Affairs

Aiken, S. c., Feb. 5.-More light on
the methods employed to investigate
the assault upon Mrs. Frederick O.
Beach was thrown during the exam-
ination of prosecutions witnesses at
the morning session of the Beach trial
today.
Mayor Herbert E. Gyles, of Aiken,
occupied the witness chair during the
greater part of the session. He told
of numerous conferences with the
Beaches, one with Mrs. Beach within
a few days after the assault. He
said Mrs. Beach was still in bed suffer-
ing from the effects of the wound
in her throat, but that she answered
questions freely and made some sug-
gestions
The witness admitted that Beach
gave him every assistance, and pro-
posed the employment of a negro de-
tective to assist the white detective.
engaged on the case, sending him a
check for the purpose. The mayor
said the money was never used.
On the night of the assault. Beach
told Rural Policeman Holly, accord
ing to the testimony of the latter to-,
day, that Mrs. Beach had lost pair
of treasured earrings valued at $4,000
or $4,000. Subsequently the earrings
were found in the side yard of the
Beach home, and turned over }
the mayor, who examined them and
declared that in his opinion they were

Beach's diamond studded pen knife
was an object of much interest, and
close scrutiny b. the jury when It
was offered in evidence.
Mayor Gyles said Beach gave it TO
him on request, about three weeks af-
ter the assault, and that later he
turned it over to DR.. d. Hastings
Wyman, Jr., for microscopic examine
ton
DR.. Wyman testified that he ha /
examined the knife under a glass ani
had discovered what he believed TO
be bloodstains, This view was sus-
tanned, he said, by the opinion of Dr..
Boydon Minis, an analyst of Column
bia, to whom he submitted the knife.

CHAUTAUQUA FOR AMERICUS

AS was shown in yesterdays issue
of the Times-Recorder Americas Will
have this year a chautauqua that Will
do honor to the city and section. 1t =
believed that in the choice of the
chautauqua as made by the ladies Of
the Hospital association the very
best talent obtainable here has been
secured
The features that are to be given to
the people of Americas under this
splendid chautauqua arrangement are
to be broad and inclusive in nature,
and the promise of the chautauqua bd-
reau that has secured the contract is
that the attractions sent to Americas
will be the same as those sent to
nearly hundred other cities through
out the nation, Birmingham among
the number, which have secured the
services of the bureau also.
Success has crowned the efforts Of
those here who feel san interest in
securing a chautauqua for Americ is
which will be worthy one and which
will perpetuate the chautauqua idea
here in a manner which will make il
permanently helpful and desirable.
The purpose of the ladies of the Hos
pital association has been to secure
the very best chautauqua given in
Georgia. second none in the entire
state and superior by far to those Civ
en- in this immediate territory for
years.
The list of features on the chautau-
qua program indicate that the week ot
entertainment here will be worth
while with such attractions as the
Ben Greet players in Shakespearean
drama, Joseph w. Folk, Adam Bede
and other attractions of similar ma
ture, combined with musical numbers
that bring to Americas the Thomas
Orchestra of Chicago and other at
fractions that are recognized as being
of the very highest class. This is a
program that should challenge the
support of every friend of the hospital
and of clean, wholesome entertain
ment.
The ladies of the Hospital associa-
ton are to be congratulated on secur-
ing a reputable series of entertain
ments of this kind, which stand out so
sharply in contrast with the tawdry,
worthless carnival which appeare l
here last fall under the auspices OF
that worthy association. The class OF
entertainment afforded by the chat
tauqua ard its general influence for
good should enlist the support of ev-
cry citizen of Americas for the cause
of the Hospital, which the ladies have
championed so persistently and so eff
fectively If the people of Americas
and this entire section give deserved
support to the movement for this
high-class chautauqua, it cannot fail
to meet with success. The Times-Re
corder gladly offers its services to
the ladies of the Hospital association
to give aid to this movement for the
sake of the Hospital and for the moral
and educational good that may be ac-
complished

Uanta Wilson Smith,
Over a winding wayside wall,
Ragged, and rough, and gray,
There crept a tende" and clinging
vine,
Tireless day by day.
AT last its mantle of softest tint
Covered each jagged seam;
The struggling wall, half broken
down,
Became, with that leafy, tinted crown
Fair as an artists dream.
Oh for the kindness that clings and
twines
Over lies broken wall,
That blossoms above the scars Of
pain,
Striving to hide them all
Oh for the helpful, ministering hands
Beneficent, willin feet
That spread rich nantes of tender
thought
Der hfe's hard places, till Time has
wrought
It's healing divine, complete.
