WONDERf?L RESULTS AT LAHRENS CEMETERY] Following the Determined Campaign of the Local Papers and the Civic League the League the Last Resting Place of the Laurens Dead Is Mow In Beautiful Condition?Movement Must be Kept Going. JuBt a little more than a year ago, The Advertiser entered actively Into the effort to reclulm and protect and Improve and beautify Laurens Ceme tery. The following ertracts are quot ed, respectively, from Its editorial columns of September 11 and October 12, 1910; "It is not often that a community so enlightened and refined is compell ed to silently submit to such an ar raignment appeared last week In another Column of this paper with reference tc cemetery desecration In Laurens. "But, when the accusation Is so ab solutely true (and withal so kindly In tone) It is nol enough to simply hang our beads and say: 'Guilty as charged?' "It Is one thing to negatively allow to arise the conditions therein so ac curately set forth. It is another and an entirely different thing 'o knowing ly permit stich conditions to continue after they have been plainly brought to publio notice " "ruder the caption. 'For the Honor of Laurens." our local contemporary published the week following an edi torial from which, with entire and most hearty concurrence, we quote: "It ha* been a long time. Indeed, since any proposition placed before the people of Laurens has met wdh such immediate and general approval as that to enclose and improve and beautify the graveyard. "Starting with an appeal through the newspapers, the first overt act was done when the ladles of the Civic League determined to give the project the weight of their powerful influence; and, almost at the moment that they put the facts and their plans squarely before the community, Laurens re sponded?as she always has. and. dease God, always will?to the call of duty. The exp use involved Is so small as to be absolutely insignificant if borne In common by all who have a kindred interest there; whereas the cost and the trouble added together are as nothing compared 1o what we habitually bestow on our living loved ones and in particular on ourselves. "It is aot therefore, merely a ques tion of sentiment or a matter for the Civic League to struggle along with. It is a profound question affecting the every day life and duty of each one of us; and every man and woman old and young In Laurens ought to constitute a self-appointed committee of one to lend every possible effort towards this most laudable undertak ing with money and with time and work and most particularly and con tinuously with words of encourage ment. "All honor to the Civic League, for they are the pioneers and to them be longs the credit of having roused the community from a lethargy into which 't is devoutly to be wished there may never be a return. "But, now that the question Is squarely before us and the issue Is plainly joined, it is our manifest and undeniable dutv to act and continue lo act. so that we may not be un \vorth> of those who went before us? remembering always, that fn honoring the men and women of a day that is I dead, we honor ourselve s indeed." "The Herald is eminently correct throughout; for, as has been repeated ly pointed out in these columns, the ?tuest ion is absolutely fundamental and can he answered in but one way. "The movement, possessing as It does so much intrinsic merit, should not he permitted to lag Tor a single moment; but. on the contrary, the concerted effort now so active should be uninterruptedly continued until there has been prelected a permanent organization - pr, ?;? rably incorporated Whoso filia tion it will be to foivvei protect and keep cl/ap and beautiful the place whe:.? ||e the bodies of our sainted dead. "It can be done. "It will be done and that without de lay unless we totally misinterpret what seems to be the now thoroughly awakened and solemnly determined public sentiment of this community.'' The Advertiser did not misinterpret the public sentiment of the community ?as evants of the year have abundant ly demonstrated. These events moved qulcly and gain ed momentum day by day. Money from individual subscriptions was forthcoming in sufficient amount to begin actual work at onco. An Executive Committee with power to act promptly appointed by the Hoard of Cemetery Trustees, this com mittee consisting of Mrs. It. \V. Ball, chairman, Mrs. T. Foster Simpson, Mrs. Sue 11 lx Adams, Mrs. Edgar Mar tin and Miss Mary Ferguson with Mrs. Alken as special treasurer. A high wire fence was erected all around the cemetery grounds, a four foot rock retaining wall was built along the street front and surmount ing this a terrace sodded with Bermu da grass. Roads were laid out and graded, drains provided, walks out lined and new lots mapped off and prepared for selection and sale. As soon as the municipal authorities turned over to the committee the cem etery cottage, it was rented for a small monthly sum which materially increased, however, the meagre finan ces at their disposal. Then a "main tenance fund" was started?each lot owner who pays three <?:*.) dollars a year being entitled to have his or her lot kept in order; and, with the money thus obtained, the committee pa,ys a competent colored man who spends his whole time there and. when ho is not busy keeping individual lots in or der, works on the walks and roads and terrace. This man is allowed to water flowers and do other extra work af ter hours for individual lot-owners on condition that he he not In any way diverted from his paramount duty and provided that (In addition to the pre scribed $ii a year) there be paid to the man himself such compensation as may he agreed upon between lot owner and caretaker (preferrably with full knowledge and approval of the committee). The most recent improvements were completed last week and were, except ing of course the original fencing, the most important and noteworthy thus far accomplished. The section of high wire fence between the cemetery prop er and the cottage was moved south ward so that now the cottage yard is only a yard, whereas a considerable area has been added to the graveyard. This new space on the gently slop ing hillside along the south boundary fence has been divided up and marked off into lots 20 feet by 18 feet, the walks between being six feet wide, north and south and four feet wide, east and west. (These lots, about thirty in number, are now available for selection; and application therefor should be made at once by persons desiring them.) The cemetery cot tage has been put In excellent order by the carpenters, painters, plasterers and plumbers at a total cost of about $H2.r>; and a high wire fence has been installed between it and the next adjoining yard. Down the newly es tablished fence line of the graveyard (and outside of the newly-laid-out lots) runs a 22-foot driveway; and this road parallels the old north and south driveway to the northeast corn er of the occupied part of the cemetery where it circles around the hillside and joins the exit roadway construct ed last yaar. In addition to the work already noted, a number of drains and waterways have just been comple ted ?these being but the beginning of a comprehensive system of grading and drainage by which it is intended In the near future to protect and beauti fy the whole hillside. Improvement and beaut ideation of individual lots have kept pace with the very great improvements made by the committee in the cemetery as a whole; and no one who visits the place now can fail to be Impressed with the fact thai Laurons Is at least much more ready now than she was iasl year to he measured by the criterion establish ed by Webster when he said: "Show me your Cemotorlos, and I will tell you tvhal your people are!"
