Lord Rosebery Ironical
Lord Rosebery bas made a com-
plaint about the condition of the Ro-
man road, an ancient bridle road near
his home at the Durdans, Epsom.
Writing to the Epsom Rural District
Council he said: "I have a great re-
spect for the ancient Romans; but
they must have been an even more
remarkable race than they are reputed
if they were able to make use of this
road in anytbing like its actual con -
(Mien."
Found Unconscious
Constable Gwilym Jenkins and
David Thomas, a farmer, were found
unconscious on the road near Carmar-

kins, who is stationed at Llanarthney,

III -paid Pastors
The Rev. Morgan Price, Chwilog,
speaking at Portrnadoc in support of
the movement to ensure a minimum
wage of $400 a year to Welsh Con-
• gregational pastors, said there was a
danger of Welsh Congregational
churches losing some of their best
ministers unless a living whge was
guaranteed. As one who had at one
• time worked in the collieries, he might
say that boys of fourteen or fifteen
years of age working in the collieries
were earning more wages than a good
number of Welsh Congregational pas-
tors.
Hoodwinking Poor People
At Llanrwst County Court Judge
Moss 'exhibited a blue paper, and said
a tradesman had sent it to a debtor.
On the top of the form in large type
evere the words: "County Courts—For
,the recovery of debts as per Act of
Parliament," thus giving ignorant
-persons the impression that it eman-
ated from the county court direct.
,This was a very serious offence, and
[he, would punish very severely per -
,sons guilty of using such forms. It
was threatening the court itself. If
ehie method of hoodwinking pooil
people was not stopped he would have
,to send the guilty persons to prisOil,

tinct waves. Many citizens left their
homes and took their children some
distance away from all buildings for
