The investments are of a market- able value in excess of the amounts standing in the Balance sheet. The Premises, owing to amounts written off from time to time, stand, we believe, at far less than their value, and the fittings and furniture have been wholly written off. The pro- vision for Bad and Doubtful Debts and Contingencies largely exceeds the amount esti- mated to be at present required. The Officers' Pension and Gratuity Fund, amounting to £161,295 0s id is included with the Current Deposit and other Accounts. Subject to these remarks, in our opinion the Balance Sheet is properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the Company's affairs as shown by the Books of the Company.

THE COUNTY COUNCIL.
THE COUNTY COUNCIL. There were several matters of extreme im- portance brought forward at the meeting of the County Council on Wednesday. To begin with, the chief administrative body in the county showed its detestation of the horrible crime which has shocked the whole world, and the sympathetic expressions to which the Chairman, and Sir Charles Philipps gave utter- ance will find an echo in every heart in Pem brokeshire. The election of an alderman to fill the place vacated by the lamented death of the Rev. James Phillips, resulted in the Squire of Llwyngwair being elected by a majority of six votes over Mr. Thomas, of Bicton. There was an interesting discussion upon the main roads of the county, and a general feeling that the present haphazard system of doles and sub- sidies ought to be superseded by increasing the mileage of main roads, and gradually bringing their control anu maintenance into the hands of a central body. Col. Ivor Philipps' scheme, as originally devised, appeared to press hardly on urban districts, but inasmuch as its author disclaims all idea of pressing it forward in its entirety, and only claims to have suggested a posible basis, there seems a reasonable chance of a working scheme being evolved in the very near future. The cost of our present super- vision of deep sea fishing led to an interesting discussion, and Sir Charles Philipps announced that it is probable the maintenance of a costly patrol boat may be shifted from local to im- perial shoulders. There seems to be a general consensus of opinion that the present patrol boat, the "Maritana," is a "white elephant," costly and nearly useless. In that case the sooner some fresh arrangement is made and the better. Another matter, which hardly received the attention it deserved, was the question of the medical inspection of school children. It is now the law of the land that this shall -be done, but the Council hardly seemed to re- gard the Act as sufficiently serious to merit preparation for enforcing its provisions. An- other Act, which came into operation on Jan. 1st, the Small Holdings Act, was mucn more seriously considered. A strong committee has been appointed to put its provisions into prac- tice. Indeed, the Council had no alternative, for had they declined the work would have been put into the hands of a Commission. It is an Act of great importance to this County. Whether it can be worked smoothly or not in Pembrokeshire remains to be seen. 'mere can be no question but that it has awakened great expectations. Our columns, for some weeks past, have testified to that; and applications for Small Holdings are being received numer- ously. As our report elsewhere indicates, the necessary forms of application will soon be in the possession of all assistant overseers throughout the county, or they may be obtained from Mr. W. Davies George, the clerk to the County Council, Haverfordwest. Agriculture is still our staple industry, and if this Act will benefit our county industry we ought to strive to give it a fair and impartial tri. L
NAVAL AND MILITARY NOTES.
NAVAL AND MILITARY NOTES. Capt. R. A. Nevill, 1st (Pembrokeshire) V.B. Welsh Regiment at Haverfordwest, has left the service. He has held a commission in the corps for seven years, having been appointed second-lieutenant in December, 1900, and was promoted to the rank of captain in the corps in September, 1901. As a company commander Capt. Nevill was a very painstaking officer, and regret is felt by all the members of his com- pany that he has severed his connection with it. Col. Lewis has retired from the command of the 3rd V.B. Welsh Regiment, and he was a very old Volunteer officer, for he was appointed lieutenant in 1873, and became lieutenant- colonel as far back as December, 1885, being appointed lieutenant-colonel commandant of the corps in January, 1902. Colonel A. P. James has been appointed lieutenant-colonel commandant of the 3rd V.B. Welsh Regiment in succession to Col. Lewis; while Major and Hon. Lieut.-Col. Vaughan will be promoted substantive lieutenant-colonel, and will become second-in-command of the battalion. As at present arranged, the Pembroke Artil- lery Militia, and also the other artillery militia corps affiliated to the Welsh coast defence area at Pembroke Dock, will this year, as usual, come up for the annual training in the forts at Milford Haven, though, as was the case last year, they will train for a reduced period. No official announcement has yet been made as to when the Pembrokeshire Corps of Militia Gunners will assemble for the annual train- ing. As already indicated, the Pembrokeshire a.s well as other artillery militia corps in this district will be converted into units of the Royal Artillery reserve, but this will not be done until after the training. At the latter men will be invited to serve under the new conditions, and those who join the new Royal Artillery Reserve will be entitled to a bonus of £2. Men who decline to join will either take their discharge or remain to complete their term of service as militiamen, but will not, after this year, be called out for the annual training. It is stated ti.at under the new system, in addition to the Pembroke Militia Artillery, the Cardigan Artillery, the Carmarthen Artillery, and probably also the Glamorgan Artillery Mili- tia, will all have their headquarters at Milford Haven, these corps being under the commander of the Welsh Coast Defence area at Pembroke Dock. Capt. Algar Howard, of the Carmarthen Ar- tillery, belonging to the Welsh Coast Defence area at Pembroke Dock, has left the service. He joined the corps in January, 1900, reaching the rank of captain in May, 1903. In a month or two Capt. Foster, R.M.A., will complete his term of service as adjutant of the Carmarthen Militia Artillery, and Capt. Manley will also complete his term of service as ad- r jutant of the Cardigan Artillery. Surgeon-Colonel Hill, senior medical officer of the South Wales Border Volunteer Infantiy Brigade, will, it is notified, lJe appointed principal medical officer of the proposed Welsh Territorial division, which will include units of the Territorial force raised in Pembrokeshire. Brigade-Surgeon Lieut.-Col. Downing, of the Welsh Bearer Company, and senior medical officer of the Welsh Volunteer Infantry Bri- gade, of which the 1st (Pembrokeshire) V.B. Welsh Regiment forms part, will also be senior medical officer of a Territorial Brigade of the Welsh division. Mr. T. G. Simpson, chief boatman of the Coastguard, has been appointed to do duty in the Welsh Coastguard district. Capt. the Hon. A. G. Hardinge will to-day (Saturday) take over command of the first-class cruiser Donegal. He will replace Capt. Tower, who will take over command of the first-class battleship London, while Capt. Story, on trans- fer from the London, will take over command of the first-class battleship Conopus, which is to join the Mediterranean fleet. Rear-Admiral Cross, who was lately in com- mand of the Portsmouth Division of the Home fleet, has been appointed admiral superinten- dent of Devonport Dockyard. »
OLD AGE PENSIONS.
OLD AGE PENSIONS. Once again this much debated question is again to the front, and various opinions are being expressed as to the feasibility of the scheme, where the money shall come from, at what age a person shall be considered eligible, and other matters connected with the ques- tion. It is not within our province to discuss the scheme as a whole, but we are interested in a class of men whom we should like to see in receipt of pensions when they are old and unable to work. We refer to the community of steady-going farm labourers who toil all their lives for wages which do not allow much margin for saving, and when they get old and infirm they are dependent on the generosity of their employers or the support of the rate- payers. The idea of the workhouse is distaste- ful to these men, and wi commend the rpirit, for the word pauper sticks in the throat of every self-respecting person; but our old labourers are not extravagant fellows, and only a small pension would be needed to supply their wants. Agriculture is not so dead to sen- timent as some other industries, and many a farmer keeps on labourers when they are too old to be of any use, purely out of generosity and kindly fellow feeling, but this is charity, and old age pensions would do away with the necessity of it.

COUNTY NOTtS. Swansea has failed to sustain the charge of preferential rates for ^iiiford fish they brought against the G.W.R. it was an extraordinary charge to bring, bccause it is so extremely unlikely that any well conducted railway com- pany would embark upon the suicidal po'icy of preference such as Swansea alleged. The fact is that Swansea, owing to its geographical posi- tion, was left off the main line when the rail- way was first constructed, and it can hardly be brought on the line without fatal delay to the long-distance traffic. We, in thf1 West, can afford to smile at the complacent way in which one of the judges reminded the Swansea people of the manifold "advantages" they possess over Milford. We can afford to let them hug them- selves over these "advantages," while we are satisfied to go our "ain gate," and put up with the "disadvantages" which have in a few years promoted Milford Haven to the position of the "Grimsby of the West." The writer had oc- casion to pass these "advantages" under review several years ago. when a line of trawlers was removed from Milford Haven to Swansea. For a time things looked black at Milford, but the check was only temporary, and the efforts it called forth soon equipped the port with a fleet of modern trawlers which to-day is unsurpassed in the United Kingdom, while Milford fish com- mands the top price in every market. These are solid facts which greatly outweigh any judge-made "advantages" possessed by either Swansea or any other port. IS "6' The terrible fate which befel an infant at Prendergast, pourtrayed in the story told in the coroner's court on Tuesday, is one which, happily, is as rare as it is appalling. A child under two years of age, in the absence of a half-imbecile elder sister, managed to set itself alight. The sister was away from her post or it could not have happened, and when acquaint- ed with her baby brother's awful plight seemed too dull-witted to know what to do. But sadder even than this was the shameful apathy shown by the neighbours. Even the most timid in the animal world will light to the death in defence of the young; but here we have three women "too frightened" to attempt to do the least thing in aid of a helpless infant! For an hour or thereabouts the child was left smoul- dering, until a lady who lived some distance away was made acquainted with the facts, and acted with promptitude. Unhappily her efforts were too late. All honour to Mrs. Emily Walker, who at least did all she could; but what of the young woman, aged 22, who, seeing the house full of smoke and the poor child burning, was "too frightened" to do anything, and the other two women who were "too frightened" to leave their homes? If they have any spark of human feeling they may be left to the reproaches of their own consciences. Our columns this week and last have shown what deep and sympathetic feelings have been evoked throughout the north of the county by the sad and untimely death of Mr. William Bennett Evans, of Llanwngar. Professor Young Evans has written such a beautiful apprecia- tion of the deceased gentleman that it is un necessary, even were we able, to add anything to his felicitous utterances. As the Professor so well remarks, "Men of his type are too rare in the administration of the affairs of parishes, of municipalities, and even of coun- tries." Caerfarchell has recently demonstrated that one of this rare type, who lived his life quietly and modestly amongst us, has now de- parted from among us. 1t 1t 1t After the powerful support given at the County Council to the claim made by Neyland for financial aid in carrying out the improve- ments upon the Beach Road, we may con- fidently expect that very substantial assistance will be given, and the excellent work begun by the Urban Council will be satisfactorily com- pleted. The improvement was a very necessary one, and the circumstances which have made this necessity pressing are such as call for substantial aid from the Admiralty. It is pretty generally agreed that the construction, of the Carr jetty, on the other side, has diverted the tide and caused it to wash away a good deal of the Hazelbeach side, where the War Office own the land. Between the Admiralty on the one hand and the War Office as owners on the other, it is certain that much of the wear and tear of the "road" ought to be made good. It would be hard lines if the poor rate- payers of Neyland should be left to bear the sole burden following acts over which they have had no control t 1t If a Sunday contemporary, a strong Unionist, is correctly informed, there is a "good time coming" for Pembroke Dockyard. We are told that the era of "cheese-paring" economies is past, and that we are to embark next year upon a building programme which will still keep us ahead in the silent struggle for sea power. It is fervently to be hoped that our contempor- ary is accurately informed, and that the policy set forth is about to be initiated. In saying this we are actuated not only by the desire to see our great Welsh Dockyard once more flour- ishing, but on the higher grounds of patriotism. Our very existence as an empire depends upon our being all-powerful at sea. Once we lost this, were every inhabitants of these islands a soldier and a marksman, we could be starved into surrender, while our brethren in greater Britain, would fall an easy prey to the Power which could bottle up our navy. The peace-at- any-price party will probably kick against a policy such as is foreshadowed, but if the Government is courageous enough to take the necessary steps to maintain our naval supre- macy, whatever the extremists may say or do, they will be backed up by the moderate men, to whatever party they belong. ir t t It really seems possible that ere long we may drop into the melting-pot a stereotyped line which has long done duty in reports of the proceedings of municipal business in the Dock- yard town. To wit "The question of Bush Hill again came up." For years now it has been "a standing dish," but now, apparently, every- one has got tired of the interminable strife, and found a common basis of agreemnt. The scheme has been modified, the contributory parties have increased their quotas towards the cost, and "the pre-dominant partner" has dropped the objection that the time was inoppor- tune, and consequently it seems as if the im provement will now be proceeded with by general consent. We are glad to know it. Bush Hill is the main and sole artery connec- ting Pembroke and Pembroke Dock, and it ought to be made at least, decently passable, and safe for pedestrians as well as vehicular traffic. Y T 1t It is anticipated that the Small Holdings and Allotments Act will greatly stimulate the home production of eggs and poultry..The value of such produce annually consumed in the United Kingdom is estimated at not far short of £20,000,000, and of this nearly one-half is imported from foreign countries and the Colo- nies. There is consequently ample room for development of the home industry, and we may reasonably look for such a result from the extension of small holding schemes. Combined or co-operative marketing is, however, essential to success, and it is the lack of organisation for this purpose that has hitherto placed the home producer at a disadvantage with his for- eign competitor. T 9 1 The Government, it is understood, will pro- duce some interesting reports regarding the working and results of old age pension schemes in the Colonies. New Zealand has had ten years' experience of old age pensions. Claim- ants must be sixty-five years of age, have re- sided twenty-five years continuously in New Zealand, and have an income from all sources of not more than £34, in order to claim the full pension of £26 a year. If they have privately more than £34, but less than £60 a year, they may claim any balance required to make it up to the full £60, In all cases claimants must be of fairly good character. Conditions vary somewhat in the Australian Colonies, but are much the same in New South Wales and Vic- toria as in New Zealand. It is only in Austra- lasia that there is afforded an example of the practical working of old age pensions, as we understand the term in this country. It is sometimes said that they have old age pensions in Belgium and Germany, but they are in both cases merely small Government grants or pre- miums to provident individuals.

ON THE SQUARE. From a letter in anoiI:er cohunn it will ba seen that we have laid ihe sins of 'T. M." somewhat unjustly upon t1;c; .-jli.riders of the author of the "Bapl ist Historical Sketches," who has, like all good historians, made little disgressive footnotes indicating the source of his information in each case. We have only to say that Mr. Roberts confuses the term, "Eng- lish name," with "Enph --h moaning." For instance, the English "name" 01 the town in which this paper is printed is Haverfordwest, but the English "mo;<nht £ of its "Welsh name (Hwlffordd) is quite different. Now we hold that no one would recognise "Treffgarne" in the form of "Cairnton," although the word "Cairnton" may correctly convey the meaning1 of the Welsh word "Trefgarn." It is also geographically inaccurate to put "Pebyddiog" in the "lower" part of the county, for as a matter of fact it is in the "upper," or north part of the county. The real culprit, however, is "T. M. the author whom Mr. Roberts quotes. Even the central luminary has its "spots," and the volume to which we referred is illuminating apart from such minor inac- curacies. Y The following extract from the "Bristol Times and Mirror," which was taken from the "Bristol Mirror," published January 23rd, 1808, will, we feel sure, be of much interest to our readers:—"Last week Lord Kensington enter- tained a gay and numerous party of fashion- ables at his delightful residence, Westmead, Pembrokeshire, when the proverbial hospitality of his family was most happily exemplified. His Lordship is a great patron of old British customs and athletic exercises, and among tt a many feats of strength and agility exhib: < I by his sportive friends, the one performed t.y Mr. Phelps deserves to be recorded. Mr. P. carried Lord Kensington, who weighs 17 stone, and ran 50 yards against Mr. W. H. Scourfield, who was to run 100 yards, for a considerable wager, which Mr. P. won with wonderful ease, to the astonishment of the spectators. Mr. P. is above five feet six inches high, and remark- ably slender." » 1t Our lady readers will be' surprised to hear that Madame Patti is not afraid of mice, as the following story of her adventure in a Phila- delphia hotel will show. Her maid was just arranging the bed for her when out from the sheets jumped half-a-dozen mice. The diva was not frightened. Indeed, she was rather amused, and threw some sweets on the floor so that her visitors might have supper. Then she went to bed and to sleep. In the early morning she was awakened by pain in her left ear, and putting up her hand she disturbed a mouse which had started biting her. For the next few days Patti's mishap, which happily had no serious results, was the talk of America, and she was bombarded by presents of all kinds of mouse-traps and vermin-killers. T "Ap Lino" had just put himself snug in bed one night when he saw that his wife being unusually wakeful, made herself comfortable in a chair under the gas-light to read the "County Guardian." "Ap Lino," being very tired and wishing that the light should be turned out, suddenly raised his head off the pillow and stared at that part of the floor on which his wife's feet rested. Sile immediately became concerned, and looking intently on the same spot anxiously inquired, "What is the matter?" "Ap Lino," affecting much indif- ference, answered, "Oh, nothing, I merely thought I saw something move." His wife said nothing, but in less than two minutes the light was out and she was tucked in bed. That was "Ap dodge of the mouse that wasn't there, which reminds us of a song's refrain, viz.— When a woman is uproarious And her tongue a bit censorious, Try the "wrinkle" of the mouse And have silence in the house. We read that the Attorney-General's salary is "only" £7,000 a year. Mr. S. T. Evans, M.P., who has just been appointed the successor of the late Sir J. Lawson Walton, K.C., has our sincerest sympathy. IT TT The late Attorney-General was once examin- ing a dealer in condensed milk, who seemed determined to tell as little as he could about the real facts of the case. "I believe you sell milk," said Sir John quietly. "I do," was the the reply. "Then, of course, you know some- thing about agriculture?" "No," replied the witness. "Oh," chimed in the barrister, "I see; you are one of those dealers who do not get their milk from agricultural sources." The court was convulsed and the unfortunate wit- ness reduced to despair. ? Mr. Roch, the young Cardigan solicitor, delivered an excellent speech at the Temper- ance Hall last week on the occasion of the holding of a conference to consider the Gov- ernment's prospective Licensing Bill. He is cultured in manner, his phrases are polished, and he is conciliatory in dealing with his opponents. Indeed, he might with advantage, perhaps, cultivate a little more firmness. On the occasion referred to we thought that in the afternoon's discussion he rather too readily compromised on matters which he himself ad- mitted involved important principles. With his "suaviter in modo," he ought to blend a little more "fortiter in re." But he is a charming speaker, and his style is more typical of the pulpit than of the political platform. ? ? Mrs. Herbert Lewis, the wife of the well- known M.P., is expected to speak at a meeting of the Girls' Guild to be held in Haverfordwest on February 28th next. Although an English lady she speaks Welsh fluently, and with her husband is a regular attendant at a Welsh Methodist chapel in Charing Cross. Mrs. Lewis, by the way, is a daughter of the late Mr. W. S. Caine, M.P. ir At a time of financial panic a minister once ventured to preach thereon. In a powerful discourse he urged economy and retrenchment on his congregation. In view of the hard times there should be no extravagance, no useless expenditure, he said, but every outgo ought to be pared down. His strong sermon had a swift and unexpected effect. The con- gregation held a church meeting, and unani- mously reduced the man's salary from £400 to £300. ? ? A clergyman in the Midlands, well known for his kindness to the genus tramp, had a. wooden building placed at the entrance to his grounds for their benefit, with a small loaf and a ug of water on the table inside. Re- cently, £ >n visiting the hut after one of these travellers had left, he found a portion of the loaf had been consumed and a penny left. A scrap of dirty paper placed under the latter set forth that the copper was "for a penn'orth of cheese for the next bloke." t A gentleman possesing much knowledge of human nature instructed his large family of daughters in the theory and practice of music. They were all observed to be exceedingly amia- able and happy. Inquiring if there was any secret in his mode of education, he replied, "When anything disturbs their temper I say to them, and if I hear them speak against any person, I call them to sing to me; and so they have sung away all causes of discontent and every disposition to scandal." ? ? f There is one lady, at any rate, who has solved the servant problem. She has three of them, and knows how to keep them. The se- cret of her success is to be found in the fact that she plays "bridge" with them every Mon- dav, and they owe her money. t t t "Will you have an American or an English set?" queried a dentist the other day of a lady who was having her mouth newly furnished. Her reply was, "I'll have an English set, please, as I so detest the American accent." "t The German Emperor when in England sent Miss Florence Nightingale some flowers as a token of esteem for the lady who "rendered such invaluable services to the cause of hu- manity during the Crimean war, and subse- quently founded a house for the training of nurses in England, which is justly considered to be a model institution of European fame." In thanking the Emperor Miss Nightingale said she recalled with deep gratitude the friendship and sympathy with which his Majesty's august mother, the late Empress, was pleased to honour her. AP LINO.
