prominently mentioned as presi- .
dent of Furman university. The
popularity and ability Of Mr.. Burts
are evinced by the fact that he
has received several calls to very
prominent pastorates at increased
salaries which he declined to &C.

The cornsta1k wheat is much better
than that sown on stubble. also talked
with Geo. McKinnie this morning He
has twice represented our county in the
legisla ture and is considered a very
reliable and conservative man. He told
me that the wheat in this county would
average 25 bushels per acre. There is
no doubt in my mind that there are
pieces of wheat in this county that VIII
yield 30 to 35 bushels per acre, but we
get some bad reports. mostly from peo-
pie that pastured their wheat too late
who ought not expect too much off or
pasture land. 1t is my honest opinion
that the wheat Will average 20 bushels
in this county, and that we will pro-
duce more than we have any one year
since 1 have been here, and I have
been here for over thirty years. If the

SPANISH BEGGARS TO GO.
Ancient Organization Threatened by
an Anti -Vagrant Measure.

and begging. which are practiced on
large scale all over the peninsula and
are particularly INDUCED in by young
children The bill has been prepared by
the social reform committee OF Madrid
although it was actually drafted by
Senator Santa Maria de Parabes of the
Madrid university.
In no other Latin country is the guild
of beggars so well organized. The Span
ish beggar is not usually a thief, or
rather. overt thieving is discouraged by
his profession. Spanish sOciOlOgists
trace the origin of the present day beg
gar to the time Of barefoOted pilgrim
ages and hair-shirt discipline. 1t is af-
firmed that the whole class of quite or
derby men and women who crouch at
the church doors and piously bless the
donors of copper coins are in many cases
the hneal descendants of pilgrims who
used to do penance for those who were
charitably disposed toward them. There
is no doubt that even today the Madrid
beggar who is called in Castilian ''pOr-
diOserO," is a very pious person; in
deed. the appellation implies as much.

phrase that beggar utters to the

Our family physician examined
Postum and decided to use it altogether

is so strengthening My father and
mother have always been coffee drink
