Interestingly Written by Mr. J. P. Bartley,
a Burke County Boy, Who Is in the
Great Metropolis
New York, August 8th.-(^pe-
cial)—Ton raw ruralite, like the
writer, New York has wonders to
unfold to him far greater than any
that he could ever have pictured —
for the greatest wonder of rnj i
young days was why other people!
could not grow as large watermel
ons as Mr. Frank M. Cates. It has
also its wonders for the town-bred
man. It Is true that the latter has
read extensively of them, but that j
is only,to a great extent theory,
which cannot reasonably be com
pared with the actual eye-wituess-
ing.
One o* the most notable charac
teristics of the great metropolis is
its weather. For one or two days
the temperature seems endeavoring
to send the mercury up and almost
beyond its registering bounds, and
then within forty eight hours com
forts and ulstefs are keenly appre
ciated. The general opinion ot
New York, as regards the weather
is that one who has lived in the
South is happiest when hottest. It
is true, we readily concede, that the
Southron is accustomed to a real
hot climate, but certainly not to the
sudden ch£Dges of temperature to
which New 7 York is subject, which
are a3 various as the heart of a six
teen year old school lassie.
Since being here I have met quite
a number of Augusta people who
arejen route to the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo, which is just
now at its height, but i have not yet
had the great pleasure of shaking
the hand of anyone from my natiye
county. >

have their eyes- as open as thei

he breaking of some few of the
cables of the Brooklyn Bridge a few
days ago, of which The Citizen
has doubtless kept posted, occasion
ed no little inconyenience. Travel
a foot, on cars, vehicles, etc., was
entirely blocked for one day. It is
estimated that at least 150,000 peo
pie pass over this bridge during the
course of a day to and fro from New
York and Brooklyn. Now is tlie
grea.t need of the new bridge—in
course of construction—felt and this
accident will doubtless act as an im
petus to rush it to completion.

Because a man has the
