Alitor the Ear* Mill Times:
Being requested to give an outline of
I neittri|> r mode to Nfew York City,
4S 1 gladly do se with the hope that some
reader somewhat* may. at leaaft smile
and have a happy thought. 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.
