Those who have been to New York will no doubt! smile at the memory of what they saw : and- did there and those who haven't' yet been there should have a happy thought and be glad that they live la dear old Dixieland. Who wants t? live? even though one had n illions, | in a place where the weather hangs j around zero in winter and scorching in ; sammerT New York connot be described?one j must live there or at least visit there often to know anything about' The City ofCitiea" and its ways upon the earth. The city has a population around eight million souls now (most of the souls are dried up, however) and the majority of this great number are aa mad aa any marsh hare or cottontail with a bunch of hounds after it. To stand on the corner of Broadway and Fifth avenue, or any corner near the "Bright Light District," makes one wonder at the job even the Lord will have on Judgement day (no levity intended), and Judgement day is all that will ever make New York pause in its mad scramble for more millions. And people who know believe that Christ would meet a Gethsemane on every block on Broadway. Old Ju daa lscariot didn't have a thing on Broadway, New York, for there are people there who would betray Him for 80. cents instead of 90 pieces of silver. The patsebeat. of the city never entirely teases and one oan stand in the great Pennsylvania Railroad station and hear the low hum of hundreds of thousands of feet that rush across the entrances and waiting rooms with the sound , of a brooding storm gathering for the onslaught. New York is the most cosmopolitan city in the world, of course. Millionaires and beggars mingle, sometimes. because tbey,can't help it. There are more pushcart peddlers in New York than the entire population of Fort Mil*. Trains arrive at the Pennsylvania station or depart every seven or eight minutes day and night, and you could gather up every building in Fort Mill, factories, dwellings and all, and put them in the Pennsylvania station and ^ still not All it to the top. And Fort W Mill could be dropped into Central A park> New York, and then one would I have to search to find it. There are as many people in Greater New York a? are contained in the States of South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and most of Georgia. And moat of these people are in the midst of a groat spending riot. Never a thought for tomorrow?rushing to the Great White Way, spending and having a good time today, for tomorrow never comes to most New Yorkers. This makes living expenses of the better class exceedingly high, though of course one can find cheap meals and lodgings in the tenements ( and on the East side, and a few other places. The writer paid $10 for a room at the Waldorf for one night (of course 1 knew I'd only be there one mgni) inu.B meai u most 01 me tine hotels coats from $5 up to $16. The grill rooms of these hotels are furnished with everything that money could.buy and one eats amidst swarms of pretty girls and music. However, Southerners don't fancy the cooking in New York, for although some of the chefs at these great hotels get from ten to twenty thousand dollars per year, ttoey can't cook any too well. Sugar in the corn bread and they always manage to put something on the top of all meats to ruin it before it is served. Every evening and night the city is thronged' with a million or so merrymakers ?qxactly tailored men and beautifully, gowned, bright-eyed, blueeyed, brown-eyed girls, all looking for a good time, and they have it, fbr New Yorkers care little for what the world may say or think, and they scatter rosea and perfume on the road to hell (if Near York believes in such a place). Girta up there don't know much about cooking, but they know all about the latest Parisian: na>d m. and can HmmMh very minutely the latest $1,000 to $10,000 dresses. Moot of the fashion* able gowns are made of spider web and moonshine silk, and one couk) carry $100,00(1 worth in his arms (without a girl in it). Bht it is worth much to us Southerners to aee New York oooasionally, for it makes us happy, or at least *' ahold do so, when wa return to our homes in the South, where the mockingbirds sing us to sleep and sing us awake, and where the landscape is bathed in soft moonlight and where the neighbors, as a rule, love eaoh other and.talk about each other and stand ready to help if needed and where oar beautiful and grand Southern girls know bow to cook without ruining it in the end tad have hearts like April viol?ts?rsweet and true blue.
