During the long period in the in dustrial expansion of this country, while republican administrations held sway, corporations, styled '"infant in dustries" and fed from the tariff bot tle, soon developed into colossal pow ers of capital and property. Thanks' to the tariff pap, these -in-fant industries" soon became able not Dnly to stand on their own feet but to stand on the feet of their competitors, rt developed into a struggle where prosperity which was mighty and dom inating. The demand for currency reform grew out of the . existence ' of this mighty pbwer in New. York, city;' and the aim was to so shape our currency laws as to wrest this power from the hands of a few men and thereby make panics and periodic periods of un necessary and abnormal financial strin gency impossible., The currency law has been passed. The trust laws are going to be en forced, and the keener minds of the big group of trust magnates realize this fact and are yelling: "Don't shoot; we'll come down." The telephone trust took the initia tive. Others are planning similar ac tion. But the greatest development of the era was the voluntary action of the firm of J. P. Morgan and Company. on Friday in relinquishing their official connection with thirty or forty of the biggest corporations of the country. In resigning directorships the House of Morgan announced that this action was due to a "change of sentiment." and in order to hereafter make im possible the attacks and criticisms of the system of interlocking directorates which had existed. If the firm of Morgan & Company has become one of the greatest finan cial powers of the whole world it is well enough to credit their achieve ments to the laxity of existing trust laws in the past, and not to the gain ing of power by the violation of law. The trouble was that administrations of the past have fostered rather than frowned upon such combinations and their conduct, and that is one of the principal reasons why there is a com plete change of men and ideas work ing at Washington at the present time. This victory "out of court" is one of the greatest so far recorded under the Wilson administration, and there are indications that the Morgan course will be pursued by others. " GOOD TIMES AHEAD."

II Dear Friend Public: It has been some time since you heard from me. but as the price of crepe has not gone up you evidently did not mourn me as dead Only the good die young, notwithstanding that a horde of old cusess are flattering them selves into the belief that they are the exception to the rule Onny-how, I never saw an Angel with whiskers, If trouble, trouble, trouble keeps broodin in your heart And a creepy kind o'teelin' brings a frigntened, fitful start, Chirk up and face the music and the melancholy note; Will turn to one of gladness in the vangeful villian's throat. Ypu can do a sight of worryin' as you rare along the road: You can get so all fired blue it seems you jes' can't bear the load But sunshine waits to greet you, with a wallop for your woe Good times will halt to meet you it you only will it so.

V In an interview with Mr. A. B. Crowell of the Ford Sales Company, he stated that if he were to judge business conditions by the activity of his local business, or, that of his agents in eighteen counties adjacent to Charlotte, he would say that it was brighter than it had been since he had been connected with the com pany a period of three years. Says Mr. Crowell, "Our fiscal year dates from October to October, and the Increase of 400 per cent in the cars over the same period of last year s business. Our records show that forty cars have been sold and delivered in Mecklenburg county since October 1st, while only ten were sold during the same period last year. The percentage of increase by our agents has been even greater than this. We are confidently expecting a far great er increase this year than ever before. We have contracted for one thousand cars for our territory and, from pres ent indications, I believe we shall have no trouble in selling them during the year. Business men are buying cars for business purposes, which is an in dication that they are expecting an eid 01 prosperity and are a-ettino- ready to go after the business."

In connection with the tree we had a fine sermon by Rev. Walsh on the Birth of Christ, taken from Luke 11, 11th verse: "For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ, the Lord." Mr. Walsn is a fine speaker, and spared no nains m making his sermon plain and ef fective. Mrs. Walsh, hiff wife, ner- formed beautifully at the organ. We enjoyed both so much. , We do thank dear Old Santa for his gifts, for he has been unusually kind to us this Christmas; for in addition to the above, the superintendent of tne home killed the fatted calf, and aiso gave us a pig weighing about 2ux) pounds.
