Somewhere in the beginning of the
Bible it is said that “darkness brood
ed over the earth.” How true that is
today! Whether it be darkness Ttom
the lack of sunshine or darkness as a
result of the evil souls of men, it is,
nevertheless, darkness — depressing
daikness such as comes on a cloudy
winter day when a mist is falling.
There is light aplenty; light in the
laughter of little children; light in
the smile of saintly mothers; light
in the fellowship of men—if, if only
the pall of darkness rise and let the
light thru.
Two thousand) years ago a great
light came to the world and that light
still shines. When the din of war
is over it will be there, as true and
as steadfast as love itself. Wars
come and wars go but the light of
love and brotherhood and justice can
not be stamped out by war’s ruth
lessness. Mankind has nad a glimpse
of the true way of life, and hope
against a more perfect day will
abide, no matter how dark the scene,
becomes. No matter how many lose
faith, there will always be those
whose faith cannot be shaken.
And though darkness broods over
•the earth today, we approach a sea
son when the reservoirs of faith can
be refilled; a Short season when man
kind seems to be drawn closer to the
'ideal. That this spirit is only pass
ing is sad indeed, but the faithful re
joice to see even a fleeting display
of the better side of mankind.
Yes, the picture this Christmas is
a <^rk one, but we are not as those
without hope. The principles of
Christianity will prevail when man
finally learns that it is only upon
those principles that the great maj
ority of mankind wants to live, or
can live, in peace.
MAY BUY POWER COMPANIES
Columbia, Dec 20.—Governor Bur
net R. Maybank announced today that
negotiation for the purchase of sev
eral electric power companies by the
Santee-Cooper authority would take
place at a meeting at his office next
Tuesday.
Auditors, bookkeepers and account
ants who have been going over the
companies’ properties for several
months will attend. They have stud
ied the South Carolina Utilities
company of Conway, the South Car
olina Electric and Gas company of
Columbia and the Lexington Water
Power company of Lexington.
The authority, which expects to
begin generating power from the
$45,000,000 Santee-Cooper project in
lower South Carolina by the end of
1941, would purchase these proper
ties if it could obtain federal funds.

A* Recorded in Luka 2:8-20
And there were in the same coun
try shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by
night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of the
Lord shone round about them: and
they were sore afraid. And the an
gel said unto them. Fear not: for,
behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all peo
ple. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord. And this shall be
a sign unto you; Ye shall find the
Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger. And suddenly
there was with the angel a multi
tude of the heavenly host praising
God, and saying. Glory to God in the
highest and on earth peace, good will
toward men. And it came to pass,
as the angels were gone away from
them into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another, Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem, and see this thing
which is come to pass, which the Lord
hath made known unto us. And they
came with haste, and found Mary,
and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a
manger. And when they had seen
it, they made known abroad the say
ing which was told them concerning
this Child. And all they that heard
it wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds. But
Mary kept all these things, and pond
ered them in her heart. And the
shepherds returned, glorifying and
nraising God for all the things that
they had heard and seen, as it was
told unto them.

Pinkney N. Abrams
Washington, Dec. 20.—The Caro-
linas are becoming the scene of one
of the greatest concentrations of mil
itary man-power in the United States
and Uncle Sam is spending millions
of dollars to care for them.
With Fort Bragg in North Caro
lina and Fort Jackson in South Car
olina, supplemented by a replace
ment center at Spartanburg, S. C.,
an anti-aircraft firing range at Holly
Ridge, N. C., and an air base at
Charlotte, N. C., the army expects to
ha/e approximately 138,500 soldiers
on Carolina soil within a few months.
North Carolina also is bidding for
a marine firing range and the navy is
looking over sites in that state for a
lighter-than air scouting base. The
marines already have a large contin
gent at its base at Parris Island, S.
C., which is being expanded, and
the Charleston (S. C.) navy yard is
live with activity.
Army olficials estimate cnat even
tually $55,000,000 will be spent on its
facilities in the two states. Millions
in contracts already have been
awarded.
Here is the lineup of anticipated
expenditures to house Uncle Sam’s
growing army:
Fort Jackson, $18,000,000 for bar
racks and other facilities to take care
of 40,000 men.
Fort Bragg, $18,000,000 to enlarge
that post for a personnel of 60,000
soldiers by next July.
Holly Ridge, $9,000,000 for 20,000
men; Spartanburg, $8,000,000 for 16,-
500 men, and Charlotte, $2,000,000
for 2,000 soldiers.
Fort Bragg is one of the army’s
permanent field artillery posts and
Fort Jackson, where thousands of
.‘American boys trained in 1917 and
1918 for service overseas, appears
destined to become a permanent
army center.
The Charlotte air base probably
will be in existence for a long time
and Spartanburg and Holly Ridge
appear to be planned for the “dur
ation”—or until the United States
feels it can ease up a bit in its mili
tary preparedness program.
Trainees chosen in the selective
service draft will make up the bulk
of the manpower, although there
will be a good number of old-time
soldiers.
The trainees will be trained as in
dividual soldiers in recruit training
detachments, the army explained, to
gether with Regular Army and Na
tional Guard recruits.
This phase of their training—
which will be done in Carolina—
will include instruction in first aid
and military hygiene, military law,
military courtesy, and discipline, dis
mounted and possibly mounted' drill,
| the care, employment and mainten
ance of clothing, equipment and
weapons, marksmanship and the use
of individual weapons, defense
against gas and air attacks, physical
training, marching, camping, biv
ouacs and other subjects.
The army describes the objective
of this training as “the production
of efficient, energetic, self-reliant and
physically hardened spiders.”
Facilities at the training centers
will include barracks, mess halls,
headquarters buildings, infirmaries,
post exchanges, guardhouses, class
rooms and recreational buildings.

TEXTILES BOOMED BY
DEFENSE WORK
Charlotte, Dec, 19.—Spindle and
loom sang a song of growing hope
rod optimism throughout the textile
belt of the Carolinas today as nat
ional defense orders pumped new
life into the veins of this region’s
long-ailing major industry.
Operations reached a peak not at
tained in years except perhaps for
a short-lived spurt in 1937. More
and more mills were adding a third
shift, a procedure that was anathe
ma to some leaders of the industry
when the main problem was to curb
over production. Here and there
plants that had been idle for months
were reopening for business.
And since the manufacture of tex
tiles is the major industry, all other
lines of business felt the quickening
effect of its revival. The Duke
Power company, for instance, which
serves more than half the spindles
of the two states, announced this
week a $3,000,000 addition to a
steam-electric plant already under
construction at a cost of $6,000,000,
to meet the growing demands for
power.
Sees Greatest Business
Governor-elect J. M. Broughton,
of North Carolina, who will take of
fice next month, expressed a note of
optimism in an interview this week,
predicted that the state would enter
1941 “with unsurpassed business and
industrial activity and a chance to
reap rich reward from national de
fense building.”
“Our state will have less unem
ployment than at any time in the
last ten years—perhaps any tiiwe in
history,” he said.
Broughton, of course, was not con
sidering the government orders for
textile products only but included
other federal expenditures in de
veloping Fort Bragg into one of the
largest military establishments in
the country, the construction of an
anti-aircraft base and other facili
ties near Wilmington, and possibly
other military and defense projects.
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT COSTS
WOMAN $5,200
Boston, Dec. 20.—Giving a ride to
a hitch-hiker because the Christmas
season made her feel “charitable”
cost a Roxbury beauty shop operator
$5,200, she told police today—money
intended for a fur coat, a diamond
ring and a South American cruise.
Mrs. Dorothy L. Millette, 40, said
she picked up a youth of about 23
while driving through Brookline on
her way to deposit the sum in a
bank.
Quiet and well-mannered, the boy
had little to talk about except the
weather. When ho left the car after
a brief ride, Mrs. Millette said, he
mumbled thanks and added “I hope
you have a Merry Christjjias.”
A few blocks further on the driver
discovered that her black leather bag
containing the money was gone.
PUI LED PEPPERMINT CANDY
At every crossroads store in the
South as in mojt other sections of
the country, big striped pepper
mint sticks are still displayed
prominently on candy counters.
Always a favorite, a homemade
variety of peppermint that the
whole family will liki is
Pulled Peppermint Candy
214 cups sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 tablespoons margarine
peppermint flavoring
green coloring

and cottonseed oil margarine in
a saucepan over moderate heat
and stir until dissolved. Cover and
cook to long thread stage (248-
254* F.).

garine, and let coo! only until it
