Brinson's average weight is $50

The man supposed to have been the

record is authentic, Brinson heads the
list for the world so far as size
goes.
He is a turpentine operator and a

preparation to Establish Branch
of Cave Spring Institution,

Triton, July 5.-The urgent need
for a school for the deaf in South
Georgia is demonstrated by the sta
tistics furnished by the State school
census, which shows that of 1862 deaf
children in the State, 1873 are in South
Georgia. There are approximately $50
deaf children in South Georgia who
are not attending school.
According to State Superintendent
of Schools NJ. L, Britain the stats
tics furnished by the State school cen
sus taken in May are complete ex-
cept for four counties and twelve 10
cal systems, where the enumerations
must be made again. In 144 coun-
ties there are 202 white and 124 col
ored deaf children. OF these 102 white
and 81 colored are in South Georgia.
The counties and local systems not
enumerated will add twelve or fifteen
more to this number.
Last year the total enrolment at
the Cave Spring School was 1873. OF
this number less than fifty were from
South Georgia, leaving approximately
$50 deaf children in South Georgia
to whom the liberal appropriation
for the institute at Cave Spring is
practically worthless. 1t is to rem
edy, this that the Legislature will be
asked to pass a bill to establish a
branch school in South Georgia.
At a meeting held in Triton last
March an executive committee with
r. c. Postell, Of Triton, chairman, was
appointed to inquire into the need for
a school for the deaf in South Geor-
gia. Chairman Postell has called a

WHEAT OUTLOOK PROMISING.
Yield Probably Will Be Greater Than
Bio Harvest of 1912.

Prosperity is indicated by the wheat
crop prospect. The present outlook for
the total yield of spring and winter
grain Is that the nation will produce
as much as 1t did last year, when the
aggregate was estimated at 730,000,OO0
bushels.
Winter wheat, according to the latest
government report, indicates a total
OF Asa, 100000 bushels compared with
1000 900 bushels last year. Iowa is
sending hattering reports of the WIN
ter wheat yield. Thrashing machine re-
turns In many instances are from forty
to fifty bushels an acre. The average
yield for that state, Ii is now estimated
by the state weekly crop bulletin. Is
about thirty bushels an acre.
Compilations on the government re-
port issued some time ago show that
the spring wheat yield probably viii
be 24S,000.0OO bushels instead OF 21S,-
100000 bushels, as was suggested i'm
mediately after the report became pub
lie. IL these later estimates be correct
the total production Of wheat In the
country will be slightly more than that
of 1912, or approximately 731 ,00O,0 600
bushels.
