STARVED WOMEN
fight FOR WORK
Near East Relief Worker Writes
To Georgia Of Conditions In
Armenia

ATLANTA, March 11.-"If YOU
were hungry, and had been hungry
for months, and your children were
nearly naked, and half starved,
wouldn't you, if you heard of a job,
fight for it," So asks Miss Pauline
Jordan, Near East Relief worker.
And she tells in a letter to Henry B.
Kennedy, Atlanta banker, just how
horde of women in Alexandropol,
Armenia, answered that question
when news went around in the Ar
menian city that the Near East Relief
was about to open sewing shop Mr..
Kennedy is Georgia chairman for
Near East Relief which has under
taken the support of several thousand
orphans in famine-stricken Armenia
and contributions are being sent to
400 Georgia Savings Bank building
in Atlanta.
Miss Jordan, in her letter to Mr..
Kennedy, says:
Before day-break an excited
SloNu Hllcu Che SCfeeI. WHen got
off my horse, was nearly torn to
bits. The women threw themselves
on their knees, clutched at my skirts,
kissed my hands and with tears
rolling down their cheeks, begged for
work. Finally two of our militia
came out and dragged me by main
force through the crowd and into the
shop.
"We are making 5000 mattresses,
10000 sheets and everything else
underwear, dresses, coats-in proper
ton, to take care of the 5000 child
ren for whom hospital is being
equipped.
"The workers sit on the floor,
stuffing the mattress sacks they have
made with native wool, nicely washed
and pulled, next sewing up the ends,
and then stabbing through the stuff
ed sacks with needles eight inches to
quilt them. Bundles of rags, they
rock back and forth at their work,
slow, patient, Eastern. Sometimes
they fold their hands and gaze into
space, until the sharp voice of the
manager calls them back to work.
"Not always, though is the shop
quiet. The other day was sitting on
table, giving some orders about
dresses, when the oil-lamp suspended
from the ceiling began to sway There
was frightened murmur all over the
room, and a sudden rush for the door.
The table on which was sitting rose
and fell like ship in rough sea.
Earthquake! Earthquaken ev-
cry one cried. One woman tainted. 1t |
lasted only a few seconds, but made |
me feel bit seasick.
There is plenty of work for these
women until spring, and then the
majority of them will be able to find
work in the fields. BY that time the
hospital will be fully equipped, and
able to carry on with the help of the |
orphan girls"
Rev. H. T. Brookshire is chairman
of the Sumter county division on
Near East Relief, which has been
assigned a quota of 81 orphans and
will undertake to raise 1920.

Mr.. Tate. is one of Ohio County's s
most energetic and deserving young
men and is popular with large
circle of friends. He served
throughout the World War. both at

was one of the leading aspirants
for the nomination for County

MAROONED IN HEADwATER

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Tate and son,
Glenn, had quite a trying and ex-
citing experience Friday night when
they were marooned for over seven
hours on the DUPONT Highway a
Short distance from Simmons, this
county, by the rapidly rising head
water due to the extremely heavy
rainfall of the preceding forty-eight
hours Mr.. Tate and family had
driven his brother, Mr.. James Tate,
and Mrs. Tate to the home of the
latter at Rockport in the late after
noon and we're on their return to
Hartford about o'clock when they
reached short stretch of levee
Just this side of Simmons. The
roadway was covered with water so
that Mr.. Tate could not distinctly
make out the position of the usual
track. resulting in his driving his
car too far to one side. Too late
he found that he was stalled; he
could neither advance nor retreat
and one side of the car was almost
submerged. Due to the continued
inclemency OF the weather and the
-pitch-darkness there was nothing
for it but to make the best of an
unpleasant situation and spend the
night in the ear. The water rose
another foot or more during the
night and finally got up six or eight
inches ON the brake-lever. but Mr..
Tate and family managed to keer
reasonably dry until daylight when
they waded out to dry land la

morning accommodation train to

the scene OF the night vigil that af.
ternoon and exiricated his car. find
