HORRORS IX ARMENIA.
Starving People Eat Flesh of Their
Dead.
? New York, Jan. 23.?A cablegram
was received by the Hon. Henry Mor
geutbau, former United States Am
. baSsador to Turicey. from relief work
; "ers in Armenia, telling of conditions
in that country that are so'horrible
as to be unprintable.
'Thousands of children are starving
: and dying for want of the bare ne
cessities of life each day, and I have
seen mothers so crazed from hunger
nhat they would eat the flesh from the
bodies of their own children who
had died of starvation."
?Reports: from every part, of the
country where campaigns are being
conducted \to raise money for relief
of; these people indicate that sub
scriptions are generous," said L-. A.
Cooper, Southern Division Director of
the Armenian-Syrian Relief Commit
tee, Many counties and cities have
voluntarily raised their quotas.
^Because of the reappearance of
the... Spanish influenza, -and local con
ditions the drive has been postponed
in.many counties, but we feel assur
ed'.that as soon as conditions will
permit the campaign to be put on.
the ?outh, with a hundred per cent
record in all war charities will not
fall down on this, one of humanity's
.most, distressed calls for assistance.
I. -don't think that American, mothers
and fathers, knowing that there are
thousands of children dying of star
vation, can look ..on their own little
ones and refuse to give to this worthy
cause."

Pinchot Scores Penrcse
Republican Boss Alleged to H :?;>
resent AH That is Svii in
Politics.
Philadelphia. Jan. J7.?The follow
ing open letter to Senator Pen rose
was made public today by Gilford
Pinchot, the former Foil Moose
leader:
There is a matter of great import
ance to the Republican party to
which I would like to direct your at
tention. Before doing: so. 1 want to
recall that I ran against you for the
United States senate in 1914, and
was beaten. I had no complaint to
make at the time, and I have none
now. I mention it merely because
(iure will be a tendency on the part
of certain persons to attribute this
Lietter to disappointment or spite, i
[can assure you honestly that it has
nothing 10 do with cither.
Someone, however, ought i<> take
j ;ho burden ?f Writing you this letter.
[In the absence of any sign th:ii some
j one else is going to do it. i have de
j-cided to assume the duty and write it
myself.
i TJko millions of other Republicans.
I I am anxious to see the Democrats
-beaten in 1920. Like them. I see in
{the possibility of your election to the
[^chairmanship of the senate committee
j on finance one of the principal ob
stacles iii the way of such a victory.
It is w<dl known that the Mj<
i West will east the deciding vote i i
\ the next presidential election. The
j ivliddle West know? you maud is the
! most perfect living rersresontai iv-e of
the worst type of politics in America.

GAMDEN DAIRY FARM.

(Camden Chronicle.)
The large Guignard plantation for
medly known as the SmyrI place, just
on the otuskirts of Camden, is being'
changed into a dairy farm. One large >
barn, measuring two hundred feet in j
length and capable of housing a large
herd of cattle has already been com-'
pleted and two others of a like size'
will he erected at once.
This farm comprises eleven hun- ?
dred acres of swamp and upland and
posesses unlimited grazing facilities.'
Til;- new concern will-be incorporated
at $100.000 and. will bear the name
"Camden Dairy and Livestock Com-'
pany." Messrs. G. A. Guignard and I
J. A. Sbanklin, both of Columbia, are f
the prime movers, and -Mr. Shanklin.

most modern conveniences, such as j
waterworks and electric lights, and j
will be of cement foundation with j
proper drainage to keep it at all <

Pensions for Veterans.
'.Editor The Daily Item:
My attention has been called td
the item over Capt. E. Scott Carson^S
signature stating that I had refused
to support a proposed bill to increase
the pensions for NEEDY Confederate
Veterans.
For several years past there has
been before the General Assembly a
bill to give pensions to ALL Confed
erate veterans regardless of whether
they needed it or not, and this was
the measure which I understood Capt.,
Carson asked me to support.
The pension appropriation now
amounts in round figures to $300,000,
and with the schools of the State and
many other worthy causes crying for
more funds for their support, I do*
not favor giving pensions to veterans
not in actual need of the aid.
I do however favor giving just as
large a pension fund for the aid of
NEEDY Confederate Veterans as the
State can reasonably provide.
I have not replied to the card soon
er. because I did not wish to do Capt.;
Carson an injustice, and he tells me
he intended to ask only for increased
aid for NEEDY Confederate Veterans.
I understood him to ask for increas
ed pensions for ALL Confederate Vet- i
erans, and this accounts for the mis- ;|?
j understanding as to the matter.
I As far as support of NEEDY Vet?
: erans we are in accord.

Pisgah News Notes.
Pisgah. Jan. '2o.?The warm weath
er has hindered hog killing. We are
lafraid to kill hogs when the weather
is so changeable. Hope we will have
some cold so we can butcher.
The oats are killed out a good deal.
Farm labor is scarce and high. A'
proed deal of it is contaminated by
i the negro soldiers who seem to he
; profuse in lying about many things.
They ought to be made to go to wortt'
; and quit loafing.
The. slump in cotton is hurting the
farmers. What the remedy is I can't
see. Lor every plan proposed seems td
? ; a failure. Warehousing and hold
. ing cotton don't seem to hold the,
price up for downward it goes.
