Christmas in his bones Is fit fol

is poor spirited person that can
not brighten up, and loosen up
once year, especially when good
will and giving are in the very air
he breathes.
1t is no mere platitude that it is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive. With all of humanity's
faults it has the saving grace
which makes generosity and I'M
selfshness a source of happiness
and pleasure to those who give
and those who deny themselves
for Others. And those who ages
ago founded Christmas, who gave
to the celebration of the natal day
of Jesus Christ the character and
significance it still possesses, built
upon one of the most enduring and
admirable traits of human nature.
A month before Christmas we
gave Thanksgiving for the many
blessings that have been given us.
1t is now our duty, as it should be
our happiness. to show our ex-
preston of gratitude to be some
thing more than a sham, some
thing truer and deeper than form
atty.
To the religious Christmas has
a holy significance. 1t is the
birthday of Him who gave his life
to save mankind, the inspiration
and the source of all the blessings
in this world and their hope of
salvation in the next. To the hu-
manitarians the spirit of the sea-
son exemplifies the very basis of
their cult.
The BEACON cannot wish it's
friends anything better than that
they may fully enter into and.live
up to the Christmas spirit, 1t
will well wind up the good year
1912 and fit them for a joyful 'eiisss
trance into 1918.

SOME COTTON WISDOM.

The following from the editorial
columns of the Saturday Evening
Post should be thoughtfully con-
sidered by every cotton grower in
the South. We cannot forever,
IN this active and progressive age,
rely solely on natural advantages.
Against the organized scientific
efforts of English, Russian and
Japanese syndicates, aided by
their respective governments, we
of the South must pit something
more than the negro and the mule
and the natural adaptability of
of our soil. Scientific methods
and sound, economic principles
must be followed or our great pre-
eminence in the great staple will
be lost. We can still beat the
world growing cotton, but we
must keep abreast of the age to
do 1t:
THE FUTURE OF COTTON.
Eyer since our Civil War all the
cotton using countries of Europe
have been exerting themselves to
develop independent sources of
supply. The periodic corners on
our exchanges have naturally
sharpened this desire for non
American cotton.
We are still pre- eminent; but in
the half-century seventy-two coun-
tries have begun growing and ex-
porting the staple. A govern
ment-aided Russian syndicate II,

In Ko'4s ,s.ss Japanese govern

with characteristic energy. In
India the English are extending
railroads to cotton lands and erect
ing cotton gins. These are only a
few Of the efforts now under way
to increase cotton production.
With our soil, labor and transpor-
tation we need not be afraid of
any or all of them. What we
