But the psalmist is sure that in the end the patient labors of God’s people will bear fruit. “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” (vs. 5) This great declaration of hope vras literally fulfilled. For the tears shed at the time the founda tions of the new temple were laid were accompanied by shouts of joy.

The announcement by Senator James F. Byrnes, of South Carolina, that ten million dollars additional would be allocated for the Santee- Cooper hydro electric and naviga tion project by President Roosevelt means that work on the great South Carolina undertaking on the part of the federal government will proceed. Already five hundred thousand dollars have been made available for preliminary surveys and other expense incident to the beginning of work. The Santee- Cooper is going to cost a total of something like thirty-seven million dollars, provide enormous quanti ties of electricity for the coastal 3ection of South Carolina and pro vide a nine-foot channel in the Congaree river up to Columbia. It will require several years to com plete and furnish employment for many thousands of men. The Chronicle feels that the gressional consent. Harllee formerly was chief of staff of the Haitian Gendarmerie, a military and police force of na tives headed by Marine Corps of ficers, and maintained after the Marine Corps evacuated the is land a year ago. The award was made for his service in this field. It was the first presentation of its kind to one of the former mili tary occupants of the island, offi cials said, since Haiti regained its independence after reiterated de mands from island factions for the removal of the Marines. Harllee left Haiti in 1927 after a clash with General John H. Russell of the Marine Corps, then American high commissioner in Haiti, over the commissioner’s order to deport United States Sen ator William H. King, of Utah, an opponent of armed intervention there. A commission appointed by President Hooyer investigated conditions in the island and Gen eral Russell* was transferred else where. Harllee was retired from active duty last June 30 and has an nounced his candidacy for the United States senate for the seat now held by Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina.
