"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 Hurts to New York alone, the family hits many misgivings. And I must con- their hats In elevator* where women 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 ner menu From which It may be gathered the law and the profits are doing what they fess bring very much gratified when can to make New York a safe roof my own arrival In New York promised | * a rd«" 5?®" J to fulfill these feverish expectations.) first Impression of_Broadway was When I arrived at night and my friends missed me at the ferry I felt like one launched upon a desperate adventure. The lovely, llghted-up smudge across the river looked equal to anything. Met a Great White Knight. But here la a knight to the rescue of the lonely maiden. Was I alone? Could he be of any service? He was a sedate, oldish business man, a proper knight, one could see, and If he would “how me to a Broadway car, I would go to a hotel. Reaching Broadway, this m what he said: "Suppose you come to my hotel at Forty-second street and Broadway, and we can have some din ner and go to a show, and you can go out to your friends in the rooming.” hnight, Indeedl "Sir,” I said, ”1 know you. I have r-ail all about you In O. Henry’s stories,” or words to that effect He hadn’t read O. Henry, but seemed wlll- mg to take my word for it Going Into the nearest hotel, I hired * messenger boy os pilot and set sail upon the stream of Broadway, arriving »t my proper haven without encounter mg any waves other than marcelled "nee. I think any young woman who ‘ an read signs printed In black and ''htte or In flesh tints, ran travel to New York alone. The others would do mtter. perhaps; coming up on a bridal tour. We have all heard that women are not treated as courteously here as they are In the South, and If men wearing a bit disappointing. Of course, home, where there’s nothing to do after sup- tier except go to prayer meeting or alt on the hotel porch. Is no preparatory school for a proper understanding of Broadway. I can easily see that It Is a very bubbly sort of place, and one can only wonder if King Solomon’s proverbs would, have been as good as they are now if he had known Broad way, or If they would have resembled the average newspaper humor. 1 think he would have liked-having his name spelt In winking electric letters as the author of something new under the sun, and his Judgment as to beauty 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. Idle sunset face, surrounded by cloud like draperies, would look like a bird of paradise amid a flock of barnyard herfs In my town, where the paintings most In favor represent old castles inlaid with mother of pearls. Where the coun try belle blooms In white muslin and misses nothing that’s her clue, the New York beauty clamors with violent pink end lavender, with compelling perfume and persuasive blond puffs, for atten tion. Of course at places like the Wal dorf-Astoria one sees genuine beauties occasionally, but they look as expen sive as hothouse orchids. I hare an Impression that the Venue de Milo. In life and a modern shirtwaist, looking for a physical culture restaurant on tower Broadway, would stand small 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. Leigh, and M. L. Duggan of Sparta. Western Union Office Closed. Bpeclnl to The Georgian. Anniston, Ala..

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 anybody wno looked as If he had time to read patent medicine ’’ads” and dis cover how alck he Is. Perhaps here It Is only the fittest who survive and they always look Jit; they look full of the Juice of life. I suppose New York has her darlings who know how to work for her and please her, and to those she Is kind. Downtown in "Rush Hours.” All other "first Impressions” fade be side a first view of downtown during eton. rush hours. The moving streams of 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.
