RAINBOW AT MARION Men of FamotiN Division To Reunite In Pee I>ee City The first day of the voyage to France a wonderful rainbow appeared in the sky. At St. N'azaire, an we debarked a rainbow was seen over the town and someoaie said "The good look omen again. She's small be cause we're yoyng, but watch u? grow." At the Lunev|lle area in l/orraine, | a beautiful rainbow appeared over the I German lines and every man felt a thrill as he mi\V i'v. (lood luck to the outfit. After a month, when at Baccarat, once more the heavens displayed our banner and again we felt destiny had guided uk. Then we were hurried to the Cham pagne and in a few days there was our rainbow ,again?red were the pop pies, white were the daisies and blue were the corn-flowers on the plains beneath, while arched high overhead vvan a glorious rainbow. With the colors of the United States and our banner so generously displayed by nature's great colonbcarer, tlx* Prus sian guard didn't even dent our line. The fog hung heavy in the valley of the Ourcq. The .sun was hidden by dull gray clouds?the sun shot a feeble ray down through the valley. The zero hour approached. Suddenly came a rift in the clouds. The mists began to rise and as they mounted higher a rainbow formed. Slowly it took shape, its colors deepened, its. arch lengthened and for a moment t stood forth in all its glory, so that all might see and know. Then came the night of September 11, when we were ordered into line at Siecheprey to "go over" at f> a. m. It rained all, of that blackest night. Five o'clock! Over we went! Crash tame the. rolling barrage! and then the morning sun glinted through the mists and once more unfurled the banner of the division. From Mount Sec clear across the rolling plains over which the fiot American army must make its way that (lay, was a mighty rainbow. At the famous Hois de Monil'aucon n the Argonne?the order' to go in m the left and attack! A night move into position! Morning and . a bril liant sun shining in spite of a light rain and then a marvelous rainbow <hown in the heavens. Wo arrived on the banks of tin* Rhine in the late evening. The next fay was beautiful, but about noon a .ight rain fell despite the fact that '.h<' sun continued'to shine, when over ?he valley?rrf?t+rr Rhine a monster ainbow appeared. One end rested n the niche of the?Lwa. mountains here the Rhine made its way to the sea, the other stretching far across the Rhine. There are many other accurately recorded instances of the appearance ?f this phenomenon during the cam: paign of this flivision. Another rainbow will be seen it the Rainbow Reunion at Marion. S. C., June JO and 11, 1925, and all Rainbow men aiio urged to l?e in the ine of vision at that time without fail.

HARRY I, MeCAW KILLED (Continual from J*age Or>e) quick superficial examination. "jje in dead," hi? said. A tiny trickle of blood showed whore a bullet had entered juvt over tb^ heart. No other ui?unds were visible. Sheriff Heise directed that the body be left as it was until the uu'oner, J. Hlakcly Scott, could bo summoned. Later a wound in the right breast was discovered. Near (In- left hand of Xhe dead man was his black felt slouch hat and a .'{J va.li.ber Smith <Si Wesson revolver, which on examination by the .sheriff proved to contain three empty shells and two undischarged cartridges. "I should say. he had ' been dead son\e 80 minutes," said J>r. La Horde, This would indicate that death was 1>i ae ileal ly instantaneous. Watchman Lucas said that he was walking around the State House on the concrete walkway that encircles^ the* building elose to the walls, and had just turned the southwestern cor ridor beneath the south pdrtico. The corridor was brilliantly lighted as usual. He oalled out, he aaid, and When he came abreast of the archway into the corridor he saw Mr. MeCaw earning toward him. "He was crazy drunk", said the watchman. "He said, '(! d- you, I've told you about Jock injj- these gates.' " Mr. McCaw, the watchman said, eontinued to walk around him and as he neared the gates started shooting. "1 felt some thing hit my right, shoulder," Watch man Lucas said. "1 started shooting and don't know how many times I ?shot, but I reloaded my pistol and the shells 1 threw out are right out there on the walk. He grabbed hold of the gate as he was shooting or I e would have fallen sooner." Watchman Lucas has an office at the opposite end of the corridor from whore- the shooting occurred. Mr. McCaw's office, adjoining the su-j premc court room, is in the main body of the capitol, at the eastern end of tin- basement corridor. Watchman Lucas, Sheriff Heist; said, would l>e committed early today to the county jail. He is a man of apparently f>.r> or ?>() years, married, and li\i s at 1 I l.r> Olympia avenue. He ha^ been on dut\ at the State Hon " for some years. Harry McCaw. formerly court ste nographer in the Sixth judicial cir I i iiit, was it native, of York and was j appointed elerk i>f the supreme court \ upon the d? ath of U. R.

Boosting Helps The ('oinniunil % I- ? j 1 overheard one of our best beloved | an I most influential ladies say today that she was never goin;;- to trade in Camden any more, which prompts this article. It has been said that Atlanta was built on "hot air", meaning that it. wav talked up from a straggling: village to the chief city of (icorgia, if not of tin- South. Rather than being a slur on the (icorgia metropo lis. to my mind tins is a rare com pliment. It means that Atlanta is composed of loyal, hustling citizens, who make the most of their oppor tunities. Boosting?intelligent, per >istent boosting helps to build cities and business iwstitutons. We, of Camden, need more of it. Really, don't you think that we have the best town in the country? If not, why not try to make it better, or else move out of it ? N'o com munity i- so perfect and so prosper ous but that it can be made more so. This our ta-k. This is oui op portunity.

TIIRKK NFX;ROES GUILTY Woman G?t? Recommendation Hut Boy? To Suffer Extreme Penalty Aiken, May 13.??After deliberating for nearly two hours, the jury in the cost* of Clarence Lowman, "Son" Ix?\v man and Bertha Uwman, charged with the murder of Sheriff H. II. Howard, near Monetta, April 25, brought in a verdict of guilty th<s afternoon shortly after f> o'clock. Uertha Lowman wan recommended to the mercy of the court* but there was no recommendation for Clarence and "Son" l.owman. Clarence l.owman was charged with having actually fired the shot that killed Aiken's sheriff, and "Son" and Uertha Lowman with being accessor ies to the murder. Judge Kice did not pass sentence this afternoon, but the verdict auto matically carries a life sentence so far as the woman is concerned and means that Clarence and "Son" Low man will be sent to the electric chair. Sentence will be passed Thursday morning probably. Tuesday .Judge Kice directed ver dicts of acquittal in the case of Bir die and Kosa Lowman, sisters of the three convicted negroes, it appearing that they had no part in the crime.
