of Loveliness Press of
Country Devoting MuGh
Attention to Charlotte.
Breaking out constantly in new
places and gladdening the eye with
his splendor, is Old Glory and the
national colors of red, white and blue.
Charlotte is speedily taking on a holi
day attire. Two decorative firms are
doing all they can and more, too, to
beautify the city. A number of store
buildings on Trycn street on either
side of the square are now dressed for
the 20th, and several on Trtide haye
also donned garments of brilliance. By
the time President Taft and Mrs. Taft
reach the city, it will be a city beauti
ful indeed.
At night the city is going to be
more beautiful than even in the day,
and many are saying it is a pity that
the guests of honor will see so little
of Charlotte, as she is adorned by the
electric current which the Catawba
liver is sending up to us for the pur
pose. The presidential party leave in
the early evening. The pinnacle of
red, white and blue lights on Indepen
dence Square is beautiful at night, and
so is the long string of incandescents
that line the streets on either side.
From the ten stories of the Realty
building to-day thousands of small
flags are fluttering, two irom every
window in the building, and the effect
is extremely pretty.
At the big grandstand there runs a
border of bunting around the entire
structure, showing the national colors
in- a pretty effect of red stars bordered
with red and blue.
Workmen were high up in the dome
of the new courthouse this morning ar
ranging for the flinging out of big
flags and for the outlining ot the dome
in electric lights. Across the way the
band stand is being put into shape.
President Taft will stand in the front
of this platform of the grandstand,
both when he reviews the parade in
the morning and when he and others
speak in the afternoon.
The huge arches in honor ot tne
president are coming along and are
as handsome as any ever seen any
where. Wherever the president of the na
tion is there the eyes of the nation
are turned. All America will be look
ing Charlotteward on the 20th of May,
15)09. It is already evident that this
is true from the attention that is be
ing paid to the celebration by the press
of the country. The New York lieraui.
which in 1S75. the centennial year, got
out a special Mecklenburg Declaration
edition, and sent a carload of papers
here, will this year have a special cor
respondent here. The Philadelphia
