Ammanford Rugby Club Dinner.…
Ammanford Rugby Club Dinner. 4- PRESENTATION OF CAPS TO PLAYERS. Tributes to the Team's Good Play. The players and members of the Amman- ford Rugby Football Club were on Thursday night at the Cross Inn Hotel, entertained to dinner by the popular President of the Club, Councillor E. Hewlett, and the function proved both enjoyable and interesting. A large company sat down to an excellent re- past served in the best of style by Host and Hostess Edwards. Advantage was taken of the occasion to present the players with caps generously given by that good sportsman Mr. J. M. Darbyshire. Mr. E. Hewlett presided over the post- prandial proceedings, and, the loyal toasts having been honoured, he called upon Dr. Price to propose a toast which he was sure they would all drink to with heartiness and zest—" The Amnianford Football Club." (Cheers). Rising to do so, Dr. Price said lie was de- lighted to have the honour of being present and the proposing of that toast gave him great pleasure. It was in every way worthy of be- ing well drunk to. (Hear, hear). The team this season bad kept their record on the ground, which in itself was worth something to any team, but not only that, he did not think they had a point scored against them on their ground. (Hear, hear). There were not manv teams, not only in South Wales, but throughout the United Kingdom, that could boast of such an achievement. For those two reasons alone he thought the Ammanford Club deserved every praise. He expressed the h pe that they would stick together during the next season-there was nothing like unity —and then not only would they have a ground record to be proud of, but a clean sheet in both away and home matches. (Cheers). He would couple with the toast the name of an old footballer, Mr. Dd. Jones, ftie chairman of the Council. (Hear, hear.) They may not all know that Mr. Jones was an old foot- baller. He was the only person present who was a member of the team in Ammanford in 1886, when the place had a combination almost as good as that of last season. (Laughterl. He (the Doctor),did not say that it was quite as good, but it was a wonderful team, and if the players then had only kept together Ammanford now would probably have been a first-class team. However, he hoped and believed that the present team would not make that mistake, but would keep going on until they ranked as one of the first-class teams of South Wales. (Applause). Responding, Mr. Dd. Jones said he had much pleasure to be there that night to re- yirB,dUi«i xLut .old football club of Ammanford— (hear, hear)—and it gave him much pleasure to respond to the toast of the present club. The Doctor had referred to him as an old foot baller, and he quite agreed that that team did pretty well in those days, but it was not quite so good as the one the town possessed to-day. He hoped the team would continue to flourish and would not die out as that organi- sation which had been referred to did. He, himself, was still very fond of football. (Hear, hear). Even if he was not playing himself they had a very good part of him playing for them. (Laughter and hear, hear). He gave them, he believed, every encouragement, as he felt the game deserved support. (Loud cheers) Coming to the presentation, the President observed that Mr. Darbyshire—(applause)— had very kindly promised the players those caps if they performed a certain function, and they did perform it, with the result that the caps were there that night. It was one' of the finest things that could happen to the Club that they should prove to Ammanford people, and to South Wales generally, that they had played the game of football all through the season. (Hear, hear). There "were many teams that won matches, but did snot always play the game and, please bear an mind, he considered personally that the Ammanford team during the last season played thorough gentlemanly football. (Hear, hear, and applause). The game at Carmar- then struck him particularly in that respect, and the remarks of the spectators, of course, xluly emphasised, were, "There's passing tman Never seen anything like it at inter- unmonal matches!" (Laughter and hear, 'hear). That was the essence of good foot- ilall-tlie essence of a good team, of fine train- a and fine coaching-because once selfish- ness aud greediness entered into a team the &ruiie was spoilt. (Hear, hear). When they •Saw a footballer, be he forward, be he three- quarter, getting rid of the ball when he sees danger, there was a likelihood that that team would go through the season unbeaten. (Cheers). Proceeding, Mr. Hewlett said he ifelt sorry for one point and that was that he was not able to give them blazers. He had fervently hoped that they were going to get 'them this year, and he was rather ashamed ,of himself that he did not give them, although 'they were beaten afterwards. But he would promise them this. Let them stick together, play the game for another season and see if they could not win them. (Cheers). He would not stick at one defeat nor yet two, 'let them play a good, fair, nice, gentlemanly .g ame, and probably they may be able to say 'that for the season 1913-14 they had got .something to put on their backs. (Applause). The last season's captain (Mr. Ivor Jones) 'was then called forward, and, placing ;< cap upon his head, Mr. Hewlett said, "You led .your team well, and you led thettt to victory in most cases. May you always look bnok mpon this cap in years to come and say, "In H.yGL2—13 we did ideally." (Applause). Those mho were also presented with caps were Dai Lewis (vice-captain), T. J. Jones, Randel Richards, Albert Griffiths, D. M. Rees, Dai Llan Evans, Geo. Rees, T. J. Bowen, Evans, W. Ward, Trevor Williams, Dai Price, Frank Davies, Basil Jones, J. V. Jones, WT. J. Harries, Fred Jenkins, J. Ley- .shon, Wilfred Lewis., and Stanley Diivk^. The players were enthusiastically cheered and Mr. Hewlett had a happy remark to make in handing over the beautifully wrought head- gear to each of the 22 recipients. They were supplied by Mr. J. T. Jones, of Quay-street. Mr. Ivor Jones submitted the toast of the health of Mr. J. M. Darbyshire, whom, he said, was as good a sportsman as any in the world would be found. (Applause). The toast was heartily drunk, the company lustily singing, "For he's a jolly good fellow." Responding, Mr. Darbyshire thanked the players for the way they had accepted the gift of those caps, and assured them it had given him very great pleasure to fulfil his fifth year's promise. He hoped they would stick together as their worthy President had urged them to do, and show him that they could win the blazers, and more than that. There were in course of formation competitions for a Welsh Cup, there being first and second class divisions, and he believed honestly that if the team of last year, with the assistance of a few coming youngsters, would keep toge- ther they would not be far from winning at least the second division trophy. (Hear, hear). Mr. Darbyshire went on to say that they got a great amount of support from their worthy President, which half the people in Amman- ford were not aware of. Mr. Hewlett had the welfare of the team at heart and every Monday mroning during the football season his query was, "How did the team happen to go on last Saturday, and on being assured that they had won again, as was generally the case, his remark was, I hope they will stick and win the blazers." (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, Mr. Darbyshire expressed the opinion that if the players stuck together the team of next season would be a better side than that of last season. (Applause). The Secretary (Mr. W. H. Jones), gave the toast of "The President," and said he did not know what the club would do without him and his good lieutenant, Mr. Darbyshire. (Cheers). He had promised the blazers, and was sorry that he did not give them. How- ever, he had given them something for the inside if not for the outside—(laughter and hear, hear)-and a function of that kind Could not be carried through without a great deal of expense. Whatever the Club asked Mr. Hewlett he was only too pleased to fall m with. (Hear, hear). His readiness in that connection made them sometimes feel that they were not asking him half enough. (Laughter). He had urged them to continue playing good football, and he (Mr. Jones) felt that if they did play clean sport they need not be ashamed whatever their record would be, and they could rely upon getting good support in the town. (Cheers). Mr. Ted Morgan, who also spoke, said he was sure that in the annals of football they would not find a team with such a good pre- sident. (Hear, hear). Whatever they asked him within reason he never refused, whatever the ca-use may be, but willingly put his hand in his pocket. He (Mr. Morgan) was sure that Mr. Hewlett would not 'support them but for the fact that they played clean and bright football, and it behoved the players to put forth all their endeavours with a view to winning those blazers he had promised them for the coming season. (Cheers). The toast was received in enthusiastic style, and with musical honours. Replying to the toast, Mr. Hewlett observed that he came to Ammanford in October, 1895, very nearly eighteen years ago, and he had barely been there a week when somebody came up asking for a donation for the Am- manford Football Club. He said that he was very glad to hear that there was a football club in Ammanford, as he was very keen on football and all other sport, and from that day to this he did not think his name had been missing from the subscription list. (Loud cheers). He was sorry to say that there were many people who had lived in Amman- ford since they first opened their eyes and first breathed fresh air, whose names were never to be seen on the list. Although the boys played such good football they never got annual subscriptions from many people who could well afford to subscribe. (Hear, hear). He did not want to slight or impute anything against anybody, but he would like to see a club which was working so hard, better sup- ported. He must impress upon them that the beginning of the season was the time to get them in their Itst. Of course he would like it to be understood that he belived in sup- porting all sports, all manly sports, every- thing that gave young men healthy, open-air exercise. (Hear, hear). There were many people who said that football ought never to be allowed; there were others who said that cricket ought never to be allowed—that every man's recreation ought to be learning how to shoot down somebody else. That was a very fine pastime too. (Laughter). He believed that every man, no matter how young he was or how old he was—until lie was blind he was never too old—should help to defend his coun- try. (Hear, hear). He wished to impress upon them that football was not everything. The Germans did not play football. (Laugh- ter). Proceeding, he urged the players to live good, clean lives. Unless they did that the game had failed to attain its object. He did not think they ever heard of the team being noisy, rowdy, or drunk. He was proud of it, and he was very pleased on looking round to see how many of them were teeto tallers. (Hear, hear). He was not a teetotal- dr himself by any means, but he would say that when he played football lie found that he could do it a good sight better without the aid of intoxicants. (Cheers). Again, he would thank them for so heartily receiving the toast, and he hoped they had had a good dinner. He had been to many of the club dinners, and did not think he had missed any unless he was away from home, and that was his own misfortune, but he would say that never had he enjoyed better than that night, when he knew they were all his guests. (Loud and continued applause). Other toasts followed. Mr. Handel Rich- ards gave "The Capfain and Vice-Captain," and Mr. D. Llan Evans responded; whilst the President proposed "The Committee and Secretary," and Mr. J. C. Shaw replied, urging the players to abide loyally by the decisions of their committee. During the evening a fine entertainment was contributed to by Messrs. Percy James, Tre- vor Evans, W. Benjamin, W. Roberts, Tom Williams, and T. F. Rees. r Three ringing cheers were given for the President and his good lady, and another three for Mr. Darbyshire, and the singing of the Welsh National Anthem, Mr. W. Roberts taking the solo, terminated the enjoyable pro- ceedings.

I AMMANFORD POLICE COURT. Friday.—Before Aid. W. N. Jones (in the chair), Mr. E. Hewlett, Dr. Lewis, Mr. W. Llewellyn, and Mr. Wm. Williams. THE THIRSTY ONES. Roger Williams, Pencae, Glanamman, having imbibed well but not wisely, was found by P.C. Phillips in Glanamman Vil- lage, using bad language and acting disor- derly. He had to pay the penalty—5s. and costs. Two brothers, Thomas and Patrick Hock, of Prospect-place, Garnant, were summoned bv P.C. Tudor, the former for drunkenness only, and the latter for disorderly conduct in addition. It was stated that Patrick was using threats towards his brother. Half-a- crown and costs was the fine imposed upon Thomas, but Patrick had to pay 5s. and costs. Lewis Geo. Davies, Belle Vue-terrace, Glanamman, and Geo. Stephenson, Ynys- domlyd, (Hanamman, admitted being drunk and disorderly in the "wee sma hours" of Sunday morning, the 13th ult., at Glanam- man, P.C. Phillips coming upon the scene. The constable stated they wanted to fight a young man named Hughes. Each had to pay 5s. and costs—16s. in all. N A plea of not guilty was made by Wm. John Rees, Penllyn, Tycroes, charged with being drunk in charge of a horse and car- riage. P.C. Williams, at 10.10 p.m. on the 1st ult., found him leading a horse attached to a spring carriage on the highway in Ty- croes Village without a light. Having spoken to him, he found he was staggering drunk, and gave charge of the horse to a man named Dan Thomas, who promised to take the de- fendant and the horse home.—Defend- ant (to Constable) You told me that I only smelt of drink -?-Constable I told you then you were drunk.—Defendant admitted that a man came on to him and offered to lead the horse. He was fined 2s. (id. and costs, and for the offence of driving the car- riage withou a light, in respect of which he was also summoned, he had to pay Is. and costs. John Thomas, Moelwvn-terrace, Garnant, made no appearance in answer to a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. P.S. Richards found him on Saturday evening, the 12th ult,, lying on a piece of waste ground abutting Station-road, Garnant, cursing and swearing. He was also drunk. A fine of 5s. and costs was made. "SPIN AFTER CHAPEL." I Two Llandebie young men, Dd. John Llewellyn, Piode Fawr, and John Jones, Cil- coll, were summoned for cycling without a light on Sunday night, the 20th. ult. Mr. J. W. Bishop, on their behalf, admitted the offence, and P. S. Davies spoke to seeing them riding on the Llandilo-road at 10.10 p.m. Jones told him they were very sorry, and that they had only gone for a spin after chapel. Mr. Bishop told the Bench hat both defend- ants, who were respectable men, were very sorry for the occurrence. What they told the sergeant was quite correct. Chairman So they had been to chapel? Mr. Bishop Yes. He suggested that under the circumstances a penalty be not inflicted. They were let off on payment of costs. P.C. Farrell summoned John Shanley, 2, Springfield-terrace, Llandebie, for a like of- fence, and defendant was let off on payment of costs. FURIOUS DRIVING. I A charge of driving furiously and to the danger of the public, was made against Wm. Evans, 10, Gorsddu-road, Penygroes. De- fendant did not appear, but the case was proceeded with in his absence. P.S. Davies stated that at mid-day on the 19th of last month, while near the Post Office, Llandebie, he saw the defendant driving a horse attached to a spring carriage at a furi- ous rate through the village. He was urging, the horse onward and the rate he was travel- ling at was fully from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. Chairman Do you mean to tell me that you have a horse at Llandebie to do that? Deputy Chief Constable Evans Not in Llandebie. TVis horse is from Penygroes. (Laughter). P.S. Davies I saw him on the 20th and told him that he would be reported, when he said, "WThoever will say that I was driving too fast will be telling a lie." By the Bench He could not account for the defendant's absence. He thought he had seen him outside the court. Thos. Bowen Davies, Llandebie. came for- ward to corroborate the evidence of the Police Sergeant. "He was going at a tremendous rate," witness added. Chairman You cannot say whether he was going fifteen or twenty miles an hour?- That I could not say, but I know very well that the horse could not go faster. The Bench fined defendant 5s. and costs. AFFILIATION. Maggie Edwards, 4, Old Company Row, Station-road, Brynamman, applied for an affi- liation order against D. J. Rees, Pedol House, Twyn, Garnant, a ifreman at the Gellvcei- drim Colliery.

| |Gorseinon Rioters Sentenced.
Gorseinon Rioters Sentenced. JUDGE'S CAUSTIC COMMENT AT THE ASSIZES. Lord Coleridge at Swansea Assizes on Thursday, concluded the hearing of charges arising out of the somewhat serious distur- bances that occurred at Gorseinon on May 24 last, when the police endeavoured to arrest a man named James Nolan. There were nine defendants, and they were charged with riotous assembly. In summing up, the Judge said he was surprised to learn it was habitual in the south of Gorseinon not to assist the police when they arrested a man who was drunk and disorderly, but to throw evpi-v obstacle in their path. If that was the attitude of Gorseinon people, he could only say it was deplorable there was only one man in the place who was prepared to assist the police, and that was David Morris. "All honour to him," he added. The jury found all the defendants guilty, except George Morgan, aged 38, a tinworker, who was acquitted. The sentences passed upon the others were as follows :—Thomas Harry, 30, collier, six months imprisonment; Harry Francis, 32, steel worker, four months Wm. John, 27, la- bourer, Griffith Thomas, 26, tailor, and Wm. Turner, 39, tinworker, six weeks each; Rich ard Morgan, 34, steelworker, George Roberts, 24, tinworker, and Didymus Evans, 22, tin- worker, each bound over.
An Ammanford Em= bezzlement…
An Ammanford Em= bezzlement Charge. I A PAINTER IN TROUBLE. At Ammanford, on Friday—before Ald. W. N. Jones and other justices-Sidney Snelling, painter, formerly residing at Talbot rc.ad, Ammanford, but now of Lough- r, was charged with embezzling the sum of lis. (id., the money of his employer, Barnet Shepherd, master decorator, College-street, Ammanford, and also with the larceny of certain tools. The charge of embezzlement was first pro- ceeded with. Mr. W. L. Smith, who appeared on behalf of the prosecution, said he might shortly men- tion that defendant was instructed by the prosecutor to have certain work done at the Colliers' Arms, Garnant. Defendant received lls. (mI. for the work, although he was not authorised to, and had not been seen by the prosecutor up to the present time. It had been ascertained that some of the tools which he also took had been pawned in a Swansea shop. Bamet Shepherd deposed that he had em- ployed defendant as a painter and paper- hanger off and on for the last two or three years. On April 25th, he sent him up to the Colliers' Arms, Garnant, to paper two bed- rooms and do certain other work, witness having made a contract with the licensee. He entrusted him with certain tools, but did not authorise him to receive any money. De- fendant did not pay any money over,- and absconded from the neighbourhood. Cross-examined by defendant He did not send him up to see what work was to be done, as he knew exactly what was wanted, although he had not seen the rooms. It was not necessary for him to see them. Defendant You sold the paper and that was all?—No. Mr. Davies paid extra for the paper and that would cover the paper hang- ing. Mr W. L. Smith As a matter of fact you have received payment from Mr. Davies sub- sequent to the issue of the warrant?—Yes. The-Clerk observed that he should not have acceffted payment under the circumstances. Defendant He owes me wages for a job done at Tirydail House—12s. lid. altogether. Witness I deny that. Defendant I never received a farthing for that job?—I paid you by the hour always. Abraham Davies, licensed victualler, spoke to giving Shepherd an order for the paper. No arrangement was made as to the paper- ing, only Shepherd said he knew a man out of work and would send him up. Defendant did not ask witness for any money, but be paid him according to the price Shepherd had said, and was given a receipt. He subse- quently paid Shepherd and told him to clear out. That was the following day. Chairman If -cii paid tis man 1"r the work to-day, why should y. u pay Mr Shep- herd to-morrow for the same work?-He sa.d it was not my business to pay him. He told me though that he would send a straight honest fellow up to do the work for Cd. a piece. Chairman At the same time I think you ought to have paid Mr. Shepiiiid if you were satisfied that there was a contract between him and this man. The Clerk said if was Mr Davies who should have prosecuted and ii t Mr Shepherd. The action of the latter in accepting pay ment laid him open to an action. Ultimately Mr. Smith intimated that, sub- ject to the approval of the Magistrates, he would withdraw the charge. Mr. Shepherd Can I say a few words ? Chairman No, no; you have placed your- self in your solicitor's hands. Mr. Smith said he would leave the case entirely in the hands of the Bench, but he thought when the warrant was issued that it was a case for investigation. Clerk (to Shepherd) Why did you accept the money from Davies when you knew he had paid your man?—It was due to me, and I wanted to prove to him that I was not the swindler lie called me. But you had no right to accept the money when you knew Davies had paid somebody else. You were guilty there of compounding a felony. The Bench dismissed the case. The charge of larceny of certain tools was next taken. Giving evidence again, Shepherd said he entrusted defendant with a papering brush and a scissors to do the work. They were not re- turned. He valued them at 7s. 6d. Defendant How long had I those tools in my possession before I went to the Colliers' Arms?—Whenever you did a job. I never made presents of tools. Apd have you paid me any of the money for the job I did at Tirydail House?—Don't you usually get the money ? Clerk Answer the question. Shepherd If I could look at my books I could tell you. Defendant If you look at your books I can tell you you did not. Shepherd I can't swear that I did, but it does not matter very much. Re-examined by Mr. Smith He identified other tools which belonged to him among those produced. They were a, new papering brush, value 5s. 6d.; putty knife, 6d., pincers, 9d., scraper, Is.; duster, Is. Cd.; screw driver, 2s. 6d., pasent nipper; Is. 6d., and brush, 9d. Chairman interposed that he understood the charge was in respect of the scissors and the papering brush only. Mr. Smith said lie would like to add to the list of tools alleged to have been stolen. Further questioned He sold tools similar to those produced, but he could swear they were his as he knew the maker's mark, and lie was the only one selling them in Amman- ford. Clerk But Ammanford is not the oniy place in the world. inspector Davies said defendant was in lus custody on the 30h ult., and he found .1 paw -ticket up-m hi III, He charged Iiir,, with the theft of a brush and scissors, and the delendant replied, "Mr. Shepherd gave m: t 1.. tools and I ii.-t et to go and do some work h him at GaTTI Llt. I went away and took the brush and to&sors with me and pledg d them with the other eight tools at Swansea. I left some brushes behind at the Colliers' Arms, Garnant ,for Mr. Shepherd." He sent the ticket to Swansea together with 4s. 7d. defendant had received for the tools,, and the tools were redeemed. That morning, aft-er Shepherd had identified the tools, witness cha.rged defendant with the theft of the other tools, and he replied, "They are mine, but the new papering brush is Mr. Shepherd's. Defendant, in reply to the charges of the larceny of the brush and scissors, said he had no intention of thieving. He told the Bench that he and a friend went down to Swansea, and, being stranded there, pledged the tools for safety more than anything else. The Chairman said theyTiad come to the conclusion that defendant wrongly took the articles from his employer. Trusting it would be a lesson to him, they would let him off under the First Offenders' Act on payment of costs— £ 1 Os. d. He was given a fortnight to pay.
! LLANDILO BOARD OF GUAR!…
LLANDILO BOARD OF GUAR- DIANS. SCHEME FOR ADMINISTRATION OF I RELIEF TO CASUALS. The fortnightly meeting of the Board was held at the Shire Hall on Saturday, Rev. J. were Messrs. J. Lewis (vice-cHairman), Wm. Williams, Dd. Davies, Evan Davies, Gomer Harries, D. W. Lewis, J. Bevan, Robt. Mat- thews, L. Bowen, Jacob Davies, L. N. Po- well, Rev. J. Edryd Jones, D. Glyn Jenkins, Arthur Williams, Wm. Roberts (Llanfynydd), D. Davies, W. Lewis, Evan Harries, J. Rich- ards, Dd. Thomas, J. Stephens, and J. Mor- gan also the Clerk (Mr. Shipley Lewis), De- puty Clerk (Mr. D. J. Morris), and other offi- 'cials. THE HOUSE. I The Master reported that the number of inmates in the house during the fortnight was 58 against 45 for the corresponding period of last year. The number of vagrants relieved during the fortnight was 77 as against 143 last vear. NEW MEMBER. The Chairman welcomed Mr. D. Glyn Jen- I kins, the new member for the Parish of Bettws, who succeeds the late Colonel Morris. I THE INFIRMARY. I On the motion of Mr. Robt. Matthews, it was decided to advertise for a Clerk of the Works for the erection of the proposed work- house infirmary, applicants to state their qualifications and wages required. Mr. Evan Jones said it was time they con- sidered the question of the heating, lighting, and the drainage of the infirmary, and on the motion of Mr. Arthur Williams, these ques- tions were referred to the Infirmary Commit- tee. TREASURER. Applications for the post of treasurer to the Union were received from the following local banks :—Capital and Counties, London and Provincial, National and Provincial, Lloyds, and the London City and Midland. Lloyds Bank were the former bankers. Mr. Wm. Roberts moved that Lloyds Bank be re-ap- pointed, and after some discussion this was carried. RELIEF TO CASUALS. Mr. J. Lewis (Ammanford), moved, in ac- cordance with his notice of motion "That this Union hereby resolves to join with the other Unions of the three counties of West Wales in forming a scheme for the adminis- tration of relief to casuals." In doing so, Mr. Lewis said that the object of the move- ment was threefold-firstly, to assist the gen- uine working man who was in search of work; secondly, to check the professional tramp; and thirdly, to educate and warn the public by means of posters, leaflets, and other litera- ture. not to be gulled to help the tramp who lives for the sake of tramping, and who likes everything except work. How would the gen- uine working man be helped? By establish- ing bicad stations at distances of not less than six miles from the workhouse he has left, and the Master of the house would give him a ticket which entitles him to ilb. of bread and 2oz. of cheese at that station or shop. A!sc he would be detained for one night only, and would be given no task to perform the fol- lowing morning, but allowed to leave after his. breakfast. Mr. Lewis went on to show how professional tramping would be disoir- agfl by the estal);,shing of bread stations and detention for two nights at the work- I-, Ilse. The profesii jnal tramp disliked that. and avoided workhouses where the Casual P(L Law Act of 1892 was carried out. He would also be given plenty of work whilst in the workhouse. Instances were given where th-i system worked veil and where the number of tramps, as a result, had been greatly i duced. It was antic pated that with the eo ol,eration of all the. other unions the scheme would be a great success. The help of the police would be asked for, and the Chief Con st: le would be a member of the Joint Com mittee. The cost of the scheme would only be one hundred and twentieth of a penny in tile p.- mid. Mr Wm. Williams seconded the motioi, and Messrs. Arthur Williams, Gomer Harr is and L. N. Powell supported. After M < i.p'.vis had replied t, questions from vario-u tiiciiil ers, the motion was put to the meeti ig and unanimously carried. Mtbs's. J. Lewis r.nd Wm. Williams wci" elected to represent the Llandilo Union on cLt, C .nmittee.
