DEATH OF MRS. D. RICH
AT THE CfTY- HOSPITAL
One of Winston-Salem's Popular
and Active Christian -Work
( ' ers Passes Away.
la the death of Mrs. D. Rich, which
occurred at the City hospital at an
early hour Monday morning, there has
been thrown over this city and sec
tion a deep sorrow, and its shadows
will spread thruout the" State. . Mrs,
Rich entered the hospital for an op
eration several days' ago, the opera
tion having been performed on Tues
day of last week. From her bedside
following the operation Came the In
formation that she waa steadily re
covering, and she had announced to
her friends 'who visited her that she
expected to return to. her home on
Sunday On Thursday there was a
change for the worse and a second op
eration was performed on Friday but
all that medical .science and surgery
could do was of no avail.
: In the .death of Mrs. Rich, the com
munity has suffered a great shock,
and the church, not only in. Winston
Salem but the Baptist denomination
thruout the. State, has lost one of its
most active, and - constructive work
ers. Early in life she Joined the Bap
tist church, 'and from , the beginning
has been active and enthusiastic in
it work. Active in the Sunday school,
in' the Ladies' Aid and Woman's Mis
sionary Societies, and leader in - the
organization of the Young Woman's
Auxiliary, of which she was president,
her influence .has permeated every
branch of the church's strongest or
ganizations for promotion of its work.
In the various missions established
in' every section of the city by the
First Baptist church she has . taken
an active interest, and tho many of
them have become self-sustaining with
leaders within their own congress
tidn, these leaders have always found
an interested adviser In Mrs. Rich,
In her death the denomination in the
city has lost a valued friend and ad
viser, one upon whom they could' al
ways rely for support in every good
move. Besides aiding in directing
work of the various organizations at
the -First Church, Mrs. Rich wa
teacher of the Fidelia class In the
Sunday school. .
tMrs. - Rich was vice " president of
the Baptist Woman's Missionary
Union of North Carolina, and was
a member of -the - special committee
appointed.by the central committee at
Raleigh to arrange for the entertain
ment of the State meeting of that or
ganization which is to be held in
this city In March of this year.
In every good civic movement Mrs.
Rich was always among the most ac
tively interested. Relentlessly she
has -worked for the development ot
the Young Woman's , Christian Asso
ciation in this city, and at the time of
her death was president, having dur
ing her administration seen plans per
fected for the erection of a handsome
home for this organization, the plans
for which have been completed, and
which is to be erected in the spring.
Her home life was that of a conse
crated Christian and it was here that
her friends knew her best, and loved
her most. Her death ' Is a distinct
loss to the social life of the city.
Mrs. Rich was a daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Watklns,
formerly of this city, - but late or
Clemmons. Twenty-eeven years ago
on : the eighth day of January she
was married to Mr. D- Rich, and since
that time they have maintained thelt
residence in .this city. Besides Mr.
Rich she is survived by one brother,
Mr. P. C. Watklns, of Clemmons, and
three sisters, Mrs. E. F. Coble, Mrs.
W.'J. Conrad and Mrs. J. F. Jeffreys.
The funeral will be conducted from
the First 'Baptist Church Tuesday aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock by H. A.
Brown. The members of the'Fldells
Class and the Young Woman's Aux
iliary will act as flower-bearers. k

WILLASK GOV. CRAIG
Neither the county officials nor the
counsel for Mrs. Ida Ball Warren and
Samuel Christy have as yet received
any official notice of the decis
ion of the supreme court in their case
which was heard o,n appeal at the
December term, the decision having
been rendered last week. Both Jones
& Clement, representing Mrs. War
ren, and Fred M. Parrigh, represent
tag Christy, have signified their in
tention of making a further fight for
the lives of their clients. Since the
aotion of tho court there has been
much discussion of the question of
commuting the death sentenoe to lite
Imprisonment, and there are many
who not only advocate Governor
Craig interfering with the execution,
but Insist that the next session -ot
the legislature ehould sound the death
knell of capital punishment in North
Carolina.
It Is expected that within the' next
few days petitions will be circulat
ed asking for commutation at the
hands of Governor Craig, and several
professional men tave sl'gnlfled their
wtlllnig-nesa to sign. One promi
nent citizen stated that i( he did Dot
oppose capital punisnment He would
do opposea to the execution of
woman, especially . one : who could
proDawy exert an influence for good
among tne prisoners at the State pen
itentiary. This statement was made
following the declaration bv CftDt
Austin, of the Salvation Army, that
Mrs. Warren was converted about
the first of October, and that ber con
duct since that time had been such as
to warrant the assertion that she has
experienced a complete chanee of
Hie. " ' ; . -.'
In discussing this phase of the nris
oners, Capt. Austin believes that Mrs.
Warren would be a power for good in
the State's prison, she having already
emonstratea in is fact thru her in-
noence over the prisoners in the For
syth county Jail where she has been
confined elnce the death sentence was
passed and pending the final disposi
tion of her case by the supreme
court.
Caut. Austin states that the Salva
tion Army would like to add North
Carolina to the list of 22 states in
which that organization maintains , a
post among the prisoners In the peni
tentiaries, and it Is understood that
it was for this purpose that Major
Cowan planned several months asro to
visit North Carolina this month. Cant.
Austin states that he believes both
Mrs. Warren and Christy could ren
der valuable service to the prisoners,
practically demonstrating to those
wno are confined for a term of years
what the religion of Christ can do for
erring-men and women. In one of
the Sunday meetings held at the jail
by: the Salvation Army, and when the
meeting was opened for testimony.
Mrs. Warren expressed her prepared
ness to die, but declared that it took
a great deal to bring her face to face
with her Master. She regretted that
her life had been spent as it had
been, and begged her fellow" prison
ers, who would soon be released to go-
about the world as they willed, to
pray for guidance, battle against
temptations that beset them and
Others to Christ. Deenlarir&cTeurbut
firm in her toneMrffe regretted that
he had such little time left in whldh
to labor for her Saviour.
The Salvation Army held an inter
esting Bervlce at - the jail ; again on
Sunday, in fact regular services are
held each, Sunday, one for the male
and another tor tie female ' prison
ers. Sheriff Flynt ' states that the
Army has and is doing a great work
among the prisoners in Forsyth coun
ty.; .
