Eighteen Shillings for 9d. Anthony Smedley, Mountain Ash, was summoned for stealing two brake sticks from the Cwmponnar Colliery, the property of the Powell Duffryn Coal Co. Mr. A. Prosser appeared for the prosecution. P.S. Milburn stated that on January 5th he saw the defendant with the sticks in his possession. They were valued 9d. Defendant said that he didn't think it wa« stealing. The Bench were of opinion that over- looking these practices had become too common. In dismissing the case on payment of costs they desired to warn the men that they would punish severe- ly in any future cases. The costs amounted to 18s.

He Saw Stars. Frederick Edwards was summoned for assaulting Wm. Williams, 21 Mount Pleasant Terrace, Miskin. Mountain Ash. Complainant stated that he was eom- ing from the square on Jan. Oth, when Edwards assaulted him and kicked him. He said, "Take that." and hit him, and then kicked him twice. Witness here convulsed the court by saying that he "saw stars for a bit." David Samuel stated that he saw Edwards strike W illiams and kick him twice. ) W. Davies, Woodland Street, Moun- tain Ash, gave evidence for the de- fence. He stated that Williams ap- proached Edwards and offered to find a Treharris man to fight Edwards. Ed- wards told Williams to go away, and gave him several pushes. Cue dismissed.

Wife Desertion. Bessie Jones, Miskin, summoned her husband, Wm. Jones, for desertion. Complainant stated that she had two children. Her husband was a timber- man and lived in Trealaw. An order for 15s. a week was made,, and the wife to have the custody of the children.

Newtown Nagging Neighbours. A Man Who Left His Wife to Fight it Out. Catherine Jane Powell, 6S Cardiff Road, Newtown, Mountain Ash, was summoned by Mrs. Bartlett, her next door neighbour, for assault. le, Mr Wm. Thomas appeared for the de- fence, and informed the Bench that there was a cross-summons. Complainant stated that she had been to fetch a flagon of beer for her husband on Monday night, Jan. 4th. She was passing Mrs. Powell's door. when she started to quarrel. She swore at witness and then caught hold of her hair by both hands. Witness then caught hold of Mrs. Bartlett and put her on her hack on the ground. De- fendant still kept hold of her hair. She had given the flagon of beer to her husband who went in the house. Acting Stipendiary And left you two women struggling on the floor? Witness Yes. Continuing her evidence, Mrs. Bart- lett said she didn't knock the defendant whilst she was on the ground. De- fendant cried out Oh dear. Oh dear." By Mr Thomas She didn't know that Mrs. Powell had had to be medically attended. The cause of the quarrel was the passage between her's and the defendant's houses. She didn't call her an ugly bitch. She only took her by the throat. It was to get her hands free that she gave the flagon to her husband. She was afraid she might strike Mrs. Powell with the bottle. Mrs. Brooks, a neighbour, saw the two women struggling in each other's arms. She saw no blow struck when they fell to the ground. Mr. Bartlett took away the bottle and the change and left his wife struggling with Mrs. Powell. j Mrs. Powell, stating her case, said that Mrs. Bartlett had threatened her on many occasions. When passing her door she would put her fingers to her nose and call witness ugly bitch. Wit- ness was standing on her doorstep when Mrs. Bartlett passed by. She called her husband, and told him to hold the bottle and she'd soon bowl her over. Witness was suffering now from the shock, and had not been able to take solid food for a fortnight. Susan Douse, 74 Cardiff Road, stated that she saw Mrs. Powell bleeding. Dr. Hugh Davies-Jones said that he medically attended Mrs. Powell. She had a lacerated wound on the left eye- brow, a wound inside the left cheek, and a scratch on her neck. Mrs. Powell was suffering from a complaint which had been aggravated by the assault. The Acting Stipendiary said that the Bench had come to the conclusion that both these women had been nagging each other until a state of white heat had arisen. In the first case they had decided to hind over both of them to be of good behaviour. In the cross- summons they were of opinion that Mrs. Bartlett was the aggressor and she would be fined 10s. and costs. Further,- they considered that Mr. Bartlett, the husband of one of the women, had played a dastardly part j that night.

What English word in common use will describe a person or thing as not to lie found anywhere, and yet. with no alteration than a separation of the sylla- ) bles, will correctly describe him or it as being present at this moment?— "Nowhere"; "Now here."

Mountain Ash District Council. On Tuesday, Mr. W. Lamburn in the chair. The other members present were Rev. Geo. Neighbour, Messrs. Thomas Jones, J.P., David Rogers, \Vm. Millar, Bruce Jones, Noah Bowles, Evan Morris, James Evans, Charles Maddox, T. W. Jones, G. H. Hall, \Vm. Davies, J. Powell, with Messrs. Arthur Pincombe (clerk), Fred Stock (accountant), W. G. Thomas (surveyor) and H. T. Jones (sanitary inspector).

Abercynon's Dangerous Curve. The Clerk read the report of the de- putation which attended, with County Councillor (Dr.) 1. Ll. Morris, Aber- cynon. the County Roads and Bridges Committee meeting at Cardiff on Janu- ary 14th. The 11. and B. Committee admitted the necessity of improving the spot in question (a dangerous curve in the road near Calfaria Chapel, Aber- cynon), but they could not do anything until the land required had been ob- tained. They were of opinion that the Mountain Ash District Council would be more successful in negotiating for the necessary land. The Clerk sug- gested that. a provisional order be ap- plied for in order to obtain the land Dr. Morris thereupon gave notice that he would move that they apply for a provisional order. Mr. Bruce Jones: If the deputation had kken my advice they could save the expense of that trip to Cardiff. I suppose it cost £3 or £ 4, and the auditor's attention ought to be called to it. Mr. W. Lamburn I would not advise Mr. Jones to do that. (Laughter.) Mr T. W. Jones The county are pay- ing us a great compliment, at any in stating that we would be more suc- cessful than the County Council in ne- gotiating for the land. gotiating for the land. Mr. Bruce "Jones 1 move that Aid. Wm. Jones be asked to support Dr. Morris when the latter brings forward his motion. lr. W. Millar seconded, and the motion was carried.

Ynysybwl Allotments. A committee reported having sought suitable sites for garden allotments at Ynysybwi. They inspected land be- longing to the Plymouth Estate and also the Crawshay Estate, and they came to the conclusion that a site on the latter would be preferable, and the terms less onerous. The Council was recommended to instruct the Surveyor to circularise the district in order to ascertain how many people were likely to take up allotments. The report was adopted.

New Public Slaughter-house Wanted. The Slaughter-house Committee re- ported having met on Jan. 19th, when the Clerk, Medical Officer. Surveyor, and Sanitary Inspector, were in attend- ance. The committee inspected local sb ughtpr-housf"s and found them most unsatisfactory. Furthermore, they would not admit of any improve- ment. If. was therefore proposed by Mr G. H. Hall, sPcolHled by Mr W. Davies. that the Council be strongly recommended to instruct the Surveyor to search for a suitable site for the erection of a public slaughter-house. The report was adopted.

Roads and Water Mains. Mr. Arthur Seaton, contractor, Pontypridd, in reply to a communica- tion from the Council, wrote that he was proceeding with the work of laying down the mains. Mr Thomas Jones remarked that the roads were in a very had state, and it was impossible to repair them until the work was completed. Mr. Seaton should be urged to press on with the work. Mr. Bruce Jones: Is it correct that the pipes have given way under test? Surveyor: Some have been found broken on testing, between Penrhiw- ceiber and Fcmteynon. Mr. Thomas Jones moved that Mr. Seaton be written to, urging him to prcceed with the work with the utmost rapidity. This course was agreed to.

Side Street and a Lane. Complaints of Refuse and Doubtful Deeds. Rev. F. Richardson, of the Primitive Methodist Churches, wrote complaining of the condition of Bruce Street, Moun- tain Ash (where a P.M. Church is situ- ated) on Sunday mornings. Mr. Thomas Jones: It isn't Bruce Jones' street, is it. (Laughter.) Mr Bruce Jones: No, I wish I had a street. The rev. gentleman pointed out that a tremendous lot of filth and refuse were left about that street after Satur- day nights, just opposite the P.M. Church. The caretaker had been obliged on several occasions to clean the place before the people assembled for morning worship. Mr Noah Bowles: Is this street in the list of streets cleaned by the Coun- cil on Sunday mornings? Surveyor: Nq-. Inspector r. I Visited the place at 8.30 a..m. last Sunday, and everything seemed satisfactory. I saw no filth on the highway. Mr. Noah Bowles said he could cor- roborate every word in the letter. He attended morning service there and he had seen the street in a deolorable con- dition. and it was bo, small or pleasant task to clean the I(,(,. There was a lane alongside the chapel, leading to the underground houses of Napier St. That lane was used a good deal and was used for improper purposes, he was afraid. There v. as a Lodging House close by. and the occupants were going into that Jane, leaving it in anything but a presentable condition. Anyone who cared to wc* foi- himself should Visit the place on a Sunday morning. He moved that the Surveyor put a lamp opposite the lane and that Knight Street be cleaned on Sunday mornings. Mr Bruce Jones: More Sunday labour. Mr N. Bowles: Yes, the question is one of degree with us all. Mr Bowles' motion was agreed to.

Comforts for Welsh Troops. Lady 131viiiotitli and Mrs Lloyd George wrote with respect to the na- tional fund raised for providing com- forts for Welsh troops in all the Welsh regiments. They suggested that the Mountain Ash District Council form a committee, with an energetic secretary to raise funds for providing such gifts' fney further suggested that a move- "\ent observe March 1st as National £ Iag Day, receive, the support of the Council. Mr W. Millar remarked that there was a sewing class in Mountain Ash. but be was not quite sure where the articles made had been sent to. Surveyor The distribution was made a sitfirt while baf'k- and a portion was sent to the oth Wetsh. Jlr Clws. Maddox said there was a similar class at Abercynon, and they had sent goods direct to Admiral Jelll- coe and General French. JIr G. H. Hall suggested that the Chairman oi the Council visit the sew- ing classes with the view of sending material in the way suggested by Lady Plymouth and Mrs. Lloyd George. Mr W. Millar agreed. Mi. Bruce Jones said that a copy of the circular should be sent to each sew ing class. All these suggestions were agreed to.

Committees. Mr Noah Bowles moved that Rev. Geo. Neighbour take the place of the Rev. E. V. Tidman on all the com- mittees, including the Education Com- mittee. Mr. J. Powell seconded.—Carried.

Cradual Reduction. The Inspector at the Penderyn Waterworks reported there was a gradual reduction in the number of workmen engaged at the works. A fortnight ago the number was 13(3; a week ago, 126.

The Cardiff Road Fire. Alarm Beils not in Working Order. The Aberdare District Council sent in a bill for £ 14 16s. for the attendance of the Aberdare Fire Brigade and Engine at the fire which occurred at Mountain Ash on the night of January 22nd. Thp- Surveyor, through the Captain, h a report on the same question. He ,tld that the fire broke out about 9 p.m. Nine officers and men proceed- ed to the scene of the fire. No. 58 Car- diff Road, stores occupied by Mr J. Jarrold, with the upper floor occupied by a tenant. There was some delay in getting a call through, which increased the work of preventing the spread of the flames. There was a high wind blowing at the time. The Mountain Ash Brigade had the fire well in hand, but. he deemed it advisable to call the Aberdare Brigade down, because he thought the fire was spreading Co ad- joining property. The call bells did not act well, and several members of the Brigade did not turn up because the bells did not ring. The damage was estimated at £ 500. The building, it was stated, was not insured, but the contents were insured. The Brigade worked well. Mr N. Bowles: A few more fires and we shall get quite efficient. (Laugh- ter.) Rev. George Neighbour observed that a portion of the ruins of the building looked rather dangerous, and it would be well to take down some overhanging stones. The Surveyor said t- would see to that. He had also written to Mr Pro- bert regarding same. lr. Chris. Maddox said it was rather a serious thing that there should be un- necessary delay in calling the Brigades together. Mr T. Jones suggested that the Post Office be asked to install bigger bells. The report was adopted and the Aher- dare Council bill ordered to be paid.

Fire Brigades in Ceneral. Mr. T. W. Jones asked if members of Fire Brigades attended practices regularlv. Surveyor: Yes, very good, and they are paid according to the attendance. I am not, however, satisfied with one man in Abercvnon. < Mr. Bruce Jones moved that the Sur- veyor take steps to change him. Carried.

Private Street Improvements. A number of owners of property in Conybeare Street, Mountain Ash, wrote with respect to the high amount they were asked to pay for carrying out private street improvements in that street.—The letter was referred to committee. Mr T. W. Jones asked when would the Council proceed with improvements in William Street, Abercynon. The Su rveyor said it would come in its turn shortly.

Miskin Dangerous Spot. Mr Noah Bowles called attention at the last meeting to a dangerous stream near Miskin School (complained of by a Miskin mother in the "Aberdare Leader" a week previous). The stream, which had a strong current during rains, ran into an arch, and it sva's pointed out that If a school-child were carried down there would be a very poor chance of getting it out again alive. It was then resolved to ask Messrs Nixon to fence the wall, and the Surveyor now reported that the work had been carried out very satis- factorily by the Company. Mr. W. Millar also explained what had been done. Mr Noah Bowles remarked that the Company were deserving of the Coun- cil's thanks for their readiness in com- plying with their request.

The Wrong Chapel. Mr. Chas.Inddox referred to a con- tinuous flow of water in Mountam Ash Road, which was a source of nuisance to the people living and travelling that way. Mr. Bruce Jones: It would be a good thing if there was a Baptist Chapel just there instead of the other chapels. (Laughter.)

Medical Officer's Report. Dr. Arthur T. Jones, the acting medical officer of health, who was pres- ent, presented the following fortnightly report: Scarlet fever, 10 cases; diph- theria, 1 case; erysipelas, 4. Anoilier nurse was now temporarily engaged at the hospital.

Report on Cellar Dwellings. The Medical Officer and Sanitary In- spector reported that there were 26 under-dwellings (within the meaning of the Act) in the district. They had in- spected all of them, and found that in 10 cases there was overcrowding, es- pecially in seven of them. In nine dwellings the ventilation was bad. They recommended that letters be sent to the owners, drawing their attention to the requirements and giving them a reasonable time to carry out the work; also that letters be sent to the occu- piers of those houses which are over- crowded The report was adopted. Mr W. Lamburn asked a question as to whether improvements were now being carried out in Union Court, Mountain Ash. The Sanitary Inspector said that amended plans had been received, and the work would be proceeded with shortly.

Abercynon Park. Mr. Bruce Jones: What is the posi- tion regarding the future Abercynon Park? I do not see any sign of it becoming ready by next summer. We have been at it for some years; we have had the land and we've got the money. When does the Surveyor in- tend doing something Surveyor The fencing has been or- dered and is expected this or next week. Wo shall make the road soon after. Mr Bruce Jones I wish ho would push this matter on, because my term of office expires next March. (Loud laughter.) M). Lamburn We must indeed press the work on, because we cannot afford to lose Mr. Jones. It would be rather dull without him.

Penrhiwcelbcr Fire Brigade. A meeting of the Penrhiwceiber Ward Members was held at the Coun- cil Chamber. Town Hall. Mountain Ash. Present, Councillor G. H. Hall in the chair, Councillors Thomas Jones, Evan Morris, and the Surveyor. The Surveyor submitted list of volunteers for Fire Brigade, as supplied by Capt. T. J. Bryer. Proposed by Mr. G. H.

Letters to the Editor. DRINK. Sir,—Alcohol in peace is a curse, but in war time it is worse than any foe, yet we hear that our War Office has dispatched 250 gallons of rum to the troops. We cannot regard this as any- thing other than a temptation to our soldiers: Russia has suppressed the vodka, with the result that industrial activity has increased some 40 or 50 per cent. France, too, has found it exped- ient to put down the sale of absinthe. What about our own country? What is done here? We are told that in Bir- mingham there are 500 public-houses too many. At the Docks in Liverpool the shortage of labour is intensified by the refusal of the men to commence work till Tuesday in each week. They think 'they earn enough in four days to drink and idle the other three lii our own country we learn the "trade" is making its millions out of the degradation and destruction of the people-a slackness which is not only stupid but cruel. Worse than all is this rumour that drunkenness among women is increas- ing. There is need for a grand temper- ance crusade.—Yours, etc., JOHN JONES.

CWMAMAN AUXILIARY FUND. A REPLY TO SOLDIER'S WIFE." Dear Sir,-Kindly allow me a small space to reply to the misrepresentations lolls of a Soldier's Wife in regard to the Cwmaman Auxiliary Fund. Judging by her letter she wishes to lead the public of Cwmaman to think that the committee do not pay out the money which they receive for this fund. Up to January 6th, 191o, the Committee received in money £ 140 4s. 9d., and paid out tl39 7s. in relief. There is still owing one hill for £;5 12s., which will be paid as soon as funds come in. Our treasurer, Mr. Henrv Davis, Mountain Road, will be pleased to show all receipts and all monies re- ceived to "Soldier's Wife," or to any- body who wishes to see same at CWln- aman, and they may also see all books belonging to the Secretary as well. I should like to point out to "Sol- dier's vVife I' that we do not get the proceeds of the Cwmaman Workmen's Picture Palace, only the profits from same, which makes a big difference. Only for two weeks at the starting of the fund did we have the whole of the proceeds. In regard to the trades- people's contributions they only gave once when the fund was opened, al- though they patronise everything that has been got up for this fund. it may be news to "Soldier's Wife regard- ing the prize drawing got up last Christmas that the majority or the Committee contributed Is. each to- wards the prizes, so that the oxponsos should be kept down. Had it not been for the generosity of the Cwmaman Hall Committee and the Cwmaman Choral Society, who gave two concerts, the fund would not have been kept up for so long. The cost of this fund has averaged over til per week, which has meant a lot of work to the Com- mittee, to keep it going. The Committee feel that the majority of the soldiers' wives appreciate what has been done for them, but there are a few who always think they are badly treated. As soon as we have funds the committee will again start paying out. —On behalf of the committee. J. H. JOB, Secretary.

-All?. LLOYD GEORGE AND THE SOCIALIST JEREMIAHS. Dear Sir,—Mr. Keir Ilardie failed to reply to the charges which I made against him, so Mr. Matt Lewis, Mr. Henry George, and the Village Car- penter" undertook to do it for him. These Jeremiahs and Socialist jerry builders, set up to defend the idiotic policy of their leader, and by various methods of contradiction and repetition endeavoured to make the electors more amenable to the Socialist dictation. Now a Mr. I.L.P.er comes along, and like the Socialist he is, complains that there are no D.A.'s in the Aberdare I.L.P. to give it support. Only the hard-earned pence of the victims of the capitalist." What a repellant fellow! How gallant his actions! To slander a capitalist and at the same time crave for his support. D.A.'s indeed! I venture to think that plenty of D.A.'s, if not Pierpont Morgans, are to be found'at the headquarters of the l.L.P. D.A. s, not such as our late representa- tive was, who maintained himself in Parliament as a gentleman should, but Socialist D.A.'s, who have obtained their Parliamentary seats at the ex- pense of the working man by having placed a levy of a shilling upon his hard- earned wages. Oh, for Socialism! What is Socialism worth? Liberalism, and Liberalism alone, is to be thanked for gi-anting each member of Parlia- ment £ 400 a year, and thereby doing away with this disgraceful system- "Nothing succeeds like success," and that is why the Liberal Party is in power to-day. Patriotic merchants charge abnormal prices for their goods, you say. Perhaps they do. You must bear in mind that if yon are not pre- pared to shed your life-blood in de- fence of the Empire then you must pay for it in cash, and reckon yourself a lucky fellow in getting off so cheap. .The war chest must be provided with funds, though you would have it other- wise. And why should you complain at Mr Lloyd George because he provided the banks with funds at the outbreak of wary Oh, for a Business Government! What business virtues do you possess? As a Socialist you would have, the country cast into chaos and ruin, and depositors hammering at the doors of the banks for their money. Time enough to hear your opinion on such matters when you become Chancellor of the Exchequer. Criticism can proper- ly come only from above, and when you discover that Mr Lloyd Georgo is wrong, you can take it from me that yon are no good. If you know any- thing of Socialism you will find that it was not only a necessity to put the banks on their feet, but it was a benevolent act of Socialism, good for rich and poor alike, to enable the people not to have to live to-day on to-mor- row's pay. "1f a statement is worth making it is worth backing up." Of course it is. I presume that the statements of the Village Carpenter and his fellow cranks are not worth making, other- wise they would stick to them and back un what they have said. The fact of the matter is that the persistency of my blows in championing the cause of triith have created such havoc with the firm of Messrs. Hardie and Co. that they can go no further. Their trade is paralysed, just as the trade of Germany is paralysed both on sea and land. With best regards, THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH.

Aberdare Brotherhood. Address by Councillor Noah Bowles- Mr. C. Parr presided at the meeting of the Aberdare Brotherhood at Green Street Chapel on Sunday. The lesson was taken from Psalm 27. Councillor Noah Bowles, Mountain Ash, gave a address on "Social Service." KeveI at any time was there, said he, such a call to participate in social service aj the present time. Seme men served thfjir day and generation by living be' tore their time. That was paradoxical? but perfectly true. Charles Darwin was misunderstood by his contempt" aries. He was a prophet crying in the wilderness. But now his theories formed the basis of recognised scientific conclusions of the day. The saine might be said of Henry Drummond 111 the world of tileglogy. \V' e could not do without the prophets—the men at vision. "leir-e there was no vision thc people perished. Air.
