ELECTION NOTES.
ELECTION NOTES. Rhos was early astir on Friday, the day of the poll. Those who got up late were surprised to see the streets so bust- tinge The ordinary Friday morning sleep- iness was changed to one of much stir and excitement. The schools, of course, were given a holiday, and the miners of the collieries U played." These two facts alone, per- haps, would account for the number of people in the streets but it was the gen- eral feeling of expectancy that always ac- companies the polling day, that caused people to parade the chief streets, on the look out tor something to happen. # Polling at Rhos schools commenced quite early. There was a steady proces- sion of voters, up School street all day, nearly all sporting red. Occasionally a blue -Y favour was to be seen in the coat of some hardy spirit, who, whenever he passed a small knot of people, was stared at and bco'd as though he was a notor- ious criminal. Extra policemen were to be seen parad- ing Hall-street, all day. It was evidently thought there would be trouble, but nothing at allhappened in the way of disturbance or rowdyism. Sir Foster Cunliffe, accompanied by his step-mother, Lady Cunliffe, visited Rhos rather early. He was accorded the usual Rhos reception as he sped along in his blue-draped motor car. There were those who sought the opportunity of stripping the blue ribbons off the car, but owing to the speed of the motor, all at- tempts in this direction failed. The spoilers however, attempted to strip the blue ribbon off a Conservative trap in Hall street. The horse was stop- ped, and one man was busy fumbling the knot, when the steed bolted. Thus was the despoiler spoiled. Mr Hemmerde visited Rhos in the late afternoon, accompanied by Mr Wm Jones, M.P., Alderman Edward Hughes, and the Mayor of Wrexham. There were outbursts of cheers wherever he was seen, and every time his car stopped he was surrounded by a crowd of people. By seven o'clock, it was made known that as far as Rhos, Ponkey, and Pant were concerned, there would be a record poll. The local Committee Rooms were humming with activity, and messengers whipping up the few laggards, were des- patched here, there, and everywhere Many voters had to be conveyed in traps., the occupants being unable to walk. The booths were closed at eight o'clock and the streets became much quieter. There were no more motor cars to greet, and no more blue ribbons to hoot, or red to cheer. I A word of praise is due to the plucky 1 little band of Sir Foster's helpers who I were posted at Rhos. They sported their colours openly, and went about their work with courage and determination. Political frankness is to be admired, and they were examples to the many Tories who, passing through Rhos, wore the Liberal colours. The result of the poll was declared at Wrexham, about mid-day on Saturday. The counting begin at nine o'clock, and Mr G. H. F. Robertson, declared the ce suit as follows Hemmerde (L) 6.265 Cunliffe (C) 3.544 Majority 2721 The result was received with great cheering by the crowd assembled outside the County Buildings. To many in Rhos, the result was a little -disappointing. The Liberal majority had been predicted at something over three thousand. 9,809 electors voted out of a register of JI,190-an increase of 756 upoi the poll in 1906, and a record for the division. Mr Hemmerde polled 5,917 votes in 1906, and 6,265 on Friday, an increase of 348 votes. In 1906 Mr Boscawen polied 3,126 votes. Sir Foster Cunliffe received 3,544 votes, an increase of 418 votes. After the declaration of the result, Mr. Hemmerde said his only duty was to pro- pose a vote of thanks to the Sheriff and to all who had helped in the administration of the election, and he was sure they could congratulate themselves on the result. It had been a iiii).,t excelknr con- test, in which the,Libenii party h p)Ped its record, and the Unionist parly had polled its record, and he congratulated his friend, Sir Foster Cnalisle in having polled the Unionist record. Sir Foster Cunliffe said he endorsed what Mr Hemmerde had said. He con- gratulate 1 Mr Hemmerd-i on his hand- some victory, and the Conseivative party un having achieved a record poll. In the afternoon Mr Hemmerde kicked Dff In the final tie at Rhostyllen between Jthos Rangers and Cosrdposth.

Mr Hemmerde M.P., on the Result.
Mr Hemmerde M.P., on the Result. From the balcony of the Imperial Hotel on Saturday, after the poll, Mr Hemmerde said :—I desire to thank all of you tor the splendid way in which you have supported the cause of Liberalism at this election. (Cheers.) We have sent a message to Mr Lloyd George (Cheers)—that far from there being any wavering in the support for him and for the Welsh party, we have actually polled the largest poll on record- by seven hundred. There may be ebbing tides and faint hearts in other parts of the country, but they will be no ebb in the tide of Welsh Liberalism—(cheers)—until the flood has carried us on to that goal to which all true hearted Welshmen wish our politics to lead. So long as there are these great social reforms to do, so long will Wales remain solid for progress, and I congratulate you most heartily. If you have not increased the majority you have actually increased the poll. You have done more than any other division in the country. There has not been any bye election like this the whole of this Parlia- ment. No one can possibly—throughout the length and breadth of the country- claim that the forces of reaction have any- thing to congratulate themselves upon here. We have ahvay been solid for pro gress. We have beaten records each tim we fought in East Denbighshire, and w have beaten the record again this time. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this splendid testimony to the cause ol Liberalism, this splendid message to the Welsh leader, and I can assure you that your confidence will nerve me on to fight in Parliament for the things I fought for here. I particularly want to say this we have had a straight hard fight here, we have apologised for none of our Literal principles, and I can only recommend to other constituencies in the county to keep their courage as high as we have kept here. We fought the whole fight as though we meant to win. If the Liberal party will always fight with a brave heart withdrawing nothing of their principles, I believe that not only at this election, but throughout the country, Liberalism will have nothing to fear. The message from Wales to the Government is this-do not be afraid of Liberal principles go on and let us have this year a really demo- cratic budget; let us have more Liberal principles not less do not be afraid, you have done much, Wales will be behind you however far you go. And our message to them is to go on forward that's the motto of the Welsh party, that's the mot- to of the Welsh people. (Loud cheers.)

Mr. Hemmerde Commences his new Duties. At the commencement of the Liverpool City Sessions on Monday, at St. George's Hall, Mr. E. G.

Dual School for Ruabon.
Dual School for Ruabon. A special meeting of the Denbighshire Education Committee was held at Chester on Saturday. The Intermediate Education Committee reported that they had met that morning and recommended that a strong represen- tation be made to the Board of Education that a dual school at Ruabon, as provided for under the revised scheme so long delayed, was now urgent and that along with the erection of a laboratory the building should be so enlarged as to make provision for increased accommodation to 160 scholars. The Committee also recom- mended that a communication be sent to the Board of Education urging that no time should be lost in dealing with the revised scheme for the county schools of Denbighshire. Mr. J. E. Powell, in moving the adop- tion of the report, said the Board of Education had been pressing the Ruabon Governors for some time past to provide increased accommodation at the school. Under the new scheme provision was made for the girls as well as boys, and instead of accommodating eighty scholars, as at present, they proposed to provide accommodation for a hundred and sixty scholars. There were at present a con- I siderable number of girls in Ruabon parish who could not afford to go to Llangollen or Wrexham, and the Com- mittee felt their duty, from an economical and educational point of view, to provide the necessary accommodation at Ruabon at the earliest dnte possible. Referring to the second part of the report, Mr. Powell said the Committee felt that no time should be lost because education generally was suffering throughout the county because the new scheme was not in oper- ation. Concluding, Mt. Powell men- tioned that Ruabon itself was responsible for the fact that no girls' school had been provided in Ruabon, but they had now become alive to their interests.—Mr. Simon Jones seconded the motion.
IN RUABON.
IN RUABON. THREE YEARS AGO AND TO-DAY. A Ruabon woman, whose personal ex. perience of three years ago was reported in the local press, now has something or great interest to add. It is the experience of Mrs M. Edwards, of 6, Henry-street, Brynfield, Ruabon, who, when first speaking of her case, said I think Doan's backache kidney pills are splendid, and I can strongly recommend them. 44 For years I suffered with pains in the back and across the loins, also from rheu- matism. and sciatica. The sciatica was very severe, and at times almost brought me to the ground. It kept me from sleeping at nights, and I had a dull, heavy feeling in the mornings. I was troubled, too, with headaches, and got very giddy. There were urinary disorders as well. I heard a lot about Doan's backache kidney pills, so I sent for some to try. I am glad to tell you that they have made my back better, and remedied the urinary trouble Thanks to Doan's pills, my health is wonderfully improved in eveiy way. (Signed) Margaret Edwards." Over j years later, Mrs Edwards, en- dorsing the above statement, added Doan's backache kidney pills did me a world of good nearly four years ago, and I have kept well ever since. I can heartih recommend the medicine to anyone suffer- ing from kidney complaint." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and nine pence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-McClellan Co., 8. Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mrs Edwards had.
The Children's Charter.I -
The Children's Charter. FORBIDDEN FROM NOW. On April ist the New Children's Act came into force. Very few people know anything about it, but it contains a large number of novel regulations for the safeguarding of young children.

Bethlehem Choir at Johnstown. On Monday week in the Council Schools, Johnstown, a grand musical treat was given by the Bethlehem Juvenile Choir, assisted by several weli-known artistes of the district, and by the skilled accompaniment of Mr. E. Emlyn Davies, A.R.C.O. The chair was taken at 7 o'clock by Mr LI. Kenrick, Wynne Hall. In his address Mr. Kenrick stated that for over two centuries his family had been closely connected with the Congre- gationalists, and it was a very pleasing duty to him to act in such a way as to assist the cause. The solos, duetts, and trio were all rendered in a manner most creditable to the artistes. The instrumentalists, Messrs J. T. Davies and J. Williams, gave their respective renderings with fine taste and expression. The choir sang its respective choruses with its usual sweet tone and delicate taste, whilst Mr E. Emlyn Davies, A.R.C.O accompanied in his usual pleasing manner. Towards the close of the meeting a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman by the Rev. A Thomas, and seconded by Mr R D Evans, Vice- President of the Guild. The following was the evening's musical programme Part I.

FINAL-TIE ST. MARTINS CUP
FINAL-TIE ST. MARTINS CUP RHOS v. COEDPOETH MR HEMMERDE M. P., KICKS OFF. Great interest was taken in this match which was decided at Rhostyllen on Sat. urday last, before about 1,200 spectators, The teams have before met in a semi-finat, tie, Rhos proving victorious by two goats to none. Coedpoeth won the toss, and■* kicked down the hill. Mr Hemmerde, K.C., M.P., kicked off for Rhos with a long shot, the ball dropping within th £ six yards radius. Rhos immediately be- came dangerous, and the Coedpoeth de- fence had a hot time keeping the Re#' boys out. Soon after R Davies got away and after skilfully beating Eaborn direct- ed the leather towards the United's goaft it beat Mason, who had not the slightest chance to save. A few minutes later he was again called to ward off a dangerous shot from the toe of burly Bob and credit is due to Mason, for his brilliant go,-ii- keeping. A spell of mid-field play after that warm attack took place in which the Rhos half-backs displayed their tackling powers, Davies on the left, playing his usual cool, collective, and unselfish game feeding the forwards, and keeping the" now aggressing invaders in their own" territory. Potts clashed with E Moss on more occasions than one, and the only wonder is, that both left the field sound. Coedpoeth had their opportunities, and excellent ones too, on one occassion one of them passed the defence, and was only about six yards away from the goal, anix- only Foulkes to beat, but to the great disappointment of the Coedpoeth players*- and supporters he shot wide, the chance of the game was lost. Reversing the play Williams with one of his brilliant dashes- got through the backs and with (Nipper) at his side made for the goal at breakneck speed, he also had a grand chance of in- creasing the lead, but he shot over the- bar. Hughes and Jones up to this time- had played a sterling game, especially the fine headwork of Hughes, which foiled the dangerous rushes of the United. The interval arrived with the Rangers leading^ by one goal to none. After changing ends and the Rhos hav- ing the slope in their favour soon begarr to invade the ground of the United and Mason had to save three times in quick succession from Williams, Davies and,. Jones, they tried hard to increase the nar- row lead and although the ball for the first twenty minutes was hovering neaf the Coedpoeth goal they could not direct it homeward. It would have been through several times but for the fine heading ot the tall back Halliwell. After a deal of hot and hard pressing, E W Jones, who was by far the best forward on the Rhos side received a pass from the right, and with a somewhat tricky shot netted the second goal. Time was going and the Coedpoeth men now strained every nerve* to get through the Rhos backs, Goodwic put in a ground shot, which Foulkes- safely picked up, but before he had time to clear the United forwards rushed up to the goalmouth, and before Foulkes had: time to collect his wits, and realise bit- position Jones kicked the leather out of his hands into the goal. There was now onlyfifteen minutes to play and the teams- had a glance of the hard played for cup" being carried around the field by Police-" constable Shone, trimmed with the colour of both teams, this seemed to inspire the- both teams and the clarion voice of George (Marri) gave the Rhos boys the: signal for them to 41 mark well their man the dashes of their opponents now became- dangerous and fearless, with only fivf minutes to go a dangerous rush was forced5- on the right, Bob Davies clearing at the- expense of what proved to be a ddngeroue" corner, this seemed to be their last hopef every available man was placed in thff goalmouth. It was placed beautifullyr- it sailed quite glose to the bar, Fculkesr with a herculaen spring fiisted out, Sam Jones having possession of it and raced* down the field, a few throw in's followetJ" and when time was called a loud cheer" greeted the little boys in Red for theiiT fine performance. RHOS 2 GOALS COEDPOETH 1 GOAL. PRESENTATION OF THE CUP. In handing over the cup to Tommy" Hughes, Captain of the Rhos Rangers,- The President of the St Martin's Charity Association, said the winners of the Cup" had, by their plucky play and fine football,, fully deserved the cup. (Ceeers.) Mr Bob Williams (Centre-forward) said! on behalf of the Rangers it gave him* great pleasure to receive into possession* such a beautiful cup It had been a hard1, fight, but he believed the best team had won. (Cheers.)
