On the front cover of this issue we show 
an illustration of the ornamental iron en- 
trance gates and fence enclosing beautiful 
Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, S. C. The 
picture brings out very forcibly the beauti- 
fying effect of a suitably designed and well 
built iron fence and entrance gateway. 
And it has other advantages, such as pro- 
tecting the grounds and preventing van- 
dalism. It is an improvement that every 
modern cemetery should have, and from 
the large number of cemetery associations 
who are installing iron fence, it would 
seem that the big majority are alive to its 
many advantages. 
There are few cemeteries in the country 
that are prettier in their general scheme of 
landscape and natural scenery than Mag- 
nolia Cemetery, and it is given the neces- 
sary care and attention to keep it always 
up to the highest standard of modernism. 
That its superintendent, officers and direct- 
.ors are thoroughly progressive is shown in 
its splendid condition. 
The fence and gates represented in our 
illustration were designed, built and erect- 
ed by The Stewart Iron Works Co., Cin- 
cinnati, O., in June, 1914. The contract 
consisted of approximately 2,000 feet of 
fence, two walk gates and a pair of drive 
gates. The latter is 14 feet wide; the walk 
gates 4R> feet wide ; the fence is 6 feet 
high, constructed of J4 _ inch square pickets, 
set diagonally and spaced 5 inches on cen- 
ters; line posts are 1 inch square with 
8x8xl-inch cast iron bottom plates, 24-inch 
braces and set 30 inches in the ground. 
This is in every sense a cemetery en- 
closure of more than average style and 
dignity.
