county.
iRosemont Manor was one of the
oldest houses in the northern part
of South Carolina. 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.

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.

vices for Carl David Roper, 65,
who died late Friday afternoon,
were conducted Sunday at 4 p. m.

Union. Ot. 7—Union high's Yel

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
