Council what they really saw. "e Council was simply astounded.

The Council resolved request the owners of property in the $ace to have the nuisances removed im- mediately. •^HIT-MONDAY GALA AT PWLLHELI.

--The Powers of Welsh County…
The Powers of Welsh County Councils In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr Lloyd-George, in calling attention to the powers of county councils, stated that lie did not intend to press his motion on the subject to a division, the President of the Local Government Board having consented to receive a deputation from the Welsh county councils, who would then state their case. He moved—"That it is desirable the provision made by section 10 of the Local Government Act, 1888, for the trans- fe" to county councils and joint committees ol county councils of powers now vested in certain Government Departments, should be put into operation forthwith; and inas- much as the Welsh county councils are unanimously deairious of obtaining such increased powers, and the obstacles opposed uy the non-county boroughs in England to the etfecting of such a transfer are not raised by the ncn-county boroughs of Wales, that it is expedient the experiment of such a transfer should first of all be made in Wales. Sir J. J. Jenkins seconded the motion. Mr Chaplin stated that he should be glad to receive a deputation on the subject. The motion was withdrawn.
Mringemeat of the Quarries…
Mringemeat of the Quarries Act PROSECUTION AT MENAI BRIDGE. At the Menai -Bridge Petty Sessions, on Monday, before Mr Harry Clegg and other magistrates, Frank Turner, quarry owner, Carnarvon, was summoned for committing three offences under the Quarries Act, 1894, najnelv that he allowed the use of iron or steel tools for charging or stemming holes, that he allowed the use of straw fuse, and that he failed to cause the explosives to be conveyed from the magazine to the quarry in secure packages. Mr G. J. Williams, Bangor, Assistant Inspector of Mines, who prosecuted at the (instance of the Home Office, stated that special rules were es- tablished in the Plasnewydd Quarry, in !re- spect of which the information was laid, and they had bee-n,submitted to.the Home Office and approved. The quarry was situated at Moelydon, opposite Portdinorwic. He had written to the defendant on a previous oc- casion regarding certain irregularities in the quarry. He again visited the quarry, and witnessed the offences of which he com- plained. He saw a man going to stem a hole with a crowbar and straw if uses, were in use.' Mr H. C. Vincent (Messrs Carter, Vincent, and Douglas Jones), Iwho appeared for the defence, contended! that the prose- cutor had not shown who the ,owner of the quarry was.—Mr G. J. Williams Mr Turner had, as owner certain duties to fulfil, which he did. He sent. in the annual return. The rules were accepted by Mr Turner, as the owner of the quarry.—Mr H. C. Vincent: You have given your evidence, but you have not proved that the defendant is the owner Continuing, Mr Vincent jstated that Mr Turner was not charged as agent but as owner. The sending in of returns iby Mr Turner did not show that he was owner. He strongly objected ,to the prosecutor again giving evidence after having closed the pro- secution.—The Chairman: Inspectors in this court are treated as japplicants.-Mr Vincent maintained that the prosecutor was rot entitled to give further evidenced No judge would allow the prosecution to re-open their case merely because [the defence pointed out that they had failed to prove an important point. — The Bench contended that if that was a technical objection, brought forward with a view of shelving the matter, the case could be adjourned.—Mr G. J. Wiliams never doubtedlthe ownership. The special rules had been accepted by Mr Tur^r as owner.—The magistrates then a-e- tired to discuss the point, and on their re- turn said that there was some evidence of Mr Turner being the agent or owner of the premises. Therefore, the objection must be over-ruled,—In icross-examination Mr Wil- liams said that the defndant owned quarries in the Nantlle Vale. He was not aware that the Plasnewydd Quarry was not worked by the defendant. For the defence Mr Vincent urged that a man named Thomas Owen, lime kiln owner, Carnarvon, worked the quarry and paid the men their wages, Mr Turner receiving so much royalty for every load. Under the circumstances it was .very difficult for Mr Turner to super- vise everything that occurred in the quarry. -The Bench, after deliberation, fined the defendant Ri and costs for each offence, remarking; that they must mark their sense of the rules and regulations which had (been framed to protect life.

Proposed Improvements at Carnarvon. APPLICATION TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL. At a meeting of the Carnarvon County Council held at the County Hall, Carnar- von, on Thursday, a deputation consisting of the Mayor (Mr W. J. Williams), Dr J. Williams (chairman of the Highway Com- mittee), and Dr Parry (chairman of the Gas Committee), representing the Carnarvon Town Council, and Mr J. H. Thomas repre- senting the Gwyrfai District Council, of which authority he is clerk, attended as a deputation in support of the application of the two Councils that the County Council should construct a bridge across the Gwyr- fai, near the Voryd, in connection with the new roadway it is proposed to make to open up the lower parts of the parishes from Car- narvon to Dinas Dinlle, and thence to the Clynnog districts. The Mayor said that in 1895 the Carnar- von Borough Council obtained, under a local Act, power to spend money outside the borough, in Anglesey, and in a part of Llan- faglan parish. An old road had existed from time immemorial along the route of the proposed new road. It had been neg- lected to a certain extent, and there was a general feeling that it should be repaired to facilitate traffic to that part of the dis- trict. The Town Council had already spent in making a bridge across the mouth of the harbour £14,000 to £15,000, so that they were going to take the major share of the cost of "Opening up the new road upon themselves. About three miles of the road ran through the parish of Llanfaglan, which was very thinly populated, but it afterwards entered! a very large district, including Llanaelliaiam, Clynnog, Llanbedrog, Llan- wnda, and! part of Llanbeblig. The Parish Council and the District Council had de- cided to join the Corporation to carry out the scheme, but before they could join it would be necessary to have a bridge across the Gwyrfai. When the new road was made it would be level, so that one horse could draw a load which required two horses on the present road. Further, the road would assist in opening to the public Dinas Dinlle, an -interesting locality as a watering place, which would add to the rateable value of the county. The land- lords had been approached, and promised to assist. A rough estimate and sketch plans had been drawn out by the surveyors of the Town Council and the District Council. Roughly it was anticipated that the bridge would cost £ 2000, and this they hoped the County Council would build. Mr Robert Hughes (Llanfairfechan) moved that the matter be referred to the, Surveyor's Committee, with instructions to report to the next Council. Mr George Farren seconded this, remark- ing that if possible they should decide fav- ourably. Mr C. H. Darbishire said that informa- tion as to the ownership of the landi and as to the amount of support promised should be obtained. Mr W. J. Parry observed that the names of all landowners likely to be benefitted should be given. Mr Robinson moved that.the matter be carriel through that day. He saw no neces- sity for deferring it. Mr H. Meander Jones seconded this. Mr D. P. Williams It is too big a scheme to settle off-hand. Mr C. A. Jones remarked that all the Town Council of Carnarvon desired was to have some idea of the manner in which the matter would be decided. If they bad,, an assurance that it would be favourably con- sidered they would be encouraged to .con- tinue to carry out their share of the work. Mr Robert Hughes remarked that he was not antagonistic to the scheme when he moved the resolution. Mr W. J. Parry: The Surveyor's Com- mittee should be absolutely unfettered. Mr E. R. Davies was of opinion that if the matter could be facilitated they ought to do so. He moved that a special sub-committee be appointed to meet the representatives of the various councils on the spot, and to re- port to the Surveyor's Committee. This would save at least three months' time. Mr J. R. Pritchard seconded this, as a practical proposal, and, Mr Robinson's amendment being withdrawn in favour of it it was carried by a considerable majority. The following were appointed members of the Committee: — The Chairman of the Council, Mr C. H. Darbishire, Mr D. P. Williams, Mr P. M'lntyre, Mr Robert Tho- mas, Mr E. R. Davies, and Mr John Hughes. The Mayor thanked the Council for the courtesy extended to the deputation, who then withdrew.

I. The Water Supply of Carnarvon
I The Water Supply of Carnarvon In the annual report of the Local Govern- ment Board reference is made to the water supply of Carnarvon as "another case in p..int" illustrating Ine difticuity of protect- ing the sources of public water supply from contamination. The report says: — In 1865 the Town Council obtained power to take water from the Gwyrfai; but it being found later on that the water was polluted by the drainage of the village of Waenfawr, the intake of the water was removed in 1879 t) a point some distance higher up the stream. In 1893 the Board's attention was drawn to the facts that the Carnarvon water supply was subject to pollution by a report of the local medical officer of health, and I m 1895 Dr Bruce Low, one of the Board's officers, in submitting a general report on sanitary progress in Carnarvonshire, gave an acount of the risk of pollution to which this-water was subjected, by reason especial- ly of the liquid refused from the village of Rhyd-ddu, the refuse from privies, and the soakage or over-flow from cesspools. This was later on supplemented by private com- plaints. In the meantime correspondence ensued between the Board and the Rural District Councils of Gwyrfai and Glaslyn, within whose jurisdictions the village of Rhyd-ddu is situated, and these bodies were urged to take such measures for dealing wiSi the sewage of the village as to prevent the pollution of the river Gwyrfai. But apart from the substitution of pail closets for a number of privies which had been so contrived as to discharge direct into the stream, nothing substantial was found,to have been done as the result of Dr Low's visit in 1895. Early in 1898 the Board, after having received a communication from the Town Council of Carnarvon stating that they were not aware how they could them- selves do anything more in the matter, in- structed Dr Wheaton to report in detail on tlij circumstances. From Dr Wheaton's report it appears that the Carnarvon water supply is taken from the river Gwyrfai about half a mile below the point where it issues from Lake Quellyn, the lower of two lakes lying in thg^Gwyrfai Valley, at the head of which are the steep slopes of Snowdon. The report sets out the numerous sources of pollution to which river and lake are alike subjected, and the details become the more revolting because, from their abundance, they have to be re- peated again and again in Dr Wheaton's account of one and another point where the fouling of the .water supply takes place. Briefly summarised, the many sources of pollution are as follow: -Human excreta washed!, at times in abundance, from the svrrounding land by reason of the iack or complete absence of closets, or deliberately thrown into the river from pail closets; privy and cesspool contents, washed down ditches or small affluents leading to the main stream or to the lake, and derived from seperate houses, from an hotel by the lake side, from a. wollen mill, and from a quarry where 250 men are employed, of whom 60 live there in barracks; and, last- ly, the liquid and other refuse from the altogether unsewered village of Rhyd-ddu. The population of this village is about 150 persons, living partly on the north and' part- ly on the south side of the river which here davides the rural districts of Gwyrfai and Glaslyn; and referring to it Dr Wheaton writes:—"There can be no doubt that the sanitary circumstances of this village are such as to form a serious danger to the consumers of the wtater from the Gwyrfai river, and there would be grave risks to siuoh consumers shouldi tenteric fever or cholera at any time break out in this village." Such are the circumstances affecting the sources of the water supply for some 10,000 people who normally inhabit warnarven and for the visitors who frequent the borough in the holiday season. And yet on the one hand we have the Town Council of the bcrough, who, having acquired) no powers over the water above the intake in the river, declare themselves helpless, and on the ether hand two rural district councils, who evidently do not see their way, on the ground of cost, to provide a remedy for these evils, merely because a borough some six or seven miles away had obtained) Par- liamentary powers to take a water supply from sources arising within their jurisdic- tion. The circumstances of this case have been cited by way of general illustration.! of a by no means rare condition of things.
,'SPRING AILMENTS.
SPRING AILMENTS. Each season of the year has its peculiar ailments and dangers. No observant per- son can have failed to notice this. The great prevalence of Influeza during the past season is a striking instance of this fact. Now; at this seaon of the year, there are what are known as "Spring Ailments, such as Eczema, Skin Affections,BloodDisorders Pimples, Blotches, etc., etc. These ail- ments, which are so annoying and unpleas- ant, and, indeed, in some cases, dangerous to the human system, can be speedily re- lieved by a course of Gwilym Evans' Quin- ine Bitters, the vegetable tonic. This pre- paration contains the activee principle of the finest Blood Purifiers, such as Sarsa- parilla, Burdock, Dandelion, 'Lavender, Saffron, Gentain, and Quinine. The first three of these plants are noted as Blood Purifiers. Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is admitted to be among the best purifiers of the blood which have vet been discovered and though several vegetable preparations are offered to the public as Blood Purifiers, none can compare with Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters in their efficacy to attain the desired result. Gwilvm Evans' Quin- ine Dit,terscontains no Mercury or Iron or any other mineral substances, which ofteit leave behind them pernicious effects. This preparation is purely vegetable, and is a natural tonic, being composed entirely of Nature's remedies, which cannot injure the most delicate person; while, at the same time, it is always effectual and beneficial when taken to restore the body to its nor- mal healthy state, when any of its organs have been deranged bv disease.

Bangor Bankruptcy Court.
Bangor Bankruptcy Court. This court was held on Thursday, before the Registrar (Mr J. Glynne Jones), the 'AtsistaJ^ Official Receiver (Mr W. G. Wil- liams) conducting the examination.-The examinations of William Dudley Dance, Roger Price, and Hugh Owen Williams were closed, subject to the signing of notes.—In the case of Arthur Thomas Starkey, of Rhos-on-Sea, the Assistant Official Receiver reported that the bankpupt had not yet furnished the accounts which were ordered to be furnished within seven days.-The ex- aminations of William Pritchard, Llandud- no, and John Parry, Rachub, were adjourn- ed.-John Hughes, Sain-y-gof, Anglesey, c&me up again for examination, but the hearing was further adjourned.—Richard Parry, plumber and ironmonger, Aiarket street, Holyhead (for whom Mr E. H. Williams appeared), came up for examina- tion. The gross liabilities were set down at £496 and the deficiency at £373. In tne course of his answer to the Assistant Offic- ial Receiver, the bankrupt said he had bought a house in May, 1896. He was acting on behalf of his grandfather, who had left the whole transaction in his hands. He had deceived his grandfather and had had the conveyance made out in his own name. His grandfather afterwards found this out and the house was transferred to him. He paid his grandfather rent, but never had a receipt for it. He thought he bad over-stocked his shop at the commence- ment and consequently was soon in difficult- ies. His grandfather gave him £ 195 to start business with. He gave no receipt or acknowledgement of any kind for that money His grandfather has now sheduled as a creditor to the extent of £ 226,. He denied that the house was ever intended to be a gift to him and his wife. He thought if he had kept to either his plumbing or iron- mongery business he would have done well enough, but he had too many irons in the fire. He denied that his business suffered through drinking habits. He had no idea what the returns from the business were. The Assistant Official Receiver applied for an adjournment of the examination. The Registrar observed that it was obviously necessary to make further inquiry into the pioperty transaction referred to, and the further hearing was consequently adjourn- ed to the next court.

- Miraculous Cures from Death.
Miraculous Cures from Death. CURED OF CONSUMPTION BY DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. The circumstances of the following case were so extraordinary that a reporter of the "South Wales Daily Star" was sent to make enquiries on all the facts in relation thereto. At 28, Grove street, Trecelyn, Newbridge, he was received by Mrs Davies, and her daughter Mary Rebecca, who relat- ed to him the marvellous escape from death Another Cure' in the Principality RHEUMATTC GOUT RENDERED HIM HELPLESS. A correspcndent of the "South Wales Argus'" detailed a remarkable story, the principal character in which was a 1 in- plate worker who was happily rescued from an early grave by quite an accidental cir- cuipstaiice. The person referred to is Mr Henry Mason, a single man, aged 38, who gj lived at 11, Railway Terrace, Aberpani. "S Mr Mason readily consented to relate tn the reporter tne history of his adventures. The narrative is given in Mason's own Tl'Tn.rlC: which the latter had. Miss Davies, a young lady, eighteen years of age, was busily sew- ing. She concurred in and assented to everything her mother said. "My daughter was at school when we I first noticed that she was not well," said Mrs Davies; "began to lose her appetite, get weak and pale. We had to keep her at home, for she got worse and worse, and had to take her to bed. Doctors said at first it was anaemia. They did everything they could for her, but she got so pale that you never saw anyone with such colour, wasting to a sliadow. We thought every breath would be her last. She could not not retain any food, and was kept alive on brandy and irilk. She was evidently dying of consump- tion. At last she could not standi or speak. All the neighbours were expecting to hear she was dead. One morning we heard a fall in the room, and her little sister called out, 'Come quick, father! 'Beeca's deacil' We ran in, and there she was on the floor just like dead. Her father picked her up her eyes were fixed and there was no sign of life: we thought it was all over. "She had burst a blood-vessel and lost about two quarts of blood1," Mrs Davies continued. "She had two attacks like that, end the doctor did everything he possibly could for her, trying different kinds of medicine. But she got worse and looked like a very corpse. No one could be worse and live." "She looks all right now," said the report- er. "Plenty of colour, and no signs of con- sumption about her." "Oh, yes! She is as well as anyone now, and she can go anywhere and do anything. It is to Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People she owes her life. It was like rising her out of the grave." "How came you to try them ?" "Her father heard about them at his work, and we agreed to try a box. We put aside all other medicine, so as to give a fair trial to Dr Williams' Pink Pills. We followed the directions on the box exactly. Almost at once we noticed that she was a little better, and after finishing the first box there was a decided improvement. Before she had emptied the second box she got out of bed for a while. She took seven boxes in all, and! nOW you can see for yourself she is as well as ever. She was able to get about in six or seven weeks after commencing Dr Williams' Pink Pills. That was two or three years ago. So you see that the cure is a permanent one." "In 1877 I was living in this terrace." iie said, "and was employed at the Abercarn Tin Works, where I still work. One day while I was standing in the street, I was taken with a violent pain across my back— it was in the region of the kidneys. I went home, and was attended by a doctor, who ordered me to bed. He told me I W.1. suffering from rheumatic fever. I got a little better, and after a time was sufficient- ly strong to resume work; but I have been troubled with the cruel disease more or less ever since. Six weeks ago I was again taken ill suddenly while in the works That was on a Saturday, and on Sunday morning, being scarcely able to crawl downstairs, two doctors were called in. They told nue I was suffering from rheumatic gout, for which they treated mp. Of course I could not go to work, and had to lay up. My feet, legs, and hands were so swollen tuaf I thought they would burst. I suffered the most excruciating pain. I had to be car- ried downstairs, washed and dressed. I lid not keep entirely to my bed, but sat, pil- lowed in a chair, for a few hours each iaj. I became so weak that-1 could not stand, aid had to be fed like a baby—in fact, I may tell you, I was quite as helpless. While lying in bed I was in great agony; even the bedclothes seemed too heavy for me. I JjB| shuddered when anyone came into the room. The continued to attend me room. The continued to attend me and gave me medicine but I did not de- rive the slightest relief from it, and seemed to be getting worse and worse. At length ^9H I almost gave up all hope of ever "being well ag8.Ïn. "Now you have told me the symptoms of IflB your illness, it would be interesting to know >9 how you discovered the remedy?" said the interviewer. "While I was sitting in my chair, reading the 'Weekly Argus,' I came across ar article on 'The way to he well.' It was abo-it r cases which had! been cured by Dr William Pink Pill for Pale People. As a last re- sort I resolved to give Dr Williams' pink pills a trial. I, therefore, sent for a box. J •< took one pill, and three hours afterwards felt somewhat relieved. After the second day's treatment, I noticed that the swellirg j in my limbs had already much decreased, and the pain was nothing like so acute. By the time I had! finished the box, the SYT^II- 'jj ing was gone down completely, and. I am glad to say the pain had entirely left me. I am now felling better and stronger than e-ver." Mr Mason added that he shcuhi always keep a box in the house in case of MneTgency. '!]

-lleyn Rural Council.

It was incidentally stated that the question of making a light rail- way to Lieym was still mentioned here and there.—The report of the committee that had visited Trefor, was read. It revealed shocking insanitation. The brook that r flúwed into the river, and which supplied cattle with water was filled with indescrib- able filth, and the stench was intolerable. How the health of the place was not affected it was difficult to say.—The Council adopted the report, and ordered the Clerk to write to the owners of property in the place to remove all the nuisances.-Several cases of small-pox had occured in the district, amongst part of the crew of a vessel which had recently arrived in England. One man had died.—Serious complaints as to nuis- ances at Nevin were received. The atten- tion of the local sanitary committee would be drawn to the matter.
Proposed Harbour of Refuge…
Proposed Harbour of Refuge at Pwllheli. At a meeting of the Carnarvon County Council at Carnarvon on Thursday, a letter was' read from the Board of Trade, in reply to the resolution passed at the last meeting of the County Council with respect to the proposed harbour of refuge at Pwll- heli, stating."that they were not of opinion that any advantage would be likely to ac- crue from putting members of the Council to .the trouble of giving evidence before the Inter-Departmental Committee, and that among the conditions laid down by the Treasury as essential before a grant could properly be made from public funds in aid of the construction of a harbour were the following: —' (1) The local authority should undertake and should be in a position to en- sure. the permanent maintenance of the har- bour towards the establishment of which the assistance of the State be asked.' (2) Of the total cost required for construction, at least two-thirds should be provided from local or outside sources, and the contribu- tion from the Exchequer should in no case exceed the remaining third.' If the Council had any considerations to urge with the view of showing that these conditions could be complied with in the case of Pwll- heli those considerations would receive careful attention." — On the motion of Mr E R Davies, the Chairman and Messrs J. Menzies and Richard Davies were ap- pointed to see whether the Treasury condi- tions could be complied with.
