 Special Attractions.
 On the stage, besides the. pleasing selections by Tubbs' band, the barrel jumping and trick house act by Reno and Smith entertained the crowd. both doing some clever stunts.
 The big feature, however, was Hol- den in his daredevil ride around the loop. A late arrival delayed the erec- tion of his apparatus, but about $ o'clock everything was ready and the act was carried out. It is certainly a thriller and beautifully done, Holden getting big hand from the crowd. The entire act is over like flash. but 1t is cleverly done and takes nerve and practice to accomplish it. The crowd was spellbound at the start and every one apparently held his breath until the flight was over, it being one of the best features the fair has had in years, eQualling a balloon, except that 1t does not last as long.
 Along with this Holden does a high dive, but there was not time enough to arrange this apparatus Monday, but today he will do it. He will dive from a ladder 90 to 100 feet high into tank of water four and half feet deep. w. II. Walsh, formerly manager of the Auditorium, but now manager of the United Booking agency. is here look ing out for the act and will superin- tend the getting of the water for the tank today, as he sa~- this feature will surely prove an equal to the bicy- cle ride.

old Daniel w Johnson for sending
black hand" letters to Asa G. Cand-
Ter some time ago 1t will be recalled
that young Johnson confessed that he
sent the letters.
The true bin was found by the fede-
raj grand jury that is now in session
in Atlanta. With It is filed a complete
record of the case with the letter in
which young Johnson demanded $35, :
GOO of Mr. Gambler The boy failed
to come for the $4,000. but compro-
missed over the 'phone for $4,000.
The trial of the case will come up
before Judge Newman later. The low
er courts will hardly prosecute john
son, but he will likely be convicted
on the strength of his confession in
the federal court and be given light
sentence.

GENERALLY ADMITTED THAT A
BRUNSWICK MAN WILL BE
THE JUDGE.
Two or Three Names Have Already
Been Mentioned in Connection With
Place-outside Counties Seem VIII
ing to Let This CITY Have Presiding
Officer.

The formation of new judicial cir
cult, cut from the present Brunswick
circuit, means, it is generally believer,
that if the division is made Bruins
wick will have the new Judge. while
the solicitor VII come from some other
county in the circuit.
As a matter of fact the judgeship
of the Brunswick circuit was discuss
ed considerably by many of the attor-
neys who We're in the city to attend
the meeting Thursday, and a majority
of them expressed themselves as ia
voring Brunswick attorney for
Judge.
That the Judge should reside in this
city there is no doubt 1t is easy
for attorneys from all of the other
counties to come to this city to attend
chamber sessions OF the court, while,
if he is located in some of the other
counties, it would be difficult for at
,orneys from all over the circuit to
find as convenient schedules as are
enjoyed by this city The attorneys
even went SO far as to discuss who
should be the Judge, and a welI-known
Brunswick attorney, quaifed in every
respect for the position. vas suggest
ed by more than one of the visiting
attorneys as well as by the members
of the local bar
Judge Parker will, if the new circuit
is created, be the judge of it, while
Solicitor Thomas will remain, as long
as his term lasts, with the present
Brunswick circuit but whether or not
he will offer for reelection is not now
known, This will create a vacancy of
tne solicitors office in the new cir
cult, and already there are one or
two candidates with others seriously
considering Judge F. Willis Dart, /
OF Douglas, and NJ. D. Dickinson, of
the same city, have already practical
ly announced themselves as candidates
for solicitor of the Brunswick circuit. !
and now that the circuit will likely |
be divided, they will, of course, offer
in the new circuit. A well known
Waycross attorney is also spoken of
as a probable candidate.
That the division will be made there
is no doubt, and it is believed that
the change will be made on January
l. next
