THE WELSH DRAGON
THE WELSH DRAGON IS IT THE NATIONAL IEMBLEM?

The seal is attached to a very important document •ol Jajooes 1.. 1608, confirming privilege,* belonging to the Lord Marcher of Kemes, originally given by King Edward 1. in 1277, confirmed by King Richard II- in 1379. confirmed by Queen Elizabeth in 1598. and confirmed by King Jam 1.. in 1608, the latter •document being signed by himself, Jacob Roy." Sir Marteine Lloyd■ possosse-s tpapers with seals with a similar reverse impression (of the dragon and of -tiit, goat) of Queen Elizabeth. King James I., King Charles L. and King Charh-s II., showing that seals, with the Welsh emblems,' were used by the T>r< Tudor* and the -Catholic Stuarts.

Tiie General Assensbh .of the Welsh Calvinisti.- Methodist con- nexion :meeting at Booth- rhis week hud rather all impleaHaiit experience when the Be* Dr. McMordie, M.A., an ox-Moderator of the Irish Assembly, spoke in plain, unmistakable language, and warned Them a- to what they might expect in the near future as a result of pandering to political fanatics. The Moderator,-(Rev. Rees Evans, Llawwityd Wells) how- over essayed to teach Dr. McMordie. but we cer- tainly think that the doctor knows more about Irish •blood antii Irish history than a man who lives and iabo«r-» amid peaceful surroundings among the hills of Wales. A nation aroused by the oall of patriotism 'will not be soothed by texts and cant. but will either vanquish the usurper or stain the fair lands of the home fee loves so well. After convving the greetings of the Irish Pres- ibyterian Cluireb, Dr. McMordie went on to speak of the difficult position of the Presbyterian Church. Wales, as well as Ireland, he aaid, had been passing through a. time of great political crisis, but it was the religious aspect of the agitation in Ireland which caused them such a deep anxiety. They felt that they were Ticti-ras of a vicious system of poli- tical party voting. Men were not allowed to vote aeoording to their consciences, but according to the 101 poetical leadekfc, (,"No, no") The I Presbyterians in Ireland had as a religious com- musiity been striving hard to keep the peace in the past, but it was now discovered that peace was seriously imperilled when religious liberties were in danger of being trampled under foot. (Dissent.) Never was Ireland in a greater condition of peace and prosperity than during the twenty years pre- ceding the introduction of the Home Rule Rjll. The introductioa of the Ulster question aroused bitter resentment among the assembled delegates, and the Rev. Getliwy Jones, M.A. (Liverpool), asked the Moderator whether he would not instruct the next speaker from Ireland to confine his re- marks to the work of the 'Presbyterian Church in Ireland- (Cheers.) The Moderator, welcoming the deputation, re- i ferred to the fears expressed by Dr. McCordie. It might be the will of God," he remarked. that the Irish 3'resbyterian Church ..should enter the fiery furnace, but like the Hebrew youth., in Baby- Ion. tiny jieed not apprehend danger.

A WELL-KNOWN AIRMAN MISSING…
A WELL-KNOWN AIRMAN MISSING Mil II V'.IKI. NOT FOfM' Mr. Gr.-tn\ Hamel, the well-known aviator, who Saturday made an attempt to fly across the Eng- lish Channel, has disappeared, and up to the time of goinjr to press had not been found. lie flew over to Villacoublay, where the Morane Saulnier aeroplane works are situated, on Thursday to take over a new machine with an engine of 160 h.p., which he intended to fly in tlw. Aerial Derby round London on Saturday. All that is known of :his return journey is that he left Villacoublay in this machine at 4.30 a.m. on Saturday morning. He landed at Le Ccotov at 5.22 a.m. There he was earth-bound for three hours bv a terrific #torm. So fierce was the wind that on leav- ing Le Crotoy he struggled for nearly four hours against it, and only reached Hardelot. twenty-five miles further up the coast, fit one o'clock. He was seen flying over Calais shortly after three o'clock apparently intending to cross to Dover in- n,, -tcad of following his u^ual route from Boulogne to Folkestone. The few people in Calais who watched him whirring away at nearly 100 miles an hour strained their eyes peering into the dim greyness of the mists that hung over the Channel for a further glimpse of the speck that was Hamel in his new macine. He vanished. The mists swallowed him up. and to this moment hold the secret of his whereabouts. On Wednesday afternoon a rumour was circulated that he had landed at South Shields ir a fishing boat, but enquiries were made and the report was found to be incorrect. Mr. Hamel is one of those who is prepared to sacrifice his life on the altar of progress, and all who appreciate the strides of invention -eagerly await tidings of the mitii. It will be remembered that he was announced to give a flyirur exhibition from the Carmarthen Park, but mrough some misunderstanding the event did not come off.

THE CSMSiE^CE Of TKE ARMY
THE CSMSiE^CE Of TKE ARMY I] :us an iurniy aconscience, asks "The Covenan- tor," a spÚghtly. perIOdical just issued, and. if so at what point may it legitimately awake? In other words, is tivre a limit to obed.enoe, and where doea the frontier lie between unquestioning otxxli- encc and a rightful refusal to obey orders" Thai obedience is a soldier's first duty adtnit-s of no dispute; that it is a duty from which, under no circumstances may he ever swerve ¡; the doc- trine now enunciated by latter day Radicalism. On what facts or precedents do the champions of unquestioning obedience rely? Frankly, we do not know. The leading authority for their caso is to oe found in the famous line— "i heir's not to reason why." I But hibtory teems with except.ons to this rule. On at least two occasions. Nelson refused io obey the orders of his commanding officers. It is re- corded that, when the attent.on of the Commander in-Chief was called to his disobedience at the battle of St. Vincent, he replied to ttie crnic, "When you disobey orders like that, I will forgive yc-u, too." Generals in comniand of Armies have refused to owey the orders of their Governments, as Napoleon refused to obey the barbarous instructions of the Directory, which would have turned his soldiers into butchers. And soldiers have found themselves compelled by the limitations of human nature to abandon enterprises which they had been sternly ordered to carry out. Even Tehaka's fhort way with his defeated impia was powerless toO secure execution of his orders, though it might, and did. involve executions of his indunas. •

THB DEBBY AND PRACTICAL JOKERS.—The great- eet racing event of the year—Th# Derby-was not allowed to pass locally with&ut the practical joker having his look in. The story runs to the effect that p prominent local gentleman recived a com- munication to the effect that he was the successful drawer in :1 continental sweepstake. The incident created considerable exeiteme-nt, and was implicitly believed in by i large number of townspeople. It would be worthy of note if in this, as in many other instances, the long arm of coincidence mani- fested itself and the gentleman after all become the proud possessor of thie by no means inconsiderable "?tweep." DKATH OF MB. RODERICK, LATE LIETTYCIYD.— We regret to announce the (ieath of Mr. Evan Roderick, Towy Cottape. Towy-terrace, Ffairfach. Llandilo, which took nl aef, early on Sunday morn- ing. after an illness of a few months' duration, in his 70th year. Deceased. during the early years of his life, was in the drapery business, and had spent a good many years in London. He re- turned from that business about the year 1880, when he came to Llettyglyd Farm. his native home, and carried on the business of a farmer for about 30 years. Deceased was a bachelor, and had a twin sister in residence with him at the farm. She, however, died some years a?o, and soon after Mr. Roderick gave up farming, and went to reside with his brother. Mr. Thomas Roderick, who is an octogenarian, at Towy Cottage, who survfves the deceased. Deceased was a Conservative in politics. He was associated with Llandilo Agricultural Society, and for many years a successful exhibitor. He wa.- also intere-ted in the Llandilo and District Cattle Mart Co., Ltd.. Ffairfach. Deceased was well-known and highly respected. His figure will be greatly missed locally. COUNCIL MART.—Messrs. W. and W. James and Son held their bi-weekly sale of fat cattle. sheep, lambs, calves, bulls, porkers and baconers at the Llandilo Council Mart on Monday. The Mart was a very full one, there being a good supply in every department. Buyers were also numerous and good business was done throughout. The following passed through the ring:—52 fat cattle. 210 sheep. 450 lambs. 135 calves, 20 bulls. 258 porkers, and 26 baconers. The prices were as follows:-Fat cattle from C16 to £ 24 10s.; sheep 35s. to 62s. 6d.; lambs- 28s. 6d. to 40s.; calves. JE2 10s. to JB6 10s. bulls from JB16 to E25 10s. porkers, JB2 to' £ 3; and baconers from E2 10s. to F,5 10s. POOR LAW RELIEF AND OLD AGE PENSIOXERS.— The half-yearly return of the Llandilo-fawr Union provides some food for reflection. One who has gone carefully through it furnishes us with the following facts which show that 41 people between the aires of 70 and 79. between 80 and 89. and one 92 years of a.ge were in receipt of out-door relief during that period. This makes 65 persons eligible for old arre pensions. Evidently from the fact that these people were in receipt of sums varying from 5s. to 9s. each per week. ample proof is afforded that the old Age Pension Acts 1908-11 are total "failures so far as the real poor and needy are concerned. CONTRIBUTION" TO THE NATIONAL LIBRARY.-Pro- test by the Rev. Thompson Jenkins. -Llanlil o Rural District Council on Saturday decided by a majority to contribute JE:50 to the building fund of the National Library. Mr. W. Roberts, Llan- fymydd, and the Rev. Thompson Jenkins opposed the motion. The latter remarked that he did not think any Churchman in the room could eon- scieatiously vote for the grant. They knew that thp library was going to be maintained by money taken away from the Church to a very great ex- I- IItU.1J.J. "CYXMANFA GANU. —The auinual "cymmanfa ganu," in connection with the local Independent Churches, was held at Capel Newydd, Llandilo. at 10.30 a.m., 2 and 6 p.m. on Monday last. In the morning the chair was occupied by Mr. John Thomas, Salens. The cantata. "Plant y Beibl," was very efficiently rendered by the youngsters. In the afternoon and evening Congregational tune. Psalms, and anthems were rehearsed. At the former Mrs. Dinah Jone- occupied the chair, and the Rev. W. Davies, on her assuming it, said he was pleased that the coinmltte had honored her by placing her in it. That was their one object. She had given her services to Congregational sing- ing for 70 years, and her voice had still the purity it had in her youth. There was one thing about her as a singer, and that was that she had never done. what so many singers did—pouted (laughter). But apart from that Mrs. Jones was faithful in all Christian services. Recently her husband and she had celebrated their jubilee wedding, and he hutx-d to them sp nd their golden wedding. Mrs. Jones, on rising, was greeted with cheers. She expressed her thanks for the honour they had conferred upon her. but she would have pre- ferred to have been with the singers. She re- 1 "i-red to the fact that amongst other leaders the had aung under was Tanymarian. She advised young people when they got married if they were singers not to go too old for singing after marry ing (cheers and laughter). In the evening the chair ¡ was occunpied by the Rev. W. Davies. the pastor. The choristers were supported by the ortrnn and an efficient string band under Mr. Frank Jones. iMiss May Williams presided at the organ in the morning, and Miss Olwen A. illiams in the after- noon and evening. The conductor was Dr. Caradog Roberts, Mus Bac. (Oxon.). who expressed him- sielf as highly gratified with the singing. In the afternoon he gave on the organ the well-known descriptive piece of a concert on ;i lake interrupted by a. thunderstorm .and for which he was loudly applauded. Mr. Abel Thomas gave a very pleasing rendering also of the well-known sacred solo, Babylon." There were crowded audiences at the afternoon and evening meetings. J

EBEX. JOKES.—The news of the death of the Rev. Eben. Jones was received with genuine sorrow at Llandovery. The rev. gentleman pad peacefully away at his residence, Dyfri, Saundersfoot. For years he was vicar of Llan- dovery, wher-, he was esteeme-d and greatly be- loved. Failing health eventually caused him to relinquish his charge, much to the regret of the parishioners. Deoeased was educated at Llan- dovery College, and obtained his M.A. degree at Oxford in 1878. In the same year he was ordained by the late Bishop of St. David's to the curacy of Lhmmattock. Breconshire. In 1881 he became senior curate of St. Peter's. Carmarthen, and two years later the late Lord Cawdor appointed him to the living of Llanfihangel-Alx-rbythick. Golden Grove. He became of Llanbadarn-fawr in 1893. and was appointed to the vicariate of Llan- dovery in 1897. In consequence of ill-health he re.MLTiied the position in 1910. Amongst his con- temporaries at Oxford were the Bishop of St. David's and St. Asaph. The Primp Minister was also there as an undergraduate at Balliol and presi- dent of the Union. During his vicariate of Llan- dovery deceased restored Llandingat Parish Church and the Llandovery National Schools at the ex- pense of £ 4,000 and not E2,000 as stated in a con- temporary. He was a brother of Mr. W. H. Jones, manager of the National Provincial Bank, Llan- dovery. who also takes a keen interest in Llandingat Church, of which plaoe he is one of the church- wardens.—The Funeral: Llandovery was in mourn- intr on Tuesday. All business premises were closed and blinds were drawn throughout the town gene- rally. and a fitting tribute was paid to the memory of one who well d -served it. The Rev. Ebenezer Jones during his all too brief ?tay at Llandovery, had endeared himself in the hearts of the people. A kind deniable, cultured and approachable gentleman, lie was the friend of everyone.

There was 71 competitors. She comes from a musical stock, her father and teacher being Mr. John Thomas, who is famous for his eonductorship in chief choral and male voice competitions. Mr. Thomas, who is a self-taught musician, is well re- membered as the conductor of the Llanell- Roval Choir, which captured honours at me Wrexham Nation'il Eisteddfod, and subsequently toured America with great success under his leadership, 1-fiss Thomas has evidently inherited her mother's voice, which has frequently del ighted large audi- ences Like her mottier, who gained great praise from the adjudicators at the first Llanelly National Eisteddfod. Miss Thomas has been very successful in musical competitions. Apart from- numerous -L-ulnea prizes at eisteddfodau. Miss Thomas has won three championship cups, and Dr. Granville Bantoek's prediction that she had a erreat futur« before her is evidently going to be fulfilled. Mr. Harry Evans.

Mr. Evans is making good progress after his recent illness, which necessita- ted the relinquishment of important English and Scottish musical festivals. For the purpose of ob- taming a complete rest, Mr. and Mrs. Evans, to- gether with their two boys, have been for the past fortnight. and are still at present, the invited guests of the Hon.
