1t is stated that the prohibitlof
bill that is to pass congress will pre-
vent the keeping or making OF even
a gallon of blackberry wine by oul
house wives. Now if they will just
say that we shall not even eat anc
not drink any of the cold concoct!ons
the thing will be getting where II
should.
And yet strange to say with all OF
these Chou shalt not" laws we are
having a wave of crime all over the
country such as was never heard OF
before. Gov. Cooper says homicide
in South Carolina for every day in
the year. Why not prohibit the use
of pistols and guns and bowie knives

The Columbia road from Prosper.

The Columbia road from Prosper
ity to Chaplin is said to be almost I'M
passable. The contractor on the new
road from Prosperity to Little Noun,
tain has of necessity to plow up the
road in the grading and surfacine
and during this rainy season 1T makes
bad for travel. When it is completed
we will have fine section of road
but the trouble is there will be 81
little of it,
While at Prosperity on "Wednesday
we were told that the only way nov
to get to Columbia in any sort >o1
comfort was to go down by the War
ner place and the Swilton schoo
house and at Mr.. Henry Wheeler:
old place take theroa out to Chapir
that has been put in fairly good con
dition by DR.. J. S. Wheeler and those
who are running saw mill at that
place and delivering lumber at
Chaplin. And they say that the dis
tance is very little further.

| No, no, dear friend, that does not
refer to our own Rosemont. There
; is not a mistake in the name. Silver
Brook is in Anderson and the clip
ping is from the Anderson Tribune.
We are just printing it to let you
read about how they keep their GEM
etery over in Anderson, and We could
tell YOU a whole lot about how they
keep the cemeteries in other places,
but our trustees are very sensitive
and they would 60 right out and say
that we were knocking NewbeTy,
when as matter Of fact, bless your
dear soul, the record will bear out
the statement that we have done
more to defend old Newberry and
her people, and to boost her and
hem, than any dozen or two Of the
zig millionaires of the town or the
title ones either.
But now, honest, don't you agree
with US that it is a crying shame that
we would let our own beautiful To-
lcated Rosemont remain in such con-
dition as you can find it right now.
If you don't believe us just get in
your limousine and take run over
and look at it for yourself.
Rosemont cemetery is growing
more and more deserted and neglect
ed looking every day, and if there is
a keeper he must keep all to himself,
for there is nothing to indicate that
he is untiring in his efforts to make
the silent city attractive. No, that
all has reference to Silver Brook over
i'm Anderson and to Keeper Smith
of the Silver Brook cemetery, and
not Rosemont. But maybe some day
our trustees will devise some plan
by which even the owners of lots and
those who have dear ones sleeping
there may be able to be permitted to
do something. Even if one person
should keep his lot well the roadways
are bad and the grass and the weeds
and neglect of other lots mars the
beauty of the whole.
We are not knocking, we are SIM
ply trying to beg that the trustees
of Rosemont will fall upon some plan
by which the entire place may be
kept as it should be.

that you recognize that the child has

M'KISsICK'S UNIFORM
FOUND IN BRUSSELS.
Gorgeous Raiment of Colonel OF
Governors Staff Adorns Back of
Hotel Doorman.

The State.
Greenville, July 12.-Col. J. Rion
McKissick, formerly member of
Governor Manning's staff, one Of the
genial hosts at the recent press con-
,vention here, has just made novel
discovery of the whereabouts Of a
gorgeous uniform which he wore
when the governors staff was called
upon to lend dignity TO numerous
public affairs. The discovery is an
other proof Of ''it pays to advertise,
though Colonel McKissick IN this case
was not the advertiser, and, as it de-
veloped, was not bent upon tracing
his uniform. He had forgotten all
about it, as matter of fact, until the
other day he read Columbia story
to the effect that an army officer
who had just returned from over
seas declared that he saw the door
man at one of the big hotels in Brus-
il sells wearing a uniform that was once
worn by member of the staff OF
governor of South Carolina.
! The officer said he was at the ho-
tel in Brussels one day when his at
tention was attracted to the uniform
worn by the doorman. 1t looked
strangely familiar, being a brilliant
navy blue with quantity Of gold
braid across the front and shoulders,
and having the initials IS. c." on the
collar. Upon closer inspection ne
found that every one Of the dozen
or more shiny brass buttons on the
coat was adorned by the familiar pal
metto tree.
! The doorman did not speak Eng
lish, so the officer hunetd around un-
til he found an interpreter and then
began to make inquiries. According
to the story which he was able to
piece together, some time last year
there was a drive in the United
States for second hand clothing for
the benefit of the Belgians and this
gorgeous uniform, once the pride of
some member Of a governors staff,
was in one of the boxes of clothing
received at Brussels.
The hotel doorman had secured the
uniform and, having it cut down to
fit. had donned it and had worn 1T
ever since. The doorman was I'M
mensely proud of the uniform and
firmly believed that it belonged to a
field marshal of the American army,
long since deceased, and that his
family, out Of their generosity, had
donated it to the Belgians. There
was nothing about the uniform that
would identify the original owner
the officer said.
; Colonel McKissick happened to
read the story and casually comment
ed that he was satisfied the uniform
seen in Brussels was once his. He
turned in his uniform with some 9th
er clothing when a collection Of gar
ments was made at Camp Sewer last
wear for the relief of the Belglans.
At that time the Greenville news
paper man was preparing to enter
the military service and he thought
! he would have no further use for his
gold braided, navy blue uniform. 1t
was dumped into the mound of cloth
ing at Camp Sewer and shipped
across the water. A year elapsed,
and the news now comes that the
gorgeous uniform has gladdened the
heart of hotel doorman in Belgium.

DEATH IN THE ROAD.

| The ACCIDENT Wnlcn DrOugnt an uH-
timely end to Mr.. A. Leroy Bethea of
Dillon, yesterday, is one which may be
the fate of almost any one who uses
the roads Of the State today. Auto
mobiles driven by reckless, careless
and heartless people dash up and
down our highways with little heed
to what is before them. State traf-
fic laws, such as they are, are disre-
garded and there is a neanress about
some drivers which, even though they
do one no harm, is most despicable
and arouses the deepest sort of re-
sentiment. 1t is the common report
f travellers that along the mountain
roads, some drivers of cars running
their machines at forty miles the
hour and faster, do not give any road
at all but force all whom they meet
to give them all the right of way.
There must be some drastic regula-
tions and some real effort to enforce
them both in towns and in the coun-
try. There is plenty Of room and
plenty of time for every family in
this. State to enjoy automobile driv-
ing on the roads of the State and it
is not. necessary to monopoize the
roads or to endanger the lives and
property of others in doing so.-The
Greenwood Index-Journal.
This was clipped from the Index
Journal several weeks ago, but it is
still true, and there have been many
accidents to the credit of the auto
since Mr.. Bethea met his death in
the road.
There can be no doubt that there
will have to be some very drastic
laws on the subject of the road, and
they must be enforced, if we are to
be able to travel the road with feel
ing of any degree of safety. 1t is a
pity that we have to pass laws and
try to enforce them on matter of
this kind. 1t would seem that the Or
dinary rules of human conduct and
the proper regard for the rights of
others would dictate the care which
we should all take in driving the
road.
1t is too true that there are many
people who are now driving the road
who seem to have absolutely no re-
gard for the rights of the other fel-
low in the road, and even little re-
gard for their own safety.
1t is going to be very difficult
matter to enforce any law of the
road unless we have a regular stand
ing army of officers for that purpose,
unless the drivers themselves have
some regard for the proper amenl-
ties of life. Even in the town where
we have regular police officers, it is
very difficult to enforce any road
regulations. For instance, the law
says keep to the right, but IN this
town how many do you see who have
any regard for the law This is not
a town ordinance but State law,
and should he a citN ordinance.
