ROSEMONT CEMETERY.
Complaint of Depredations in Silent
City Which Ought to and Must
Cease.

4 complaint has been made by per-
sons who have squares in Rosemont
cemetery. and who take a pride in
keeping these squares. that flowers and
delicate plants which have been
placed on the squares, have been de-
liberately pulled up by the roots and
taken away.
There should be something done by
which such depredations may be pre-
vented. We need to encourage our
people to pay more attention to the
keeping and the beautifying Of the
city Of the dead 1t is discouraging 10
those who are taking an interest in
beauMfving their lots to have the
delicate plants. which they have
placed there, pulled up and carried
away. We do not know what can be
done, but it seems to US that there
should be some protection from such
outrages.
We cannot understand why any
one should desire to efface squares in
this way, and it may be that it is
thoughtlessness on the part Of visi-
tors, but whatever it is, the owners Of
lots should be protected.

HANDSOME NEW CAR.
Mr.. Movers Chalmers Detroit Put
Through Severe Test on Trip
From Columbia.

1lOu- peO- -. -hOHt tl : Ildl!CSpulC
Chalmer>-Detroit automobile has az
rived. This car. purchased Through
the Gibbes Machinery Co.. Columbia,
S. c.. is Of the 1910 Model X" and
carries a 3O-horse power engine.
This car was put through severe
test Tuesday on the trip from Colum-
bia to Newberry.
The car was driven by Mr.. ". c.
Waldrop, of the Newberry Motor
company. In the party were DR.. F.
D. Mower. Mr.. McHardy Mower and
Prof. ". C. Bynum. The start from
Columbia Was made at o'clock IL
the afternoon. Fine speed was made
for orabouufourmiles out Of Columbia
probably forty miles al hour-at
which rate Of speed Newberry would
have been reached in something over
an hour. could THE speed have been
maintained. Four miles out Of Co.
lumbia. however, rain which-to the
party-vas like unto a cloud burst.
began falling. and the fall was heavy
and steady and continuous. And the
roads in Lexington were cay and
heavy clay. where they were clay. and
sand. and heavy sand. where they
were sand. And the holes in LeXlng-
ton roads we're numerous and deep.
In fact. the road from Newberry to
Columbia is almost a continuous sue
cession Of holes.
Notwithstanding heavy rain and the
heavy roads. the handsome and pow
erful car ploughed her way Through
water and mud, easily using all the
power which the driver dared give
her OH t1e heavy and rough roads.
When the Newberrv county line Was
reached the roads were better on to
'Newberry-but they. too. were bad
very bad. with the exception OF one
mile, and that was the mile recently
built between Newberry and Pros
perity under the direction OF Mr..
Tom, the government expert. When
this stretch Of road was reached, the
speed Of forty miles an hour was
again reached and maintained-bu
only for mile-this one mile OF gov
ernment road-this one mile. OF per-
manent road.
Mr.. Waldrop's driving was excel
lent. An expert was needed to bring
any car through such heavy road and
weather conditions, but with Mr..
Waldrop at the wheel there was no
hesitation and no delay. He is main
tanning the reputation which ne
made for himself as one Of the best
drivers in the South, when he plloted
the Atlanta Journal-New York her
aid ears from Greenwood to NeWber-
rv. and Newberry was reached at IL
p. m.
The car is one of the handsomest
ever brought to Newberry, and one OF
the handsomest made.
