Now the Christmas-bell music

And the music of doorbells was

But a year after Christmas we’ll

For it’s worth all the sacrifice,

When the children are happy

Westcott Loses Garage.
Hot Springs, Dec. 30.—Fire
early this morning destroyed
the garage of Harry Wescott,
president of the Arkansas State
Fair Association, entailing a
loss of $5,000, with insurance of
$3,000. Mr. Wescott’s country
home is located several miles
out, on one of the pikes.
Fortunately Mr. Wescott had
all his machines out of the gar
age ciiiu m me miy me time,
which made the loss decidedly
lighter than it would otherwise
have been. It was imposible
for the fire department of the
city to reach the fire, owing to
the paving now underway on
Park avenue.
Mrs. Sarah J. Rains.
Mrs. Sarah J. Rains, wife of
R. C. Rains, passed away at the
family home in East Newport
Saturday morning at 8 o’clock
after a week’s illness of pneumo
nia.
Mrs. Rains was born in Hard
eman county, Tennessee in 1842
and was 69 years of age. She
was married to Mr. R. C. Rains
and came to Jackson county, set
tling near Elgin, twenty-five
years ago, living there until a
few years ago when they moved
to this city to make their home.
Mrs. Rains was an estimable
Christian woman, who loved her
home and friends and was ever
ready to help those who called
upon her.
The deceased is survived bv
her husband and two children,
Mrs. M. D. Coe of East Newport
and W. I. Raines of Elgin. To
these who are bowed in grief
is extended the sympathy of
many friends.
The funeral service will be
conducted at the family home
Sunday morning by Rev. B. L.
Harris of,the Methodist
burial
demand
The demand
that a surplus
bales is far smaller
to the total re
than was the case
ago. Moreover,
the South is richer and better
educated in the principles of
economic law. It has, learned
how to do other things than
grow cotton, and its agricultur
al versatility enables it from
year to year so to change the ob
jective of its enterprise that
when cotton ceases to be profita
ble another crop will be grown.
For these reasons, and be
cause it is easily demonstrable
that it costs at least 9 cents a
pound to produce middling cot- |
ton, and just as much to produce
low-grade cotton that only sells
for 6 cents a pound, when mid
dling cotton sells for nine cents
a pound, I think it entirely rea
sonable to assume the probabil
ity of higher prices for the year
1912.
I congratulate the South upon
the advance that it has made in
tne application or economic
knowledge to an economic prob
lem. The whole world will be
better off for it. A plethora of
cotton at extremely low prices
in one year affords an injurious
stimulus to consumption. A de
! ficiency and extremely high
prices in another year result in
an equally injurious stimulus to
i production.
The most thoughtful students
of economics are gradually com
ing to the conclusion that mon
I opolies are essential to the com
plex civilization of today, but
that it is necessary that such
monopolies should be wisely and
reasonably regulated. If the
1 South, through the diffusion of
■ economic intelligence, can wise
ly and reasonably regulate the
monopoly of cotton production
that it enjoys, so that we shall
have neither extremely high
prices, nor yet unprofitable low
prices, it will have provided an
object lesson which ill prove
most useful, and in i >ng run
it will, in so doing,^^Hl£onsult
its own self-int**
dore H. Price.
