Abstract:
Part two of a three part article examining the early life and political career of Populist leader Marion Butler up to his election to the US Senate in 1895. Particular attention is given to differences between Butler and Georgia Populist, Tom Watson, who was in Butler's service to the Farmer's Alliance, his persistence as a Democrat, and his beliefs in fusionism. Butler's life has been seen influential not only because he was president of the Alliance and a senator, but because his life demonstrates the path to political reform taken by thousands of farmers during the 1880s.

Abstract:
A look at the businesses of Edward Dilworth Latta, a Charlotte businessman who opened his men's clothing store in the town in 1876 and formed the Charlotte Consolidated Construction Company with the mayor and four others in 1890. The company developed a suburb, Dilworth, housing members of the middle and upper classes, as well as mill hands for the city's textile industry. Dilworth's utilities, trolley lines, and parks were installed by Latta's company. Labor troubles and competition to provide services caused the decline of the company by 1910 and Dilworth was annexed by Charlotte in 1907.
