him to act as water boy. When he
shouts “Water” the little dog grabs
the jug and comes running. Not only
does he bring the jug, but, according
to Mai, he takes the stopper out for
him!
STUDENTS ARE ‘WARNED’
Advice Given to Future Army Offi
cers by The Tiger
Clemson students, all second lieu
tenants of the future this week read
in their newspaper, The Tiger, some
thing about the office they would
fill in the army.
In the way of advice to the men
who would be under them, the
Tiger said: “Whatever you do, don’t
forget to salute a secondl lieuten
ant. You can be late to reville,
AWOL over Sunday and noisy in
chapel; but if you prize your liberty
don’t forget to salute a second lieu
tenant. You can chew tobacco on
parade, drop your gun at drill, step-
on a sergeant’s toes, spit in a cor
poral’s eye and still survive to brag
about it in the canteen . . . but
don’t forget to salute a secondi lieu
tenant.
“ . . . A second lieutenant is too
high in rank to be a soldier, too low
to be an officer; his antecedents are
doubtful, his future obscure; his
duties are a mystery and his pre
rogatives few. But of all the crea
tures that infest the army scene he
is the most hardboiled, parboiled,
petrified and crystalized. Don’t for
get to salute him.”

ONLY HUNGARY PAYS ANY
ON WAR DEBT
Washington, Dec. 16.—The World
war debts came due again today, but
only Hungary paid, and she did not
pay in full.
For the first time, Finland was
absent from the pay window, avail
ing herself of a special act of con
gress authorizing her to skip the
payment in view of her heavy war
losses.
Great Britain not only failed to
pay the $127,670,765 principal and
interest installment due today, but
was dickering with the cashier
with a view to obtaining more
money.
Hungary, which has made a prac
tice in recent years of paying only
a portion of the installments due,
transmitted $9,828 of the $52,770
due today. Only one other country
currently is paying. Greece makes
token remittances, but her bill does
not come due until January 1.
The United States, it was disclos
ed at the state department, did
not send the usual duns this month
to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,
Baltic countries which have come
under the domination of Soviet Rus
sia. The omission was attributed
to “current governmental conditions”
in those countries.
Similiarly, Czechoslovakia has been
lost for some time, because she has
been occupied by Germany.
Altogether, $186,834,588 was due
today from thirteen nations; Belgium
Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Finland.
France, Great Britain, Hungary,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
Rumania and Jugoslavia.
Direct debts of all foreign gov
ernments to the United States
treasury, not counting debts owed
the Export-Import bank, were $14,-
732,841,239.
Supervisor Ruff has been trying for
some years to have constructed a
building of this sort, and although it
will not be finished 1 before he goes
out of office it will be credited to his
administration.
Negro prisoners are now crowded
into a steel cage at night with no
sanitary facilities. The supervisor
has lorg deplored this condition which
borders on the inhuman, but it has
been only within recent months that
he has been successful in obtaining
funds. While the delegation has al
ways been in favor of a new stockade
other calls have taken precedence.
CAMPS MUST PAY CIGARETTE,
SOFT DRINK AND BEER TAX
Columbia, Dec. 18.—The South
Carolina Tax Commission ruled to
day that cigarettes, soft drinks, beer
and other items sold in post ex
changes on military and naval reser
vations in South Carolina were tax
able by the state.
Chairman W. G. Query said the
ruling represented the commission’s
interpretation of a recent congres
sional act dealing with the taxing
right of a state.
The commission also held that in
comes of army and navy men sta
tioned in South Carolina were tax
able .under the state’s income tax
laws.
The commission planned to make
effective at all post exchanges on
army and navy reservations the
regular state sales and use taxes on
tobacco products, soft drinks, and
beer. The rulings held that post ex
changes were not instrumentalities
of the army or navy but of their
personnel.

Scores of Workers
To Get Camp Jobs
Spartanburg, Dec. 18.—Clearing
skies and the subsequent drying out
of the land site at the Spartanburg
cantonment was the signal yester
day for major operations to begin,
and throughout the day much progress
was made in all camp areas.
Employment of 10,000 men within
the next three weeks is the plan of
the contractors,. it was learned. The
men, depending upon the rate of
arrival of necessary material, are to
be hired at a rate of between 400 and
1,000 men per day. More than 1,200
were at work yesterday.
That the employment program was
going ahead at accelarated pitch
Tyas evident from the hundreds of men
who were gathered during the day
around the cantonment field employ
ment office, awaiting the interviews
which must be had before being sign
ed on for duty.
Materials Arriving Fast
Materials are now arriving at the
rate of about 40 carloads a day and
will be stepped up within the next
several days. During the day, work
was completed on the construction
of 12 temporary buildings in various
regimental areas.
For the first time since the camp
construction started, men worked on
a 24 hour shift in one of the sections,
the headquarters area where offices
were being rushed 1 to completion for
the constructing quartermasters’ staff
and the camp commander, Col. Louis
A. Hunzig. Major N. R. McKay ex
pects to move his headquarters from
the Montgomery building to the
camp today.
Under the terms of the contract
which was signed by the ’city coun
cil and the county delegation, under
which the government is purchasing
20,000 acres in the Delmar section as
the camp site, 2,000 acres passed , in
to government hands immediately.
Because of this, workers yesterday
started the demolition of several
houses in the area, formerly owned
and tenanted by farmers. In only
one case was any inconvenience
caused. In this one case, a farmer
who had gone to bed Monday night
was suddenly awakened by daylight
yesterday morning to find that naif
of his roof had been removed by the
workmen.
This incident gave rise to an or
der by the contractors disallowing the
workmen to demolish any occupied
buildings until the owners have been
given diue notice to move.
Temporary roads to all of the reg
imental areas in the camp were start
ed yesterday, graders being followed
by trucks from which many tons of
crushed stone were poured to serve
as a foundation in unfavorable weath
er. A temporary warehouse for stor
ing vast quantities of materials was
also started.
The first aid emergency hospital
for workmen was completed during
the day, and a doctor and two nurses
are on constant duty at the canton
ment to administer treatment to any
of the workers who may become in
jured during their work.
With The Sick
R. G. Reagin returned Tuesday from
the Providence hospital in Columbia
where he has been a patient for the
past two months.
Mrs. Verona Dominick is recovering
from several days illness at the home
of her son, Pinckney Abrams on Wal
nut street.
ST. PHILIPS ITEMS
(By G. HAMP RUFF)
Sunday school and church services
will be held at St. Philips at the us
ual hours Sunday morning, conducted
by our pastor, Rev. Emmett Roof.
The ladies are now very busy
planning for Christmas, baking their
fruit cakes, etc. The first to light
up their Christmas trees were Miss
Sara Banks on December 11, and Miss
Ruby Ruff on December 14. It seems
to me people do not have the Christ
mas spirit as they should, and they
do not take much interest in decorat
ing for the season.
The Dutch Weather prophet calls
for a snowy Christmas. I hope he is
mistaken.
The farmers have a nice stand of
grain and the crops should be fine if
the weather does not become too
severe.
I wish everyone a very Merry
Christmas.
(The editor would like to add a
Merry Christmas wish to its faithful
St. Philips correspondent, and all its
readers there.)
DOWN MEMORY
LANE
20 YEARS AGO
A nice house warming took place
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock
at the new residence of Mr. and Mrs.
F. P. DeVore, in the den opposite the
little flower garden fronting the home
of Dr. and Mrs. C. D. Weeks. The
ladies gathering there made hot cho
colate and sandiwiches and each lady
gave a present. The following were
present on the happy occasion. Mes-

Are the movies vile? queries and
exchange. No, “only man is vile.”—
Anderson Mail.
The citizens of Anderson have held
a meeting and have petitioned the
Yegislature to keep down tax burden
the coming session, and protested
against.the approximation of the ap
propriation as submitted by the bud
get committee of $10,000,000. For the
appropriation bill to leap at the rate
of three million and more the year is
making pretty good juhmps, and in
these times of stress and financial
stringency it is best to go slow and
not make any but the really necessary
appropriations. Take off some of the
State Board and Committees and
Supervisors of various departments,
and many things which seem small in
themselves but in the aggregate
amount to a pretty big sum might be
taken off during this time of getting
settled down to normalcy.
Mr. Abe Vigodsky arrived last week
from Yale, where he is studying law.
He will spend the holidays here with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. Vigod
sky.
