Unlike the built of Bash an and the prohibitionists it comes not bel lowing and blowing but quietly, and doggedly. The misers, the money fcoardera. and the timid plutocrat are pening Up their banks, their coffers and their old socks, and letting- out their plled-up fold, silver and copper. The mack raker has slunk away, and goes hungry, and snarling around the dark; corners and through the damp subway. Everybody in Charlotte is : smiling and rejoicing, with sunshine in his heart and filthy lucre in his eans. The uneasy laborer, who for twelve months has felt that any day hi employer might shut up shop and let bis machinery Jle Idle, and cut off ails means of existence, feels stronger. "" and sorer, and his wife and children are happier and hopeful. The man .Who put his savings in a little home at an advanced price, when real es tate was mounting higher and higher ; aind money easy to get. sees smooth k' sailing ahead. His head is above wa ter, and the horlson Is brightening. . The widowed mother, who bargained ' for a lot on which to erect a house, .' when times were good. Is full of ; cheer. The suspense Is over and cv v cry man and woman of aense and .' foresight sees a better day for this v . community arfd section. Ten more V years of such growth as Charlotte cx- . make It one of the most delightful -' wities in the land. Manufacturers, v merchants, professional men, wage ; earners, raklrs, ana all will prosper. : 'New hotels, new opera houses, new .race buildings, and new boundary lines will be demanded. Cotton fields - sw w us ucu aasw v L J n'ln, uiiu i rni ' state dealers will become bloated . - bondholders. A season of plenty and expansion Is on the way. -; NOT ALL DUE TO TAFT. All O.f this promise Is not due to but confidence has been restored and money will circulate. The American i. people are proud, self-confident, and ; daring. They have spoken at the bal-,-r lot box and now turn to the more , pleasant and alluring game of money making. Had Mr. Bryan been elect ed they would have been just as well satisfied with their efforts, and felt -juai as certain or a glorious destiny. Everybody man. woman and child .-'to talking- better times. Word to the effect that the panic Is no more has been put out. and money-hoard era believe it After confidence comv's men? all sorts of money and, then, prosperity. Jin Observer man called on scores of people yesterday, and asked con- corning eviaences oi gooa times, ana be was told to view the promiaed land. Cotton mill men, cotton mill machinery manufacturers and sellers railroad agents, farmers, wholesale and retail merchants, ("poke In one voice, saying: "We feel it In the air." It la In the air everywhere. North, rJSut, West and South. Local busi- ' ties men who had just returned from . "New Tork, the great financial centre ' f the country, declared that they had , never heard more optlmlstlo talk. They said the business sections were as active as crowded bees. ' ALL SORTS OF EVIDENCE. TJie first person the reporter met, after he started on his rounds, was Mr. J. J. Carr, who conducts an ex tensive draying business. "What .Improving?" "Yes, sir. In my work of deliver ing goods I can tell who sells goods and who does not. Within the last , twenty days car loads, of all sorts of ."i merchandise has been coming here. Th merchants are busy early and .- late. I am hnullnu more boxes of goods than at any previous 'time in a Jong while." . "How are the brick plants of the community doins?" a brick yard man - was asked. V "Our business has been picking up . alnce the last of July. November of 1908 compares favorably with the ,ssme month in 1906, For the first time In months we are getting In qalriei from railroads. ' "Tou can say, too, that lumber Is more in demand than it has been at any time for a year. The big piles i numoer ie.il in some yaras wnen -Ing and soon the saw mills will be . humming again." DEMAND Ig GOOD. ' The cotton manufacturer Is the happiest man in the city. He has t ea in clo.se quarters for months. Ml goods have remained in the ware- house. In order to keep his opera tive lie has run his plant at a logs. There was no demand for his prod-sets. "What about the rntton mill bul ttesa T" a wel'.-knnwn manufacturer " TWB BMI II.

Negro at Whose Home Mncb "Plun der" Was Found Tried on Larceny Charge and Case Kent Vp. ' ' John Bldgood, the negro In whose room a large Quantity of clothing was found Friday night. , was yesterday placed under additional bond of $100 by the recorder. The apectflo charge preferred thl time is the theft of a pair of trousers on the llth of Sep tember from C. W. Brady. The negro, through his attorney, put up a vigorous fight and a num ber of lively clashes betwesyi court and lawyer kept the cultured congre gation of spectators from lapsing Into sleep. It was about the head of .the witness for the prosecution that the controversy waxed warmest -the bone of contention being the old story which ha livened every recorder' court since the office was created whether or not the police judge may ask witnesses questions which op posing counsel think a Jury would not be permitted to hear. "Is there anything else against the prisoner?" Col. T. L. Klrkpatrlck asked. "Yes," spoke up Mr. Thomas' M. Chrlstenbury, chief of the cohort of blue-coats that defend the city against invasion. "His license as a restaurant keeper hea been revoked." Who did that?" "I did," replied the recorder' left hard man. "I ordered It done." ""You had no authority on earth to do a thing like that," replied the lawyer. "That right belongs ex clusively to the board of aldermen." "Well, I have done It, anyway," re- plied Mr. Chrlstenbury- "Can the board ot aldermen go down to the 1 place and investigate and see whether or not It should be revoked?" POll THE WHITNEY COMPANY. Effort Being Made to Rehabilitate Company to Carry on Work Near etaiwbury. The7 following Pittsburg dispatch to The New York Commercial, which ap peared in Monday's Issue, will be read with interest throughout North Car olina: "Both New York and Pittsburg financiers will be represented at a meeting of bondholders to be held In the Colonial Trust Company's of fices here to-morrow for the purpose of rehabilitating the Whitney Com pany by the raising of $2,009,000 to be used In finishing the work on a water electric power plant on the Yadkin river in North' Carolina. "The Whitney Company Is a concern started by Osorge 1. Whitney of the recent firm of Whitney & Stephenson, which has been In the hands of re ceivers for some time. Abput $6,000,000 already has been expended which will be lost unless $2,000,000 more can be raised. A. O. Brown & Co., of New York represented most of the Eastern bondholders and put forth litigation which blocks plans for reorganisation by Pittsburg holders of bonds In the Whitney Company. Both sides will be represented to morrow and It Is thought an agree ment to finish the work will be reach ed". DR. M-OHEE'S CRAWFISHING. The Dig I) offer Takes Him to Task and 1 Not Consoled. "Dr. Zach McQhee can't crawfish at this late hour," said the Big Duffer, with a sad and melancholy look upon his face. "His rosy-colored report of the 'silent vote' that was going to sweep Col. William Jennings ftryan Into the White House so enthused me that I put my last dollar on the Democratic champion and when It was all over my bank account looked like a spent lemon. There is but one way to make repairs and that Is to refund my money. But I dare say that If Dr. McOhee were to" under take such a thing he would go broke In one Charlotte precinct. Un limited damage has been done. He may not have said outright that Bryan was going to win, but that suent vote,' wnere I do not know. was to do the work. Alas, I have learned a lesson. Dr. McGhee, thou hast fallen. We cannot be com forted." Dr. Zach has been discredited here. Many people, relying on his Judg ment, wagered recklessly -on the N'ebraskan. and lost. No one In this neck of the woods knew where the i silent vote' was to come from, but everybody was relying on the doctor to look after It and get It out. REV. R. E. HOC GH PASTOR. Accepts Offer From Clialmer Me morial A. R. P. Church in Dll worth. Rev. R. E. Hough ha consented to take charge of the pastoral work of Chalmers Memorial Associate Re formed Presbyterian church, which was tentatively organised Sunday af ternoon at Sims Hall, In Dilworth. This will be good news to those who propose to attend the services at the new church. In its meetlnr yesterday In adjourn ed session the First Presbytery of the A. R. P. Church accepted, after some discussion. th.e report of thl organ ization, which was presented by Rev. Dr. n. . Miller. Some questions were raised as to the regularity of the proceeding, some of the member who were asked to serve as officer being then members of other churches and practically all those who Joined as member being at that time members of other churches. It was pointed oat, however, that while these thinks were not according to the rules of the Church strictly In terpreted,' yet theyt offered the heat solution of the situation which pre sented itself. Rev. W. A. McAolry Ordained. Rev. W. A. McAuley was regularly ordained a minister of the gospel by the First Presbytery of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church y. terdav afternoon.
