HILL . his own observations , this charity was being Mr. John Davies , of Alton - street , presid - sidered they had no right to give the £ 1 to administered properly , except that he con- ed at the Brotherhood on Sunday last , when the Secondary School Library . If this the address was given by Mr. Arthur Hill . money had been voted to boys or girls who The speaker chose as his subject , The Two had won these scholarships , he did not think D's , " basing his remarks on Acte , chap . 19 , Mr. Llewellyn had much cause of complaint , verses 23-28 , and II . Tim . 4 , verse 10 , and only that he was out - voted by the other spoke of the relation of the Demetrius and Demas spirit to the present age . He opened with a descriptive account of the social and religious condition of Ephesus , as witnessed by St. Paul , especially emphasising the de- pravity and superstition of the people , re- sulting from their worship of Artemis . Al though in a position of great peril , the apostle had fearlessly denounced this idola- trustees . Mr. BAILEY : Mr. Llewellyn must get the other trustees to come to his way of think- ing The discussion then dropped . Mr. BAILEY reported that two children from the rural parish had been elected to the Walter Scott's School . The CLERK also made a report on the try , consequently incurring the fierce op - progress of the Prince of Wales , Fund . position of Demetrius and his followers . It was the cry of vested interests , and as they read the history of the nations , they saw how that whenever there was a movement our abroad to remove some known and glaring injustice , this same form of opposition had had to be contended with . It was so to- day . Whilst Russia had astonished the world by the abolition of alcoholic intoxi- canta , we in England had been " on knees " for years , craving that one day in seven , and that the sacred day of God . might be made free from its influences . And what could they say of the peace of the Sabbath being disturbed by the publishing of Sunday newspapers ? Surely , it was an insult to God that so many people could not trust the Hand that guided our national affairs even from Saturday night to Monday morning . In conclusion , the speaker urged that all present should stand with faith and courage for the ideals they held , lest , whilst professing to know the truth ; their love of the present world should lead them to for- sake the truth . Mr. Hill was cordially thanked for his outspoken address ; also Mr. D. R. Nicholas , B.A. , who presided at the harmonium in the absence of Mr. Greenhill . The speaker next Sunday will be Mr. A. E. Mogg , who has promised to bring a quartet party . This meeting will be held from 2.30 to 3.20 p.m. , and is open to ladies . Ross County Court . This Court was held at the Town Hall on Saturday last , when the only case that came before the Judge was an application under the Workmen's Compensation Act , 1906 . THE LOSS OF AN ARM AND COM- PENSATION . Thomas Albert Powell and William Thorpe , executors to the late John Smith , of Fel- hampton Farm , Upton Bishop , v . Thomas , Colwell , labour , Bumford Cottages , Upton Bishop . This was an application under the Workmens Compensation Act , 1906 , for ar- bitration with respect to review , termina- tion , or redemption of weekly payment . Mr. J. Kelly , solicitor , Ross , appeared for applicants , and Mr. W. Thorpe , solicitor , Ross , was for the respondent . Mr. Kelly said this was an application by the executors of the late Mr. John Smith , who was a farmer residing at Felhampton , Upton Bishop , in whose employment Thomas Colwell was at the time of the accident , which occurred five years ago , for the pay- ment of a lump sum and redemption of the weekly payment . Colwell was carting in the parish of Weston - under - Penyard when he slipped and fell under the cart , with the result that his left wrist was crushed and subsequently his left arm had to be ampu- tated just below the shoulder . Since then Ross Rural Parish Council . and up to February last Colwell had been DISCUSSION ON ROSS CHARITIES . An ordinary meeting of this authority was held at Union Offices , Ross , on Friday night last , when Mr. F. S. Collins ( Chair- man ) presided . Others present were Mr. J. F. Davies , Mr. H. Llewellyn , Mr. H. Drew , Mr. J. Bailey , Mr. S. Smith , with Mr. H. W. Awre ( Clerk ) . BRITISH AND FOREIGN CHARITY SCHEME . The CLERK read a letter from the Board of Education ( in reply to one sent by the Council after their last meeting ) advising the Council that the scheme for this charity had been confirmed , and that nothing further could be done in the matter . The CHAIRMAN said at their last meet ing the Council did not see their way to support the scheme under the rules which at present prevailed , for it was contended that the children residing in the rural dis- trict were scarcely eligible , to enter for the scholarships to the Ross Secondary School , under the provisions by which 25 per cent . of the scholars could obtain admittance to the school . The Board of Education point- etc. receiving half wages , 8s . 6d . per week , and for about two years he had been working for Mr. Douglas Lane , of Upton Bishop , earning at the rate of 9s . per week . In February last application was made to this Court for a reduction in the payment of 8s . 6d . , and this was brought down to 6s . per week , which Colwell was now receiving . Accord- ing to the present scale the sum to be paid into Court worked out at £ 177 10s . 3d . , and the Insurance Company were prepared , to pay that sum into Court or as his Honour might decide . His Honour : The ouestion is whether his incapacity is permanent ? Mr. Thorpe : As one of the applicant's my position is purely a nominal one . Mr. Kelly said that Dr. Campbell , who at tended the man , had gained a commission in the R.A.M.C. , and could not he present , but Dr. Bulloch , his locum tenens . had examined the man that morning , and would state as fo the man's general health . His Honour said it would be very diffi- cult for a doctor who had only examined a his condition was staple or not . He would man once and that morning to say whether be . only too pleased to hear Dr. Bulloch . Dr. O. H. Bulloch said he had taken over the practice of Dr. Campbell for the time ed ont that the children in the Rural dis - being . Thomas Colwell had been to him that trict could still obtain a benefit under para - morning for examination as to his general graphs B. and C. , which paragraphs dealt state of health . As regarded his general with the payment of fees , costs of books , condition , the man was in good health . As Mr. Bailey brought this matter for for his arm , Colwell did not complain , but ward , and he did not know whether he would said that he did certain amount of care to make any remarks on the subject , work and could drive a plough , while he now it had been finally dealt with . had walked a distance of three miles that morning , and he did not suffer in conse- quence . Mr. BAILEY said the reason he brought this matter forward was because he thought the Rural parish of Ross was treated very badly indeed . He quite believed it would be a hopeless task to get it altered , but at present there were children living in the out parish who had not the chance to con- test for these prizes , which they as money prizes . Several people said that the money was spent in sweets or that the parents kept it . If the children won these prizes , then the money could be spent on clothes for the children when they needed it , and if parents did not do that sort of thing , then they were not worthy to be called parents , after the children had won the prizes . He also thought that Walter Scott's School was also left out in the cold in this matter . He did not think the scheme ought to have been altered as it had heen . If they had left the Secondary School out , it would have been a different thing . He did not know who framed the scheme , but it seemed to him that it was done to get hold of the money in order to help the Secondary School children , and that other children were harred , no matter how good a child might be . They could not help themselves , and the only thing they now had to do was to appoint a representative . The CHAIRMAN said they were entitled to appoint one trustee , and he was going to suggest Mr. Henry Blake , whose revered uncle was closely connected with this charity . rustee . M a His left leg was a little smaller , but he could not say whether that was the result of the accident or not . Whether the wasting of the leg would grow worse he was unable to say . His Honour : Can you give me your opin- ion as to the wasting of the left leg and the earning capacity of the man . Dr. Bulloch said the only thing that bothered him was the wasting of this leg , and if it continued the earning capacity of the man would certainly diminish . He saw no reason why it should go on wasting . As for the arm , there was always a tenderness with any amputated limb . Cars THE Carriages Cycles Phone 23 .
