District Council Election.
District Council Election. MR. A. P. JONES' CANDIDATURE. A meeting in support of Mr. A. P. Jones's candidature was held at Zion Chapel Vestry on Wednesday evening, the 23rd inst. The place was comfortably filled, and Mr. Thos. Roderick, Stuart- street, occupied the chair. The Chairman, in a few well chosen words, opened the proceedings, and ex- pressed the hope that Mr. Jones would receive the same substantial support as he did when he was returned at a bye- election about 18 months ago. Person- ally, he thought the two retiring mem- bers merited their whole-hearted support, and that it was a pity the Town should be put to the expense and inconvenience of a election. (Hear, hear.) Mr. A. P. Jones then addressed the meeting, and at the outset said that there was one thought uppermost in their minds, of more importance at the moment than any local election, and that was the trouble in the coal trade, which he sin- cerely hoped would be solved in such a manner as to prevent the possibility of a cessation of work, which would be disas- trous, not only to those directly inter- ested, but also to the thousands indirect- ly dependent on the trade throughout the whole of South Wales. (Cheers.) Adverting to the impending Election, he felt to some extent that they might have been spared a contest in this par- ticular Waid, as Mr. D. P. Davies was an dd member who had served the town in the old Board of Health and in the Dis- trict Council for a great number of years, and he himself had only been on the Council for a short period. At the same time, he recognised that any one had an equal right to come forward if likely to be supported by a substantial number of ratepayers in the Ward. He had not a word to say against Mr. James, and as there were three candi- dates in the field, it was a matter entire- ly for the ratepayers as to how they were to dispose of their two votes—(hear, hear)—but he (Mr. Jones) would be very glad to receive one of those votes. (Cheers.) Mr. Jones then proceeded to deal with the various matters that had I been dealt with by the Council since he had been a member. As regards the Housing Scheme, he had opposed the scheme put forward, particularly to the preposal for erecting a number of houses on Cwmbach Road, to be let at rentals which, from the outset, would leave a de- ficiency to be provided by the ratepayers. He thought it unreasonable that people residing in the town ward, who had made sacrifices to pay into building clubs so as to secure houses of their own, should be called upon to pay towards any defici- ency that might arise from the letting of houses owned by the Council. (Cheers.) The scheme had, however, been consider- ably revised, and the Council was now unanimous in carrying it out and giving it a fair trial; but there was still to be settled the question as to where the houses should be located. #He had offered strong opposition to the Electric Lighting Scheme, on the ground that it was a serious matter to expend something like < £ 17,000 on works for supplying elec- tricity to a portion of the town, without some prospect of its being likely to prove remunerative. (Hear, hear.) He felt that undertakings of the kind carried out by ratepayers' money, or their credit, should be self-supporting, and this was apparently the view taken by the Local Government Board, who, while granting the power sought for the necessary loan for carrying out the work, felt exceeding- ly dubious as to the financial success of the scheme, and gave a somewhat grudg- ing consent to the scheme being proceed- ed with. However, as the scheme had been finally sanctioned, it would be his duty, if returned, to assist in its develop- ment. (Hear, hear. ) Turning to Education, Mr. Jones ex plained that, owing to certain changes demanded by the Board of Education in regard to the improved quality of the teaching staff, necessitating the payment of higher salaries, the expenditure had already considerably increased, and 4 would be still likely to go up. No one begrudged the expenditure of money on the education of the children, but it was for the Education Committee to see that the best results should be aimed at. (Hear, hear.) The tendency in the past had been to offer too many inducements for boys and girls to enter the teaching prcfession, with the result .that the mar- ket was overstocked, and he only read that morning that of the 5,000 odd teach- ers who left their various colleges at the end of June last, over 1,500 were said to be still out of employment. They should aim at varying the teaching upon more general lines. This was a matter he had already taken up in connection with the Higher Standard Schools, and hoped to be given the opportunity of following it up. (Cheers.) 1 Several of those present supported Mr. Jones's candidature, ,and at the close a vote of confidence was unanimously passed. On the following night Mr. Jones ad- dressed a meeting at Bethel Vestry, Abernant, which was well attended, the chair being occupied by Mr. John Jones, of Agents'-row. The candidate spoke in Welsh and English, and at the close it was unanimously agreed to support his candidature.
Nervous Disorders on the increase.
Nervous Disorders on the increase. THE REASON WHY AND A REMEDY. Nervous disorders are unquestionably on the increase. Every medical practi- tioner who has an extensive practice finds that he gets an increasing number of nerve patients year after year in propor- tion to the number of,/patients who con- sult him for other ailments. Why this is so does not seem quite clear, although there are a few definite factors at work which can be distinctly recognised. Among these influenza holds an import- ant place; it is a disease that specialty tends to go for" the nervous system, and each successive outbreak of influenza -one might now almost say annual out- break—leaves a very large number of weakened nervous systems behind it. And although the nerve weakness and intense nervous depression left by influenza may apparently be recovered from within a comparatively short space of time, as a rule the nervous system that has been weakened by influenza is for many years unable properly to bear the strain of overwork or undue worry. What is to be done? In the first place don't overrate your powers of endurance. Take due precautions, and face the world with the comforting assurance that you 1 will be able to stand the strain. What you really need to do this effectually is a beverage at cnce refreshing, pleasant to the palate, and strengthening to both mind and body. Such a food-beverage is Dr. Tibbies Vi-Cocoa. It has made happy many a home which otherwise to- day would have been wretched, and the ultimate effects of which it is impossible to foresee. For breakfast, dinner, sup- per—indeed at any hour of the twenty- fcur- Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa will be found ¡ light and refreshing; it leads the way among all beverages, costs but sixpence a packet, and nothing can equal it. Do not ask your grocer for cocoa. Ask for —it makes all the difference. Every grocer sells Vi-Cocoa in 6d. packets and 9d. and Is. 6d. tins.
Football.
Football. BY aSPECT A TOR." Aberdare & District Thursday League. On Good Friday morning the local eleven were opposed to Mid-Rhondda, their most dangers rivals in the above co petition. The homesters were the first to attack, bnt the forwards were evident- ly not at their best. The light ball made it almost impossible to play a short passing game, and this greatly handi- capped Ivor Davies and Co. The interval arrived without a score. In the second 'half 'Rees James had a chance when only a few yards out, but he kicked yards over the bar. He made amends a few minutes later, when from quite 15 yards range he drove in a beauty. The homesters again came away with a bang, and Josh Woollacotte tipped the ball across to Ivor Davies, who made no mistake with his shot. Alf Pickering put on one of his well known sprints and overtook the player in possession, but unfortunately fouled him within the a area. n Phillips was beaten from the resultant penalty. A few minutes later time was- called, the home. team winning a hard and fast game by '2 goals to 1. O O "O In the afternoon (Good Friday) the Aberdare Senior Eleven entertained Wey- mouth in a Western League fixture. A trial was given to Parkes, of Penrhiwcei- ber, in the Centre. Referee, Mr. Curtis, Bristol. The game was of a very tame character throughout. It was not until 15 minutes before the finish that Parkes, who hafl been giving a very good display, netted the first goal., Bradbury a few- minutes later added the second. Final score: Aberdare, 2 goals; Weymouth, nil. o o o On Saturday Kingswood Rovers, who robbed Aberdare of two valuable points when playing on the Chequers Ground, paid the return visit to the Ynys. Parkes was again included in the home eleven. Referee, Mr, Summerhill, Bristol. T. D. Jones opened the score. The Dare forwards kept up a continual attack, and but for fine defensive tactics by the Rovers' backs would have piled up goals. Bradbury and T. D. Jones again beat lies, and just before the interval Chap- man added the fourth goal. Half-time score: Aberdare, 4 goals; Kingswood I Rovers, nil. O O o The second half was of a very one-sided character, the home forwards and halves indulging in a lot of fancy work. Sam Farringdon irritated the crowd with his dilly-dally tricks. Goals were added by Joe Lewis, Sam Farringdon, Parkes (2), and Bradbury. Final score: Aberdare, 9 goals; Kingswood, nil. 0 0 0 Southern League. On Easter Monday, at Salisbury, Aberdare delighted the home spectators with a display of foot- ball such as is rarely witnessed in the old City. From start to finish the for- wards, who were well served behind, brought off those short passing bouts so characteristic of Aberdare football. The City men were fully extended, but they nevertheless put on the only goal of the match, scored in the second 45. Parkes and Bradbury were prominent with sever- al good shots, all of which however failed to find the net. 000 On Tuesday afternoon Radstock were the visitors to the New Athletic Grounds in search of Western League points. Sam Parker, Tom Daniel Jones and Joe Lewis stood down. Levi (of Mardy), McAllister, and Billy Thomas filled up the vacancies. Mr. Jack Havard took charge of the game. The interval arrived with a blank score sheet. Levi opened the score, and but for splendid goal-keeping, the visi- tors would have suffered a severe trounc- ing. Parkes, who played at outside left, was a great success, his centreing being a feature of this moiety. Le-vi again scored, and when time was called the Darians were leading by 2 goals to nil. BY "MUDDIED OAF." RUGBY. The death is announced from Halifax of J. Ernie Jones, who played with dis- tinction for Mountain Ash during the club's palmy days. o o On Easter Monday the Mountain Ash XV. entertained their old rivals, Tre- orky, in the return match under the aus- pices of the Glamorgan League.

Local Cricket Notes.
Local Cricket Notes. BY "TURFITE." The Aberdare Cricket League, formed: last year, has revived the interest which was at one time taken in the game of cricket in the valley. It is often said that cricket in South Wales is decadent, but not so in the Aberdare Valley, for since the local league was inaugurated several new clubs have sprung into exist- ence, most of which have signified their intention of joining the League next season. For the last few weeks the League offi- cials and committeemen have been busy making arrangements for the forthcom- ing season. Already fifteen teams hail- ing from different parts of the valley and from the districts of Merthyr, have made application for admission, and ere the closing date arrives it is confidently ex- pected that the number will be brought up to twenty. It may at first appear strange that in- asmuch as the Cricket Season is so short so many teams have been allowed to en- rol. In order not to disappoint any ap- plicants, and to facilitate matters, the -League Committee have very wisely de- cided to form two divisions with a limit of ten teams in each division. The championship will be decided in a match between the top team in each division. Cwmaman, the last season's champions, will sadly miss 'Tommy' George, who has been appointed captain of the Roberts- town Club. 'Tommy,' who is an all- round good player, rendered veoman ser- vice to the champions last season, and their success was largely due to his presence in their ranks. Robertstown ought to hold a good position in the league during the coming season.
