Thomas prosecuted, and Mr. E. T. Leyshon defended. Mrs. Williams said that on August 15th she went to the farm to milk the cows. Her husband supplied Mr. Walters, de- fendant's employer, with milk. Defend- ant refused to take a pint of milk from her, and eventually struck her on the shoulder, and she fell. She sustained several injuries. Her husband picked her up. Then defendant struck her again with his hand and with the whip. Mr. Levshoji: She did not kick defend- ant twice. She did not slash him with the whip across his face. She did not throw cow-dung at the man, or kick him on the shins. It was not true that her husband said, "Go for him, Mary. She had not tried to get Jones dismissed from his employment because she had a grudge against him. Wm. Williams, the complainant's hus- band, confirmed his wife's story. Jones, he said, remarked, "I am go in? to play little hell with you. I am paid for this. Asked bv the Stipendiary what he was doing while defendant was assaulting his wife, Williams said he did nothing, only tell Jones that he would be taken before his betters. Stipendiary: That is a compliment to me, I suppose. Questioned by Mr. Leyshon, Williams denied having shouted, "Go for him, Mary." Ivor Gane, a Penywain lad, said that he saw Jones strike Mrs. and her husband pick her up, Mrs. Williams did nothing to Jones. Dr. Roberts, Trecyncn, testified that he examined Mrs. Williams, and found sprains and bruises on her. David Jones, the defendant, said that the woman gave him two kicks, and afterwards slashed him with his own whip for fully five minutes. Then she threw dung at him. 4.1.■ J.

The case of Mary Roberts v. Watkin Roberts, Hirwain, was again adjourned, defendant in the meantime to pay 10s. a week towards his wife. ALLEGED VICTIMISATION. MINER SAYS THAT HE WAS A ¡ MARKED MAN. William Jones summoned the Bwllfa Colliery Co. for < £ 10 in respect of an al- leged breach of contract. Mr. W. P. Nicholas appeared for com- plainant, and Mr. C. B. Stanton, miners' agent, watched the proceedings. ) Mr. C. Kenshole appeared for defend- ants. Complainant said that he went to the Bwllfa Colliery to look for work recent- ly. He saw Mr. W. Jones, the under- manager, and Mr. Gwilym Rees, the overman, and eventually got work, but was ultimately stopped. Complainant then made a lengthy statement, in the course of which he said that he had been working previously at the Bwllfa, and had been stopped. Wm. Jones, the under- manager, now told him definitely that he could not work there, because his name was down on a certain book. He had signed the contract book and therefore he claimed damages. was down on a certain book. He had signed the contract book and therefore he claimed damages. By Mr. Kenshole: He was being vic- timised, and that was why he was stopped. Complainant went on to say that after he obtained work some communication had been made to the manager, who after- wards gave orders through the telephone that complainant was to be stopped, but he had no evidence of that. He was only infermg that it was so. infermg that it was so. Wm. Williams, manager of No. 3 Pit, said that he did not know complainant at all, until he came to him on this oc- casion. Witness gave instructions to Mr. Gwilym Rees, the overman, regard- ing him. It was not true that he re- ceived certain information regarding Jones and afterwards telephoned mstruc- UO tions to stop him. Mr. Nicholas: Do you solemnly say that you have no list of marked men at the colliery? Witness: Yes, neither have I seen one at all. Gwilvm Bees. overman at the colliery, said that he was at the lamproom when complainant signed on. Witness_ sent him to a certain stall. He told witness that he did not care for this place, and made a request for another. Witness had no other place, and suggested that com- plainant should go to a contractor. Wit- ness did not see him afterwards. By Mr. Nicholas: The contractor was John He did not know that complainant had had a row with Mr. H. H. Evans, the manager, 3 years ago, and that he had been refused work subse- quently. William Jones, under-manager at me colliery, said that complainant came to him oil the morning in question, and asked for a place somewhere else, mas- much as the place he had did not suit him. This witness swore that he never told defendant that he would not get work at anv of the collieries. The Stipendiary said that there was considerable difficulty in connection with this case. However, he would have to find for the defendants,, because upon the whole complainant had failed to es- tablish his case.

--------Aberdare Deanery S.S.
Aberdare Deanery S.S. Association. The annual meeting of the above Asso- ciation was held on Monday at Aberdare. A service was held in St. Elvan's Church, the special preacher being the Rev. D. D. Richards, Penydarren. He dwelt on the importance of the minor offices in the church. This was followed by a business meeting at the Memorial Hall, when the chair was occupied by the Rev. D. E. Roberts, Mountain Ash. The Rev. D. J. Arthur, secretary of the Welsh section, gave his report. The Rev. W. H. Jones followed with a report of the English section. In the course of his report he stated that at a time when various de- nominations were bewailing serious de- creases in Sunday School membership it was gratifying to record that this Asso- ciation continued to hold its own. In 1909 there were 260 teachers and 4,897 scholars on the registers of the Associ- ated Sunday Schools. In 1910 there were 263 teachers and 4,433 scholars. He would urge that a special effort be mode, this year by each Sunday School and Bible Class, by clergy and laity, to secure better attendance of scholars. Rev. D. J. Arthur was appointed presi- dent of the Association for the ensuing year. Rev. W. H. Jones was re-elected secretary (English section), and Rev. Geo. Thomas, Mountain Ash, elected secretary of the Welsh section. Mr Alfred Morgan, Mountain Ash, was appointed vice-presi- dent (English section), and Mr. John Davies, Cwmdare (Welsh section).

BONES THROUGH HIS SKIN.
BONES THROUGH HIS SKIN. Given up as hopeless. A Baby's Extraordinary Cure by DR. CASISELL'S TABLETS. Mrs. L. Peers, 14, May Lane, King's Heath, Birmingham, writes :—I must thank you for the marvellous effects Dr. Cassell's Tablets have had on my little boy. He suffered from a baby, not being able to keep any food on his stomach and consequently lost flesh, and he was so bad that his bands and knees were all drawn up to his body and contracted, and his bones came through his skin. I tried several patent foods and he was treated at a hospital and a dispensary, but all to no good, and I thought he would not live a month. Then I tried Dr. Cassell's Tablets, and after taking only one he kept his first bottle of milk down, and soon he gained flesh rapidly and is now in splendid health. He could not be vaccinated owing to his bad condition, but after a fortnight's treatment with Dr. Cassell's Tablets he was vaccin- ated." Sold at all chemists at IOtd, 1 1.1 and 2/9. Dr. Cassell's Tablets are a perfect remedy for weak and nervous children they are guaranteed safe for the youngest child, and will absolutely cure loss of flesh, spinal and nerve paralysis, rickets, St. Vitus Dance, stomach dis- order, and all diseases arising from physical and nerve exhaustion.

St. John's Bible Class, Aberdare,
St. John's Bible Class, Aberdare, At the monthly meeting of the above class on Sunday, the Rev. W. H. Jones presiding, Mr. Fred Williams, M.A., Science Master at the Ferndale Secondary School, gave an illuminating paper on Some other religious systems than Christianity." He dealt particularly with Confucianism and Buddhism, the religions of China. He stated that Con- fucius was born 551 B.C., and the system which bears his name is a theory rather than a religion. He was an earnest re- former trying to see light, of the simplest habits, poor and honest. He did not trouble himself with the future nor as to a God. He laid emphasis on learning loyalty and especially filial obedience as qualities for cultivation. Confucianism centred around the worship, not of God, but of one's ancestors. Buddhism had 370 million adherents. There were two forms of it. Gatama the Buddha founded the one the speaker dwelt upon. Gatama tried to solve the mystery of life. He de- clared that salvation consisted in the abolition of ignorance. Transmigration 1 was the chief point of Buddhism, which was atheistic and materialistic, and the parent of infidelity and superstition. In the discussion which followed the following took part: The President, Mr. T. Lloyd, Mr. Bath, and Mr. C. R. Vicary, the last-named pointing out that the Buddhists and Confucians were grop- ing for that truth and light which were ihe possession of the followers of Christ, who is the "Truth and the Light." A very hearty vote of thanks was passed to the speaker for his excellent paper. Mr. Williams, at the close of the meeting, kindly offered to continue his paper on the 1st Sunday in October, and to take the subject of "Mohammedan- ism."

I Two Kinds of Men and Women, The Leaders and the Led. ¡ The Food that Builds Energy I, There is no better way of building up Enduring Energy than by starting and ending the day with a cup of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa. A cup at breakfast will sustain the worker's energy through- out the da,y. another cup before going to bed will bring restful sleep-sleep so restful that brain, nerves and muscles ail rest and recuperate. Next morning you rise rested and refreshed, energetic and eagei- for the work of the day. This is because Vi-Cocoa is a food- drinh. It is not a mere drink. Neither is it a mere liquid stimulant. It is a food which is quickly, easily and wholly I digested. ¡ If you would like to learn how to keep up your strength—how to improve your health and. spirits—get a 6d., 9d, or 1/6 tin of Vi-Oocoa from your grocer or stores to-aay. Vi-Cocoa is easy to make. And you will like the rich flavour of Vi-Cocoa. Try it to-day, or not later than to-morrow. Do not ask your grocer for cocoa Ask for —it makes all the difflèret'tce.

DEATH TRAPS AT CWMBACH. Sir,—Having read of the shocking accident which befellittle John Connelly at Penyrheol, Caerphilly, last week may I, in the interests of humanity, trespass a little upon your space to call attention to some disused pit-shafts at Cwmbaeh. which are similar sources of danger. I allude to Lower Lewis's Pit, in close proximity to" the Hall! and Library in course of erection, and Upper Lewis's Pit at the Tunnel." Both have walls around them, it is true, but in some parts they are under four feet high, and are built with stones having such projected surfaces as to afford footholds and grips to aiiy ycut,h'Nvho feeLi curious to have a look over. Moreover, within the wails of both pits blackberries grow profusely, and lads have been seen running along the tops I of the walls and dropping inside on to some wooden stayers, which, owing to long exposure and disuse cannot be of much strength. On'e false step or the I giving way oi one of these rotten beams would certainly mean the hurling of I some unfortunate child down a shaft hundreds of feet deep. The "Flue," a. short distance from the Upper Pit, is even a greater danger, as one can veritably walk rig hi; into it at two places and since children constantly play in its vicinity, gathering berries, hazel nuts, etc., must another innocent and playful life be destroyed before suit- able safeguards are effected? When these matters are seen to, the result will be an immense boon to many a parent. "TUNNELITE." L .NI

Coal Board Attacked.
Coal Board Attacked. Miners' Meeting at Abercynon. The members of the Abercynoll Lodge of the South Wales Miners' Federation held their annual demon- stration on Monday. Mr William Jenkins presided, and the Federation resolution was proposed by Mr J, Morgan and seconded by Mr Rees Thomas. Mr George Barker, supporting, said there had been a great deal in the Press lately about the unrest in the Labour world. A Tory daily paper had said it was due to the Eight Hours Act, The unrest existed not only among the miners, but also amongst the railway- men and members of the Shipping Federation. It was due, as a matter of fact, to the increased intelligence of the wealth producers of the country. Although the profits from the various industries of the country were increas- ing by leaps and bounds, the wages of the producers were getting lower. A great deal had been said about the recent coal agreement. At the begin- ning of the year the selling price of coal was 14s per ton and the percentage was 50 per cent. At the present time coal sold at 14s lOd per ton, but the percen- age remained unchanged. Thus by the recent agreement tl5,000 had been lost to the miners of South Wales. There were defects in the policy of the Federation. The Conciliation Board I was also defective. It was termed the Conciliation Board, but it was never designed to conciliate. Unless' its con- stitution was altered the workers could not expect to secure what they were I agitating for. He dwelt upon matters of dispute under Rule 5 of the Concili- ation Board. Disputes were brought before the board and arbitrators were appointed to deal with them. These men sometimes spent as long as three months before going into the matter, and occasionally a year elapsed before anything was done. In the meantime the workers concerned were being exploited. A. vigorous fighting policy was required. He favoured the with- drawal from the pits of the low wage men, whose wages did not reach a minimum of 3s 4d, plus percentages. (Applause.) j RULE XX. Mr C. B. Stanton (the Aberdare miner's agent) said he was- still confid- ent that there would' be a chance of fighting the 20th rule of the M.F.G.B. Personally, he was not in favour of the last South Wales Coal Agreement, but ¡ he realised that it was useless fighting I sectionally over it. Mr Stanton dealt with the impending conference respect- ing the proposed reform of the Feder- ation. It would, he said, create a stronger fighting policy than had ever existed before. It was proposed to spend the money in such a way as to stop the tactics that were being resorted to by the employers at the present time. (Cheers.) Mr Stanton said that Mr D. A Thomas, M.P., was talking a lot, say- ing that he was getting tired of these little sectional struggles. Mr Stanton said he knew this much—Mr D. A. Thomas had not made a bad thing out of the work of the colliers, He was surprised that Mr Thomas should talk I so flippantly of what he had done for the colliers. He had been posing as an up-to-date Liberal and had secured I' their votes and built up a huge business concern. As to Federation reform. Mr Stanton said that a, greater fighting I spirit was needed, more than higher I contributions, (Applause.) I Councillor Silas Williams, Ynysybwl, | aiso^ spoke, and the resolution was carried unanimously, ?

IThe Late Dr Phillips.
I The Late Dr Phillips. Dr. Maurice Phillips left Siloa, Aber- dare, for India in 1861. He proved him- self before the Directors, in London, a plucky aSad well equipped young man for his-task. When one asked him, "Young man, do you think you can convert India P" his reply was, "No, only God can do that, and with His aid I am going 1 ¡ to have a try." In liis station at Salem I I' he had to do a great deal of a pioneer's work-had to build his own house, and his chapei, and had to ride hundreds of miles on the wildest pony. He did some marvellous work there, work which de- spaired some of his successors. He was a racy and humorous speaker, a first rank preacher, and most popular in the open- air. His great powers were constructive. ,(a. a builder, and he will live long in the churches and schools • of India, and in the thousands of souls he won over to Christ Jesus. He was a strong writer; and his book on the "Teaching of the Vedas" has a distinct standing, and will be read and quoted by the his- torians of the future. On Sunday evening last, in Siloa, Aber- dare, the pastor, Rev. D. Silyn Evans, addressed the children on Dr. Maurice Phillips, and then he spoke to the adults present on the service of the good man to his country and the world. He was the defence of his country, the leading social life of his country, and a future inspiration for good to his country. Recently an address was presented 'o Dr. Phillips in appreciation of his ser- vices as missionary. A short time ago' he sent a copy of the address as a gift to Siloa, his mother church.. This was mounted by the members of Siloa, and is now hung up in the new Siloa Hall.

Colliery Examiners' Association.
Colliery Examiners' Association. At a well-attended meeting of the Aber- dare Branch held at the Castle Hotel, Aberdare, on Saturday night last, Mr. Wm. Samuel, Cwmaman, read a paper on "Flame and Combustion." During the first week in August the Glamorgan Education Committee had arranged a series of evening lectures solely for the benefit of firemen and shot-firemen. The Aberdare Branch and other lodges grasped the privilege thus extended, and a num- ber of the members were appointed to attend these lectures at the University, Cardiff, their expenses being allowed. This paper by Mr. Samuel is the result of attending these lectuies, and is a report of one of them delivered by Prof. Thomp- son at the University. He dealt with the subject admirably, and specially treated upon the dangers attributed to the same in the mine. A good discussion followed, which will be continued at the next meeting' on Oct. 1st. Papers and discussions of this nature will take place at each meeting during the coming ses- sion, and all firemen should make an effort to attend, as the object aimed at is that humane one of minimizing mine accidents.
