There is considerable speculation
on the appointments "Uncle" ALI
Taylor will make when he gets into
the governors office. They say it is
his intention to give the State bust
ness administration administered by
Republicans only. The most impor-
atnt suggestions made so far are that
Gov. Taylor will appoint an ex-ser-
vice man acknowledgement, Capt. T.
F. Peck to the position of Commits
sioner of Agriculture (if Capt. Peck
will accept) and it may be possible
that the new governor will have his
own Democratic son, Ben, as his pri-
vate secretary. The Taylors are said
to have always provided one for the
other-but Uncle ALI, if that be SO
ought to break the record and put
none but Republicans on guard. Ben
Taylor has a good law practice in
Johnson City, where he is partner
of Thad Cox, a prominent Democrat
Going back to Capt. Peck, he is a fine
man and made the State under Gov
Hooper, one of the best Commission
ers of Agriculture we ever had
hence, we hope Gov. Taylor will offer
him the job and that he will accept
By the way, if Col. Taylor moves tc

Miss Mardiganian, who plays the
leading part is an Armenian girl, nst
yet arrived at the age Of womanhood,
who was daughter of prosperous
Armenian, living in a fertile valley
not far from Mt. Ararat at the time
the Turks decided to steal the lands
and property of the Armenians by
using the pretext that they were UNI
der Russian protection.
Miss Mardiganian, very pretty
girl, had been eyed for some time by
Turk who wished to marry her. This
man offered protection to her family
if her father would turn her over 10
him. The father refusal, and was
killed before the eyes of his daughter.
Her brothers and sisters were also
killed, and Miss Mardiganian was
driven from the city with thousands
of wretched, terrifiedrefugees who
were forced into the desert unprepar-
ed for the long tortuous trip which
followed.
In the course of the next eighteen
months every sort of indignity and
cruelty was visited upon the Armen-
ian girl and her faithful friend, Miss
Graham, young English mission
teacher who tried to save the Mardi-
ganian family and who cast her for
tunes with them when unable to do SO,
How the Armenians died of thirst
in the desert, were struck down by
brutal officers, We're forced to swim

and upon the report which was made
to the allied governments by Wis
count James Bryce, the Englishman
who was placed at the head of the
commission to investigate Miss Mar
diganian's. charges of Armenian atoc-
tiles.
Never has it been the fortune of a
girl to serve her own people as Au-
rora Mardiganian has done. For once
she told her story here to influential
people, its great lesson was seen, and
she was urged to do everything in her
power to impress the American mind
with its seriousness.
So, in addition to writing about her
experiences, and speaking Of them,
she went before the motion picture
camera and acted them once again,
that the sympathy of the hundred
million people in America might go
out to the greatest sufferers in human
history.
