The closing paragraphs above quoted, it seems
to the BEACON, somewhat evidence personal feel

In other words, they appear to us to indicate a
personal grievance against the latter named gen.
tleman, and read as though Mr.. Stovall has it i'm

cause of its expressiveness) for his opponent, and
seeks to get him into "a corner where he can
punch his head" metaphoricalIy speaking, ito

blow, to the floor" there to stay untilhe takes

Whether Mr.. Stovalls ''sore toe" is due to the
unintentional careless, stepping Of Mr.. Reilly or to
malice prepense : laundering along we have no
means of ascertainiBg.
Over in Europe we are having strenuous illus
|~tration of how great fire a little spark may kin
die.
It is to be hoped prudent counsel will prevail,
and no furious conflagration may result from Can

Mr.. Reilly does not appear in the open letter of in

That letter makes no reference to any other

issues, our lives and our characters " at

WHEAT GROWING.

The growing of wheat in Noxubee county has
been given much consideration by our people late
ly. Two features of the proposition here are most
promising-everybody is going to plant some, and
nobody is going to plant much.
This is eminently wise. We cannot in one year
expect to grow wheat for the market, and there
fore no one should plant more than enough for his
home use. 1t is largely an experiment, the grow
ing of wheat at all.
On the other hand wheat has been grown sue
~cessfully here before. For general purpose, it is
as good as oats; for chicken feed, it is better, and
if we have a -four mill in reach, our homegrown
wheat may put us a long way forward on home
production of food supplies. AS a venture, an ex-
pertinent, it seems to be eminently safe.
Nearly every farmer in the vicinity Of Macon,
and many others in the county have been inter-
viewed, and almost without exception. everyone
agrees to plant a few acres, two to five acres.
Some will plant more, but hardly more than a thou
sand acres in the county can be counted on. That
as much as a thousand acres can be counted on
is practically certain.
Another thing that can be counted on is that
there will be a flour mill in Macon. The Imperial
Cotton Oil Company promises to put in one, and
Mr.. D. W. Harris, the miller, just on the northern
subskirt Of Macon, is going to install one. He is
an experienced man in this line, and has ground
wheat before. He says his mill will be prepared
to take your wheat and return you -four, middlings,
shorts and brand in separate receptaces.
1t is up to every farmer to plant a few acres in
wheat. 1t will mean no loss; it may mean much
gain. On application to the Alabama A. and M.
college at Auburn, a fine pamphlet, on wheat
growing can be obtained.

conditions are improving and that America is about
to enter upon an unprecedented era of increased
business and prosperity.
If general prosperity returns to this country,
there is no calamity great enough to keep the South
from sharing in it.
With her great abundance of coal, iron, cotton,
lime rock, lumber, and her fertile soil and unsur-
passed climate, there is naught under heaven it
would seem to keep the South from going fairly
