Speaker Cannon's New Gavel.
Washington Post, 12th.
Speaker Cannon will call the House
to order to-day with a new gavel which
has Just been presented to him, and
connected with which there is a story.
The gavel Is carved from a piece of dog
wood which grew on the farm where
"Uncle Joe" waa born, rfear Guilford,
N. C, and on the banks of the very
creek In which aa a boy he took his
daily swim. 'Mr. John C. Fox, of Gull
ford, who Is familiar with all the cher
ished traditions of the place connected
with the birth, boyhood, and early life
of the statesman who now calls Illinois
bis home, chopped down a sturdy dog
wood tree and turned from Its roots a
handsome and strenuous-looking mal
let calculated to stand repeated blows
upon the Speaker's desk.
Representative Joseph M. Dixon, ot
Montana, Introduced Mr. Cox to "Uncle
Joe." Mr. Dixon, who waa also born
near Guilford, and wbo has a kindly
feeling in his heart still for the quaint
place, explained, the history of the gav
el, which Mr. Cox then presented.
Speaker Cannon was delighted, and
promised to use the gavel the very
next time he makes use of such an in
strument of discipline.
"The life ot a gavel In the House of
Representatives Is a short, merry, and
difficult out." said "Uncle Joe" In ac
cepting the gift. "It has a rough road
to travel, and Is subjected to a great
many hard knocks. It doesn't lead the
simple life by a considerable sight." .

Wilmington. Dec 11. The carnival
by' the Wilmington division , of Naval
to a eiose last night. The affair sp-
poors to have bw.n a ' flnanclal," but
not "an artutlc," aucceaa, the man
agement having been several times
disappointed by the non-appearance of
attractions. Junt before the shows
closed last night, one of tha "pike"
men worked a flim-flam game upon
quite a large number of the sportively
Inclined, The fakir waa running an
Oriental dance attraction, and Just be
tore tne closing of the carnival, he
made a characteristic appeal to those
wh wanted to see something real
"rich, rare and racy." Such were In
vited to remain after the regular per
form an ce and step Into a rear enclos
ure, where their morbid la' could
b satiated. More than a hundred
took the bait of the fakir, paid 5
cents each, and rah over one another
to get front positions. What they real
ly did see was a very tame exhibition
of a girl with her head thrust through
a curtain. Several became highly in
dignant at the base deception, and .set
Upon the man and beat him severely.
In the meantime, the carnival manage
ment heard of the trick and rushed
Into the tent to have the fellow ar
rested for fraud, but before the com
motion Incident to the fight had died
down, the man and woman had pock
eted the receipts of the show and an
nex and had skipped. They were
traced to their boarding house, but
there It was found that the man and
wife had stolen their trunk from the
room and skipped their board bill. The
Indignant landlord Joined in the chaae.
and the trunk was recovered at mid
night at the Atlantic Coast Line sta
tion. The affair was the only unto
ward Incident of the two weeks of the
carnival, and the local management,
of course, was not responsible for
that.
Alex. Pierce, the negro porter who
robbed th private car ot Mr. T. M.
Emerson, of the Atlantic Coast Line,
waa brought here from Jacksonville,
Fla., by a Florida deputy sheriff last
midnight. In default of 1200 bond for
his appearance for preliminary trial,
he was lodged In Jail. The negro ad
mits having taken the goods, but
seems to think that tn doing so, he
was not going beyond the perquisite1
of hts place as porter on the car, as
all the articles taken were for his own
personal use. The railway people, how
ever, have u different cod of morals
for their employes, and will prosecute
the case against the negro, who has
been on the car for Beveral years.
Wilmington wholesale merchants say
they have never enjoyea a better holi
day tradle than Just now; that, not
withstanding the slump in cotton
prices, the country Is in a prosperous
condition, and local merchants are pre
paring for good Christmas business.
Comparatively little cotton is being
sold.

TWO STORIES OF 91&.000 NOTE.
Fully Paid, Says Flsheri Not Paid at
All, Says Blj-the Money Waa Italueil
to Help Out "Sontliern Combine" ot
Textile Mill.
NteW lork jn. llth.
Oeorge E. Fisher, a banker of 17
Wall street, who was arrested on
Friday night oil a charge ot grand
larceny made by T. Ashby Blythe, of
Philadelphia, was arraigned before
Magistrate Ommen' 1H' the Tombs
police court yesterday. He was repre
sented by Attorney Ears A. Tuttle.
George Gordon Battle, lawyer for
the plaintiff, made thlc statement of
the case to the magistrate:
"On March 8 last, T. Ashby Blythe,
the nominal complainant; Peter H.
Corr, T. V Pratt, George E. Fisher,
the accused, end EJ. C. Brown entered
into an agreement to underwrite a
note for $15,000 In favor of the South
ern Textile Company. Each guaran
teed to make good the following sums:
Blythe. $8,000; Corr. $s.000; Pratt.
$1,(00; Fisher. $S.760; Brown, $.1,750.
and a man named David Bennett
King, $1,500. The note was a sixty-
day one, and when the time expired
it was not met.
"Fisher told Corr and Blythe that he
had paid the note, and that they
must reimburse him. On June 16, the
day after Fisher waa supposed to have
paid the note. Blythe sent his personal
draft to Fisher for $3,TB0, and Corr
sent his personal check for $3,760, they
assuming Prate's Indebtedness of
$1,500.
"A week ago Blythe and Corr, who
had paid their share, received a letter
from tho- attorney for the holder of
the note, asking them to pay the
amounts they had guaranteed. They
were astonished. Investigation show
ed that Fisher, who said he had paid
the full amount on June 14, had not
paid one cent."
Mr. Fisher's account of the affair, as
given by Mr. Tuttle, was radically dif
ferent. Mr. Tuttle sold:
"The Southern Textile Company
wanted money very badly last Mirch.
Mr. Flshor at times lias loaned as
much aa $35,000 to this company, and,
because he did not duslre to have tha
public know his entire business deal
ings, he arranged to have the men
named join with him In apparently In
suring the note. He went to lOdward
Langdon, former president of the Cen
tral National Bank, and they got him
to take the note. They deposited with
Mr. Langdon bonds of the Southern
Textile Company aa collateral.
"The note was indorsed by tho six
persons, and Mr. Fisher took lt upon
himself to make the full payment
when the note fell dui. When lt did
fall due, Blythe and Corr sent $7,500
to Mr. Fisher, which Mr. Fisher took
to Mr. Langdon in person. Mr. Lang
don returned to lllytho and Corr tholr
bonds in one-half the amount of tho
collateral."
Mr. Fisher was held for examination
next Tuesday morning. Ball of $1,000
was furnished by John W. Wilbur, of
1556 Pacific Street, Brooklyn. The
amount of the larceny spoctfied In the
warrant Is $15,000.
The Southern Textile Company Is a
New Jersey corporation, organized
about two years ago for the purpose
of combining Southern cotton mills. In
the textile trade It Is Known as the
"Southern Combine." Mr. Fisher Is a
director of this company, and of the
United States -Life Insurance Com
pany, and is said to be a millionaire.
Mr. Blythe Is well known to a
number of people In Charlotte.

tVERTHIVK ABOUT IT?
Many a Itcuhlerit of Charlotte Will
Tell You
We are living In a very rapid age.
Pew of us bother our heads about
Kmall things, and so many persons
look upon a pain, ache or lameness
In the back as a small thing. They
wait for It to pass off, giving no
thought to the cause. Remember
theso Important facts, take a mental
note of them for future use and when
the time comes see them. The kid
neys are tho sewers of the system;
they carry off the Impure matter. The
kidneys are located near the small
ot the back, hence any stoppage af
fects the back. This means back
ache, lame back, and many other dis
tressing symptoms. There Is lots
more to tell on this subject, but we
won't do lt here, tor we want to show
you how to keep the kidneys so the
back will have no csubo to ache. Tou
might not believe us, so we will let
one of your own cltlsons tell their
experience;
Mia, Nellie Benuon Itoevcs, living
at 218 N. Tiyon street, Charlotte, N.
C, says: "I suffered with back-ache
