NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM CLEMSON COLLEGE.
! (By E. D. Plowden.)

Clemson College, Nov. 14.-Last
week Mr.. D. III. Henry President Of
the athletic association, mailed a
check to the Near East Relief Fund
For $603.32 as Clemso1's gift to the
people in the Near East. This was a
gift from the corps of Cadets and
their plan was adopted by Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, and many, other large
colleges all over the country. The
plan was hailed by many people all
over the country and scores of news
papers carried the headlines "Nobly
Done, Clemson" One paper said
"Clemson's splendid example should
be followed by every college student
body in the republic" Another pro-
minent paper stated: "If all the other
higher institutions Of learning would
give as Clemson has given, vast
sum would be, quickly raised for the
postrate millions of the Near East"
Latest reports from the bedside of
Capt. Lee are to the. effect that he
is improving rapidly and we hope that
our injured officer will soon be up
again. 1t seems that an old negro
drove his buggy from behind screen
of shfubbery ONO the road. 1t was
impossible to have seen the buggy,
and when it was driven across the
road, as it was, it was inevitable that
an accident of some kind take place.
Captain Lee could have run over the
buggy without much danger to him
self or to his car, but he chose to sac
rifice himself and his car instead. 1t
was the buggy or the tree, and he
chose the tree. Captain Lee is smil-
ing and cheerful in spite of the fact
that he will have to give up the work
which he loves and which he is best
fitted to do. He will not be able to
resume his station in the army.
Work on the Radio Broadcasting
station is progressing rapidly. The
large steel towers are now up and
work on the equipment house has be-
gun, although no broadcasting has
been done yet, it is hoped that the
equipment will soon arrive and broad
casting can begin.
On Thursday and Friday of last
week several members of the cLgisla-
ture visited Clemson and inspected
all parts of the college and it's acti-
vities. On Friday morning the Facul-
ty and Student body were given an
address by Hon. Crossnor of Lecsville,

AMERICAN AFFAIRS OF
SOUTH CAROLINA

(By Ben Adams, Charleston)
Legion posts in all sections of the
State observed Armistice Day this
year. This day is meaning more and
more to the American people as we
leave the war behind. Legion men
everywhere look to the day as the
time to pay homage to the memory
of thocs who did not come back, and
as time to renew their dntcrmina-
ton to see that the disabled men arc
taken care Of.
Governor Harvey's proclamation de-
claring Armisticc Day a holiday was
gratifying to the members of the
American Legion in South Carolina.
Former service men want the Ameri-
can people to take more interest in
the anniversary of the closing of the
war land will welcome their co-opera-
ton in properly observing Armistice
Day.
