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.

sibly to secure the help of other .\t

I will."

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

Despite the rain which began early
Saturday and continued all morn?

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.
