W .¡,g to defective hearing he had not sat tor the ii,t lew years. It was his proud distinction to ho tne hist working-man in Wales to be made a magistrate ,b. Nl i,. tli when he was Homo bec.eiary. The late Mr. vVihianib, w .0 was born in the parish: of Abergwih, had i-i.i^ oiiunity for schooiinK before commencing ,.u. i" and the educational equipment ho possessco naa rveen obtained by; assiduous splf-st.udy.. bv.uLua¡ly he was engaged ai the Glamorganstnre iionworks, where he worked as a puddler. In 1886 lie returned to Clarniarthoii, i where lie worked at tlie old tinworks up to l^uu, when he retired. The deceased was a devoted Sun- day school teacher at Pc nik-i liaptist Chapel for no less than 46 years.and as a mark of the high esteem in which lie was held tne scholars, past and present, who had twen under his, ut.tene. had a happy re- union in 1906, and presented their old teacher with a handsome illtimii> t «- He was an entlr.t siastic ix>litician of the old Gladstonian type, and was an «ble Welsh speaker. His great object in life was to acquire and diffuse knowledge. He was the fouudt r of a Bible class and Jibraiy, and the members of the Young Men's Improvement Society highly valued his political and i reiigious lectures, as ho was an authority on Scrip- t-ural lore. (July a few months ago lie was deprived by death of his only other living c .taug.itei-I who had lived with him and carefully tended him for so many years, and since then be had been under the de- vo.ed al:J loving caie of his daughter and son-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. David Evans, North Parade, with whom, in this their second bereavement, the greatest sympathy i felt. The func-ral, which was public ior men, was lately attended by all the well-known inhabitants of the town, h interment being made at ,he Cemetery. The chief mourners were Mr. and Mrs. u.

PRESENTATION TO LADY TIVERTON CONSERVATIVE RECEPTION AT CAR- MARTHEN. It having been recently decided to form a Ladies' ConsorvaJive and Unionist League in the town. a reception and conversazione was held at the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel sale-room (by kind permission of Mr. D. K Williams) on Tuesday evening last, when Mr. Walter -Spurred, J.P.. i>resided. The spacious room, which had been beautifully decorated, was fillito overflowing with ladies and gentlemen, and tho greatest enthusiasm and spirit, of camaraderie prevailed. Some little time, age a subscription list was opened with a. view to making Lady Tiverton (wife of Lord Tiverton, the Conservative oandidate at the Jast election) a. presentation, as a mark of the esteem and affection in which she was held by the ladies of the Borough, and advantage was taken of the reception to make tho presentation at the sarno time. Lady Tiverton was, unfortunately, un- avoidably prevented from attending. Out Viscount Tiverton was present, and his entry into the room was-greeted -with vociferous and sustained applause. The testimonial took the form of a silver coracle on a silver stand, and the beauty and value of the piece of plate spoke volumes for the untiring efforts ùrthn joint. secretaries—Miss Gladys Lloyd and Mr. F. (j. Humphreys. Tlie presentation was charmingly made to Lord Tiverton by the Mayoress (Mrs. Walter Lloyd). Tiverton, in returning thanks to the sub- scribers, said that it was said that awas a help- m&te to her husband; lie- had never felt the need of a helpmate so much as that evening- (laughter). Ho could not possibly express his feelings, or those of Lady Tiverton, because they were both deeply touched, and Lady Tiverton was extremely sorry that she could not be there that evening, and had asked him to carry to them her regrets at. her ab- eenco and her appNociation of their great kindness. Apart, from the groat beauty of the silver, it would be greatly prized and would go down as a. heirloom ia his family, and his son would bo ablo to point it to his son (laughter 1 as a. token that was given to his mother to show' that, she had gained the affection (5f the Carmarthen ladies. He did not thiuk that any of those who had Worked hard to- gether ■ would ever forgiet each other, and he was quite certain, that they would never forget Lady I Tiverton (applause), and. she would never forget them (renewed applause). Her stay had been brief j in Carmarthen, but. he hoped she would come down many more times. With regard to tho new Associa- tion, it was simply splendid, and was going to do [ an enormous amount of good work. Ho did not; want to tread on dangerous ground, but ho believed I thai a. great, amount, of indirect good came from thét;t; societies, and if ladies only realized the number of votes they could get from a society like that, per- hapa they would not be so anxious for votes them- Beiveft (applause), because they would IS* able to get four or fivei time"; us many votes that way as the law would give them. They wero all working splen- didly, "thundering- well" together, but it might OWN) into (ho minds of scine iK>ople as to what was tho tiw- of it, because such good work was not being uono in other parts of the constituency, but that was not so. The *j*ter Borough was working- quite as well, with the help of the people who had rallied* arid soon lioptd t4) get nearly as good nn organisation, and lie could not give them better praise than that. Next time, they would get m cl, warmth from Llanelly. He understood that Mr, Llewelyn Williams, their member—— "A Voice—Our in ember V" (laughter). Lord Tiverton **Tha.t is the whole point; he says ho is I don't agree with him at all (laughter). Con- tinuing, I/Ord Tiverton said that he expected they would have. Mr. Williams worrying down there with his various associations in Carmarthen, but. they would respond. Dealing with the political situation. Viscount Tiverton said that they had all along agrMwi that tho policy ojj the present Government was. discreditable, and he was inclined to think that it was boi1; discredited. People were beginning to see that party polities which meant trapping and "jockeying" tho other side on an election question was not right. They were beginning to see that the poor man «j« being taxed for what was poj*t- lariy called '"beer nnd baccy." while the rich man was not allowed To nay income tax however much ho wanted to do so (laughter), but they would bor- row money. That, was the policy, and the more the fact w is ru-bbod in tho better. Again, what had the. present- Government done for They had recognised individual merit, "^specially amongst, those who had agitated rather strongly that something should be done for Wales. As far as 110 could mak,) out any Welshman who agitated that, something should done had his merit recognised, and very ,r;giitly so, but that was no good for Wales, and nothing had been done for tho Principality. A I great mazy promises had been- made, but nothing more than, that was done. He could only again thank them on In-half of his wife for the great honour they had done li-i,, and the very kindly spirit, they had shown her. If she had been there hnrseit she would have said it because t'ht, felt. it (applause^. During evening refreshments were tastefully served b the ladies in the billiard room, arul full justice was done to tho good things provided. In. fcro course of the evening Mr. T. W. Barker in q, speech which dealt mainly with the question of Woman'* Suffrage, moved a hearty voter of thanks to tne ladies and all those who had helped in petting up subsc riptions for the presentation, and ;in tnakmg the reception a success. Lord Tiverton seconded, and tlie motion was car- ried with acclamation. In Vhe course of tlie proceedings tho following in- teresting and entertaining programme of music, etc., »« .goi* through, with Mr. T. S. Puddicombe at the pij-fio ■ -Son. Mr. Arthur Arthur; song.

Williams for kindly giving the use of the rooms for the evening. Tiie Mayor (.Uderman Walter Lloyd) proposed the best thanks to the Chairman for presiding. In doing so the Mayor said that the inauguration of the new League augured well for the success of tho Con- servative cause in the future, and had inspired a new spirit into the supporters. If the men of the town nad unfortunately been backward in the past, they had the ladies to fall back upon (laughter). Mr. Collier seconded the motion, which was cordi-' ally earned. The proceedings terminated with the singing of the National Anthem.

To the Editor of THE JoCKXAL. Sir,—As one who has left the dear old town for over thirty years, and who seldom miss receiving his weekly JOLnAL, I cannot refrain from writing to congratulate you and those interested with you upon th excellent centenary copy. Mr. Hubert Morgan Griffiths in his letter of congratulations says "a picture which appeals to me is" that of Brinlcy Richards. I most sincerely echo his sentiments. He also refers to Sir Lewis Morris. Now, sir, one is almost templed to say that Carmarthen has not yet realised the honour which her two sons has conferred upon her. On more than one occasion when sending you some notes of our St. David's iJay banquet i have drawn attention to the fact that notwithstnding the lapse of time since his death nothing has been done to commemorate tho author of "God Bless the Prince of Wales" in his native town. For nearly fifty 'carl-> "God bless the Prince of Wales" has ranked with "God Save the King" as a national song in every part of the British Empire. North Wales has done her part already by erecting a memorial to Ceiriog Hughes, who wrote the words. Then as to Sir Lewis Morris, whose wonderful epic < poem, "The Epic of Hades." will always live. That scholarly divine (Dr. Ellicott), late Bishop of Glou- cester, derived from it a deep pleasure and refresh- ment such as he never thought, modern poetry could give. It, is well known how strong his love was for the beautiful old Valeof Towy. What two men may I zisk did more to uplift the Eisteddfod from the low level to which it. had sunk to its present high pedestal. Here is a golden opportunity to form co a national committee at Carmarthen Eisteddfod for The purpose of making a strong appeal to all Welsh- men irrespective of creed or party for funds ot erect it fitting memorial- to two noble patriots. I shall only lve too pleased to appeal to my brother CYIlls. iu this part of the country. Apropos of-tlie last Eisteddfod, I have a vivid recollection of it as a boy. It rained practically all the week, and planks were placed from the field entranoe to the pavilion. I well remember one wet evening old Captain Richards (port master), nick-named ''Tiger," stopping off the plank up to hi.> ankles in mud. and his roar of disgust. j • Wishing the coming Eisteddfod every success, and that tho weather will be the reverse of the last.— t Yours obediently. Gloucester. ALrEKL) D\VIK.
