A Revival of Wheat Growing.
There has beefl much said in the
papers of Georgia and by many
prominent farmers, about raising
more wheat, and many farmers, not
only in north, but in middle and
south Georgia, have declared their
intention to sow a portion of their
lands in wheat.
The farmers of Lincoln county do
not intend to be behind the process¬
ion and the Journal is informed
that quite a number will sow a crop
of that cereal this year.
It is not claimed that wheat can
be grown as a money crop in this
section, but with ruin confronting
them if they persist in the all-cot
tin business, the farmer who diver¬
sifies his crop and makes sufficient
corn, oats, wheat, peas, syrup and
other necessities is wise. If he still
has time and land to raise cotton as
a surplus crop without going inti
debt, lie can stand 4-cent cotton, but
unless he raises his own supplies, is
with the present price of cotton it
only a question of time un'il the
sheriff sells him out.

Mr. K ossie Smith’s Side.
As the Journal published state¬ and
ments from both Dr. Caldwell
Mr. Coleman Groves we also give
below Mr. Kossie Smith’s side of the
recent shooting affray. It appeared
in the last issue of the Washington
Reporter and is as follows:
Editors Reporter: There has
been a good deal said in regard to
the difficulty between Dr. Caldwell
and my father, John L. Smith. I
’dislike to go into public print, but
feel that our side of this matter
ought not to be misrepresented. of
I was. in Lincoln ton on the day
the difficulty, and heard that Dr.
Caldwell and Coleman Groves had
gone to Washington and had taken
the road which passed immediately
in front of my father’s bouse. As
to my previous difficulty with Dr.
Caldwell, while his assault upon me
was wholly unprovoked, brutal and
humiliating, I had no idea or desire
of following it further. 1 knew,
however, that my father was greatly
excited and disturbed in regard to
the matter, and that he would take
these parties, passing in front of his
house, as a sort of challenge. Be¬
lieving that he would accost them
and express himself as he felt in
regard to their conduct, and knowing
what his feelings were, on account and
of his sympathy for myself,
knowing the character of Caldwell,
I thought it my duty to hurry I to my
father’s house as rapidly as could,
to prevent any difficulty, if possible,
and if not to do my best to protect
him.
I kept him under my watch till
evening. On seeing them pass his
house on their return to Lincolnton,
I looked around for my father and
missed him, and knowing that his
hands were at work on the road
belovv his house and that he was
probably with them, I grabbed a
gun and hurried by a path which
led into the road. On arriving there
I found Caldwell shooting at my
father, and I at once fired at Cald¬
well.
My father states that he was deter¬
mined to express to these men bis
opinion of them, and did not at¬
tempt to use a pistol until Caldwell
began firing at him. As an evidence
that there was no premeditation on
our part, the gun had not been un¬
loaded for several months, and the
first barrel failed to fire.
