Mr; Editor: A name for the new hotel is getting interesting. I notice that Mr. Cald well favors **Coneord' 'for its ettphony —and the harmony and peace which it stands for. He seriously objects to "Cabarrus” as but few can give it its f French- accent. , I have been here 43 ydrs and I have never heard * the name pronounced other than what the most unlettered person would call it* and he was always understood. Let me ask, don't we owe the fellow up north seme consideration? He per sists in calling our beautiful city “Konk-ord.” Take the case. H. C. H.

Thinks Hotel Should Be Named For Mr- J. W. Cannon. Mr. Edtor: Couford alone did not build the new hotel. It was built by the citi zens of , Cabarrus county, If CoiP cord were to claim all the eredit an#" name the "hotel without considering the subscribers from other parts of the county it would be unfair. Why should not Concord honor the memory of the sons of Cabarrus? Atlanta pays tribute to Henry Grady: Raleigh to Sir Walter Ka- Jeigh; Greensboro to O Henry; Dur ham to Washington Duke; Winstou- Salem to Count Zinzeudorf and Robert E. J.ee; Greenville to General IVinsett. Are not Concord's and Ca barrus' sons worthy of such honor?' The Stephen Cabarrus would be an excellent n.ame. The J. W. Can non would, honor the name of one of America's greatest captains of in dustrial empire with Cabarrus' as its center, brought thousands of dol lars into the community and provid ed employment for hundreds.

' New York World. m "Little Abe” .Hummel, dead, is cont • inf back to the city from which he i fled after the elaborate fabric of his i life collapsed about his ears twenty • years ago. This is the news carried by the Associated Press last night 1 from London, where the diminutive i lawyer died on Saturday. His two sisters, from whom he had 1 been inseparable ever since he was 1 released from prison here, announced in London that they would send the body to New' York for burial. Togeth er the trio —Hummel!, Mrs. Kaffen burg and Miss Bertha Hummel—had occupied an apartment in the fash ionable Portman Square- neighbor hood since the war. •At the age of seventy-five, with death approaching, Hummel told his friends: \ “I do- not want publicity when I die. I had enough in my life.” Publicity Long Avoided. This was given as the reason why ] they kept his death a secret. For! twenty years he and tiis sisters had : religiously kept out of the public eye—quite as. religiously as “Little : i Abe” kept in it during the previous j | thirty years of his life. The career of “Little Abe” was one i of the ihost picturesque features of closing years of the last century in the city. The law firm of Howe & Hummel htyl a world-wide fame. To the cluttered offices of “Big Bill” 1 Howe and “little Abe” marched half ; the criminal world in search of ad vice nnd defense.

He wept at will and juries seemed to obey the slightest change of expression upon his face. “Little Abe” begun as Howe’s office boy. He was a bright boy and soon found a natural place for himself in that office, -.where Vshrewdness was at a premium. ■ “You ought to See my little Abey ; he's so smart.!’ Howe would tell every one he met for the first time, even years after Hummel entered the firm. Caught in Divorce Scandal. “Little Abe” was the office man. In later years he was called “vermin,” “rat.” ‘'blackmailer,” and many other epithets after he had been caught in the Dodge divorce scandal and con victed of suborning perjury. But when “Howe & Hummel” were at their crest, men spoke respectfully of "Little Abe” in jipblie, whatever might be their private thoughts. In the shining baid pate ot Hummel, enormous atop such a ridiculously small body,"were'stored away the se crets of many of the city's most prom inent persons. He was a veteran first night patron of the theatre; "wrote more than one play himself. He was a gourmet of admitted discrimination. He was involved in almost every large | divorce action brought in the city. I Many stories are told of Howe & ' Hummel. Their office made no pre hensions except for activity.
