SFFICE PHONE 30 ~ Ceorgians in The New York - National Democratic:Convention % By M#s. C. E. Brown . The Georglh Delegation to the . Deraocratic Cé’nvention in New York ‘met the first gime on Friday, June 20th at the Dg Soto 'Hotel in Savan- Auah, as the ?;gests of Hon. Pleasant p Stovall editor of the Savannah Press. Heré we were entertained on the broad porches at a most delight ful breakfast, which was followed by a ride thra the city and over the tew pav.g(} road to Tybee. The Board of 'rade furnished sufficient cars to carry the entire party. They brought us back to Savannah in time to catch the boat at 3:30 for New York ¢ The passenger ship Montgomery, carried us. It was in charge of a {!ery‘ obiliging' captain who became -quite attached to our party on the three-day’s voyage. ] “The greatest source of interest on the boat was six brides who were very diverting with “their beautiful: ‘clothes, happy " faces and buoyant Epirits. They were all quite talented. iEvery one of them sang well and‘ furnished some delightful musie for the entertainment o: the other pas sengers. Another member of the party who gave a great deal of pleas ure was Mr. Sutton, Supt of the At lanta Schools. He had the rare gift of -&fiing a humorous story well and kept the rassengers in an uproar with his funny stories. He was Just as’ good in his serious moods. On | ‘Sunday morning we held services on board the ship and his talk on “‘Prayer’’ was. the finest on the sub- | Ject I have ever heard. | - We had a delightful voyage, as the gea was sa}lmg.‘hfid no one became sitk. Before we reached our destina tion on Monda;}' morning the novelty having worn .off—the lapping of the vg'éter became ;somewhat monotonous ‘and it was almost too peaceful and ;tfn;_ the inaetion became tiresome and about ‘the most interesting fea ture of each day’s rrogram was the three gongs which came at the eyact hour every day to announce break. fast, lunch and’ dinner. “iThe Statue ¢f ‘Liberty in New York bay was quité.a welcome sight. Soon Monday morning a small boat was drawn up to meet us—sent out by Mayor Hylan to bid us welcome. On this boat the first persons to greet us were our:‘good friends, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bimgleton, who tried in every way, &nake our stay pleas out while in New York. On this boat there was also the committee of 100 former Georgians whose business it was to entertain the Georgia Dele-- gation. These good people who had 'moved to New York seemed very glad to greet the new comers from their former state and declared they Wwere only New Yorkers by adoption They met us with many cars and carried us for a ride thru the princi pal styeets, ;;;:olntlng oyt places of most interest along the way. When we landed in New York it seemed as if the whole city ;itself were at the wharf—never ‘have I saw so many and such var}gd specimens of hu manity. It seemed as if there were gome of every kind in the world there, especially (Chinese, It was explained afterward that a large ship had just landed them from an excursion. The Georgig : Delegation which numbered soitething over a hundred men, women -and children, had grown by this time quite well ac quainted and before we separated ‘Ssome lasting friendships had been formed. We were all registered on the ‘ floor of the Pennsylvania—New firk’s largest hotel, altho not the most hbeautiful. Other delegations were also housed here and sometimes ‘made the night hideous with their ybgh back and forth across the courts, ‘“We Want Smidt,” which was immediately answered by a defiant yell from the-McAdoo forces. Finally some exaspefit‘ed sleepy head would yell, “Shut up there. Go to Sleep!’’ and sometimés other expressions not so “choice or- refined slipped out on the night air. ' New York Bad rut forth every ef ‘fort to give El'heir guests a welcome and to do l_i_?n/self credit andf right well she sucéseded. The ;streets were literally aglow with the American flag and these décorative colors blended in all the shops and in ev ery available place where decora tions could be used. A vast sum must have bheen expended in this way. Bi I(xz the Ccavention got down to ‘serl%us business it was , entertained ic many beautiful teasy Teceptions, banquets, breakfasts, buffet suppers. Ittu.ater parties and other events, I The first night we were sent to the immense Hippodrome—about the largest in the world to a theatrical entertainment. The next night we were guests at the most elaborate ‘dinner ever held in New York so I ‘was told. I think it quite possible. There were 360 tables with 3600 guests on the' list. This was quite an ‘exclusive affair with much red tape attached. It was in the magnificient ‘ball room of New York’s newest and most modern hotel, “The Commo dere” In speaking of New York one naturally falls into the habit of using superlatives. Everything is on an im mense scale, | Senator George entertained us the next night, his Georgia friends, with an elegant dinner at the Waldorf As itoria. This was perfect in every de tail. Mrs. McAdoo entertained us with a buffet supper at Park View Hotel and Mr. McAdoo with a re ception at the Vanderbilt. We met Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo Miss Margaret ‘Wilson, Mr, Bryan, Senator Harris, Senator George and many other kind ly peorle. Celebrites got to be quite common. : Some of the delightful trips we had were first to Oyster Bay, where we went to Roosevelt’s grave on a hill ‘overlooking. his old home and then down to “Laurelton,’’ the estate of Louis Tiffany. “‘Laurelton” compris es 1,800 acres of park land, heavy with foliage and spring flowers. Mr. Tiffany was an artist. The making of ‘‘Laurelton’’ into a thing of surpass ing beauty was one of his chief oc cupations. Here We were entertained with a lovely reception by the charm ing Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany. ) Of course we went to China town and ate some of the Chinese food just for the novelty, but it proved to be ouite appetizing. We visited some of the shops and one of the missions in this section, - i One should not go to New York without visiting the Woolworth Tower and to the church which Washington attended so we went to both of these as well as Coney Island. Grant’s Tomb and Columbia University. We also went to a reception at the fa mous Tammany Hall, through the Bellevue Hospital, the Public Library which covers three city blocks and contains 6,000,000 books and is a sight worth seeing. We algo visited Central Park and most wonderful of all the Metropolitan ‘Art Museum which would really take a week to exhaust its wonders and we had only a day. ¢ Another great treat was an inspec tion of the largest ship afloat “The Leviathan’’ which was captured from the Germans in the late war. Words can hardly do this beautiful ship justice. It is indeed magnifi cient. FRUIT JARS PINTS, QUARTS, AND - HALF GALLON - SIZES Prices Right 0. L. Rils, Hiv. EDITED BY JULIA NEAL We enjoyed all ‘the various means of transportation employed in New 'York. ‘the Subway, Elevated Surface cars, Bukes and Taxicabs {o say noth ‘ing of using one’s-feet to quite a good advantage. Before the three weeks were over we had become quite ex rert in dodging traffic and here I lwis_hv to commend most heartily that "splefidid corps of policemen—some }14200 who aided the pedestrians so ‘splendidly in the great throngs of reople which lined the streets at all hours—both day and night. Very few accidents occur and it is wonderful considering the heavy traffic here at all times, . Another specially delightful trip we had that was enjoyed by the whole ‘delegation was a day up the Hudson to West Point, This was taken on the ‘“Hendrick Hudson’’ The scenery was perfectly beautiful along the ‘way and West Point was not only beautiful, but interesting. The officers very kindly showed the visitors thru ‘everything and after resting on the lawnu to watch the Cadets drill, they were ready.to return to the ship, hav- Jng had a most thrilling experience. ‘There was one thrill after another on this trir. Another day we had sever ‘al thrills when we went again up ‘the Hudson to the old Tilden estate, ‘now the home of Samuel Untermyer. ‘This time we went by land with the river running parallel with us all along the way. Our destination was ‘the Untermyer home where a great repast of choicest foods had been pre 'vpared in the beautiful grounds sur-- rounding this home. Mere words can not describe the heauty both in ‘matural scenery and artifical which is to be found here. This was just LOne of the best pictures to put away' in memory’s store house that can hd imagined. i ¢ The last night in New York we went to the “Capital’”’ to a picturd show. This is most heautiful and one ‘of the largest theaters in the world. The convention itself was intense ly interesting, even to a woman and there were about as many women as men there. 1t was at times thrilling; even a calm, unemotional pers~ }cou]d not refrain from joining in the excitement and sharing the enthu ‘siasm which seemed to be in the at mosphere. The meetings were held in Madison Square Garden which had a seating capacity of 16,000. Every available seat was always taken so. ‘there were at all times enough peo ‘_'r:-le to stir up some noise, This oc-- curred frequently. Interest ran high ‘about the time of the 66th and 67th ‘allot. Along at that time it looked as if it would be an easy thing for onr McAdoo man to be nominated. I was proud of our Georgians—the ‘way they stuck so immovable and loy ‘al through all the long tiresome ‘hours. They did not give up until it was apparent that holding out further was foolish. I was so interest ed I did not miss a single session dur ing the time thru the 103rd ballot— the longest, the record breaker of all history so far.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH "ated with thousands of flags—it !seemed to me and made a beautiful !setling for the Convention. I thought 'it the prettiest place I had ever seen when I first went in, The first day ‘'they opened the top bunting and showered the people with innumber-- able little silk falgs which were kept as souvenirs. " When Davis and Bryan were at last selected to be the standard bearers, it was quite a relief, for we were be ginning to want to get back home, so we immediately began to mak: preparations to leave New York. We spent one day in Buffalo and it was indeed a treat once more to see green grass and trees. This is just one of the most beautiful cities imaginable. It is so beautifully kept [and laid out solely with an idea of beauty. We drove thru the city from one end to the other having a guide to tell us of all the places of inter est. We saw the place where Me- Kinley received his death wound ‘and the house in which Roosevelt took the oath of office after McKin ley’s death. £ ' The culmination of all our pleas ant experiences was the last. It was the cream of it all. We left Buffalo in the morning went across Lake Erie and spent the day at Niagara, Our guide with his car went with us 80 that we did not get fatigued and were enabled to see and understand it all. This is indeed the grandest work of Nature I have ever seen or ever expect to see. Here one comes close to God and is obliged to ac kiiowledge his majesty and power. 'this sight is sublime. We saw the falls from every angle—going thru the passageway and under the Horse Shoe Falls. The scenery around here is beautiful beyond words. One can not but be impressed with the fact that ‘“God is here.”’ ! We returned to Buffalo, took a gleeper and were at home. in an in creibly short time—having made the trip from Buffalo to Cordele in 32 hours, changing cars only one time. BIRTHDAY PARTY ; On Thursday afternoon, Janice Ham celebrated her tenth birthday with a most delightful party at the home of Ifier parents. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Ham, on Third street. A large number of little friends and playmates were present to en joy the happy occasion. Various out-door games were play ed, directed by Mrs. 0. W. Rentz, and Mrs. J, A. Ryals.
