It was built by Colonel Patrick Cuningham, a na tive of Ireland. Burned in 1930, the house was on the southwestern skie of the Laurens-Greenwood highway a mile or two from the Saluda river. The place was developed into one of the most elaborate country seats in the state about 1630 by Louisa Cuningham, wife of Capt. Robert Cuningham, third son of Patrick. She was the mother of Pamela Cuningham, who con ceived the idea of buying Mount Vernon and preserving it for fu ture generations. E. D. Easterby, of Ljuiens, has contributed a full scale replica of Rosemorrt Manor which will be used as a background for the show. The show will be held in the arm ory from 3:30 to 10 p. m. and ad mission will be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children.

Also in Cream Glove leather. as seen in Seventeen By CORNELIA HARRIS Rome, the eternal city, certain ly came up to all expectations and more as one must return there, supposedly, after dropping a coin in the (Fountain of Trevi. We were there four days, com ing from Venice and San Marino, the smallest and oldest republic in the wrold. While there, the general election was about to take place and voters were choosing between Christian Democracy or Communism, but the latter won by a majority. Probably the most thrilling ex perience was attending the opera, "Aida’’ at the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla. which dated back from the third century. Nothing could surpass the splendor of scen ery and staging as found in Italian opera. One scene had a chariot pulled across the stage drawn by four horses, who marched across the stage like born performers. Another scene, by the banks of the Nile, had two camels that performed gracefully. The catacombs of St. Sebastian were about four levels and eight miles long, being lighted only by candlelight, and was the place where Peter and Paul sup posedly were buried temporarily. These catacombs were dug out of rock by the first Christians around 60 A. D., but were not discovered until 1915. A carriage ride through the city proved to be a delightful ex perience and we saw several places we hadn’t seen previous ly. We stopped at the Trevi Fountain and had our picture made by a photographer there throwing a coin in, and were real glad to get the picture the next day as though we might have thrown our money away. It was hard to imagine being at the Roman Forum, seeing where Julius Caesar was murdered and Mark Anthony stood. Ruins of many temples, columns and buildings remained, but we didn’t walk around there as a small ad mission was charged and didn’t have time to get back again. St. Peter’s Bascilicia was very large and full of many statues and sculptures, and it was hard to grasp the magnitude. One could stand by h statue on one side, looking across to an identi cal one, and be barely able to dis tinguish the features. The dome of the church was 400 feet high and some girls on the tour climb ed to the top. Confessions are heard in 12 languages there. The walls and ceiling in the Sistine Chapel were magnifcient, being “The Creation*’ and "Last Judg ment” by Michelangelo, which took seven years to paint. The chapel was so crowded with tourists and guides speaking so many languages that we could hardly . understand what our guide was saying . The Vatican museum was full of many an cient Roman vases, dishes, sculp tures, etc,, and we were pretty tired after walking there con tinuously for two hours, but it was most interesting, especially in the world acthate-khs-tcshrdl the library which is about a mile long and the largest in the world One could stay in Rome for several weeks and never tire as there is so much history. Those who saw “Three Coins in the Foutain" could get a pretty good idea of the fountain, Spanish steps, and huge walls around the city. Pompeii was destroyed by Ve suvius about 79 B. C. in three days and three nights and it was interesting to walk among the many ruins, seeing a house that remained, full of frescos on the wall with colors beautfiully pre served. Sorrento and Capri were beau tifully located on and in the blue waters of the Mediterranean. While on Capri, we went swim ming and shopping, in addition to entering the Blue Grotto by small rowboats, where the water was crystal clear blue, caused by the sun’s rays. We regretted not riding around the island more but will save that for next time. We also made a stop in Naples for lunch at a restaurant over looking the bay, although most of the city is very filthy and most of the people poverty-stricken. Florence is full of many art museums and cathedrals and wasn’t among one of my favor ite places, since I don’t know en ough about art to appreciate it. The architecture there is very ornate and many buildings are similar to the Bell Tower, which had pink, red and green marble on the outsdie. The most impressive statue there was “David”, by Michelan gelo, which was done when he was only 28 and is 15 1-2 feet high.. Everything about the statue was perfect, including a most impressive facial expres sion. • We also visited the Italian Riviera and stopped for a night at a very elaborate hotel in Santa Margherita, and regretted not staying there longer. I As we were in Italy ‘ for two weeks, we got a good idea of the country and came to the conclus ion that after Rome and Venice, the rest was about like Florida. CARL D. ROPER Laurens, Oct. 10—Funeral ser vices for Carl David Roper, 65, who died late Friday afternoon, were conducted Sunday at 4 p. m. at the Fint Baptist church by the Rev. J. E. Rouse. Burial was in Laurens city cemetery. Union Downs Clinton, 7 To 6 Union. Ot. 7—Union high's Yel low Jackets grabbed • hard earned 7-6 victory over Clinton high’s Red Devils here (Friday night before about 2,500. Both teams scored in the first period and then battled scoreless through the final three periods. Union broke the scoring ice first after recovering a fumble on the first play for the touchdown. Oliv er converted and that turned out to be the margin of victory. Sease crashed over from the two to climax a 47-yard scoring drive by Clinton later in the first quarter. ' Clinton was inches away from pay dirt when the game ended, Rhame raced 38 to Union’s 20 and then Clinton moved inches shy of the goal only to suffer a 5-yard penalty. Clinton couldn’t get off another play as the whistle blew. The loss was Clinton’s first and their first time to be scored upon. Union’s only loss was at the hands of Spartanburg. Union 7 0 0 0—7 Clinton 6 0 0 0—6 Union scoring: touchdown — Farmer. Extra point—Oliver. Clinton scoring: touchdown — Sease.
