Texas. Where the infestation of the
boll weevil is heavy considerable poi
soning is being done. Georgia and

THE HARTWELL SUN. HARTWELL, GA., JULY 24, 1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
New England is a beautiful spot
this time of the year. It is a coun
try of paved roads and prosperous
cities and hustling natives. Its coun
try-side is a vision of well kept farms
and tidy farm-houses, many of which
still stand after fifty or more years’
service and everywhere one finds a
neatness and look of thriftiness
around these placese that gives a bet
ter picture than anything else of the
hardy New Englander. Yes, New
England is beautiful at this season
of the year. In Attleboro, a typical
little manufacturing city of Massa
chusetts, by day the roar and hum
of the factories are on every hand.
Everyone works. Then as the day
draws to a close there is a sudden
halt in the steady toil and the whirl
of machinery ceases and out of the
various manufacturing plants come
the crowds of homeward bound work
ers. Another day gone. And riding
out of this little city we leave behind
us the unsightly factory buildings for
the simple beauty of the country.
Os green trees and a thick foliage
on every side and gently rolling land
carpeted with a velvety smoothness.
And little brooks half-hidden merrily
chirping away with now and then an
old store house, a relic of past years,
set back amidst giant trees and time
worn paths. Abundance of water.
Frequent lakes, whose dark pools
gleam in the rays of a setting sun
and reflect the sombre shadows of
surrounding objects. All of New
England is a veritable paradise of
living things, especially that section
hereabouts for rains are frequent
and there are numerous streams to
feed the parched earth. Only a few'
miles away in the ocean.
Unlike any other people in my ex
perience, are the New Englanders,
themselves. New York, with its con
glomeration of riff-raff never excites
anything but disgust and extreme
dislike in my heart as the years go
by. The North, the East as a whole,
for that matter never has accentu
ated but one thing in my mind in
all my travels there and that is, the
utter selfishness and coldness of their
people and the absolute lack of con
ception of courtesy and the little
things that make life a pleasant ex
perience. I stayed several days in
both New York and Philadelphia and
not once did I see a single soul smile
a real smile or laugh a hearty laugh
(exception, of course, Chas. Teas
ley). It has always been 'so. But,
in that small part of the United
States known as New England there
exists a people who are different:
who, while not as hospitable and
warm as Southern people, have a
courteous attitude and a more un
selfish view of life; who, exhibit on
the whole both to stranger and
neighbor, a kinder air of solicitude
and set themselves apart as being
refined and cultured. It is a revela
tion to hear these people talk, for
their English is generally perfect and
though their views may be hard and
■at sometimes loud, only a pure
rhythm of correct language flows
from the mouth of a speaker. Ex
cepting the foreign-born element,
most New Englanders date back to
an early period in American history
and are rather proud of it. And, so
it is, that we find factory workers
and laborers of all sorts and people
in every walk of life with the speech
of trained linguists. “Ain’t” is an
unknown word up here and every
other false word that is familiar with
we of the South. Instead, one hears
“aren’t” and “can’t” (English style)
and the frequent words of everyday
use, said in regular Sunday style.
Glimpses of New York—, out of
New England via a limited train to
New York. The Grand Central Sta
tion where one needs a special guide
to find the exits and the street. And
being a "country boy” I signal for a
Red Cap who pilots me to a waiting
taxi. Night-time. The roar of traf
fic and the flashing electric signs. Up
Broadway, with the throngs of
theatre-goers on either side and the
rows of pulsing taxis and trbeks and
autos, three abreast charging back
and forth. Up Broadway to 42nd
street, the theatre district, thence to
our hotel. A shor trest and again out
in the crowd. A sightseeing bus to
Chinatown ready to leave lures us. In
we hop and begin the journey. Up
Broadway for a while then into the
narrow streets of the slums. Where
the'streets are littered with ill-smell
ing stores and sweat shops and dirty i
children romp carelessly amidst the
passing traffic. And, frowsy old
ladies and ragged men sit in door
ways peering in the street with list
less eyes. The Bowery. Whose for
mer name besought visions of a row-,
dy night-life—of gangs and thugs
and wide-open saloons and gambling
houses. But now, —a quieter section
of New York whose inhabitants are
a well-behaved group of the poorer
class and whose former saloons are
picture shows and soft drink stands.
Then inty a street of better appear
ance. Chinatown. Row after row of
oriental shops and chop suey places, j
Sidewalks lined wiht Chinamen, some
in American clothes, many in native
costumes of black coats and hair
braided. We stop at a Joss House.
With its carved images and the smell ,
of incense. And up long winding
stairs to the shrine itself where lone
ly Chinese worship in their native
way. Thence, back again to Broad
way. Into a hqppier atmosphere.
The theatre crowds are out noV-,
pouring an avalanche of people into
the streets. Taxis whirl by and now ,
and then an open-air hansom with a
top-hatted driver in front pauses for
a passenger or two passengers. Os
all of New York’s sights, this relic
of old times struck me as the most
odd. Back to the hotel and then to
bed.
Further glimpses of New York —
In day time. The ceaseless roar of
traffic. The hurrying crowds with
never a smile but always that hurried
look of the pursued. Foreigners and
swarthy East aiders. Shop girls,
By E.8.8 .Jr.
over-roughed and raucously common.
A whole city of Hebrews with only
now and then a Gentile. The jargon
of stiange tongues in the air of
newly arrived emigrants and older
flotsam from Europe. Many of whom
will never learn English nor their
privilege to live here nor understand
America and its opportunities. If
America were to close its doors for
ever to emigration it w’ould be far
better off. But the New York in
day-time goes on. A hurrying crowd
of humtnity, each one for himself.
Points of interest about New York
Broadway—, the greatest street in
the world with its conglomoration of
every class of people and its rushing
crowds.
Fifth Ave.—, where the “Elite do
their stuff" and the home of exclu
sive shops. The better class of peo
ple walk this section.
Mounted policemen—, who sit as
tride of handsome nags with never a
job to do. The most glaring of the
city’s political plums.
Taxis—, forever and ever, a steady
stream up and down every street.
Every color from the famous “Yel
low” to all shades of red and purple.
New York’s taxi is the cheapest in
America. Posting about an average
of 50 per cent less for any trip than
the same distance would cost in At
lanta or any other city.
New York's people—, a potpourri
of every nationality and mixture of
blood but mostly Jews. A people
with a heart of stone and the man
ners of the ally-rat.
Apartment houses—, block after
block of them from one room affairs
to palatial suite of rooms. And now
—the smartest of all ideas, the tiny
little homes complete in every detail
even to a little garden, atop of all
the giant office buildings in the city
where happy families live and pay
from twelve to fifteen thousand dol
lars per year for the privilege.
Sigh seeing cars—-, catering to
“country boys,” like myself but al
ways filled with awe-stricken pas
sengers ready to see the sights in the
easiest way.
Theatres—, housing America's fin
est and newest shows. A lounge
room in each for the smokers, now
adays crowded with the feminine
smokers along with their male com
panions.
Double deck busses—, running
along the principal streets, the easiest
and cheapest way to see the city.
New York, the magnificent—sub
ways, elevated cars, — a million won
ders.

Putting your shoulder to the wheel doesn’t do much
good unless you put some effort into the action—you can
not bluff the wagon into moving.
If you desire to progress yourself and to aid your com
munity in progressing put your money into a bank. Your
bank account may be small, but the multiplicity of accounts
makes the bank strong. It is just like several men putting
their shoulders to the wheels of a mired wagon and lift
ing it out.
The stronger your bank is the better it can serve you
and the community.
