BEACH WOULD FACE TRIAL says in WILL itFTTUN FROM i;t itopi: NKXT WEEK, Mayor OykSS Ghrf* Positive Assur tJjM of Thl?*?Attorneys for Ac? cused Make Statement. AiM*n, April IL'.?-That Frederick O. Reach, accused of cutting Mis. h's throat and now under bond on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, is anxious that the i harge hanging over him come to its final settlement is indicated by a telegram recei\ed from him in Paris. The cablegram to his Aiken lawyers, the Hendersons, reads; "Am returning next week. Have trial goon as possible." Plans are making for a legal battle, which promises to be the most inter? esting proceedings ever held in the Aiken court house. Today Reach's lawyers began lay? ing the ground work of the defense they srll] make to refute the evidence gathered by Raughn, the special agent. T. S. Kuller of the New York firm of Nlcols, Anable, Lindsay and Fuller, who have been retuined by Mr. Reach, came to Alken and held a conference with I >. S. Henderson of he Hendersons, who, with J. B. Sallcy, were retained by Mr. Reach a few days after the attack was made upon Mrs. Reach and before Reach was accused of the crime. Mr. Hen? derson and Mr. Fuller were together for some time. In an Interview Mr. Ful'er stated that he has come down to get a line on the situation in or? der that there may be better co-opera? tion between the Alken and the New York lawyers, adding that when the ca*?e comes up for trial his firm will be represented here. Mr. Henderson, who Issued a state? ment yesterday, said today that the charge against Reach was worked up by Baughn. who sought the reward. Asked directly whether Baughn was employed by the city of Alken to make the Investigation. Mr. Hender? son said he was not; that Raughn was working on his own Initiative. Mayor Oyles, when questioned along the ' same line, stated positively that the [city had employed Raughn and that ? council held an executive session af I ter Its last meeting Monday night to l?a\ him for his services rendered. |BoHcUc Ounter v?.rlfi??l fb<~ ?tnte inent t at Baughn uiiih h< re. at the Iftggant of Mayor Oyles, who is M|.

WAS II t. HEAD OF AMERICAN RED Cltoss DEAD, Por Almost ;;<? Yours Head of Socio? y ami Previous to That Prominent in BniQrTOlenoBi Washington. April IS,?Miss ClAia Barton, foundtr of the American Had Cross and probably the moist widely known American woman of her day, died Jit her home, "Hed Cross," in Olan BORO, Md., this morning at 9 o'clock. She was 90 years old. Miss Carton suffered an attack of pneumonia in February, 1911. had a relapae and the disease became Chronic, Muscular weakness of the heart developed and for weeks the condition of the venerable nurse had been grave. Her bright mind was i'ti dlmlnlehed almost to the last. With her when the end came were her nephew, Stephen P>arton, of Boston and I>r. J. B, Hubbell. , The great regret of Miss Barton**! last months was that her enfeebled condition made it necessary for her to suspend work upon her autobiography. She bad brought this work down only to the beginning of her public career as a nurse in the War Between the Sections. The last years of the great Red doss nurse had been spent in retire? ment. She retired from the presi? dency in 1904 and since that time had had no affiliation with the organiza? tion of which she previously had heon the head since its establishment, through her efforts, somewhat more than :t0 years ago. Miss Carton will be buried where she was horn, on the sloping of the little cemetery. in Oxford, Mass., with father and mother, brothers and sisters, she will he laid to her long rest. Weaning Children. Madam, do you not wish that heaven had made you such a woman las is described by Mrs. Cora Harris, I the Circuit Cider s Wife? She has at? tracted much Attention by her stories. In a Nashville paper appeared an obi* uary notice of a friend from her pen. She said: "She was a gentle woman who will find herself very much at home in heaven, She had a spirit which ele Ivated rn?re mannen into t aiities oi (love and klndneSS, and iht had thai [rarest gift In a Christian, fh<* power; t< make piety an enohantment for* those about her. she was a mother who never weaned her children, but nurtured them to the last with cour? age and peace, she had a vocation for making a home that was a haven and she had a genius for hospitality, especially to strangers, so grave in its Simplicity, so warm even in its si? lence, that such an one was forced to feel her expectations of the 'angel un? awares.' l'ew women ever gave more that was good and asked or expected les< of the world. She found in her? self, her charity and her faith, all con tctitment. She made a laurel wreath Of her years and never suspected her distinction." A little exhortation on one expres? sion in this tribute may help other mothers and give them inspiration to continue the care of the children long after they have put on long clothes. "She was a mother who never weaned her children." Too many mothers, as soon as the child ceases to draw its nourishment from the breast, turn the child over to nur9es and let It go on the streets or where it pleases. They seem to think that the weaning pro? cess relieves them of much care and responsibility. It is an inspiring sight to see a young man or woman who has never been weaned, but they continue loyal in affection and it gives them greatest pleasure to nestle close to that mother who Is all in all to them. Then when a little sickness comes, or trouble makes the heart sore, it is a great pleasure to draw close to the mother's bottom again and receive comfort and love akin to divine love, for it is the name kind. Tb.- mother watches the grown-up children and she is ready to catch them when tiny stumble and to pick them up when they fall, Thai boy, now a man, may come In, nil stained and polluted with tilth and friends may turn from him. but this mother In road) to t kt! hnn back and Set him on his feel again. He Is -till an un? weaned cl lid lo her. ?Carolina sp:i rtan, The officials of the r I?. met the committee of Camp IMuk Anderson Krida) afternoon it the (nurl house io talk over tin arrangements i-u the dinner lo be given the veterans on \i i \ 10th, The prellmln tries were snttsfat tori!) attended In and Ihe I tough tern will Invite each veteran I?) i i rd whose mime und address the) ? an obtain and they will be disap pointed If a lull attendance is not on hand.

Despite the rain which began early Saturday and continued all morn? ing In a continual downpour there were a large crowd of children and grown people at the court house that ' I morning to take part in the various exercises and contests to he held dur? ing the day. The contests were begun shortly af- ' ter half past ten o'clock and were continued all morning up to dinner time when they were practically com? pleted. There were a number of children present for each of the con? tests and they seemed to take much interest in the competitions with the ' pupils of other schools. The oratori? cal contest called for much applause as each orator delivered his declama? tion and took his seat among his friends, in the declamations which were delivered there were many old favorites which were heard with pleasure by the grown up people. The committees in charge of the various contests had their hands full all Of the time getting the children together for the contests and seeing them complete the examinations. Mr. YV. M. Scott was master of ceremonies and made the various announcements and introduced the speakers. The committee in charge of the dinner had a great deal of trouble getting tablet to hold all of the dinner which was brought In from all sides, but the tables from various of the county offlcet were brought into use and the committee did the best they could under the circumstances. Din? ner was served about 2 o'clock and was much enjoyed by the hungry Children and grown up folks. The tablet which Mr. Wilder had spent all of Friday In erecting on the grunds could not be used owing to the rain. There were a large number of ex? hibits which were brought in by the children and placed on the table where everybody could view them. Man) of them were very fine ex? amples of cooking sent in by the girls and some of the hoe handles, single-trees and other articles made by the boys were st rror?d as those sold from hard*.are stores.
