SEEING NEW YORK. The editor of the Reporter, in company with a party of friends, visited New York the other day. Tnis was our first trip, and we found quite an i iteresting place. Court was evidently going on, as t iere were a good many people in town. We put up al the McAlpine, one of the best boarding houses in t »wn, with 1000 rooms. In response to our reques stay all night, the clerk informed us that he was fall, but made a special effort, and placed us comfort ably, we being from Stokes county. As things were r. i crowded, we spent a good deal of time on the roof. Tnat, however, was a delightful place. They eat and dance to the strains of a Napolitan band. Liveried waiters attend your every want. The bill of fare is elaborate. Beef steak costs you $1.60, cup of coffee 23 cents, half a cantaloupe 35 cents. On the MjAlpine roof garden living is high, being 25 stories f.'om the ground. After dinner, provided you have paid the waiter what cash you had left, they allow you a bird's eye view of the city. This is sublime. You are about as high up as Moore's Knob, and the view is quite as absorbing, though dilferent in character. You can see the East River on one side, the Hudson on the other, and the Battery in the distance, where the finest harbor in the world shelters storm-driven ships. The Statute of Liberty, presented by now bleeding Prance, adorns the beautiful river and bay. We took, among other things, a run up Fifth Avenue, the swellest street in the city, and saw the mansions of the mighty. "Millionaires' Row," it is called, where some sixty or seventy-five millionaires have built homes. We saw the stately palace oi our friend Buck Duke, who has chewed so much Stokes county tobacco. A tall iron fence keeps out intruders from Mr. Duke's gardens, which cost more than all the fine farms of Stokes put together. Visitors, however, are allowed to look at the place from the street, provided they keep moving. Mr. Duke is right up in (i in New York, and associates with the nobilii\«-the John D.'s, the J. IVs, etc. There are some right good sized business houses in the city, for instance the Woolvvorth, which is as tall as from the court house in Danbury to the jail, nearly. ' There is another house in which more people wjrk every day than live in Yadkin, Meadows and Danbury townships. The most striking thing about New York is the hurry of the people, the frenzied effort they are making to get somewhere. Facilities have not been provided fast enough for them to move from place to i place. The street railways, the overhead railways, and the underground railways, called the Subway, do not begin to handle the people. The sidewalks are crowded, while taxicabs and various other con- 1 veyances help in the work of transportation. One ; of our party thought the commotion meant a fire somewhere, and nearly ran himself to death. Finallv noticing that the tro?ible was stili on ahead somewhere, he aoket! a polijeman to direct him to , the center of the agitation. The cop replied : "Dunno what fell you say." 1 New York itself does not realize how big it is. Leaving out Illinois or New York State, the city is larger than any three States of the Union in popula tion. It eats $600,000 worth of ice cream every day, and drinks $700,000 worth >f beer every night. It contains thousands o: multi-mil ijnaires, an:l one of them can buy and pay for 400 counties like ours.! New York is 250 times as big as Winston-Salem. I This is only a part of our ideas of New York. The whole thing would require the space of the Encyclopedia Brittannica. TOBACCO SELLING SKY-HIGH. Mr. Sullivan Booe, of Walkertown, who bought tobacco on the Stokes market at Wa'nut Cove last fall, who will buy there again this fall, and who is at present buying tobacco in Eastern North Carolina, spent Sunday at Piedmont Springs, returning to Fairmont, Robeson county, Monday. Mr. Booe stated that tobacco is selling down East far and away higher than ever before known in the history of tobacco, and that it is the opinion of tobacco men, that the farmers are going to hit it right this time.; Mr. Booe said that grades which last fall sold at 10 to 12 are now bringing 18 to 20, and wrappers that brought 40 cents last fall are now bringing 50 and upwards. This will be hailed with delight by the Stokes farmers, many of whom have the best crops of tobacco in their lives. In some sections the crop is short and sorry, but taken all over the county, as a whole, the crop will be up to or ahead of the average, and if these prices continue our farmers will certainly be in clover without a shadow of a doubt. The crop in almost every section of the country outside of Stokes is 25 to 50 per cent, short. Then with Mr. McAdoo at the helm, who has already put up $500,000,000 to jnove the crops with, and says there is plenty more where that comes from, and that there shall be no money stringency--what is the reason we shall not have the greatest prosperity in Stokes this fall since the days when they rolled tobacco to Danville in hogsheads and got SI.OO a pound for it. THE WAR IN EUROPE. They are having a big war over in Europe, in which happily the United States has no hand. Wilson and Bryan have expressly stated that the quarrel is none of ours, and will stand off with their hands in their pockets. We are right glad it is this way. That war will cost millions of men and money and will change the map of {Europe. The effect of it is felt all over the world, and might have caused financial disturbances here, but for the prompt action of the New York bankers in closing the stock exchange till the storm blows over, and for the Washington administration's promptly putting up $500,000,000 cash to let the banks have, if they need it. In addition to this. President Wilson an nounces that the regional*banks will be in work ing operation in a few days. Thus all possibility of any panic is quietly nipped in the bud. All banks that have the collateral, can. if thay need it, get abundant help to meet any demands. The position of the American bankers is the strongest probably in the history of the country, and they were amply prepared for the shock which came with the an nouncement of the great war in Hurope. FINANCES AND THE BUSINESS SITUATION. Co!. John A. Barringer, of Greensboro, accompanied by his family, arrived at Piedmont yesterday to soend a few days. Col. Barringer is one of the leading lawyers of the Scats, and one of the best piste I men in the Siuth. His views on the situation •• '' •; to the effect of the European war on the business .11 . . nterests of America, will be of interest to the readersof me Uepjrter. He believes that while the immediate effect of the war may temporarily depress the price of cotton and tobacco, owing to oar limited shipping facilities, th;\ however, the net result will me n that America will grow rich. Trie Wash ington government is promptly taking the situation in hand, and Congress is going io mak.» ample provision for storing !> > h cotton and to'vicco, while the r.e.v flexible currency syste .1 vill iruke immediately available ample financial aid to meet any err. rger.cy. The administration anv.o irices that one billion doll irs is ready. So assuring his bee.i t! is information imparted to the country and to the banks, t!i it alre a ly the business and financial interests have adapted themselves t > the situation, determined to make the be.:tot'it and to reap the l/gitimate profits which the unusual opportunities offer. It is said that all th > g.-eat financiers are standing at the back of President Wilson, including Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, the \ nndcrbiits, the GoukU, the Armours, and all, with true patriotism determined that Am rij.in interests shall be protected and that the tanners especially shall not suffer from inability to market their products at good prices. The Fact Remains No amount of misrepresentation by the peddlers of alum baking powders, no jug gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis, or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of any kind, can change the fact that Royal Baking Powder has been found by the offi cial examinations to be of the highest leavening efficiency, free irom alum, and of absolute purity and wholesomeness. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable for making finest and most economical food. THE DANBURY REPORTER To The Public!
