x wua%> ? ~ J A THE STORY OF ROSEMONT (f ontinued From Page 6.) in council at Mount Vernon. They were moved to tears by the sad scene of desolation which met their eyes. The vice recents airain set to work to > ------ raise funds in their respective states. In their embarrassment they were ably assisted by Mr. G. W. Riggs of Washington, who advanced funds to aid in continuing the work of restoration. They also brought a bill be fore congress for indemnity for the use of the Mount Vernon boat as a transport for troops. After a long opposition the bill was passed and the $7,500 secured was used in repairing " TUico Mount vernon. nw jluio^ v/??x inghanvs last victory over difficulties and disappointments enough to have made any but an inspired spirit quail and succumb. When she retired from the regency she had just strength ^ enough to return to Soutli Carolina." In her farewell address to the board of vice regents she used these words: "Ladies, the home of Washington is in your charge; see to it that you keep it the home of Washington. Let no % irreverent hands change it; no vandal J hand desecrate it with the fingers cf progress. Those who go to the home in which he lived and died wish to see in what he lived and died! Let one spot in this grand country of ours be saved from change! Upon you t rests this duty." At Rosemont, the home of her ancestors, surrounded by the surviving members of her family, she died in the year 1875. Her great work will live for ages and will ever be a great and glorious monument to ner memX ory. Her dying request was that she should be buried in Columbia and she rests there today. The monument over her grave was erected by her nephews. If it were possible, how well would it be if her own home could be !^\ purchased and preserved. Future generations would find in it always much to attract and inspire. There are very few such old places left and none with so rich a collection of old and rare articles. \ Rosemont Today. Rosemont today inside is just as it was the day Miss Cuningham died and almost as it was 175 years ago. The carpet you see in the picture of the ? drawing room is 175 or more year old and is perfectly preserved. Its freshness almost belies its age, but of its age there is no doubt. Visitors arc cordially admitted by INIaj. Robert N. I Cuningham, who is the sole occu* '' ?"?b1 nroir n nTX7 s pant 01 tne piace. xnc usuai ?m... f is by the dining room entrance. This ^ entrance is' the one formerly used in bringing meals from the kitchen, \ "which in accordance with old time style, was in the yard. A brick walk connected the kitchen and the house. The kitchen was burned many years ago. In the dining room are seen the immense silver waiters used in bringing food from the kitchen. They can ( be seen stacked up one on the other in the picture. The family at one time Tvlofa eiltrOT ftaa among tne 5nv? pm i waiters as large as these, but they have disappeared. At the right of the entrance is a solid maho^nny sideboard. Its top is covered with pieces of hand-cut glass and genuine wedgefwood. Above the,sideboard is a portrait of Miss Pamela. At the right of the sideboard hangs a large steel engraving of Franklin at the court of Louis XVI. This is said to be one of the five originals of this picture. There are numerous copies smaller in -"? * 1? fiorVif ic n lnrcrp nil Size. uii iiguv 0- ? portrait of the father of 3Iaj. Robert Cuningham, a brother of Miss Pamela. Nearby are a group of old silf houettes of members of the family. These quaint pictures were much in vogue at one time. Opening the door \ of the china closet a sight is revealed ; which thrills the heart of every lady / visitor. Inside there is a display un/ like any in the country.

The most ? magnificent piece in this collection is the coffec urn, which is well displayed in the picture. . Many portraits adorn the walls. Most of the pictures were burned. The family moved to > Greenwood during the war and the house they occupied there was destroyed by fire. Over the mantel in the Hinin? room at Rosemont is a por v trait of William L. Yancey, the great - ^ secessionist. He was raised at Rosemont by his uncle, Capt. Robert Cuningham. Another portrait over the mantel is that of Taber, who was killed in a duel in Charleston by Gov. McGrath. . Maj. Cuningham's father was Taber's second. Maj. Cuningham, a thorough gentleman of the old school, does not share in the present day aversion to the "code of honor.' He has in his room a pair of duelling pistols and a sword used in duelling. They haVe seen use in their day. Leaving the dining room one enters a narrow hall separating the dining room and drawing room. The carpet hi cr? ?a?i n i? m i in i !? i mm pi i tmcma^c em in this room has been referred to. I Solid mahogany and rosewood furni-! 1 ture is in abundance. It was all made : before the art of veneering was in- 1 vented. On the walls are magnificent i r rencn piaie^iass hki i uis, iwuu-tuv , i Slass candlcsticKs with pendants.; i An old style lamp is on the centre la- <. ble. Old and rare books are in pro- < fusion everywhere and on this table t are three of the rarest of American c books. The top one is a perfect copy; cf Audubon's "Birds." The major; 1 has been offered $1,000 for it. The ] v>r>ni- vise kvnnp-ht a hisrher nrice even j KJ KS **VW " 0 C' * I than that.

It has : been often asserted that there is not jt another house in the United States so ' i filled with things of value to the col-' 1 lector, and it certainly would seem ro I be true. Upstairs are the bedrooms, j I Solid mahogany beds are in each j a room. On one of these is a spread of I ] the finest texture.

It is about four miles from Waterloo, six miles from Harris Lithia Springs, v 'and about ten miles from Greenwood, t if one dares to cross the river on a railroad trestle. c amf^m t ?.. ia i News From St. Philips : Prosperity, Nov. 8.?The weather I , has made a change and it is some- > what warmer. It looks as if we are going to have some rainy weather now. The Ladies Missionary society of St. Phillips met with Mrs. Allen Wick- ' er Saturday afternoon, November 5, c 1921. It was a very important meet- J ing as they elected officers for the j eomine: vear. Mrs. Baxter Kinard ^ was elected president; Mrs. L. V. Liv- -t ingston, vice president; Mrs. M. R. i ' Ruff, treasurer, and Mrs. Nettie Kib- ( ler, secretary. There were several in- * teresting pieces read by memebrs of t the society. Nearly all members I ^ were present, and after the election ^ of officers the meeting was closed, after which Mrs. Allen Wicker, assisted > by Mils Daisy Wicker, served jelly roil, tea and old-time pound cake, i ] The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Arthur Lominick. | The Young People's society was to have met Sunday night but owing to r some misunderstanding it failed to * meet. Mr. David Ruff is now busy sawing lumber for Mr. John Koon's house s .which he will begin working on as t soon as he can get the lumber in { shape. F ; Mr. G. H.
