DeiT 19. ? Christmas1 lights are shining brightly In l^ncaetor and many comments on tho lighting effects have been made. Tho premises of tho Pratt Simpson home near Elgin, on State highway 521. nas the prettiest Individual Christmas scene to bo found In this vicinity. It' Is a manger scene with shepherds,, wise men, sheep, camels, donkeys nndi cows and other effects which make it| appear strikingly beautiful at night.. All of these likenesses are life size. About the manger in which the Christ' child lies are Joseph and Mary. The | picture of Mary praying by the side of tho manger Is most Impressive To J 'the left is an old well which Is reminiscent of Biblical times. Near the well are the shepherds who are making their way toward Bethlehem and to the right of the manger are the^ wise mcfti. * t This Christmas pageant with its beautiful setting and Christmas carols is most complete. NO SENSE TO "COLD WEATHER j LET-DOWN FOR SOFT DRINKS 7 I Complaints about the "let-down so many people feel in the fall and winter will soon be a thing of the past, "according to M. B. Morrow, president of the Royal Crown Bottling Compa-; ny. "Drinking a good Cola drink like Royal Crown is no longer only a summer habit. People have learned ( a lot about tho particular benefits i of cola drinks .at this time of year."! Mr. Morrow Is not expressing a per-j aonal theory. His ideas backed up by known facts. A cola drink like Royal Crown is a definite source of quick energy. Be- j cause of Its carbonatlon, It aids diges-i ticn. The predigested sugars in it en- j ter the blood stream quickly, increasing circulation. Vitality is stepped up,! and the person's system Is better ableto start(f weather conditions which often lower resistance. i No medical claim, however, Is made for Royal Crown. He will go on selling it, says Mr. Morrow, as delightful. pleasant- tasting cola drink in the big twelve-ounce bottle Its finer flavor has been voted best in 9 out of in certified taste tests from coast to coast. Asked the reason for the tremendous sales increase registered by Royal Crown. Mr. Morrow attributed it to two factors. "Metier taste and more for your money," ho explained . "People around bore certalnlly like the Idea of getting two full glasses?twice as much- from the big twelve- ounce bottles that sells for only 5 cents plus tax ,pf one cents. And as soon, as they find out that the six-bottle!, homo carton will serve twelve, you ( can be mighty sure they're going to.j ask for Royal Crown every time Honor Roll Baron DeKalb The honor roll for the intermediate department and high school of the Baron DeKalb school for the* second^ six weeks period is as follows.

This department, for the past two yeaiH. haa boon yelling lor more ba*eball training camps in the state and it is gratifying to note that mora teams are recoguislniC the value of South Corolina at a training center. But in one respect we must confess we were in error. We yelled for more first class diamonds. The main dlffi- j oulty now seems to be lack of hotel .j accommodations rather than playing fields. ,< j The training file for the Birmingham Barons, for example, hung In the balance betwejsn Camden and Sumter | with Sumter getting .the call because of more convenient hotel accommodations. Camden could have cared for the. club, too. but It would hhve been necessary to split the squad up Into three or. four groups Vhlle Sumtor was able to take care of the housing In two4 hotels within a block of well 'Other. And It took some fancy stirring around for Marl Blue and Frank Lane lust week to take care of arrange- j meats Tor the Columbia and Durham clubs to train here, too. It wound up with the squads scattered among at least four hotels. No oue-^-or two hotels could care for the whole orowd. And training camps are still good Industries for a town. With approximately 80 players, coaches and managers stationed in Columbia for some three weeks, you can figure a daili expenditure by the clubs alone of $240. That amounts to a little better that $5,000 in three weeks of "new money", not to mention the fact that the players themselves will he spending some money every day they a?e here. It .doesn't cost the city a thing. Sumter will have approximately 45 players and coaches,there, which will send nearly $4,000 into the Oamecock city. Aiken will also benefit similarly aa will Ware $hdals and possibly several other towns and dltles. So now it has boiled down to a question of a place to put the player^ Baseball men, apparanetly, are "sold" an South Carolina as a training center and all that Is needed is a place to . put them.?Abe Fenuell In Columbia State. _ .
