CITY RECOVERS
FROM CHRISTMAS
Rolls Up Its Sleeves After a
Couple of Days of Quiet
and Rest.
After a couple of days of cessaton
from business and occupation of all
sorts, Charlotte went back to work
Tuesday morning after a lapse since
Saturday night for the Christmas cele
bration. The two days given over to
the quiet and tranquility of the annual
occasion were productive of fewer ex
cesses than has often been the case in
the past when there was only one day
for Christmas relaxation.
Themultitudes turned their faces to
the churches Sunday and the calmness
and serenity which, generally characte
rize the observance of the Sabbath in
this community were not violated even
by the extraordinary rights which ssme
think Christmas invests them with. An
occasion explosion of a fire-cracker
might have been heard, but the Sabbath
was commemorated by a dignity and
becomingness which were notable.
The camaign to make it a Go-to-Church
Sunday was profitable and suc
cessful. Unusually large congregations
faced the ministers at both morning and
evening services and special programs
of music, recitations and other forms of
Christmas worship were such as to
draw the interest and attendance of
church-members generally and hordes of
others who do not make it a practice
to attend with any degree of regularity.
Monday was taken as the day off for
making merry during the Christmas
and it was a day marked by more than
accustomed quiet. The streets were
largely) deserted. The day Avas cold and
disagreeable, making for unpleasantness
and discomfort for those out of doors,
and this probably contributed to the
fact there was so little in the way of an
external celebration.
The celebration this year, according
to police officers, has been featured by
an orderliness which is somewhat un
usual. While there was an occasional
unfortunate to pick up from the streets
zecause he had tarried too long at the
moonshine, the city was remarkably
free from wrong-doing of an overt kint.
There was little lawlessness called to
the attention of officers and no semb
lance or suggestion of a wave of crime
such as is being experienced in many
other cities just at this time of the year.
The Christmas was attended by the
usual big dinners around the firesides,
some turned their faces toward the
country to spend the day in hunting-,
others ministered to the needy and the
oor, seeing to it that some of the luxu
ries of the Christmas were tendered
them and making a point to get some
of the necessities of life distributed
where there were the most Insistent
colls for such.
Many of the youngsters exhibitel the
plentitudes of Santa Claus with which
the old patron saint had invested them,
bringing to the streets thei little wag
ons, tricycles, roller skates, miniature
aeroplanes, musical devices of varied
sorts and other trinkets left them upon
the occasion of the prowling about of
eld Santa.
Recovering from the cessations of the
season, the wrestling with big turkey
dinners and other forms of holiday
transgressions, the city rolled up its
sleeves again Tuesday morning ami
went back to work the best it could
under the circumstances. The post
Christmas feeling, however, was in evi
dence in the display of languor in busi
ness offices and a general atmosphere
of torpitude which follows the laying off
from labors for a day or two.
. Merchants set themselves to the task
of finding out what shapt their stores
are in following the rush of the holiday
buying, many of them reparing to in
stitute sales at once to clean up the
fragments and all of them looking for
ward to the time of the inventory which
fulls between now and the first of a new
year.

pects will not be half those of Decem
ber last year $1.0006,000. The loss at
this date, December 22, is approxi
mately $175,000 and exactly half of
