?_ ?? Shows Confederates Tortured By Socks Were corns and blisters among the hardships suffered by the Confederate army during the War between the States ? If they weren't, they should have been, if accounts of the method of sock manufacture then in existence can be believed. According to Mrs. Luther J. Burriss, in a thesis entitled "Manufacture in South Carolina during the Confederate War," this was how socks were made: "They were made by cutting the required length off of a long knitted piece of goods that looked like a rubber hose. Then the heel was let in it and the toes drawn together and hemmed at the top. The factory was enlarged by several hundred hands in 1864." Calhoun Statesmanship Rewarded By Friends An interesting story in the life of John C. Calhoun, which later determined the selection of a site for Clemson College was recently told by a University professor. In order to show their appreciation for the statesmanship of John C. Calhoun, who had become indebted through devoting so much of his time to the interest of the nation, many people throughout the South raised $20,000 to be given to him. While methods were being devised whereby the money could be presented to him without embarrassment, the great statesman died. The money, which was then presented to his widow, was used to pay off the mortgage on his estate, upon which Clemson College was later founded. U. 0. o.
