CARMARTHEN GIRL GUIDES.
CARMARTHEN GIRL GUIDES. A concert and display in connection with the First Carmarthen Troup of Girl Guides was held at the Assembly Rooms on Thursday, December 8th, under the patronage of Sir James Drummond, Bart., C.B., Lord Lieutenant of the County, and Lieut.- General Sir James Hills-Johnes, V.C., G.C.B., Com- missioner of Boy Scouts for the County of Carmar- then. The large and fashionable attendance showed the keen interest which Carmarthen people take in the Girl Guides movement, .it. the commencement of the entertainment the Girls Guides were ushered on the platform by the martial sound of the bugle, looking very smart and efficient in their neat, ser- viceable uniforms. They opened the proceedings by singing the Girl Guides choras, ''Sons of Britain," by Selwyn Lloyd, which was the last song accepted by His late Majesty King Edward VII. The follow- ing programme was then gone through:—:—Song, "Trooper Johnny Ludlow," Rev. Aldred Williams; song, "I hear you calling me" (Marshall), Miss Phyllis Lewis; song, "Joyous Life" (Randegger), Miss May Matthews: pianoforte solo, "Soiree re Vienne" (Liszt), Mr. T. S. Puddicombe; song, "Twickenham Ferry'' (T. Marsials), Guide Gwladys Isaac; Girl Guides am'Btrtancc work: song, "Dear Heart," Mrs. Llewelyn Davies; song, "Drake's going West," Mr. Lewis Giles. Song, She wandered down the Mountain Side" (Clay), Mrs. D. J. Thomas; song (humorous), Mr. J. F. Lloyd; Girl Guides —signalling (Morse and Semaphore); song "0 No! John," Mrs. Lewis Giles; song. Rev. Aldred Wil- liams; song, Children's Home" (F. Cowes), Mrs. Idris Roberts; song "Many Years Ago," Mr Lewis Giles; song (humorous), Mr. J. F. Lioyd: Girl Guides, bridge building. Rule Britannia. "God Save the King." All the items provided were much appreciated by the audience, who testified their appreciation by lord and frequent applause. Mr. J. JT. Lloyd continuity kept the audience in roars of laughter by his scream- ingly funny impersonations. The audience was much impressed by the smartness which the Girl Guides showed in the three items they contributed. In their ambulance work they displayed a very capable knowledge of first aid, and showed how to treat and bandage broken legs, arms, heads, etc. They would evidently be worthy successors of Florence Nightingale should occasion arise. They also gave an interesting exhibition of bridge-building. This is not as a rule included in Girl Guides work, but it has been tackled by this energetic troup. They erected a miniature bridge on the stage in a very short time, and then showed their confidence in the strength of the structure by grouping themselves upon it at the close of the programme. Sir James Hills-Johnes then mounted the stage amid loud cheers, and was saluted by the Guides. Returning their salute the gallant General addressed the Guides, and in the course of his remarks said it gave him and Lady Hills-Johnes and all present very great pleasure to witness this most interesting and instruc- tive entertainment. He was an old soldier, and he had never seen ..ueli-a smart and usefully-dressed troup of Girl uuides. He congratulated them on the interest they had taken in their duties and on the very able way in which they had learnt them. Their use of ambulance and signalling were qualification, which might be useful in the ordinary service of life. as well as in active work. He then referred to the song they had sung "Sons of Britain." which showed that they were expected to help the weak and be use- ful throughout their lives. He thought that the title, "Sons of Britain," should be altered to "Daugh ters of Britain" (applause). The way in which they had worked tne ambulance and signalling showed that they were quite worthy to stand in the places and to do the duties of the "Sons cf Britain," and while these had the daughters of Britain to help them Britain would never go down in the world (cheers). When General Sir Baden Powell came down to Carmarthen he would be more than grati- fied with the First Troup of Carmarthen Girl Guides. He had seen Guides and Scouts in other towns, but was the first troup he had ever seen. It was on a very wet day, when they were all marching down the street, that he had seen them first, and it gave him very great pleasure to watch them then. After again thanking"and congratulating them, he con-, eluded amongst hearty applause. After the conclu- sion of the performance the Guides were photo- graphed by flash light on the stage, with Sir James Hills-Johnes, Lady Hills-Johnes, and the ladies of the committee. Captain Armstrong and Lieut. Wil- liams, and the Girl Guides are to be heartily con- gratulated on the progress they have made. and also a word of praise is due to Mr. E. Y. Collier, who, as secretary of the Guides Committee, superintended the stage arrangements. Mr. T. S. Puddicombe, as accompanist, and everything that could be desired, and his pianoforte solo was much appreciated. The concert proved a most enovable function, and nearly every item on the programme was encored.

-----....--CONGRATULAJIONS…
CONGRATULAJIONS fO JUDGE LLOYD MOKGAN His Honour Judge Lloyd Morgan sat for the first time since lis appointment at the Narberth County Court Oil Monday last. The Registrar (Mr. John Robertsi read i letter from ex-Judge Bishop ex- pressing gratification at th? courtesy lie had always teceived at the hands of the Registrar and practi- tioners a* that Court. The Registrar referred to the friendly relations which had existed oetween him and the former judge, and congratulated His Honour Judge Lloyd Lloyd Morgan on his appointment. Mr. W. T. Prosaer (Morgan Griffiths. Son, and Proper, of Carmarthen and Narberth), as the senior solicitor practising in rhe Court, added his con- gratulations and thml' of the solicitors practising at that Court. He said that His Honour was so well known to all of them that he felt certain that the good feeling which had always existed between the Bench and the advocates there, would continue while His Honour Judge Lloyd Morgan presided there. It was their wish that His Honour would be spared for very many years to occupy his present position, when it would be seen that the universal opinion as to the excellent appointment which the Lord Chancellor had made, was fully justified. His Honour Judge Lloyd Morgan referred to the care and attention given by ex-Judge Bishop to all cases which had come before him, and his desire and efforts on all occasions to do what was right, He thanked the Registrar and Mr. Prosser for their kind expressions, and expressed a hope that the good relations that had existed in the past would bo continued during the time he sat on the Bench.
LAUGHARNE NOTESI
LAUGHARNE NOTES I Last week I quoted "All's well that ends weli,' and it can well be applied this week, for the excite- ment here on Wednesday last was intense when it became known tnat a cockle-boat was missing with four occupants. The "Flirt," containing Maggie and William Rolands, brother and sister: Willie Jones, a nephew, and Kate Morgan, a friend, were late leav- ing St. Ishmael's, where they had been gathering cockles and their boat, drawing rather more water than the others, had to wait for tide. They crossed the Towy all right, but in the growing darkness well known marks became obscure, and the boat unfor- tunately striking a sand bank, it was immediately swamped. Thanks to the knowledge of the river they got through to the Llanstephan side, though the water was up to their shoulders, and finally reached the ferry house minus some of their clothes which they had discarded for safety. The parents in the meantime were in such a state of excitement that it is better left to the imagination than de- scribed, and I believe the joy at finding their chil- dren safe was as painful as the suspense as to then fate. Everyone was delighted at the way the affair turned, for at one time it looked like being a black Christmas for Laugharne, but happily we can congratulate ourselves all round that Providence spared us a sad blow. The election day passed off "quite quietly," and there is no special incident to record. Mr. Cremlyn polled well here, and I hope when the result ap- pears it will show that he has done well elsewhere. Ic Have you noticed what a prominent part kids and convicts have played in the Government thea- tricals Miss Megan tops the list; then comes her dad's pet shepherd, a convict off and on since 1865, and who he was going to make a martyr (but it didn't catch on with his party of Socialists), and the Yankee half-breed, not to be beaten by Carnarvon George has, his kid followed by a couple of "'tecs'" at our expense, and finally, dear Reggie McKenna plays his bantam in a medal distribution to the boys of the U.S. Navy. —<*— Next election cry—Shall Carnarvon George rule or shall forty-two millions.
- ' CARMARTHEN COUNTY COURT
CARMARTHEN COUNTY COURT The Carmarthen County Court was held at the Guildhall on Thursday before His Honour Judge Lloyd Morgan. The judgment summonses were dis- posed of by the Registrar (Mr. D. E. Stephens). CONGRATULATIONS. The Registrar expressed his heartiest congratula- tions to His Honour on his appointment as successor to Judge Bishop. There was no judge, he said, more welcome to the court, and he felt sure the dignity of the court would be safe in his keeping. Mr H. B. White, on behalf of the legal profession, expressed his most heartfelt congratulations to His Honour on his high appointment. They could all say with confidence that the former judge presided over the court with dignity and held the scales of judg- ment with an even balance. He (Mr. White) was sure the dignity of the court would still be held and the scale of judgment held as even as in the past. They wished the new Judge hapfc>ines6 and health during the time he presided over the court. They were that day inaugurating a new Registrar in Mr. D. E. Stephens. After paying a tribute to the former Registrar (Mr. T. Parkinson), Ir.. hite expressed the hope that the good relations ot the past would continue in the future. His Honour Judge Lloyd Morgan, in acknowledg- ing the sentiments expressed, stated that he lived in Carmarthen and had commenced his life as a barrister at the Carmarthen court that had finished his life as a barrister at the same court. He wished to associate himself entirely witBT what had been said with regard to his predecessor. A more upright man never took the judicial seat, and he had an extensive knowledge of law. The appointment Judge Bishop held was a very important one, and he always en- deavoured to do what was right and just in regard to matters that came before him. In his retirement all hoped that Judge Bishop would have long life and happiness. As for himself he would do his Utmost to come to a right decision in all cases brought be- fore him. The former Registrar (Mr. Parkinson) was not only a competent man but absolutely the right man, and there was no Registrar in the country who had a more independent "ay õi meting out justice. He hoped his successor would live long. The new Registrar (Mr. D. E. Stephens) also thanked the Court. JUDGE'S STRICTURES AGAINST UNDESIR- ABLE ^TRANSACTIONS. John Thomas, Farmers Arms, Water-street, claimed the sum of £9 10s. from David Louis Rces, 15, Guildhall-square, in respect of monies lent under two I.O.Us. Mr. W. J. Wallis-Jones appard for I plaintiff, and Mr. Price Williams for defend int. Defendant denied owing the whole of the amount, and the suggestion was made that some of the inccey was in respect of drinks supplied. Mr Price Williams said that the custom of supplying drinks under an I.O.U. was a practioe that should be stopped. The associates were most undesirable. The custom appeared to be very prevalent n the town, and he understood that that was looked upon as a test case. Such a business shoul dbe stopped. His Honour said it was an undesirable kind of transaction. Here were two I.O.U's given within three or four days. However, he thought plaintiff was entitled to judgment, but it was a method of doing business which he did not like. This money had been lent under circumstances which ought not to exist. It must not be thought that because he found for plaintiff on that occasion that he would do so in future. He would not do it. Judgment was given for 10s. a month AUCTIONEERS AND DEBTOR. His Honour gave judgment in a case heard at the previous court, the circumstances of which being as follows: Ben Evans, Crown Mill, Llandovery, in- structed Messrs. William and Walter James, auc- tioneers, Swansea, to make a sale of his effects, his intention being to divide the proceeds between his creditors. U nder an undertaking given by Evans, the auctioneers paid the sum of JB33 14s. 6d. to Messrs. Thomas, Evans and Dyer (who were also creditors), the balance oft proceeds, with the ex- ception of 25s., being kept by Messrs James for monies due. Thre months afterwards Evans filed his petition in bankruptcy, and the Official Receiver (Mr H. W. Thomas) claimed that this was an illegal re- tention as against him as trustee. The question arose as to whether the auctioneers knew that Evans was insolvent. In giving judgment, His Honour said that in order to decide whether the uebtor had given notice to the respondents Itne auctioneers) that he had sus- pended. or was about to suspend payment of his debts, he had to decide whether to accept the un- corroborated testimony of the debtor against the evi- dence of the two auctioneers. He was not prepared to do that, especially as the probabilities of the case were in favour of the respondents. They were aue- tioners of experience, and if they had noticed that debtor was insolvent, he did not believe that they would have paid Messrs. Thomas, Evans, and Dyer the sum of £33 14s. 6o. Therefore on that issue he found for respondents. With regard to the second point as to whether the payment to the respondents of £33 14s. 6d. was a fraudulent preference he had to ask himself whether debtor's dominant motive was to defraud some of his creditors by preferring others. On the whole he found that it was so. Debtor must have known that he was insolvent and he therefore found that this came within the section of the Bank- ruptcy Act, and that the sum of JB33 14s. 6d. must be paid by the respondents to the Official Receiver. His Honour gave judgment accordingly, both parties to pay their own costs.

To the Editor of THE JOURNAL. Sir.—With reference to the attaohed cutting from the "South Wales Daily News" of to-day, re Aber- ystwyth rates and cheapness thereof, it must be great satisfaction to ratepayers that after 20,000 Territorial soldiers were quartered in and about the district for three weeks during the summer, the rates did not go up as some predicted, and ruination stare them in the face. In fact, it can be inferred that the be- haviour of the Welsh military went a long way in removing some of the prejudices which have stood in the way of recruiting in Cardiganshire. 8th December, 1910. MILES. "The principal business to come before the Aber- ystwyth Town Council on Tuesday was the pre- sentation of tae estimates for the next six months. In moving that a district rate of Is 4d and a water rat? of 5d be levied, Alderman C. M. Williams said many people asked how the large sums of money raised in the town were spent. He found that for the year ending March, 1910. the total expenditure was £17.080. of which the principal item was £7,008 paid in reduction of loans, interest, and sinking funds, salaries of officials took £1,784, roads, paving. etc., public lighting £1,090, scavenging £755, subscription to National Library £755, (part of £5.000). The lates ww proposed to be levied were t le iowpi-t for 32 years, and there would be a sub- sbJntjpl balance of £332 rafter meeting the estimated eziK-nditure. •Captain F >rre',t Roberts pointed out that the ad. verse ba'-mce on the borough fund had increased from J3941 in 19(37 to £4,007 in 1910, and he urged tnat estimates should be presented for the proposed expenditure out of this fund. The estimates were adopted. The Council voted J2100 to the Mayor as salary, I and resolved to inspect the proposed site for the erection of an isolation ward.

BRYNAMMAN NOTES
BRYNAMMAN NOTES (By "Park L&ne.") There is some talk among our Territorial Silver Band about changing their constitution. Instead of being a military band, it is proposed by some to transform the combination into a town subscription band. The Territorials have paid about £200 off the debts, and I understand that they can purchase the instruments for a further sum of £200. -v- A person at wmllynfell .has successfully reared up a fox. The animal, which was caught when a few weeks old DU). at Ffrydiau Twrch. is now about two years oid. and very domesticated. It is kennelled up like a dog, but will gailr trot bv its master's side when taken out for a stroll. It is. however very shy and nervous when it sees a dog. All fowls have to be kept out of its reach. Ita antics when a fowl copies into sight are verv amus- ing for it will hide {Iself in a most subtle manner until it can spring upon the unshspecting biped. (TO. The Liberals of the Gower Division fhink a great deal of their candidate (whoee parliamentary fate ia to be decided to-day), and some of them make the most wonderful claims on his behalf. The other rught, at a Brynamman meeting, a middle-aged member of the League of Young Liberals said Believe me, Mr. Phillips (the candidate) is a much more promising young man than Llovd George was at his age/* (!). ——■ Last week two persons from Brynamman travelled all the way to Denbigh, in order to give their votes to the Liberal candidate. Surely such amazing energy could have been put to a much better use! -+- ednesday, at Gibea :Chapel, a meeting was to Present Messrs. Fred Isaac and Cadogan W llliams with gifts on the occasion of their depar- ture for South Africa. Many of those present gave high and well-deserved praise to these young men. It is feared that some eighty colliers will shortly be thrown out of work aT Cwmteg Colliery. This, which is not the result of a dispute, but of bad trade or something, is very serious news for Bryn- amman. as there are already a large number of men out of work in the locality. It is earnestly hoped that their enforced idleness will be of short dura- tion. —>- Sinking is proceeding rapidly at the East Pit. The large volume of water encountered is being successfully coped with, a pump. capable of dealing with over sixty thousand gallons of water ner hour having been fixed in the shaft. Suitable strata having been driven into. it is proposed to maCe a large lodge or storage-room in the side of pit. With this method in use, the water will not follow the sinkers all the way down, and the pit can be sunk much more rapidly.
LLANDOVERY-
LLANDOVERY- PERSONAL.—We regret to note that P.S. Deans is indisposed and confined to the house. His duties have temporarily been carried out by P.C. Reynolds, Cilvcwm, the next senior officer in the district. He. we understand, will be substituted pending the Sergeant's recovery by P.C. Thomas, who previous to his removal to the lower end was also Rationed here. THE ELECTION.—The election passed off very quietly here. Mr. Peel addressed a very crowded meeting at the Drill Hall on the eve of the poil, whilst his opponent, Mr. Abel Thomas, addressed his supporters at the Town Hall. Dr. Williams, the Labour candi. date, was not seen at all in this part of the consti- tuency. To the majority of the electors he is un- known. Considering the prevailing oondition, A Peel did very well, and if he suffered a slight edu tion in the number of votes recorded in his arour his Liberal opponents fared far worse. Times are changing, and it is possible that even Abel miiht outstay his welcome. BOYS' INTERMEDIATE StHOOL.-We much regret that heavy pressure on our space makes it impossible tor us to reproduce this week even an extract of the excellent speech delivered by Aid. C.P. Lewis. J P chairman of the Governors, one the occasion of the formai opening of the boys' building at the Llan- dovery County School last week. We hope, to do so in our next issue.

CARMARTHENSHIRE GUILD.—The annual exhibition of the work of this Guild took place in the capacious Sale room of the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel, Carmar- then, on Wednesday, the 7th inst., when a large number of presidents, vice-presidents, and other ladies interested in the Guild were present. The Hon. Secretary (Mrs. W. Gwynne-Hughes, of Glan- oothy) is, we regret to hear, undergoing treatment in London owing to illness, and one of the presidents undertook her duties. Much regret was felt at the unavoidable absence of the Hon. Secretary, and sincere sympathy with her during her temporary indisposition was expressed on all sides. This year's exhibition was the twenty-fifth annual event of the Guiid, and it is very satisfactory and reflects great credit upon the workers that the number of gar- ments shewn exceed last year's number by upwards of 250. The arrangements were all that could be desired. An excellent tea had been provided for the workers, and everything passed off very satis- factory. A large quantity of clothing was to various public institutions and charities, and the poor of various towns and districts in Carmarthen- shire will thus be benefited as the result of the self- sacrificing labours of the members of the Guild during the past year. Below we append some par- ticulars of a more special kind likely to interest all whose wishes go forth for the growth and continu- ance of this Guild in its useful and unselfish career. It fills a place that would otherwise shew a great pap amongst the much-needed charities of the county of Carmarthen. Mrs. James John very kindly undertook the management of the tea. and amongst who gave efficient help generally were the Misses Richards, Mrs. Williams (Cambray House), Mrs. B. A. Lewis, and others. DEATH.—It is with sincere regret we ■ announce the death of Mr. Thomas Jones,-93, William-street, Ystrad, Rhondda, late of Pantycraflin, Carmarthen, who passed away on the 26th ult., after lingering for P, long time from diabetes. Deceased, who was a deacon of Bodringallt, Ystrad, Rhondda, for many years, was very highly respected by his fellow- members. He leaves to mourn his loss a widow, with whom the deepest sympathy is expressed. The funeral took place at Peniel on the 30th ult. The Rev. T. D. Jones, minister of Bodringallt, officiated at the house and church, while the Rex. H. T. Jacob officiated at tile graveside. A large number of his fellow-members and friends came down to pay th(4ir last tribute of respect to their departed friend, and a large number of old friends gathered at Peniel. A daughter of the deceased is Mrs. Davies, Parcmain-street, who was on the point of burying her son (Dillwyn Davies) when she received the sad news of her father's death. The chief mourners were: Mrs. Jones (widow): Mr. Thomas Thomas, Ystrad, Rhondda (brother-in-law): Mrs and Mr. D.

A large number of beautiful wreaths were sent, amonsrst those was one from his Sunday School Class. Mr. John Jones and Mr. William Jones (sons of de- ceased). who are out in South Africa, could not attend. The deepest sympathv is extended to them. WEDWNG.—A pretty wedding was solemnized at Christ Church on the 1st inst.. the contracting par- ties being Miss Margaret Mary Harris (Maggie), older daughter of Mr. David Harris, Cvoress House. f:.t. David's-street, to Mr. Samuel Phillips, of 14, Glamorgan-terrace, Swansea. The Rev. Owen Jones, vicar of Conwil, offiriated. The bride, who was given away by her father, was neatly attired in a costume of prunella cloth, with a black hat trimmed with 06trich feathers; and was also attended by two bridesmaids—Miss Lizzie Harris (her sister), and Miss Minnie Philips (bridegroom's sister)—the former being dressed in a rose-de-berv costume with hat to match, and the latter in a navy blue costume with hat to match. Mr. Archie Harris bride's brotherj and Mr. Jack Wesley (brother-in-law of bridegroom) acted as groomsmen. After the cere- mony the party returned to the bride's home, where a number of friends and relatives partook of a sumptuous breakfast. Later in the day the happy couple left for Swansea (their future residence). The bride's travelling dress was of a navy blue costume with a brown hat. Both bride and bridegroom were the recipients of many useful and costly presents.
