Newport had cotton on the streets today from all parts of the county and several bales from the vicinity of Newark, and as far as Weldon and Tupelo in the other direction. The top notch prices paid by our buyers has always been an incentive for farmers to bring their cotton here, and this year they feel more in- clined to do so than formerly. Buy CTS were paying around from 33 to 34 cents today.

ANNETTE KELLERMANN
OUTSWAM SHARKS
Daring Aquatic Expert Bested Vo-
racious Fish in Pacific
Coast Exploit

In the shark-infested parts of the Pa
rife bathing is made safe by means of
steel nets. Piles are driven from the
ptcb-out to certain depth in n semi
circle and the net is fastened To them.
It Is quite common for the bathers
in the irclosure to see several sharks,
fguratlvely speaking, "licking their
chops" on the other side. Annette Keller
mann, the noted swimmer. while appear
ing in that section of the country, be-
came deeply Interested in tho spicily
dangerous shark situation.
It was only a year ago that Miss kel-
lermann created CONSERVATION and won
a substantial wager by disrcgardng the
shark danger in swimming completely
around outside the net, in so doing out
distancing not only one shark, but a
whole school of the voracious fish. 1t is
necessary for a shark to turn over on
its back TO bring its jaws into action and
AN expert swimmer can dive quickly and
keep out of peril.
While this feat Is often accomplished
by male swimmers, no woman or girl has
ever had the nerve and courage TO try II
and when Miss kellermann offered to
perform the hazardous feat she had no
trouble finding plenty of persons who
were willing to wager that she could
not do II.
Miss Kellermann is back in vaudeville
after considerable absence and Is to
appear at u. +. keith's Theatre next
week. She Is supported by company
of twenty-five In addition to swimming
and diving. she gives a practical demon
stration of physical culture.

TT is difficult TO believe that anything
i like a fair representation of Jacques
p.naud's "I'Amour Defendu" Is now on
.,.w IN Love Forbidden" at the Broad
csreet Theatre. Dsregarding for the
r,o,nent the question OF the artistic pro-
nrIety OF direct propaganda In works of
shs imagination, the AmericaniZatlon of
thls piece IL conveniently done. The
rharacter drawing Is sterectyped. The
struRrle to inject trite comedy into a

rsIyed and sincerely designed, Is so

4 Special pleading In fiction. whether be-
sveen book cover or on the stage, Is.
n course, of debatable value. Dickens

Ard point to the definite and victorious
accomplishment of the novelist's aims.
The Dlckcnsian uninterested in sociologi-
cal affairs will possibly answer that
the special pleading Is expertly handled
and subsidiary to the imaginative stimu-
ius OF the inspired tales.
TO the present writer that viewpoint
appears satisfying and sane. Eugene
Brleux, of whom NJ. Renaud is a pal
vable imitatof, is at his best when tho
force Of his imaginative gifts controls
his zeal for footlight pamphleteering.
For this reason Les Hannetons' (The
May Bugs), in which by ironlcal impli-
cation tho weaknesses of a free-loyc
code are set forth in scenes adorned by
vivid Characterization and a respectful
regard for dramatic technique. Is In
contestably better play than Dam
