LOCAL GOSSIP.I .
LOCAL GOSSIP. I LIantrithyd Park, in the Vale, is enclosed by a strongly built stone wall in which the ravages of time have made many gaps. The breaches, however, are being gradually healed and the wall will soon appear intact once more. Tho famous mansion of Llantrithyd, the home cf the Aubreys, 16 fast crumbling into dust. The sons. and daughters of many of the rural clergy of England an<l Wales have dis- tinguished themselves in many lines of life. In the Yale of Glamorgan the daughter of a clergyman—Miss Hughes, of Llancartan enjoys the coveted reputation of being one of the greatest authorities on butter-making in Glamorgan. Miss Hughes knows the art in practice and theory, having passed several difficult examinations qualifying her as an expert. She is often, called upon to pass judgment upon butter and butter-making at agricultural shows in the Garden of Gla- morgan. Those who wish to know what the villages and parishes in the Vale were called in times past must consult the oldest inhabitants in that part of the county. Cowbridge is still sometimes called Ghein Pontyfon, and Flim- stone or Flemingstone, Trefleming. They also call Bonvilstone Tresimwn, Simon having been the Christian name of the Norman founder of the place, and Bonville his sur- name. In the same way the old people insist upon calling Pendoylan Penouehvyn, or more correctly Pendeulwn. They have not very often to call the Thaw y Ddawen. Bonvilsfune Parish Church contains the ashes of several members of the once great Bassett family. In the chancel there is a pure white marble tablet commemorating the names of two, and underneath is inscribed the legend—" Gwell angeu na ehwilydd"—Better death than shame. Mov Hall, the Scotch residence of Mackintosh of Mackintosh, is a grand old place, where Prince Charles Stuart, the Young Pretender, sought refuge after his de- feat at Ctflloden. in 1746. Intending his capture, Lord Loudoun set out at Inverness at the head of a detachment of Royal troops. But the young Prince got clear away by the stratagem of the Laird's wife. Moy Hall is said to have come into the possession of William, seventh chief of Macintosh, in the year 1336, by gift from David. Bishop of Murray, and has been in t-he possession of the Mackintoshes ever since—that is to say, for nearly 600 years. William, fifteenth chief of Macintosh, was treacherously be- headed by the Countess of Huntley while on a friendly visit to Huntley Castle in 1550, the cook's hatchet being used for his decapi- tation. It is wrong to prefix the work "The" to the name of Macintosh, who, by the bye, is Lord-Lieutenant of Inverness-shire. Strictly speaking, the chief of the clan of Chisholm is the only Scottish chieftain who is entitled to the prefix of Thc, P.T.O." Somewhere about the thirties" (writes a correspondent of "P.T.O.") "the ruling power of the great Dowlais Iron Works was Sir John Guest, the father of the present Lord Wim- borne. He had a scientific turn of mind, and was much interested in the building up of a locomotive by a skilful engineer in his em- ploy. The locomotive was completed, and called Lady Charlotte, Sir John's second wife. Sir John discussed with his engineer, Adrian Stephen, some invention that would give an alarm to the crowds of workmen who made the rairway track their roadway to and from the, works, and it was arranged that at the next visit to London he should' buy some old organ. pipes to experiment with. This was donel, and the whistle was invented, and for a long time imitations of cock-crowing, and other noises more discordant, were the pastime of early engine drivers." Mr. J. Ramsay Macdonald, M.P., who will address a Labour demonstration at Maesteg next month, is the secretary of the Labour Representation Committee and the chairman of the Independent Labour Party. He was born at Lossiemouth, Elcin, in 1866. the son of an agricultural labourer. He became a pupif teacher, and in 1888 was private secre- tary to Mr. Thomas Lough, M.P. He is a pronounced Socialist, and has edited the series of works on politics and: sociology brought out by the publication department of the I.L.P., and known as the Socialist Lib- rary. He is a frequent contributor to the advanced Press, and is a brilliant speaker. Many of the old huntsmen, of Glamorgan will remember that German Sheppard, whose death occurred on Saturday at Ged'ling, came to this county with the celebrated pack which Mr. J. C. Musters sold to Mr. Talbot for about- £ 3,000. The pack was sold at Mr. Talbot's death, and attracted all the crack huntsmen. and masters, but a good draft of the hounds and puppies were retained in the county. Sheppard, who remained in Gla- morgan1 with the pack for some time, made many friends. For a quarter of a century he has been, associated with the for- tunes of Lord Harrington's naok; he repre- sented the best type of huntsman, and had be- sides an excellent knowledge of hound-breed- ing. He commenced life. as have one or two other famous huntsmen, in a racing stable, serving under John Scott and Joe Dawson, and when with the former he often took the opportunity of having a day with- Lord Middleton's hounds, which he would more often than not follow on foot. Then he fin- ally elected to throw in his lot entirely with fox-hunting. One of his earliest situations was with Mr. John Chatworth Musters, arrd when that gentleman became Master of the South Notts country, Sheppard became his first whip and kennel huntsman. Musters is the celebrated horseman and huntsman of whom a book is written,; he made the record run and kill, hunting over part of three counties—over 30 miles. After spending some time in Glamor- gan, Sheppard, in 1882, commenced his long Career with Lord Harrinrton, which was only broken by his death on Saturday after a short illness. Thus another link with the hunting life of the late MIr. Talbot has been removed. Tom Whitemore, who afterwards became huntsman to the Okley Hunt, and William Cross, who was buried at Llantwit Major, also served in that capacity with Mr. Talbot, and the only huntsman left who worked under Mr. Talbot is Harry Lush. Al-. though up in years, Lush is as active and keen as ever in the pigskin: no matter how long or hard the day, or how fast the pace, Harry is always there.

BRIDGEND POLICE COURT.
BRIDGEND POLICE COURT. Saturday.-Before Messrs. R. W. Llewellyn (in, tho chair), W. Llewellyn, E. 5. Lynch Blcsse, R. L. Knight, OliveT Sheppard, W. Howell, J. I. D. Nicholl, Evan David, and D. H. Price. BRIDGEND CYCLE AGENT GETS OFF. John Thomas, a Bridgend cycle maker, was summoned for being drunk in Nolton-street, on October 13th. P.C. John Thomas denosed that the de- fondant was drunk he was staggering about the footpath. Witness spoke to him, and he said, I will go and see Dr. Simons." He went in the direction of the doctor's. Defendant: If I was drunk and incapable, why didn't you lock me up?—I did Jiot say you were incapable. In reply to the Chairman, witness said the time was about 10.45. Sergt. David corroborated. Defendant pleaded not guilty, and pro- duced a certificate signed bv Dr. Simons to the effect that he saw defendant at his con- sult iug-room about 10.45 p.m. on October 13th. The certificate ran He was in such a condition as to be able to converse quietly with me without mental confusion, and he seemed to have complete control of his limbs and tongue. I am of opinion that he was quite able to take care of himself, and not in such a condition to be disorderly or a nuis- ance to the public." Supt. Davies: The doctor should be here to give evidence. The Deputy Clerk: He does not say the man was net drunk. The; Chairman said the certificate went. to show that. at any rate, defendant saw the doctor. In the circumstances, and as there was no allegation of disorderliness, the case would be dismissed. BRIDGEND LADS IN THE CELLS. Four Bridgend lads Arthur Church, Daniel Co-iclly, Albert May. and Willianl May—who were charged on the information of P.C. Thomas with jostling -pedestrians on the previous Sunday night, were character- ised by Supt. Davis as extremelv troublesome. He added that the parents did not seem to exercise proper control. The boys were remanded in custody, and removed to the cells. Some hours later they were again placed in the dock, and the Chair- man severely censured tbeui. warning them that if they did not behave better they might find themselves in a worse lock-iip." CAKRATT SCHOOL ACCOMMODATION. Summoned for the non-attendance of his eon at school, Samuel Roberts, 13 Lloyd- street, Caerau, declared that he had sent his lad to the Caerau School, but there was no sixth standard there, and consequently he was required to attend the liigher Standards School at Maesteg—two miles away. De- fendant added that he could not afford to send his boy to the Higher Standards School unless they gave him a bursary. The Attendance Officer said the Caerau School was too full, and, as there was no 6th Standard, the boy had been sent home. Defendant: There is a 6th Standard in the girls' department at Caerau, and why should there not be one in the boys', too? Mr. Stockwood (clerk) :• The Bench cannot see that a 6th Standard is provided. You should take advantage of the Higher Stand- ards School. The Chairman You are certainly working against the inrorts of your children. Defendant: If I was in a financial position I would send him. The case was dismissed. Under similar circumstances, the summons against Thomas Roberts, 2 Victoria-street, Caerau, was also dismissed. STONING PONTYRHIL oIGNAMOX. BOYS IX TROUBLE. William Henry Healey, 22 Bridgend-road, Pontycymmer (15): Albert Davies, 71 Bryn- cottages, Pontyrhil (15). and George Henry White, 4 Station-road, Pontyrhil (14), did not appear to answer a charge of damaging the windows of a signal-box on the Great Western Railway at Pontyrhil on Sunday, September 15th. Mr. Parsons (Messrs. Vacnell and Co., Car- diff), who appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Company, said the boys did damage to the value of 10s., no less than six panes of glass being broken. P.C. Henry Senior spoke to seeing the de- fendants throwing stones at the box; alto- gether lie saw aoout three dozen stones thrown. When' he charged them they said they were "seeing who could throw furthest." Warrants were is&ued for the apprehension of the lads. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO CHILDREN. David Nicholas, labourer, and Rachel Lewis, of 10 Company-road, Maesteg, were charged with cruelty to three children, aged 7, 3, and 1 years-, by neglecting them in manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering and injury to their health. Alderman; T. J. Hughes, who appeared for the N.S.P.C.C., said the summonses were re- turnable for the previous Saturday, but only the male defendant appeared when the case was called on. It was adjourned, and in the meantime the children had been handed over to the Guardians. The cruelty alleged in this case was not of an aggravated form, but there was no doubt the children, who, he understood, were illegitimate, had been badly neglected. This case provided further evi- dence of the fact that the N.S.P.C.C. was a preventive more than a. prosecuting Society, because every effort had been made by visits to the house and conversations with tne de- fendants to make them mend their ways. The object of the Society was not so much to punish the defendants as to protect the child- ren, and it was in the interests of the child- ren that the prosecution should be under- taken in this instance. Inspector Williams, of the N.S.P.C.C., spoke to visiting the house occupied by the defendants on several occasions between July and October. They lived in a small court, the house providing altogether inadequate accommodation. The children were all badly neglected; they were poorly clad and ill-fed. The baby was especially in a poorly nourished condition, and on one occasion he asked the mother what she fed it on she replied On condensed milk," and he saw a tin of milk, which cost l-|d. and was specially marked Not for babies." On another occasion all the food in the house was a nortion of a loaf of bread and a little butter. The made de- fendant had promised him that there would bo no further trouble, but on his last visit things were worse than ever. Dr. Allan Low said he visited the house on October 1st. The baby on that date was in a rather emaciated conditioa. due to bad feed- ing. The mother stated that the child had been brought up on condensed milk and Bath biscuits. The only food in the house con- sisted of a l £ d. tin of condensed milk and a loaf, which had evidently just been sent for. The children were all in a neglected state, and though it was then three o'clock in the afternoon, the -little girl told' him that she had had no dinner, and only a little toast for breakfast. The bedroom, added the wit- ness, was not fit to go into. The female defendant: I have been a good mother to my children. I have, though I have been condemned unjustly. I never gave the child that condensed milk. Sergt. Davies gave corroborative evidence, adding that the children were oftentimes in the streets alone at night. The male defen- dant was given' to drinking. Nicholas said lie had the promise of an- other house. The Bench adjourned' the case, for a month, and advised, the defendants in the meantime to get another house. The children would, be again remanded to the Workhouse, but when they had procured a house they would be handed over to them, with the exception of the baby. The Bench would hear a report as to any improvement in the conditions. and decide accordingly. Defendants were bound over to appear in a month's time. A BRIDGEND SOLICITOR'S TOMATOES. INCORRIGIBLE LADS. Charged with stealing a quantity of toma- toes from the garden of Mr. W. R. Randall, solicitor. Bridgend, on, October 13th. George Tarr (15), John Stephens (11). and William Rees Be van (10) pleaded guilty. P.C. James stated that on visiting Stephen's house on Monday he found five to- matoes on the mantelpiece, and Mrs. Stephens stated that she did not know where they came from. When questioned the boy said, "I stolt- them yeste..A ay from Mr. Ran- dall's garden in Park-street. I had two othter boys with me—George Tars. and William Rees Be van." Witness afterwards saw the boys named, and they admitted the theft. The defendants we're brought to the Police-station by the parents, and witness changed them jointly with the theft. Tarr replied, I had 15 and threw them into the river," and Bevan said he threw some, of those he stole in the river, and placed others Ml the garden near his house. Stephens asserted' that he also threw some in the river, placing the re- mainder on the mantel-shelf in the house. Supt. Davis described, the lids as incor- rigibles, and said the parents were greatly responsible. The Chairman said the Bench believed the parents to be responsible, and ordered them to pay the fines of 10s., which would be im- posed. The boys were also bound over in L5 each to be of good behaviour. ASLEEP1 UNDERGROUND. Thomas Robinson, Wyndham-street, Og- more Vale, haulier, was charged with sleeping in'the Ocean Colliery. Nantymoel, while in charge of a lighted safety lamp. Mr. Kenshole was for the company. Morgan David Williams, manager, spoke to finding the defendant aslevp. He was 350 yards from the shaft. Defendant: I was bad, and had nothing to do. I sat down and dropped off to sleep. The Manager: He murmured something to the effect. that lie1 was not well. The Chairman It is a very serious thing to go to sleep underground. You must think yourself lucky by being let off on nay- ing 40s. Defendant: I will go dovrn. ARRESTED AT BRIDGEND. Patrick Dwyer, no fixed abode, was charged with stealing a. bag of veast, value 4s. 6d., the property of Rees Williams and Sons, Maesteg. Ezra Res, St. Michael's-road, Maesteg, stated that lie took a bag of yeast to Messrs. Rees Williams and Sons' bakehouse on Satur- day night. P.C. Stopford said he saw the prisoner offering the yeast for sale in Park-street, Bridgend, on Monday morning. He ar- rested the man on suspicion, and from in- quiries he found it had been stolen from Maesteg. Prisoner: It was on the window sill; I did not break into the premises. iL The witness Rees, recalled, said he placed the bag on the sill inside the bakehouse near a broken pane of glass. On being asked whether he preferred to be summarily dealt with, prisoner asked how long he would have to wait for the Assizes. He was told three months, and he said he would rather have the matter settled then. The Deputy Clerk (Mr. Walter Hughes): Do you admit taking it? Prisoner: Yes, and I wish I had sold it now. He was sentenced to three months. MISCELLANEOUS CASES. James Enoch, Bridgend, fruiterer, was fined 5s. for allowing a horse to stray. A chimney on fire led to Benjamin Rees, Caerau, bootmaker, having to pay 5s. For using improper language, David Phillips, Blaengarw, and Edward Harris, Pontycymmer, colliers, were mulcted in 10s. each.. Michael Simeone, Maesteg, Fanny Exton, Maesteg, and Peter Raingozzi, Blaengarw, refreshment-house keepers, were ordered to pay 12s., including costs, for Sunday trading. A temporary transfer of the license of the Travellers' Rest., Nantyff vllon, was granted from David Thomas to William Cook, for- merly of Ogmore Vale. Because of a conscientious objection to vac- cination. Ii; Davies, 3 Green-hill, Ponty- cymmer, and Daniel Hopkins, 30 Oxford- street, Pontycymmer, were granted exemp- tion certificates. Frederick Alfred Dawe, Kenfig Hill, and William Davies, Taibach, colliers, were sum- moned for falsely representing themselves to be travellers and thereby obtaining beer at the Angel Inn, Maudlam, on the previous Sunday.

William Howells, Garth, collier, was charged with being drunk and disorderly at Garth on Saturday night, and he and his brother, John Howells, also a collier, were charged with assaulting P.C. Wm. Dagg while in the execution of his duty. P.C. Cornelius Callaghan stated that about 11.45 on Saturday night he was on duty in 7 Bethania-street, Maesteg, Hvhen a gentleman informed him that "they were killing P.C. Dagg at Garth." Witness immediately pro- ceeded to Garth, and saw that a large crowd had collected in front of Dagg's house. Wit- ness pushed his way throu{m the crowd, and found P.C. Dagg and William Howells rolling on the road. Howells was biting and kicking the officer like a madman. Witness went to Dagg's assistance, and, after considerable struggling with Howells. he succeeded in handcuffing him. John Howells rushed through the crowd and struck P.C. Dagg in the eye; he was taken away by some men. P.C. Williams came on the scene, and he and witness took William Howells to the station. Supt. Davis said he had received a medical certificate stating that the constable was too ill to attend, he having been badly kicked. He therefore applied for a remand until Sat- urday. The application was granted. Bail was allowed in £ 25 each, with one surety in £25. A DISCLAIMER.

Encouragement From Bridgend.
Encouragement From Bridgend. This is encouraging news we receive from a resident in Bridgend — i I stand by all I said for Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, over three years ago," says Mrs. J. Burnett, Craig Cottage, Union-road, Bridgend. "I was a great sufferer before I used the pills, but they did me a lot of good, and I have been better ever since. I always keep some of the pills by me, for I think there is no medicine like them." The following is what Mrs. Burnett told us some years ago:—"For eight years before taking Doan's Backache Kidney Pills I didn't know what it was to be free from pain. I was a great sufferer from kidney trouble, and my back was so bad whenever I stooped that 1 could not get straIght. lor some time. i suffered also from indigestion and bilious- ness. I was almost afraid to eat' because of the pain it caused in my chest. My sight grew dim, and little specks seemed to be floating before my eyes. There were shoot- ing pains in my back, and gnawing pains round the hips. I was under the doctor's treatment, but I didn't got any better. Hearing of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, I made up my mind to try them, and with the use of the medicine my health gradually im- proved. The medicine has quite cured me now, and I am well in every way again." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per bpx (six boxes for thirteen: shillings and nineoence).; Of all chemists and stores, or post free, direct from Foster-McClellan Co., 8 Wells-street, Oxford- street, London, W.

THE RAILWAY CRISIS.
THE RAILWAY CRISIS. MASS MEETING OF MjiN AT TONDU. "SIGNAL FOR VICTORY." A UNANIMOUS RESOLUTION. A meeting of all grades of railwaymen was held under the auspices of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants at the Councl School, Tondu, on Sunday afternoon. In spite of the drenching rain which fell at the hour for which the meeting was called, there was a crowded attendance, testifying to the interest displayed in the present situation between the railway directors and the men. Mr. C. Fuller presided, supported by Alder- man John Thomas, miners acent; Messrs. A. J. Thatcher, Mountain Ash; E. Jones, Hirwain, and A. Thomas, Mountain Ash. The Chairman, iiL opening, announced the decision on the previous day of the four other railway employees' unions to support the A.S.R.S. in their demand for recognition—an announcement which was greeted with ap- plause. Other Trades Unions-were on their side, and lie believed the movement had the support of the travelling public. (Hear, hear.) The demand did not emanate from their general secretary, as an attempt had been made to show, but was initiated by the members of the Union themselves. Alderman John Thomas, miners' agent, said the position of railwaymen was anything but. what it ought to be. It. had been stated that to concede the programme of the men would mean lower dividends. Well, he be- lieved in fair dividends and in living wages; and if both of these could not be met under present circumstances, then the companies must charge higher freightage. (Hear, hear.) The refusal of the companies to recognise the men's union was out of date in this twentieth century. Almost every Trades Union was recognised, and bad as the coalowners had been in South Wales, they had never objected to meeting the men's leaders. Other men were as able to appear before the directors as the men's leaders, but they dare not go, and this was why recognition was essential in the interests of the union. A man, named Thornhill had been given a cheque and told to go at Swansea, and others, would follow from time to time unless the men stuck to their guns now. The Midland Railway Co. had told their staff that they would not re- cognise the union. Other peonle had ridden this high horse many times, but they had had to come down, and had done so most humbly, though they never came down with a flop. (Laughter.) He appealed to them to be men in their great movement, because if they did not see it through to a. finish it were better a thousand times they had not started, ine clerks had received circulars from the Great Western Railway Company asking them if they intended to be loyal in the event of a strike. His advice was to. be equally loyal to the companies and themselves. (Hear, hear.) The railwaymen had the sympathy of the Miners' Federation ot Great Britain, the membership of which numbered* 500.000. (Applause.) They had also the sympathy of tile dockers and all the other Trades Unions, who were not going to stand by and see them ill-treated. They had notning to be. afraid of in the event of a strike. Any Dick, Tom or Harry could not take the levers at the signal-box, touch the regulator on the engine or stoke. the fire, make UD a train, or go in the brake-van. Why the signalmen alone could paralyse the companies. According to "Reynolds's Newspaper," -00,000 railway workers were getting less than JE1 a week, and the average was only 25s. (Shame.) He^ ad- vised them to stick to their colours and to their leaders. Mr. E. Moles moved a ivsolution approving of the action of the Executive Committee in taking a ballot of the men to prove to the railway companies that the movement was one on the part of the men, expressing grati- fication at the result of the conference ot the various Railwaymen's Unions, and call- ing upon non-Unionists to join the society. The mover referred to the support the society had from the other Railway Trade Unions, who now spoke for the first time with one voice He asked those who had not sent in their ballot papers to do so by Saturday next (to- morrow). The resolution was seconded by Mr. Doyle. r* In supporting, Mr. A. J. Thatcher, Moun- tain Ash, advised the men to reply to the railway companies' no recognition" with no surrender." They should once and for all put an end to the present method of depu- tations to directors, which led to some of their best men being thrown, out. Speaking of the conditions of labour, he said he did not believe there was a man in the room who had not some grievance. Out of the ten largest industries, the railway workers came at the bottom of the list in regard to hours and wages, and if an improvement were to be effected it must be through combination. With regard to the circular which was being issued asking them if they intended to be loyal to the companies and whether they were pre- pared to- undertake duties outside their own grade, he advised them to treat it in the same way as the companies treated the men's com- munications and write across it in blue Tti's circular is having our consideration." (Laughter.) Last year 400 men were killed and 1,100 injured on the railways, and he was of opinion that if they had a Conciliation Board or had access to the directors, sugges- tions could be thrown out which would lead to a large number of accidents being pre- vented. The demands made in the National All Grades Movement, according to his calcu- lation, affected 230,000 men, and if they were conceded it would mean a little over three millions of money per annum. Well, last year the companies paid out to shareholders forty-three millions odd, while those who I worked on the railways only received twenty- y nine millions. It was time this order was reversed. (Hear, hear.) The reason higher dividends were not paid was because the stock had been watered to the extent of 200 millions. Mr. E. Jones, Hirwain, a platelayer, said his branch of the service was as important as the higher grades, but they were the least thought of, the worst naid, and the worst or- ganised. The last fact accounted for the others, but he was glad to know they were imnroviner. for whereas only 4.941 were in the society in November last, there were 10,000 members in June. They would not be satis- fied until they got the whole 50,000 in. He asked the members of the A.S.R.S. to be true to their society, and others to be true to the A.S.R.S. They were in either for victory or a crushing defeat. Which way were they going to pull the signal ? The Chairman 1 may inform our friends we have pulled, the signal for victory in this district. (Applause.) Mr. A. Thomas, Mountain Ash, referred to cases of victimisation and said the men ought to be in the position lO say Sack all, or sack none." The companies made a state- ment int their Red Book, copies of which were sent to the Press, that the staff were happy and contented, and were adequately paid. He would give them two instances which had come to his notice. One man 20 years of age worked 12 hours 45 minutes on week-days and 14 hours on Sundays all the year round, for 10s. per week, 8d. of which was deducted for clubs. The other (who had left the ser- vice) received 14s., less 9d. for clubs, on which to maintain himself, a wife, and one child. (Shame.) The resolution was then nut to the meet- ing, and carried unanimously, and votes of thanks concluded the public proceedings.
Waitress at Porthoawl.
Waitress at Porthoawl. In the Divorce Division on the 14th inst., Justice Bucknill had before him the unde- fended petition of Alfred Stanley Lewis, a postman, living in Lower Oxford-street, Swansea, for the dissolution of his marriage on the ground of the misconduct of his wife with the co-respondent, Mr. Peten Larsen, a German sailor, with whom she is now living at Charlton-place, HotwelH, Bristol. The petitioner said that lie married the respondent on the 23rd of September, 1902, at Christ Church, Swansea. After a time she told him she wished to go to Porthcawl to take a situation as a waitress at an hotel there. Much against his wish, she wept there. He first met the co-respondent in July, 1905, he being a lodger at the house. Evidence was given that in Chorley-place, Hotwells, the respondent and the co-respon- dent lived together as man and wife. There Mrs. Lewie was served with the divorce papers, and later on Mr. Larsen was seen at the Prince of Wales Dock, Swansea, but' he said he did not want to see the divorce papers, as he knew all about them. A decree nisi, with costs, was granted.
BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE…
BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. To the Editor. Sir,—It would be interesting to learn if the Breeches Bible" was included or ex- cluded from the exhibition of Bibles at our Parish-room at Newton, which x under- stand was a collection of early editions selected, arranged, and carried' out by ladies for the benefit of the Bt itish and Foreign Bible Society. If the, above edition was not in evidence, it might be of some interest to recall its history. The Breeches Bible" was the first edition printed in Roman letters and was always in high favour with English Puritans and Scotch Presoyterians. It as- sumed its curious and by no means attractive title from the translation therein of Genesis iii. 7, which runs thus: They sewed fig- leaves together and made themselves breeches."—Your obedient servant, E.L. Porthcawl, October 21st, 1907. "A KENFIG HILL COLLIER'S DELUSION." To the Editor. Sir,—It was stated in the report of Police- court proceedings on October 5th that the mother of Jenkin Thomas, who was charged with assaulting P.C. Savage, had been badly treated by her landlord. This, and the other statements made in reference to the landlord, are, to say the least, nothing but wilful dis- tortions of facts. For the purpose of assailing these scurrilous statements and those circu- lated by Mrs. Thomas, I eladlv offer to hand over C5 to the funds of the Porthcawl Rest if they are not misleading. Further, the same sum will be handed over if I fail to prove if challenged that I have made extremely generous offers to Mrs. Thomas in order that she might retain her home, independent of her sons. Without hesitation, I say if anyone has been badly treated I as the landlord am the man, and of this I have absolute and convinc- ing proofs. In justice to P.C. Savage, I may say he had not been consulted and knew no- thing of the affair until the following day.- Yours, etc., R. L. WILLIAMS. October 16th, 1907.
----_u----PEXCOED FREE CHURCHES'…
-u- PEXCOED FREE CHURCHES' RESOLUTION. To the Editor. Sir,—Two letters appear in the last week's issue of your adtairable journal, intended, I believe, to disprove the- statement made by highly respected citizens as to the drunken- ness that prevails at Pencoed, and to prove that Pencoed knows little or no drunkenness. May I be permitted a smail space in your valuable paper to state what seems to me to be a summary of the arguments in favour of the sobriety of Fencoed, and to offer a word of criticism? First of all. let us take the letter of Church Goer." The first argu- ment in favour of the sobriety is the state- ment that not for twelve years has a single licensee been convicted. Now this is a very plausible argument. But its assumption is wrong, for it assumes that whenever a man is found drunk, the publican who makes him drunk is convicted. Now, I admit that the publican who permits drunkenness ought to be convicted, as well as, and even more than, the poor drunkard who is the victim at once of his own vicious habits and of the greed for gold of the licensed trade. Certainly, it is the publican who should be punished. But does even Church Goer" suggest that that s so? Does he not know that in those,, towns in Glamorgan where most drunkenness pre- vails, there are no convictions against licensees for making people drunk. But strange to say in the very same para- graph we read' the following The same people cause the disorderly scenes re- peatedly." Why, this admits the very thing alleged by the Free Churches and denied in his letter by Church Goer." There is an admission of disorderliness. Here is more, Church Goer" even knows who they are. They are the same people. Here is an ad- mission that they are doing it not simply oc- casionally, but repeatedly." Church Goer" thus admits in plain Saxon, terms the very thing he seems to intend to deny. More singular still, "Church Goer" not only admits the offence, but in his second para- graph even offers a. justification for it. The reason for drunkenness and diosrderliness is that the Free Church Council does not pro- vide Free Libraries, etc. Will Church Goer" tell us why the Free Churches should provide this more than the Jvstablished Church? Why does not he, a valiant, loyal champion of the. Church, initiate a movement among the wealthy Church-goers in favour of a Free Library? But to return to the point. Will he explain why the absence of a Free Library justifies lawlessness ? If a burglar broke into a house because there were more valuable treasures there than in the burglar's own house, would "Church Goer" then blame the absence of a Free Library. The argument of Church Goer" is very popular, is very plausible, yet really is one that ought not to be used outside the walls of Pare Gwyllt. "Church Goer's" letter indeed is so con- fused and contradictory that one suspects the Church is not the only place he attends. As to Old Inhabitant's letter, it proves only that some people who have recently come to the village and who spend some part of the day away from it, are keen enough to see more of it than he does. I will add this, Mr. Editor: No people are at the present time doing a better service to the county than those who, like the Free Churches of Pencoed, are trying to suppress drunkenness. All honour to them. No people have ever tried to do this, so far as I know, who have not been denounced, as if they were the cause of all the wickedness and not simply trying to get rid of it. It is exactly on a par with blaming a doctor who tries to cure a disease as if he were the cause of it. As neither of your correspondents has given, his proper name, I will not gratify their curiosity by subscribinsr mine, but simply, as being of the Pencoed Free Churches AN ADMIRER. [Other letters on the same subject are crowded out.-Ed. G.G.]
LICENSEE'S SON AND DOMESTIC.…
LICENSEE'S SON AND DOMESTIC. A LLANTRISANT APPEAL. At Glamorgan Quarter Sessions, Swansea, on Friday, the appeal was heard of Nicholas Price, a, young man who lives with his mother at the Butchers' Arms, Llantrisant, against an order of the Barry justices upon the apnli- cation of Mary Jordan, (18), daughter of a gardener at Barry. Mr. Ivor Bowen was for the appellant, and Mr. St. John Francis Wil- liams for the respondent. The case for the respondent was, that while appellant, who, it is understood is the son of the late eccentric doctor of the same name, lived at the Butchers' Arms', respon- dent was in the habit of going there, partly as a servant and partly as a visitor, being a friend of the appellant's mother. It was stated that intimacy first occurred on August 26th, last year, in the smoke-room; that when respondent told P'rice of her condition he said he would" see her through her trouble"; and that he then gave her some medicine which made lier ill. In January she wrote to appellant, and then received a letter from his solicitor absolutely denying that Price was the father of her child. In cross-examination it was suggested that respondent had been intimate with others, and that she had been dismissed from her situation at Penarth on that ground. This she denied. It was further suggested that the appellant was at St. Mary Hill fair on the whole of the day the intimacy was alleged to have taken place. MIr. Prickett, chemist, of Llantrisant, said the appellant went to his shop for some medi- cine, saying it was for a. young lady, who did not care to go herself. This was the only corroboration, and Mr. Ivor Bowen submitted there was no case. The Chairman said the corroboration was slight, and consequently the-re was a case to answer. The appellant went into the box and denied the intimacy, and said that he was not at the public-house on the day in question. With respect to the call upon the chemist, he said it was at an earlier period than was suggested by the respondent, and he further said that he told the chemist that he wanted it for his mother, who suffered from anaemia. Tht appellant's mother gave evidence in support of the statement that defendant was at St. Mary Hill Fair on the day in question. The appeal was dismissed with costs.
-t. W.K cMPERANCE UNION. .-------.
t. W.K cMPERANCE UNION. OO.VJSR.T AT BRIDGEND. The thira quarterly meeting of the No. 7 (Cardiff) Division of the G.W.R. Temperance Union was held at Hope Schoolroom on Sat- urday evening, there being a good attend- ance. Mr. Waite, general secretary of the Union, presided, supported by Mr. W. Jones-l'hoin^s, Pencoed; Mr. T. Fear, divisional president; Mr. J. Verkins, Bridg- end bra noli president, an-a Mr. C. Davies, divisional secretary. An interesting programme of music was carried out by Newport members of the Society. ±he Alexander Male Voice Party gave finishea renderings oi The Crusaders and The bwrm." They were conducted by Mr. Tom iirvans, who also contributed the song The V iking Bold," in good voice. E. Bristow greatly pleased the audience with her choice rendering of Jttoses, roses. every- where," and joined her sister in the duet Venus ftong." Miss Edith Williams's, efforta were much appreciated in Angus Macdonald. Variety was alforded oy a violin solo oy Mr. D. Harding. Miss May Morgan caused much amusement by her reci- tation, "The Inventor's Wife." "The Skipper of St. Ives," was a good song well sung by Mr. Cliff Harding. Mr. Reg. Jones sympathetically accompanied. In the course, of an interval Mr. W. Jones- Thomas gave an address, lie remarked that he could claim some relationship with rail- waymen, because his father was an old rail- wayman" and the fact that he was a total ab- stainer and was hale and hearty at 82 years of age was a good testimonial for temper- ance. It was a pleasing sign of the times that there was such a flourishing institution as the G.W.R. Temperance Union, and he was delighted to hear of the progress it was making. He knew of no class of worker to whom total abstinence was more necessary than railwaymen, whose work required steady nerves, self-control, and mental presence. When they were told by medical experts—not temperance faddists like himself (laughter)— that alcohol inflamed the stomach, weakened the heart, and in process of time engendered various diseases, and when they saw from daily observation that. alcohol was a poison inducing drowsiness, he thought the risks were so great that raihvaymen should avoid it altogether. The society embraced two platforms, and while total abstainers appre- ciated1 tho co-operation of those friends who were not able to see eye to eye with them, he felt it his duty to urge them to go all the 'way. For one thing, moderate drinking was not safe, and it was certainly embarrassing. During the Revival, many of the converts be- came what Sankey would call out-and-outers, and gave up drink and smoking; some had gone back, but others were now pillars of the churches. Temperance was making progress. The time was not far back when a society could not have obtained a schoolroom for a temperance meeting, but now they heard temperance sermons from the pulpit and tem- perance lessons in the Sunday School. There was also a wonderful transformation in the opinion of medieal men, who in the past had been much to blame for the way they had recommended alcoholic drinks. More than half the Labour party in Parliament were total abstainers, and everyone of them was pledged to advance "terniterance legislation and advocate th4 regulation and control of the liquor traffic by the people. At the last General Election the l,iewnsinit World" pub- lished a list of 231 candidates who they said deserved support because they supported the liquor trade; only 75 of them found their way to Parliament-bad luck to them. Taking Parliament as a whole, they found such men as the Lord Chancellor, Llovd George. John Burns, Herbert, Lewis, Leif Jones. Sir Thomas Whittaker, and many others on their side, so that when they paraded their forces they had nothing to be ashamed of. He was a great- believer in land and housing reform, and would support the raising1 of all slums to the ground and creatine garden cities and model villages. He would make it compulsory for every house to be built with a garden at- tached of sufficient size to erow vegetables for the family, but when all this had been done, if, as Mr. Shackbeton said the other day, they allowed a serpent to remain in their paradise, they would soon go back to their former state.. The grand old man of tem- perance. Sir Wilfrid Lawson, had named alcohol The devil in solution," and Shakes- peare graphically described it as an' enemy in their mouths to steel away their brains." The speaker was warmly thanked for his address.

I.L.P. SOUTH WALES ORGANISER. a RETURNS TO CHRISTIANITY. At a meeting held at Heolyfelin Welsh Bap- tist Chapel, Trecynon, the pastor, the Rev. Cynog Williams, read the following letter from Mr. J. H. it.A., the South Wales organiser of thol.L.P. 19, London-road, Neath, 4th October, 1907.-The Rev. Cynog Williams.—Dear Sir, I have before me the "Weekly Post" report of a sermon of yours on Christianity and secularism. I don't think Christian- ity requires to be defended, but so specious are the facts of secularism that in my judg- ment, for the sake of the young folks :t should be demonstrated that secularism is illogical. Personally I cannot feel that it is my duty to reply to you through the papers. I think, however, that you are entitled to know that after 18 years opposi- tion to Christianity, I have during the past 10 months heard the voice of the Saviour calling me, and four months ago peace en- tered my soul. On the 27th of the the present month (D.V.) I hope to be baptised at Ebenezer Chapel, Burnley, Lancashire, and thus pub- licly testify to the power of Jesus.-With regards, yours fraternally,—GEORGE H. BIBBINGS.

----.STANDING JOINT COMMITTEE.i
STANDING JOINT COMMITTEE. Mr. Oliver H. Jones presided at the annual meeting of the Glamorgan btanding Joint Committee at the County Offices, Cardiff, on Monday. It was agreed to erect Polioe-etations at Nelton and Tonyrefail.—No recommendation was made with regard to an application for a Police-station at Penygraig. The committee decided to appoint Mr. Ivor L. Purnell, architect, Cardiff, to prepare plans for the erection of a Police-station at Cadoxton. The Clerk (Mr. T. Mansel Franklen) read a communication from the Secretary of State, intimating that a grant had been made of a separate commission of the peace of the county borough of Merthvr. In consideration of the augmentation of the duties of the justices' clerks in the vari- ous Petty Sessional Divisions in the county, a scale of automatic increases of their salaries was granted. A further communication was considered as to the terms upon which Miss Talbot would build a Police-station at Reynoldston. This called forth a remark from the Rev. John Davies (Cadle) that it was very strange that any land owner should refuse to grant a piece of land. The Chairman: Miss Talbot has not re- fused. We could not accept the terms upon which it was offered. The Rev. John Davies: On the Gower coast there are miles and miles of waste land. Wo should appeal to Parliament. It is a disgrace to Wales. (Laughter.) The matter was deferred. The Chief Constable in his report recom- mended the creation of a new "A" Division of the county, with headquarters at Aber- dare, the new division to include, in place of the corporation area of Merthyr, the Rhym- ney Valley down to Rudry, below Caerphilly, and, in addition, the Aber, Senghenydd, and Nelson districts. Captain .Lindsay also sug- gested certain augmentations to the force. Before considering the Chief Constable's recommendations, the Chairman asked that a letter from the 'Secretary of State with reference-to the application of the Merthyr Corporation for a separate police force for the borough be read. This letter pointed out that, provided 't was not disadvantageous nor unfavourable to the interests of the borough, the Home Secretary would be prepared to consider an application to this effect. But in the mean- time he desired to be informed what would be the extent of the proposed force, what number of the existing force would be taken over, the amount of salary proposed to be paid to the Chief Constable, whether the views of the ratepayers had been ascer- tained in the matter, and whether arrange- ments had been made or proposed to be made for the services of extra police in case of emergency. The Chairman: I would advise the com- mittee to keep their hands quite free in this matter, and not enter into any binding agreement. I move that we decline to enter into any agreement in the matter of grant- ing police assistance. Mr. J. Blandy Jenkins seconded, and the resolution was unanimously agreed to. The Chairman did not think it was oppor- tune to go into the matter of a. new division at present. They had better wait until the result of the Merthyr application was known. He also strongly recommended that no increases be made in the meantime in the Merthyr division; otherwibe. if Merthyr were granted a separate force they would have a number of officers and men thrown on their hands. After some discussion, it was resolved, on the proposition of Mr. Sam Thomas, seconded by Alderman John Thomas, that the whole question be deterred until it was known what would be the decision of the Home Secretary in the matter, and also what number of men the Merthyr Corporation would be prepared to take over.

DAIRY SHOW TOUR. .
DAIRY SHOW TOUR. INTERESTING PLACES VISITED BY GLAMORGAN FARMERS. As it will bo of interest to the farming community, especially those who did not take advantage of the Glamorgan. Dairy Show tour, which has been so successfully oarried out, to learn further particulars, a- Press representative interviewed 011 his re- turn Mr. Hedger Wallace, the county agricul- tural lecturer, who conducted and directed the party. Asked what impressed "he party most, Mr. Wallace replied, "I think it was the visit to the margarine works at Southall. We got special- permission from Messrs. Otto Mousted (Limited), and were shown round every department, from the stores of animal and vegetable fats to that of separated milk. I think the cleanliness and order struck every- one. 1 have seen margarine works in Holland, and to me the dairy department at this factory was a new feature. At Southali they buy milk like a creamery from farmers, and on arrival separate it. From the cream they make butter, and the skim milk ;g cooled and then matured for mixing with oleo. The butter, I think, is used up in the- manufacture of butter substitutes. We saw the cream in ripening tanks, also the ski-ai milk in cold storage tanks and maturing tanks. The churns for butter were of tb6 new German type, of which examples were on stands at the Dairy Show. In these ohurns, after the butter has come, a platform butter worker is run into the churn, and the butter is worked inside the churn." VISIT TO LONDON DOCKS. In answer to the question what he thought the party seemed to place second to the margarine works, Mr. Wallace stated that their visit to the warehouses at the London Docks was, he thought, quite a revelation to them "I must say the. dock people were very good to us. We were divided into two parties, and the superintendent of the London Docks himself took charge of one of them. We must have walked miles. We were taken through wool floors. wine vaults, hide floors, and floors in which ivory, spices, essential oils, coffee, currants, and I do not know what else were stored." The party, Mr. Wallace stated, learned one new fact when in the coffee warehouse, namely, that the huslis which are taken off the ooffee berry by machinery are sold to cattle feeding-cake makers. MILKING. Mr. Wallace said the visits to dairy farms were of special interest. At all the farms they saw the cows milked. At Wood's Dairy Farm, near Cheltenham, the men put on white overalls before milking, and they did the same at the College Farm, Finchley. where in addition the milkers wore white skull caps. At Mr. Pierpont Morgan's place the men milked into cans like a Jersey milk- can—a rather difficult thing to do. Great interest was taken in the milking, as some members of the party were competitors in the milking competitions. All the Glamor- gan competitors began badly, by the bye, for they a 1'1 lot five points in the judge's books for a. bad approach to the animal. Mr. Wallace gives great credit to the ladies and gentlemen in the partv for their cross- examining ability, and he thinks they learnt all they could as to the feeding of the anilnals and their treatment. PROFITABLE DAIRYING. The most practical place visited was Lord Rayleighs. The party were entertained to lunch by his lordship's nephew, and were then driven over seven farms on the estate. There are no fancy buildings 011 these farms, and 800 cows are kept. To many in the party it came as a revelation to hear it admitted that they made yearly over 10 per cent. prom,. Every man concerned- trom cowman and milker to manager, gets a bonus according to the profit realised. The party saw about 300 cows in their stalls, The sh-edsaro well white-washed, and tho animals are all groomed and kept clean, the manure being removed as quickly as possible. A record is kept of the milk yield of all the cows, and all the books kept for this purpose were shown and explained to the party. There is not an animal on th&- place yielding less than 600 gallons a year; from 700 to 900 gallons ia a common yield. One cow, with her tenth calf, had giveh 1,200 gallons; one was giving eighteen quarts a day and others 22 quarts a day. Last year's record book showed cows giving from 1,004 galloiis up to 1,674 gallons. In answer to an inquiry whether the party took special note of anything at the Dairy Show, Mr. Wallace said he found they were much impressed by the difference between the look of an animal and her performance. At the Dairy Show most of the animals compete for two sets of prizes—in the first- place those awarded tor appearance bv inspection; and secondly those awarded for performance, the awards in this case being dependent upon a series of points for the weight of milk produced on two days, as well as for the butter fat and other solids it contains. The only time the judges who judged by appearance agreed with the judges who judged by performance was in the Guernsey class, when both se1:ii of judges placed Queen. of the Roses" first.
