DEPEND on THEIR SKILL

No Nets or Beit-Thc show VIII
he i'm Wilmington O.. Monday.

Few acr:1lists. nc matter how de--
ing, work without first minimizing
their danger BY the erection Of 2 a1etr
net directly under them and Ten cr =
dozen feet above the ground More
fearless and death denying than all
others the performers with Cole Broth
ers United Shows, which will exhibit
Monday September II. afternoon and
evening in Wilmington use neither lite
belts or nets, depending entirely upon
ther own courage, confidence and pow
ers. The terrifically startling and
hair-ra.sing feats thes- conceded me
teoric kings and queens perform, high
above the heads Of the fear-gasping
spectators, are such few persons dare
risk. The members Of one troupe pa
ticularly appear to be without nerves
or fear. They pass ano repass from
bar TO bar, from ring to ring. swinging
in the very done of the mug tent, and
subsequently from BAN to landing
place with cleverness. certainty and
precision. showing the Hottest posi-
bic training coupled with fearfully
amazing skill and judgment.
The members OF another family ac-
tually A. through space, their bodies
revolving like swiftly moving balls.
They toss. catch and pass each other
with astounding uucOncern. The
many other performers with Cole
Brothers are likewise post-graduates
of their professions, having been Gull
ed from the top most circles OF Amer
lean and European artists.
Then there are scores OF marvellous
" educated wild and tanned animals
and a whole university of ludicrous
clowns. These funny fellows cause
children TO go into paroxysms of laugh
ter and elicit smiles from even %savants,
philosophers and the gravest OF scien-
fists. They send spinsters and bache-
lors into actasies of merr1ment. Lack
of space prevents the naming Of all the
mighty features to be found in these
big shows, suffice to say they are the
newest and greatest money can pro-
cure.

1t is absolutely certain now tha- the
two candidates for the legislature, DR..
\. NJ. Culbreth and Col. George L. Nor
ton will not meet in joint debate.
Friends of DR.. Culbreth made it known
last night that he would address the
voters of the fifth ward a. Fifth and
Castle streets at s o'clock tonight. A
platform will be erected, and he will no
doubt be heard by a large crowd. This
will be the first speech of the campaign.
The public as a whole seems to be
taking but little interest in the politi-
cal situation, Judging from the amount
OF talk heard on ne streets. Unless
some active politician is near, few are
heard to mention politics and then it is
with a great lack OF interest. Indi-
cations point to a very small vote being
polled and as far as general interest
is concerned, it does not seem % be as
great as when the candidates first be-
gan tC come Out several months ago.

several days off and things may warm
up yet.
One week from Saturday and the con-
ventiOn meets to nominate a mn Tor
the senate in this district, and as yet
the New Hanover delegates have ret
been named. It cannot be told, Of
course, what they will do, but it is
believed that they will ignore the pri-
mary inasmuch as the county cOnven-
ton held in May by a unanimous vote
declared that no delegates were to DC
instructed. There is no doubt about a
BrunsW :ck man being named, but it is
believed that the New Hanover deiega-
ton will oppose the nomination of Mr..
George H. Bcllamy on the ground that
he is in favor of compulsory pilOtage.
It is not known hat Mr.. Bellamy EVER
made any public expression in regard
to this matter II way or the other,
but there are some who think that #
he goes to the senate it will mean Il
renewal of the pilotage fight. AS has
been said on several occasions, there is
not the slightest doubt of there being
two democratic candidates in the field.
What th-ir platforms will be no one
knows for thus far the public knows
only one of the candidates. Unless the
other candidate comes out in the next
few days there will be only n candi-
date in the primary for the nomination
for senator. Mr.. Bellamy.

Lonnie Snipes is said TO be from
Long Creek, Pender county. He
drives the wagon for the Robert Port
ner Brewing company. He has been
here for two or three years.
Before the officer could reach the
house the other young, men in the
party had left the house but il is more
than probable that all Of them will be
arrested for Officer Groom, who is well
acquainted in this city, was in the
house and he, no doubt, knew the
men. If Snipes gets well it will be to
face a charge that could not mean
death under the circumstances but
might mean a long term of imprison-

after he was shot.
At 3 O'Clock this morning Mr.. Will

BRITT PICKS CANS.

Jimmy Britt, in a signed article, predicts that Joe Cans will win in the coming battle. He says: "Gans will probably profit by mistakes of my battle with Nelson. foolishly walloped away at his head, when the Dane's body should have been my target. Cans can administer more punishing blows to slugger of Nell sons type than he can to a clever man. All of the negros battles prove this conclusively. Nelson depends on wading in and tiring the other fel- low out. Cans is just opposite in his ring maneuvers. He is careful to avoid punishment and at the same time is always attempting to admin ister 1t. In my first fight with Nell son I adhered strictly to that mode of fighting and I beat him handily. Nelson has a left that will bother Cans, but don't think the Dane will be able to jam his head up under Cans' chin as he was allowed to do with me. Cans will hit Nelson as often as I did. The question is. Will Cans be able to wallop Nelson hard enough at 133 to put him away? I found Cans the harder hitter. He is what I call an accurate hitter with either hand"

He Is coming back here next winter to take few falls out of some of the local chaps. Sam my says that Birmingham Is even more baseball crazy than ls Water bury and that Birmingham Is leading the Southern league. Wrestling is still going down there for he sends q clipping from Birmingham paper about match between Farmer Burns and another chap under the soubriquet of "The Turk" The clip ping is as follows:

 From the Instant time was called it was apparent that the match would be a stiff one. and although the strangle hold was snot barred. neither man saw fit to use fl. Burns. ni- though smaller and considerably out weighed. had the best of his opponent throughout. The Turk put up a game fight. however. and recovered himself several times from what seemed cer- tain defeat.
 The first fall was won after nine minutes of fast and furious work with a hammer-lock and half-Nelson hold and the second in sixteen min utes with the hammer-iock alone.
 After his victor "Fnrmr" Burns managed to quiet his frantic admirers long enough to issue challenge to any man In the world weighing not more than DO pounds.
 In the preliminary. Dewitt Gihson of Birmingham defeated John Clifton of Atlanta with full Nelson hold In 10 minutes and seconds. Clifton was much the smaller of the two men and won many friends by the courage which he displayel throughout. He took the offensive throughout the match and Gibson had his hands full at all times.
