LOCAL ELECTION RESULTS. OFFTCT A.T, UBFFAR. CA.NTMO AT^S \1 ALL RILVJINCF l'il LiL. p tDh: place a :Vi;.u;u.y inst lor the election of District Councillors for Rhos, Pant, and Ponkey wards and for the election of Parish Councillors for Pant ward. The booths were open frrrn 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in each ward. RHOS WARD. The election in Rhos ward attracted considerable interest. The candidates, Mr Samuel Roberts, and Dr D. J. Wil- liams were both new men, Mr Roberts be- ing the nominee of the miners, and Dr D. J. Williams being an independent con- testant. The workers were early astir, and a large number had registered their t, Z" vote by the dinner-hour. Mr J. Trevor Jones was the presiding officer at the poll. The result wes declared a little before nine-o'clock on Monday evening as fol- lows Mr Samuel Roberts 323 Dr D. J. Williams i&7 Mr Roberts' majority 156 I Mr Roberts is to be congratulated upon I Z! Mr Roberts is to be congratulated upon the victory he has achieved, and upon the handsome majority of 156 out of a total of 490 votes. Mr Roberts, we believe, will make a servicable member of the District Council. He has had much ex- perience of Council and Committee work, having been a member of the Parish Council for many years, and a prominent member of the local miners' committee. He has always taken a deep interest in local affairs, and it is largely due to his insistence that the District Council took over a large number of old Rhos streets. We are sure Mr Roberts will keep a steady eye upon the interests of Rhos ratepayers at Wrexham, and that he will do all in his power to press forward the claims of Rhos. PANT WARD, The contest in Pant was felt to be a very keen one. One the one hand there was the chosen of the Liberal Association, Mr J. Ty silio Jones, and on the other, the old member, Mr M. Kyffin. The ward includes a large number of voters from Johnstown, and extends into Rhos as far as Brook-street. The voting was rather slow in the morning, but improved towards evening. Both candidates were hopeful of success, and busied themselves to improve their chances as much as pos- sible. The presiding officer was Mr Elias Z-1 Jones. The result of the poll was declared as loliows Mr J. Tysilio jones 218 Mr Morris Kyffin 178 1 40 The news of Mi' { Tysiiio Jones' victory toy the substnm'ni ma gin of 40 votes soon spread through tlis neighbourhood, iitid to mOtny it cune -ts a surprise. It was thought the c aices of Mr Kylfin were distincdy althou-h con- fidence in him ha J been a ¡¡We shaken ov- er the recent chaplain question at Wrex- ham. Mr Kyffin, although he has been defeated, deserves the thanks of the elec- tors for the services he his rendered in the past. If he h is not alwnys voted as the majority of the eletors would have him, he has at le4-t been an able and forceful member, and an ever willing list- ener to the needs of the poor on the Board of Guardiin*. Mr J. Tysilio jones, the new member should make a most useful representative. He is a practical man of business, and possesses knowledge that should stand iiim in good stead on the District Coun- cil. A man of shrewdness and determina- tion is always an asset on a Board or Council, and in Mr Jones, Paac ward has a capable member. In the past he has been rather quiet in public affairs, but he explains that it was owing to the exigen- cies of business rather than the absence of interest, that prevented him taking a hand in local government. A large rate- payer himself, we may hopefully expect Mr Jones to keep a wary eye on the ex- penditure. PONKEY WARD. There were three candidates for two seats in Ponkey. the new candidate being Mr Joseph Griffiths, Chapel-street. The two other candidates were Mr David Davies and Mr Watkin Jones, both of whom were old members of the Council. Mr Joseph Griffiths and Mr David Davies -were nominated by the Rhos Liberal As- sociation, and Mr Watkin Jones upon consideration, decided to endeavour to re- tain his seat. Mr David Davies was oti- so the miners' candidate. The three candidates had been busy during the week pressing their respective claims upon the electors From the first the electors felt that the seat of Mr David Davies was quite safe. and that the fight would be waged around the seats of the other two candidates. Mr Watkin Jones' claim was old and tried service faithful attendance ripe experience and a knowledge of District Conncil matters. As a counter claim, Mr Griffiths sought the support of the electors on the plea of youth, energy, enthusiasm. Backing his, claim with action, Mr Griffiths worked like a Trojan, and superintended a most thorough canvas. t- '1 the two presiding officers being Mr K. i'. "'1' J. Fid0-.0" Souyp.fe, Thf result "was declared as follows :— Mr Joseph Griffiths 428 Mr David Davies 1.. 1. 373 Mr Watkin Jcncs 335 Thus Mr Griffiths scored a signal suc- cess, with a majority of 55 over the sec- ond. and of 93 over the third candidate. Mr David Davies' majority over the los- ing" candidate was 38. Whilst congratulating the two success- ful candidates, we must not forget to acknowledge the long and valuable ser- vices Mr Watkin Jones has rendered on the District Council and Board of Guard- ians. He has attended faithfully and to the best of his ability he has looked after the interests of the electors. The suc- cessful candidates, we hope, will not allow the refrigerating atmosphere of the Dis- trict Council to damp their ardour or cool their enthusiasm. Many matters of vital importance will come before their atten- tion during the next three years, and we look to them to voice our interests, and to urge our claims. PARISH COUNCIL ELECTION. PANT WARD. The election of Parish Councillors for Pant ward took place on Monday. There were five candidates for four seats. The result was as follows Mr C. Morgan 240 Mr Ted J ius 211 Mr Jos Charles 177 Mr Jos Price 143 Mr Richard Evans 114 From the result it will be seen that the candidate who demanded a poll at the ward meeting, has been defeated. We are pleased to notice that the veteran from Johnstown has headed the poll. Mr Morgan has been a member of the Coun- cil from the first, and holds the record I for faithful attendance. t
'OPENING OF THE YOUNG LIBERAL…
'OPENING OF THE YOUNG LIB- ERAL LEAGUE CLUB-ROOM On Monday evening the new club rooms of the Young Liberal League were 9 C3. formally opened. The club consists of two large rooms—one being a billiard room, and the other a debate or lecture room. Both rooms are brilliantly lighted and are cheerful and comfortable. There is also a snug smoking corner, as well as chess and draught tables, and a large reading table, where newspapers and magazines are placed at the disposal of the club members. It is also the inten- tion of the club to gradually build up a substantial library, and for this purpose a number of volumes have already been promised by patrons of the club. It is needless to add that gifts of literature, &c., especially literature that will educate the rising generation in the Radical faith will be welcomed and gratefully acknowl- edged. We hope that many will follow Dr Davies' splendid example. The opening ceremony was performed by Dr J. C. Davies, Plas-yn-Rhos, who is always to the fore in movements that make for the mental as well as the phys- ical improvement of the locality. Mr Joseph Rogers presided over a large attendance in the lecture room, and in his remarks from the chair, said he was glad to see the fruition of the Young League's plans. It was quite true that H where there's a will there's a way, and the League, he was glad to say, had suc- cessfully found out the way-as witness the handsome rooms opened that evening. (Cheers). The last election had stirred Liberals up a good deal, and young Lib- erals, not only in Rhos, but in many places, had formed themselves into Soci- eties and Leagues. He looked forward to a bright future for the new club. With respect to the billiard tables, he hoped the games would be carried on in a proper manner, and that the spirit of strife and competition would be kept out of the play as much as possible-that in fact they would be what they intended to be-a re- creative rather than an absorbing pursuit. The League also had outside work to do. It would be, not a rival, but a help to the old Liberal Association. It meant to form itself into a Registration Committee, to do all it could to see that every young Liberal elector was placed on the register. (Hear, hear). In conclusion he desired to congratulate the Secrataries on the thor- oughness of their work. The officials bad done a good deal of spade work in connection with the movement, and it was largely due to their efforts that they were able to open the rooms that evening. Mr E. S. Price gave a summary of the Club's position. He said the success ot the Club depended upon the co-operation and help of every individual member. The billiard room was introduced in order to provide funds, and was in reality but one of the secondary interests of the League. Next season they hoped to ar- range a programme of debates, and to announce a number of addresses by prom- inent Welshmen. Dr J. C. Davies, who was enthusiastic- ally received, said he was glad to see the Young League movement had turned out Z* such a success. In the past they had of- j ten dreamed of such a club and they had spoken on many platforms o" the great :0 t-¡ ;2 picasutt oi upcuiii^ mill iugiii.. i .'icy uud a threat rrraoy ch/?pe!s and public houses in the neighO;,rhood, but thev had no, place where the young men criui- congre- gate for recreation and social pursuits. In the new club the young man of politic- al tendencies had a pohucai home to go to. In the present state of the political world, they should try and teach the fu- ture citizens of Rhos, the true principles of Radicalism. And how better could they do this than by providing an at- tractive meeting place ? (Cheers). He was very pleased to hear they intended forming a library in connection with the club. It gave him very great pleasure to offer a complete set of Dickens, as well as some volumes of Mrs Henry Wood, Charlotte Bronte, and an encyclopedia. (Cheers). No one, he hoped in these en- lightened days, objected to reading good novels. They heard a great deal about Socialism these days, and for himself he must confess he saw a great deal in it. To thoroughly grip this subject, the young members would do well to study Robert Owen, and the works of Adam Smith, and John Stewart Mill. There was one danger he would like to point out to the club members. In the past, many admirable movements had started full of life and vitality, and had fizzed out like pop. It was a Rhos failing to com- mence a thing violently, and to drop it af- ter a few weeks. He hoped, however, this would not be the fate of the new club. They in Rhos should develope a little m re of the Saxon quality of pertin- acity, and the German steadfastness of purpose. In conclusion, Dr Davies said he hoped the League rooms would be a focus of political life for many years to come. (cheers;. The Rev W. B. Jones, Penycae, deliv- ered a rousing speech in Welsh. He complimented the League upon their handsome rooms, which filled a large gap in the lives of the young people. Long may the club live, to educate the rising generation in the great principles of Lib- eralism. Refering to the representation of Wales by Englishmen, the Rev gen- tleman said that after all, he did not think an Englishman could adequately represent Wales. It was not of course, a matter of ability or talent-it was a question of blood and temperament. To represent Wales properly the ideal was a Welsh nonconformist. Touching upon the future of the League, the speaker said he hoped the Young League would act as a sort of Vigilant Committee, and that they would make it their duty to in- vestigate the actions of the local members of the different Councils, (Cheers). Short addresses were given by Mr Jos I' Griffiths, and Mr Samuel Roberts, the I newly-elected members of the District Council. I Votes of thanks were proposed by Mr M. C. Evans, and Mr T. O. Griffiths, seconded by Mr W. R. Hughes, and Mr J.Johnson. The club has been fortunate enough to secure the services of Mr Jos Mile as care- taker. Mr Mile is an admirable choice.
--RHOS.
RHOS. SPECIAL COuRT-On Saturday, before Mr R. R. Jones. Thos Bailey, Ponkey, was brought up in custody charged with lying out. Acting-Sergt Harris, Rhos, stated that he found defendant in an out- building in Church-street, Rhos, and in consequence of complaints took him into custody.—Bailey was sentenced to seven days hard labour. PRESENTATION.—The Prudential agents of Rhos section, met at the Maelor Res- taurant on Thursday evening, for the purpose of presenting to their assistant, Mr R. A. Evans. a handsome dinner ser- vice, on the occasion of his marriage. Mr Evans has only been attached to Rhos section for some sixteen months, and during that time his many sterling quali- ties have won for him a high place in the esteem and affection of his staff, and of the whole of Wrexham district. Mr W, Hughes, Pentredwr, proposed very heart- ily the prosperity and happiness of the newly married couple. Mr T. Phillips, Furnace Bank, seconded, wishing the united ones long life and much happi- ness. The most interesting event of the evening was the presenting of the dinner service to Mr and Mrs Evans on behalf of the agents, by Mr Edwin Hawkins, Church-street, who in an interesting speech, wished the newly-wedded every future happiness. Mr E. Wilson, the district superintendent was also present and occupied the chair. He referred to Mr Evans's career in the past, and antici- pated for him a still more promising fu- ture, now that he had the help and wis- dom of his new companion. During the evening songs were rendered by Mr R. I. Jones, Church-street, and Mr E. Ches- worth, Clarke-street. An excellent tea was provided by Misq Jones, to which all present did ample justice. A very enjoy- able evening came to a close with the us- ual votes of thanks.

RHOS RANGERS | r- ,I- Cup took place on Wrexham Racecourse j on SaSordav --f >.h Toaiv,u. ? full strength, and were accompanied by a stong muster of supporters. The Rangers won the toss and chose to play with the sua behind their backs. Boll; teams made spirited attacks in the hrst ten minutes, Oswestry were by far the most superior taam, being heavier, taller, and more accustomed to playing on a full pitch ground. Rhos had the best of the opening exchanges and they made hard raids on the Oswestry goal. but the de- fence was safe and played a sterling game. After twenty minutes play Jones headed through for Oswestry. Straight from the centre Yarnall added a second. After this downfall the Rangers were disheartened and between now and the interval Rhos seemed a disordered side. The second half saw the Rangers playing with much more vigour. Matthews who had along played a sterling game and from his pass Davies had hard lines in not scoring. The headwork of the Salop- ians was a featur in the game and was the means of stopping most of the raids made by the Rangers. Hughes notched the third goal with a low shot which gave Foulkes no chance. The Rangers's left I wing were not playing their usually good game and utterly failed to dodge the defence. Yarnell dribbled through on his own and scored the fourth goal. The I Rangers severly pressed them but were easily kept at bay by the backs. Owing to the small stature of the junior forwards they were severely handieaped in their headwork. Oswestry ran out easy victors by four goals to none. LEAGUE CHALLENGE CUP. SEMI. FINAL TIE. RHOS RANGERS v ESCLUSHAM The above teams met at Johnstown on Monday afternoon to replay the above cup semi-final. About six hundred spectators lioed the ropes when the game commenced Rhos kicked up the first half and soon started to trouble the Esclusham defence and missed several good chances. The Stars also visited the Rhos citadel. The ball was continually out owing to the egg- shaped like ball. Bob Williams opened the scoring for the Rangers from close range after a smart combined run by the forwards. Esclusham made hard tries to equalise and tested Foulkes with several hot shots but found him safe. The Rhos half-backs were in fine form especialy E D Roberts, he completely smashed the I left wing. A combined attack by the I Rangers gave Albert Evans an opening I which was not bungled, he easily placed I through the empty goal, Griffiths having ran out to clear. The Stars were not dis- I heartened by this reverse but played hard and vigorously. A run on the left was finely slung into the goal mouth and con- verted. A penalty soon alter was award- fed them this also was safely negotiated thus placing both teams on an equal foot- ing. The second half was hotly contest- ed and both teams struggled hard for the lead but neither side seemed to get very dangerous. The last ten minutes Rhos I forced matters and several, fruitless corners were awarded them. When the finish was signalled both teams had two goals each to their account.
-0 POSITIVE CHIRK WITNESS.
-0 POSITIVE CHIRK WITNESS. A Chirk witness, who gave her evidence years ago, now endorses it in a most positive way, adding immeasurably to its value. When first relating the details of her experience, Mrs A Negus, who lives at 3, Chirk-green, Chirk, near Ruabon said :— "For many years I suffered very much with sharp pains across the lower part of my back and between the shoulders. I used to be so bad when bending down to do anything that I could hardly get up again. I suffered dreadfully with sciatica in my right leg and hip, also from rheu- matism. My right leg used to swell, and also my ankles. I got very little sleep at nights, with the result that I was drowsy and tired in the mornings. I suffered too with urinary troubles. I I tried many things, but never got any better until I began with Doan's back- ache kidney pills. I have now taken three boxes of these, and feel wonderfully im- proved in every way. Doan's pills have correctea tne urinary trouble, and eased my back a great deal; in fact they have done me more good than anything else I ever used. I feel ever so much brighter and bet- ter since I started to take Doan's pills. ter since I started to take Doan's pills. You are at liberty to publish the facts of my case, for the benefit of others. (Signed) Anpie Negus. Over three years after, Mrs Negus said. I have the greatest confidence in Doan's backache kidney pills. They invariably give me relief whenever I find symptoms of the old complaint." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and nine pence per box, or six be xes for thirteen shillings and ninepence Ot 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 Negus had.

Alluding to his defeat at the poll the previous Monday, Mr Jones said This is probably the last time I shall be amongst you, as he had been put on one side for a better repres- entative. Great wonders are to be perform- ed, and I hope you will keep your eyes open to watch them. (Laughter). The people will only have to pay half the rates they do at present, and on that ground it is as well that I should leave you at the earliest possible moment, (Laughter). I) have been a member for the past twelve- years, and in my own simple way I have done my very best to serve the best in- terests of the Council. I only hope the old members will be as comfortable with the new ones as I have aiways been with you. Mr Ellis Davies seconded. Mr Joseph Edwards, in supporting-i said he should like to have a farewell word (laughter.) He would probably not trou- ble them again. The Rev E K Jones also joined in the vote of thanks and said farewell. (Laugh- ter and appause). The resolution having been carried the Chairman responded RHOS ROADS QUESTION. The Clerk said he had no reply to the Local Goverment Board letter re Rhosr roads, which he sent to the Rhos Parish: Council. The roads at Rhos were in a-1 deplorable condition and something ought to be done either by local effort or by the Council. The Parish Council had asked the District Council to take over private' roads, but they could noc do that until they were put in order by the owners. Mr Cromar said that it was one of the' dark spots within their area. The road" were in a disgiaceful and deplorable con- dition, and no one could describe them otherwise. In fact, it was difficult to find words bad enough to describe some por- tions of them. He moved that the Com- mittee be re appointed to work on the lines laid down by the Clerk and get mat- ters improved. He thought that if the owners would contribute something the the roads could be put in order Mr Watkin Jones seconded. Mr John Roberts said it should be' made clear that the Council had no powd- er to bear the whole of the cost. It was for the Rhos people themselves to put their own house in order. The motion was carried.
