He was “drafted” by the Red Cross for service in the Near East as disbursing agent, ,a service Which he performed without compensation. Admiral McGowan’s father, Captain . Homer L. McGowan, was a Confeder- ate soldier and after the war edited for some time the Laurensville Her ald; Admiral McGowan a few years ago delivered the Memorial oration here, surrounded by the- rows of beau tiful blooming rose bushes, which un der his~supervision had been trans planted into the Laurens cemetery. He likes the newspaper game and is a versatile writer. He is a devotee of athletics and is especially fond of football and baseball. He is descend- ' ed on both sides, from forbears promi nent in th^» legal profession hnd he is a lawyer himself.
