MidxRhondda Permanent Money…
MidxRhondda Permanent Money Society. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Mid- Rhondda Permanent Money Society was held on Tuesday evening of last week at the Unitarian Chapel, Clydach Vale. Dr. T. L. Morgan (president of the Society) presided over a moderate attendance of members. The statement of accounts (extracts of which appear in our adver- tising columns), together with the auditors' report, was adopted on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. T. R. Davies. In moving its adoption, the Chairman referred to the excellent progress made by the Society during the nine months of its existence, the accounts shewing a total income of nearly 9650, while the management expenses had totalled only L48. The gross profits amounted to L- 140 7s. 9d., out of which dividends amounting to -281 9s. 7d. had been credited to mem- bers, leaving a balance of profit of £ 58 18s. 5d. Dr. Morgan also pointed out the advantages of the Society for a mining district, and although the mem- bership was now about 160, there was still further place for exertion by the members to increase their number, thereby furthering the welfare of the Society. Mr. M. Davies proposed, and Mr. E. Jones seconded, that L30 of the profits be placed to a reserve account, and that the balance (£28 18s. 5d.) be carried for- ward to the next account. This was agreed to unanimously. The retiring members of the commit- tee (Messrs. M. Davies, T. R. Davies, F. James, and E. Jones) were unanimously re-elected on the motion of Mr. J. T. Jones, seconded by Mr. T. Deere. The retiring, auditors were also re- elected, and the confirmation of the appointment of the trustees (Messrs. D. Davies, M.E., R. S. Griffiths, D.C., and the Rev. T. Williams) was approved of on the motion of Mr. Dl. Jones, seconded by Mr. J. T. Jones. A hearty vote of thanks to the Chair- man concluded a very successful meeting. As will be seen from our advertisement columns, the Society commences its fifth quarter next week, and intending mem- bers should join at once so as to secure the full quarterJs benefits. The Society is a purely local one, being managed by gentlemen elected by the members them- selves. It offers; substantial returns to investors, while borrowers are treated considerately. The balance sheet shews the Society to be in a, highly satisfactory condition, and deserves the earnest sup- port of the Mid-Rhondda inhabitants. The registered office-opeit weekly (Tues- days, 7 to 8.30 p.m.—are at the Blaen- clydach Refreshment Rooms, Clydach Road, Clydach Vale, where a prospectus (gratis) and any information can be obtained.

Editorial Notes,
the footballer, always on the ball," and uses his feet well in playing the game of representative obligation. We wish Mr. Griffith Evans and Mr. Eveleigh every success. The fact that they have been elected proves that they are good men and high in the appreciation of their fellow-electors. The success of Mr. W. P. Thomas at Treorchy was more than any outsider had expected. His poll and his majority were records, and is another Proof that the Rhondda Nonconformists are beginning to view "the Trade can- didate for public offices with more and more disfavour. The feeling is possibly averse to dismembering existing ones, but new claimants will find it increasingly difficult to get a foothold. There is no doubt that Mr. Phillips' greatest handicap In the race was Y Dafarn." On personal Points lie is admirable, but religious men Uiust be consistent. We are glad to find ilir. Roderick Morgan winning easily on the Guardians. He is worth it, and will repay his promoters by reflecting cleanli- ness and purity in any administration demanding human sympathy and forgiving consideration. The great Waterloo of the Valley was the contest at Pentre. Here we had that test for intelligent devotion to funda- mental principles which agitate the spheres of educational polity. Mr. Walter Williams represented the Free Church standpoint, while Canon Lewis was the exponent of the view which is held by the followers of the Tories, on the question of Mr. Balfour's 1902 Education Act. The Canon has all the prestige of a personal tradition accumulated by a residence of over forty years among the people. Many Nonconformists had contracted a deep personal regard for him; they had been recipients of personal favours which were within the bestowal of the only clergyman who, for years was amongst them. There is no denying that this gathering; of good feeling had spread its roots deep and wide in the soil of their appreciation and gratitude. These were formidable con- siderations, and the supporters of the Canon did not fail to use them to the utmost extent against an opponent who had no past history of public service to support him in the fight. The only resource left Mr. Williams and his friends was the educative policy of rubbing in the fundamental principles by platform speaking on the difference between these two views. Clericalism and Non-Clericalism had to he preached, but it was preached with difficulty, though with great effect. The Numerical strength of the Noncon- formist vote in the Ward was much greater than that represented by the vote at the poll, and the Canon's numbers, Without a doubt, included many a Free Churchman who was more controlled by Auld Lang Syne than a rigid, intelli- gent and loyal exercise of a, political con- science. The election literature of the Church Party was a distortion to prove that, despite his Clericalism, Canon Lewis ^as not such an extreme man as his creed. When a Clerical candidate has to fall back uPon a, quotation from Lloyd George, and one that was divorced from context and circumstances of delivery, the extremity 9^ despair has been reached. Mr. Lloyd weorge ^nd many others have always been Pleased to concede credit to opponents tor even crumbs of illuminated extracts, &ut detached secular quotations, like £ criptural verses, are capable of very heretical variety of interpretations if handled in isolation. We should be glad elaborate this argument if space per- mitted. However, the strife is over, and the victory for truth, and the whole truth, not snatches of it, has been upheld in the triumph and remarkable victory scored by Mr. Walter Williams. fi The Guardians Election at Tonypandy fi nished up as we expected with a good rst for Mrs. Wm. Morgan. Mr. Hughes' Youth and single-blessedness no doubt against him and in favour of Mr. j^avid Jenkins. There was much mud- hrowing, but it is fair to Mr. Jenkins to gy that he was not the starter, and Mr. •^Ughes must regret that some of his ^Pporters shewed more zeal than dis- £ The victory of Messrs. J. W. *wchards and J. T. Jones was pronounced. The two candidates ran together, and the ^Umbers recorded for them showed the bond was faithfully carried out. The etnarkably small difference in the votes ly such a large poll, and so extended a Ili8triet proves indisputably the loyalty ■tf. the candidates and their supporters. Would that douBle-harness running: were like this return, there would be ttle distrust and suspicion in this old world of ours. The County Council nominations made by the Aldermanic elevations T Messrs. Morgan Williams, Richard ■Brin^18' Davies, and Wm. Morgan 7*" only result in one eleotion. We T Bgratulate Councillors Watts Morgan, aines Evans, and E. T, Davies upon the rftf 6^6 another registered unopposed contest is forced upon Mr. Davies, and candidly, hipon the raerit of his work in the past, we think the contest against him uncalled for and undeserved. Mr. Davies' service on the County Council, particularly on those committees where the silent and quiet administrative spade-work duties have to be done, heartily deserves another tenure ot representative opportunity. We could, if necessary, detail this particular kind of work, and which is, unfortunately, never reported to the public, though invaluable in its magnitude and ksignificance. A volume of the most interesting infor- mation could be written on administra- tive details of the County Asylum alone. it is not easy to explain the work of this department in a short paragraph, but the depths of human sympathy can be illus- trated by a truly experienced representa- tive, and this we know Mr. Davies has devotedly extended. Practical Socialism is indeed reflected in the great improvement which has taken place in the management of this sorrowful mental infirmary. Every month non-talkative Councillors are found thereat, plodding away at smoothing ,and alleviating the sorrows of our unfortunate people who have to eke out the existence of a living death. The work of this Committee and those others which have to safeguard the purity of our food, is a work demanding the constant and vigilant attention of the administrators. We have it on the best authority that in this kind of duty the experience of a tradesman is in regular demand, and cannot be mastered without long training. We have no wish to criticise Mr. Evan Watkins, who now challenges Mr. Davies' continuous right to the seat. We know that, personally, he has many estimable qualities, but we fail absolutely to find that he has any special predominant gifts to offer in sub- stitution foi' those so honestly and sin- cerely exercised by Mr. Einoch Davies. Promises are easy, but registered facts difficult of attainment. Mr. Enoch Davies has worthily proved his title. Mr. Watkins has to make it. A bird in the hand is better than a. doubler in the bush. The Treherhert electorate should ponder before sanctioning a change. They will be wrong if they will not note and balance truly the qualifica- tions, potential and developed, of the two applicants for the job. It will be strange if Mr. Enoch Davies' past experience, added to an earnest and honest devotion, without forgetting a natural trained ability and public capacity, will not greatly outweigh in the scale against an opponent, however personally esteemed, who has to learn the ABC of all the great and expanding work of County Oouncildom.
