LUJtTRISANT SCHOOL BOARD. To the Editor of the 'Tree Prem" Sir,—Mr Dan Thomas says that he will en- deavour to adopt as sympathetic and concilia- tory an attitude towards me as he possibly can. What does he mean, I wonder? I shall not ob- ject to any of his natural rough dealings, because he ougji. to know me better than that. What I want is a clear understanding about School Board matters. Mr Thomas charges me with making incorrect and misleading statements. But I shall show that he is the man guilty of that, and that he requires a few more vears' schooling before he can correct me in figures. In the first place he can't quote me correctly. I only said that Mr Dan Thomas's friends are saying that he has saved a lot in me rates. Mr Thomas does not want to make comparisons between this Board and the last. Then whv has he and his friends made such a fiourish about the three- penny rate? His action simply invited criticism. They thought that the ratepayers would, like children, forget the high rates that have been made. I am a very heavy ratepayer, so you see that a low rate is a very pleasing thing to me and not a sore hit. I challenge Mr Thomas to prove that any previous Board had raised so much in the pound as this Board. His own figures, I am delighted to say, bear out my assertion. He says that my figures are not cor, rect. There is a farthing difference between us in the figures for this Board. so there is no need to speak of this. In the figures for the previous Board, he says I am seven pence too little. Well, here are the figures from the financial statements signed by the auditor. I five them in order from 1892 to 1895. (1) Call of £ 1,750 on a rate- able value of £85,789, which is a little less than 5d in the £ (2) call of £2,000 on £ 87,510,which is 5id in the £ (3), call of 2,000 on E81,775, a rate of 6d; (4), call of E2,000 on L81,000, a rate of 6d; (5), call of 92,300 on £ 77,905 a rate of 7id; (6) call of £ 2,500 on E83,403, a rate of 7id. This shows a total of 3s Id, my previous figures. Now I oome to his statement about the clerk's estimates for the past three years. I have seen the original estimates laid before the Board, and I must say that Mr Thomas's state- ments are most unfair to the Clerk. The facts are these: The Clerk's estimates show the amount of money required to pay every tiling, the debt to the bank and the expenditure for the six months. The balance of debt appears every time until it is wiped out. So it is plain that Mr Thomas has reckoned the same money over and over. Now, the amusing part is this: Mr Thomas can't give correctly the calls made by the Board of which he is the member. These are thefigures taken from the Precept boot: £ 15,000, L2,000, £ 16,000, E16,000, kl,000, £ 500. This shows Mr Thomas wrong three times. So much for a man who tries to correct another. One more word about the threepenny rate. I stated that it would be sure to land the next Board in debt. I believe it still, because the next rate will not be collected before June. Mr Thomas states that I have made a personal at- tack on him. but I totally deny that I have made any remarks about Ihim except as a member of the Board, which I have a perfect right to do. I will conclude this letter by asking- Mr Thomas a plain question. There is no doubt that he voted for having another attendance officer. Now, is it a fact that he asked the chair- man to support him for the post?—I am, etc., DAVID RICHARDS. Caerysgol Farm, Tonyrefail.

COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION. The Caerphilly Fight. MR EDWARD EDWARDS' CANDIATURE. The newly formed Liberal Association have, for some ume. been devoting their energies *o the ways and means of securing the triumphant return to the County Council of their adopted candidate, Mr Edward Edwards, J.P. On Thursday, a well attended meeting was held at, the Old Board Schools under the presidency of Councillor William Thomas. Amongt those present were: -Messrs Thomas Jones, George Willey, John Morgan, J. Jenkins (Wernydomen); John Richards, W. A. Phillips. J. H. Phillips, Isaac Roberts, R. W. J. Sutherland, Thomas Rees, D. Salathiel, Rev. J. P. Davies, Messrs E;hv>ar Lewis, Edmund George. John Edwards, Treharris; William Jones, Treharris; James Price, Treharris; Thomas Andrews, Treharris; and the candidate, Mr Edward Edwards, J.P. The Chairman, in stating the object of the meeting., expressed his views with regard to the decision of the association to fight the forth- coming election on political lines. Three years ago, when be had not identified himself with any political party, he supported the candidature of Capt. Lindsay. That campaign was supposed to be conducted on non-political lines. They would, however, remember that the recognised organ of the Conservative party, the "Western Mail" in announcing the result, claimed it a conservative gain. (Shame). This accentuated the position very acutely, and the lesson sank so deep in his mind that he soon afterwards associated himself with the local Liberal Associa- tion. He would like them to understand, how- ever, that this step was taken after his election on the District Council. He was now strongly of opinion that the County Council elections should be fought on political lines. Matters of vital importance to the ratepayers were being continually brought up for consideration at the Council meetings, upon which the influence of the County Council might be very great. It was for the electors to turn that "may be" into "will be." He quoted short extracts from the speeches made by Messrs Tom Ellis and Lloyd George upon the matter of Private Bill Legisla- tion of Wales, in which it was stated that thou- sands of pounds were expended in obtaining Parliamentary powers to provide water supply, etc., and that when there was no opposition. He believed that in Mr Edward Edwards, they had the man of the right calibre to assist the County Council in exercising its influence to modify these crying evils. The fact that Mr Edwards was the first selected candidate of the Liberal Association three years ago, and the only name brought before them on this occasion, was sufficient testimony that he had stood the test of time, and that he had been weighed in the political balance and not found wanting. (Loud oheers). The Secretary (Mr R. Morgan, solicitor), read a letter from Mr Edward Jones, who through illhealth was unable to attend. Mr R. W. J. Sutherland had great pleasure in moving "That this meeting expresses its en- tire confidence in Mr Edward Edwards. J.P., as a fit and proper person to represent the electors of Caerphilly and district on the Gla- morgan County Council, and further promises to use every effort to secure his triumphant return." Continuing, he said it was of the ut- most importance to the electorate that their representative on the Council should be one who belonged to the progressive party, to which, most, if not, all of the hearers at that meeting belons-ed. He felt very pleased that they had a gentleman in their midst of the calibre of C->nn<s])or Wii-am Thomas—(Loud cheers)— who was able to stand and express his opinions so fearlessly on the questions of the day. He was very clad to welcome Mr Edwards to Caer- philly and he trusted they would have the pleasure of seeing him verv often in their midst as their County Councillor. It had been said that Mr Edwanls was unknown, but he had now come to make himself known. He came there with a splendid character from those who had known him for many years, and wat better recommendation need one have than a character from the district in which he lived? He trusted that no personalities would be introduced in this campaign, and hoped to be able te reflect on their work after the election was over, and ex- press themselves in the words employed by Mr Wynford Phillips, the successful candidate in Pembrokeshire—(loud and prolonged cheers)-— who said that "everything had been conducted upon the most gentlemanly lines between him and his opponent." He felt bound to give his reason for onnosing Capt Lindsay. In that gentleman's address, it was said that he came before them without regard to party. But it must be at once seen that he was to be sup- ported by the Conservative party, for the paid organiser of that party from Pontypridd had been imported to aid his candidature. The Liberal Association would look after their own candidate and spare no effort in returning him triumphantly at the bead of the poll. (Hear, hear). One gentleman at the Conservative meet- ing the otfcer night expressed himself as adverse to the ousting of Capt. Lindsay simpl because he had already represented them faithfully on the Council for three years, which time was absolutely necessary to understand the work expected of him. But the gentleman in ques- tion had never said that Mr Edwards had already served his three years apprenticeship on that Council, and that he was in every sense a man who in expressing his own views would also ex- press the views of the majority of the electors. It had also been said that this election would never have taken place were it not for one man. He disclaimed that the gentleman in question belonged to the Caerphilly Liberal Association; in fact, this election was the outcome of the spontaneous desire of Liberals throughout the district. It was now well-known to all that their esteemed member (Mr Alfred Thomas), had been appointed chairman of the Welsh Liberal Party and it was a great honour that they had such a member, and in winning this election they would be propping him up and satisfying him that there was no leakage in his constituency as he might have thought from the result of the previous election. In conclusion, he expressed unbounded pleasure in moving the resolution. Mr R. J. Morgan, solicitor, havinz read the resolution in Welsh, Mr Tom Edwards, Treharris, said lie was glad ) to say he believed in the mission which brought him to Caerphilly for the first time, and that was to relate to them the qualifications of Mr Edwards for the honour the Association were desirous of conferring upon him. As a guardian of the Parish of LIanfabon, he could bear testi- mony to Mr Edwards' exemplary conduct. At their meetings several Liberal measures haa been brought under consideration, such as Taxation of Ground Rents and Royalties, etc., Mr Edwards, in every case proved himself a staunch Liberal, and Capt. Lindsay an extreme Tory. As a neighbour and employer of labour Mr Edwards was simply an example, even to the best in and around the district. His charac- ter was such as to recommend itself to everybody as a faithful son of Gwalia, an ardent Liberal, and one who possesses all the virtues to ensure the sound discharge of the duties entrusted to him as a County Councillor. (Loud applause). Mr Edward Edwards, J.P., then rose amid loud cheering, and said although he had been in Caerphilly hundreds of times, it was said that he was unknown, and it therefore remained to him to avail of this opportunity to make him- self better known to them. With regard to his vic-w-4 politically, he would tell them that he was the chairman of the first meeting held in support of Mr Alfred Thomas' candidature some years ago, and had always been a Liberal. (Hear, hear). There were many who thought that politics were never introduced into the County Council meetings; but he assured them that when the questions of Disestablishment of the Church of England in Wales, and Taxa- tion of Ground Rents and Royalties were there discussed the Tories voted against them. (Shame). It was not necessary for him^to tell them that Capt. Lindsay was a Tory. (No, no). The County rate during his (Mr Edwards) re- presentation was 3Jd, but it is now about six- pence in the pound. He impressed upon the meeting the absolute necessity of returning practical and experienced men to the County Council. He added that he was a large employer of labour, and during t thirty-four years lie had be-m in business, he had never had a dispute with his employees; in fact, those who were with him twenty years ago were with him. to- day. He explained the duties of the various committees of the County Council, and said during his previous membership he had been selected a member of four out, of the six com- mittees. That was, in his opinion, a strong prcof that his experience had been valued. (Hear, hear).' In conclusion, he appealed for the support of the electors, promising to address them still further at a meetirfg to be held at, the Market Hall on the 5th March, when Mr Alfred Thomas, M.P., would attend. (Hear, hear). Mr Thos. Andrews, in an able and stirring speech, testified to the qualifications of Mr Edwards as an experienced man, capable ot rendering invaluable services to the community, if elected. The speaker also referred to the candidate as a staunch Liberal, and an unflagging supporter of the measures promoted by the Progressive Party to redress the grievances ot the masses. Mr James Pierce said considering the hundreds of times Mr Edwards had sat on the magisterial bench at Caerphilly he was glad to hear the Cacrphillyites saying he was unknown to them. That was very gratifying indeed. (Laughter and applause). Referring to the opponent, lie said that Capt. Lindsay was a gentleman whom they all respected, but the fact remained that he was a Tory, and the feeling throughout the con- stituency was that they were mis-represented. (Loud cheers). He had voted against Taxation of Wayleaves and Ground Rents, which was a clear proof that he was not in touch with the masses.(Quite right and hear, hear).Mr Edwards on the other hand, he could safely recommend as a person in whom the electors could place impli- cit trust to watch their interests, and lend his sunport on all que ions affecting the welfare of his constituency. Councillor D. Morgan, in the course of a lengthy address, dwelt upon the merits of Mr Edwards, whom he had known for forty years, and referred to a case at Treharris where royal- ties to the sum of £1,000 were paid to the land- owner, who contributed not a single farthhv to- wards ..lie expenses of the district. He regret- ted the Liberals lost the seat at the election three years ago, whidh fact must have been rather discouraging to their faithful standard- bearer in the House of Commons-Mr Alfred Thomas—(loud choers)—and now that that gentleman had been selected chairman of the Welsh Parliamentary Party, it was their duty as electors to prove to him that the Liberalism of his constituency was stronger than ever. by voting for Mr Edward Edwards. (Hear. hear). '1 He resolution was put to the meeting and enthusiastically carried. On the motion of Mr Edwards, seconded by Mr John Morgan, a hearty vote to the chairman brought the meeting to a close.

Pearl Life Assurance Company. Many are the advantages offered to the public in general to have the fruit of their dailv toil safely invested and to prepare for the various storms that overcome all classes in lifetime, and alsd to compensate the aged and the thrift in advanced years. Second to none of these in- stitutions we find the Pearl Life Assurance Com- paq London, a society which is making rapid and sound progress year after year. I heir last report, which will be found in another column, give the result of their success for the year 1897. We cannot refrain from highly complimenting the company as to the quality of their manage- ment' it is evident that they are men of ex- perience and thrift, who possess the qualifica- tions of business men. Notwithstanding, the great struggle in labour, and depressed trade durinf the year 1897, we find that the company attained a record in their savings, and the fol- lowing fieures will prove to assurers, and also intending assurers, that the company is beyond any doubt a safe investment and in a good sol- vent position. The premium income has reached the sum of £ 617.897 5s Id. The claims paid out last year amounted to £ 190,046 5s Id, mak- ing a total since the company's formation of the enormous sum of £1.964,564 2s. When we come to look at these figures uie question arises "What would our rates amount to if it were not for Life Assurance?" "e maintain that if everv householder would take out a policy on .e ,v his life, there would be less destitute families, and more comfortable homes. Although the lar-- amount of money was paid in claims by this company last year, we are pleased to find that their savings reached a record, amounting to 9108,611 2s 7d, making- the Life Assurance fund with capital paid up the enormous amount of £ 718,324- 8s 2d. In concluding our remarks, we do no, hesitate to say that the company should have the consideration of every man, and to recommend the office as being one of the best in existence.

♦ SERIOUS ALLEGATION AGAINST A RHONDDA COLLIER. At the Porth Police Court on Thursday—be- fore the Stinendiary-Rosellen Payne, a married woman, of Tonvrefail, summoned a Llw/u/pia collier, named Walter Jones, for attempting to indecently assault her. Prosecutrix's story was to the effect that on the previous Sunday week, about 7.30 p.m., the defendant came to her house at Tonyrefail whilst her husband was out. She had known him before. He first of all asked where the baby was, and she replied "up- stairs." He then caught hold of her by the waist, turned her-about the room, and made an improper rtemark. She expostulate with him, and reminded him that she was a married woman. Defendant denied all knowledge of the affair,. and inasmuch as the woman had no evidence to corroborate her statement, the case was dismissed.
