GEORGIA WOMAN WRITER
CALLS N. Y. "ROOF GARDEN
OF EDEN FOR ADAMS’
Miss Edna Cain, of Quitman, Ga., Writes 'a
Sprightly Article of Her Impressions
of Metropolis.
The New York Evening World prints a sprightly article from the pen of
Miss Edna A. Cain, one of Georgia’s most gifted newspaper women. She
puts her Impression of "Little Old Now York” Into especially pleasing
words and gives one a moat enlightening view of tho big town. Introducing
Miss Cain to Its readers, the World says:
"Miss Edna Cain la the owner and editor of the Free Press, of Quitman,
Ga^ a town of 5,000 Inhabitants, In'the southwestern part of that atate.
The latest public service achievement of the Free Press was securing the
passage of a law to prevent cows from roaming at large on the streets of
Quitman. She Is visiting New York, and her observations, printed below,
show that she has the keen perception that distinguishes the clever news
paper woman.”
Here ts the article:
BY MISS EDNA CAIN.
It will doubtless surprise the average
New Yorker to be told that there Is any
phase of the city from the enjoyment
of which he Is barred because he lives
here. This sounds paradoxical, but It Is
true. For Instance, he cannot come up
from a country town in the far South,
as I have done, and have "first Impres
sions" of New York. It Is not given
him to see himself as others see him.
In fact, I do not believe that he quite
realizes that the others—the outsiders
—really exist. To him New York Is all-
sufficient, all-absorbing, also all-ab
sorbent. From which it may be In
ferred that my first Impression of the
New Yorker Is that he Is what he
would term provincial.
I have not eight-seen New York from
what Is derisively termed a rubber
neck wagon, not liking to have my at
tention coerced by a megaphone at so
much per hour. If you venture forth,
alone to see what sort of Information
you can attract for yourself, you may
miss some of the usual sights, but you
are sure to see some unusual ones.
Down where I live we had read of
the "wave of crime." and It was very
shocking to people whose peace la un
troubled by anything more violent than
the question of whether the cows shall
or shall not be allowed to graze on the
street*. There, when a young wofnan

hits many misgivings. And I must con-

are, sitioklng In care and retraining
seated while women stand, ts proof. It
must be true. Occasionally a man gives
hie seat to a woman In a oar, and she
frequently does not thank him, so they
seem to be about even. The man
loitering down the Watdorfa "Peacock
Alley” "usually removes his hat
skirts the silken plumage of the pa-
ratlers, but I do not fancy that tills Is
why It Is considered one of the show
places of New York.
Man's a Man, but a Woman—
It appears that In New York a man
Is a man, but a woman may be sev
eral aorta of persons. Based on this
mutable ruling Is a suit to be brought
against a prominent hotel by a woman
who was not thought eligible os a din
ner guest because she was without an
escort. You would think that In New
York a woman who paid her hill and
was otherwise pleasing In conduct
might.eat according to her desire at
any time and place. Of course New
York’s reason for ruling otherwise Is
not the reason of a country town like
mine. It seems that New York asso
ciates the fall of the first man with
eating. and does not Intend to allow
any designing Eves to serve any for
bidden fruit aa an addition to the din

he would have liked-having his name

author of something new under the

shows might be depended upon.
Speaking of beauty. It Is largely a
work of art In New York. A woman I
saw on Broadway, with an Impression.

FDR KI3 ADDRESS
Editor of Georgian Address
es Great Meeting at
Union City.
At a meeting of the state officers of
the Georgia Farmers* Union at At
lanta Thursday night, Stato' Lecturer
G. M. Davis was Instructed to return
the thanks of tho union to Hon. John
Temple Graves, editor of The Georgian,
for his address before the union at
Union City, Thursday.
’’We desire to commend the broad
and liberal vlewa of Mr. Graves,” said
the officers of the union, “who on every
occasion haa expressed his friendship
for our organization, and particularly.
his address of today, which was free
from political bias and baaed upon the
principles which make for the good of
the organization."
Mr. GraveB delivered the address of
the day at the big Farmers’ Union bar
becue at Union City, which will be
made the state headquarters of the
organization In the near future. The
little town Is two miles from Falrburn,
und the union Is beginning the opera
tion of several Industrial enterprises
there. Nearly 6,000 persons were In at
tendance at the great barbecuo and
heard the speeches.
Mr. Graves spoke of the wonderful
growth of the Farmers’ Union, saying
that he had watched It from Its In
fancy, and It had been free from mis
takes and from political entanglements.
At the conclusion of his address he was
requested by the state president, R. F.
Duckworth, to have the speech pub
lished In order that It may reach the
members of the Farmers’ Union who
were not present.
Among the other speakers at the
barbecue and rally were President R.
F. Duckworth, J. L. Lee of Nownan,
R. F. Epworth of Barnesvllle. B. E.

Broadway Is Baffling.
If Broadway Is baffling to the coun
try person, with ItB light breezes, cross
currents and tossing marcel waves,
the Wall street section Is very satis
fying aa a truly New York spectacle.
The canyon-llke streets—narrow, high
and stony, with their streams of hu
manity, mostly men, are all one expect,
and make a tremendous appeal to the
rural mind fed on "Frensled Finance”
and trust cartoons. But the very
corpulent cartoon trust magnates must
have been away taking obesity cures,
for I did not see anybody on Wall
street half as fat as some of the local
magnates at home; and, while It was a
quiet day In the street, still brokers
looked more like a lot of Irresponsible
schoolboys than frensled financiers who
lived by snatching hard-earned coin
from the farmer’s horny hands. I am
only giving Impressions, however, and
not setting myself against the fixed
opinion and firm belief of the Farmers’
Union of “down South."
One thing which Impreesea me won.
derfully Is that I do not see any weary,
worn, tlred-out persons on the streets.
The men look well-fed, well-groomed,
fresh, bouyant. There Is 4a tradition
where I live that the pace that- kills
Is hottest In New York. If so, it must
be a quick death and a happy one.
Judging from the merry aspect of the
living.
I have not seen anybody with the aort
of stoop which Is gained by polughlng
ten hours per day. Nor have I seen

people are marvellous beyond what two
dozen circus days In a country town
all rolled Into one could be. The crowd
ts orderly; It knows where It Is going
and how, and It feeds Itself steadily
into the Subway and Bridge Stallone
like a sausage machine. The Subway,
by the way, 1» the most absurd of New
York’s manifestations to the rural
mind. There Is a grim, titanic sort of
humor In the Idea of a place eo popu
lous, so much In a hurry that It must
propel Its people In express trains
through an underground tube.
An evangelist from the South was
here recently, as one come from the
wilderness, calling upon men to repent.
But It seemed to me he had a hard
contract People who annex the lower
regions by means of a subway for pur
poses of traffic are not greatly Im
pressed when a preacher endeavors to
locate hell only a half-mile beneath
them. If New York could see the old-
faahloned devil who le the terror of
country religious revivals It . would at
once try to star him In vaudeville, and
would pay him well ae long as he was
amusing.
The electric signs on Broadway con
stantly daaxle the eyes with promisee
of the absurd, the entertaining, the
novel. 4n the country, where there are
no electric rivals and no theatrical
stare, the heavenly ones look imposing
enough; but when I went up on the
roof to get a view of them they were
truly pathetic.
The new moon hung red on the sky
line and looked like an advertisement
of a new high ball going down every
night. Mars looked so dull I knew
nobody In New York 'cared enough
about him to signal him, and the Milky
Way was quite ecllpeed by the warm,
golden glow of Its earthly rival, Broad
way. I have an Impression If the

York they will have to let down «•
