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.

. tie river near Newbci rv Sunday
afternoon while bathing, Hr stopped
nto a hole quite over his head. Hi*
body wax found Sunday nigh!.
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

appointed elerk i>f the supreme court \

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

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
