1 he Kainbow Division made an un-|
usually good record during the World
r wa r and General Pershing compli
mented officers and men in the fol
lowing letter, addressed to the com-'
manding officer, in March, 1010:
: 'My Dear General. Flagler: It
| afforded me great satisfaction to in !
i speet the 42nd Division at Remagcu
I on March 10th, during niy trip i
. through the Third army, ami extend
! at that time to the officers and men
I niy appreciation of their splendid rec- 1
i ord while in France.
j "The share which the 42nd Divis
; ion has had in the success of our
i armies should arouse pride in its
, achievements among all ranks. Ar
j riving as it did on November 1, 1017 i
it was one of the first of our com-:
, bat divisions to participate in active
j operations. After a period of. train
ling which lasted through the middle
I of February, 1018; it entered the*
i Luneville sector in Lorraine and
I shortly afterwards took up a posi
tion in that part ot the line near
, IJaccarat. In July it magnificently
showed its fighting ability in the
Champagne-Marne defensive at which
time units from the 42nd Division
aided the French in completely re-!
i pulsing the German attack. Follow-!
I ing this, on July 25, the division re- j
flieved the 28th In the Aisne-Marne
[offensive and in the course of their
? action there captured LaCroix Rouge |
*erme, Sergy, and established them- 1
I selves on the northern side of the I
j Ourcq. ^ In the St. MLheil offensive I
J the division made a rapid advance
i -i, ^ kilometers, capturing seven
villages- and in the course of their
action, during the Meuse-Argonne
battle, it was twice put in line, first
i under the 5th corps and second under i
the 1st corps, at which later time it
drove back the- enemy until it ar
rived opposite Sedan ' on November
17th.
Since the signing of the armistice
j 42nd Division has had the honor
of being one of those composing the
Army of Occupation, and I have only
words of praise for their splendid
i conduct and demeanor in bringing
glory to American arms, and to their
fellows throughout the American Ex
peditionary Forces in their record.
My good wishes accompany your
command on its departure and will
remain with its member* in their
future careers
(Signed) Sincerely yours,
JOHN J. PERSHING.

A STUOENT Kl)K<il.AK
Held for Knterinjc Homo of Hanker j
at St. (ivurKf
St. George, May 17.? Confessing
that he entered the home of C. D,
Dukes, cashier of the First National
hank, for the purpose of robbery, A,
II. Caldwell, a student in the law de
partment of the University of South
< arolina, giving Florida originally an
his home, is in the county ja-i! chapp
ed with the crime.
Attracted by a noido which she be
lieved was due to tho falling of somo
object in tho home, Mrs. C. 1). Dukes
arose shortly after midnight this
morning to determine the eause of tho
wound ami was confronted by a mask
ed man at ono of the rear windows
flourishing a revolved of largo Cali
ber. Tho man ordered her U> keep
quiet. Mrs. Dukes had not awaken
ed .Mr. Dukes when she got up as
she did not feel that the noise indi
cated anything serious but foiling
to heed >he warning of the intruder,
screamed. Her calls brought tho
.banker to Uhe assistance of his wife.
?Mr. Dukes, after seizing. his revolve? v,
started in pursuit of the masked man,
?who by tfypt time had left. the win
dow where he was first seen by Mrs.
Dukes, and was attempting to enter
the front door. There he was con
fionted by Mr. Dukes, a pistol, duel
followed, Mr. Dukes firing twice and
his assailant tihree or four shots. Tho
front of tho house bears definite tes
timony to the exchange of shots, the
glass front of the door being shat
tered. The mark of another bullet j
was found just above the door.
As son as the alarm had been
given a number of citizens under the
direction of Deputy Sheriff ,T. L. pint^t
instituted a search for tho guilty
party: George W. Lindstedt, inspec
tor of the state highway department,
was one of the first to reach the scene'
and rendered great assistance in ap-l
prehending the man charged with the
crime. Sheriff (). B. Umehouse, al
though confined to his bod on account
of illness, got in touch with the situa"
tfon from his home in Sumntefville
land immediately sent special officers
I Clayton, Pointcl and ?), W. Mosso'vv
to the assistance of Deputv Sheriff
PJfttt.
Bloodhounds in charge of officers
Forbes and Chandler df Sumter reach
ed here shortly after the crime had
been committed, but CaldweLl had
?been apprehended before their ar-j
rival. They wore, however, put on j
the trail which led through' different 1
[streets und ended at the rear of the]
| .First National Bank where Caldwell I
had parked his car. The starting of!
'the ear at the rear of the bank had '
attracted attention of searchers and j
resulted in the capture of Caldwell, !
who was overtaken on Main street. '
When- first questioned the student |
denied any connection with the crime; 1
later, however, he made' a full confes- j
sion, officer^ reported, in the presence \
of Deputy Sheriff Piatt and the of
ficers from Sumter. Ho was persuad
ed, he said, to commit the deed by an j
accomplice, whose name he did not <
know. The shooting, he claimed, was j
done by the other person.
Officers, however, are not disposed
to accept his statement that he had
assistance. When apprehended Cald
well had a red handkerchief tied about
his wrirft and at that time it was not
thought that he had been wounded.
An examination by physicians after
he had been piaced in jail showed,
however, that he had received a slight
bullet wound in Che arm. In addition)
to the revolver and handkerchief he j
bad a pair of scissors, a mirror, a j
ball of stout cord and about 2f> car- j
fridges. There were several pieces,
t of the cord of different lengths which
had been looped in such a way as tot
indicate that it was intended to be j
used in haste.
Caldwell, taken before Mr. Dukes,
was identified as the person attempt
ing; to enter his house. The intruder
at t.he time of the attempted robbery
wore a moustache and as a mask a
red handkerchief, such as that found
in Caldwell's borrowed ear. Early this
morning a set of false moustaches
was found in the Pukes yard. When
returned to the Dukes home it was
noticed that he was dropping car
tridges to the ground and attempting
to bury them with his feet.
In hit confession the man stated
that his father had recently killed
ills son-in-law and seriously wounded
his daughter in Florida and a news
paper clipping in the man's grip,
which was found near the intersection
of the Waltertxyro and Orangeburg
roads, about six miles from St.
George, bears out this statement. The

RCFFIANS INJURE WOMAN
I ?!> Affair on Road Between Char*
lotto iiikI Rook Hill
Rook Hill, May 20.-? Mrs. H. I*
Simpson, wife of a prominent farmer
of this section, lies seriously and per
haps fatally injured her skull frac
tured in two places as the result of
having he on struck by a large atone
alleged to have been hurled through
the windshield of the automobile in
whieh she and her husband wore rid
ing about 1 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, according to the report of eity
and police officers, who are conduct
ing an investigation.
The affair occurred at a point
about one mile from the eity on the
Rock Hill-Charlotte highway, as Mr.
and Mrs. Simpson with their small
child were returning to their home
from Charlotte. A crowd of perhaps
a dozen men, alleged by officers to
have been drunk, were said by the
investigators to have been engaged
in a drunken brawl and to have hurled
the rooks as the ear passed.
Mr. Simpson escaped injury but
fclass from the broken windshield
painfully lacerated the child's face,
it was said. One arrest has already
been made, officers said, and addition
al arrests are expected.
'The large rock, bloodstained and
weighing more than two pounds, ?s
held as evidence.
Public Health Notes
During the mouth of April l(jr>
visits were "made. At this time much
of the work is toward trying to pre
vent sickness among the babies and
young children. Carelesseness re
'garding feeding of young children and
lack of right care when sick help to
(raise the already high death rate.
At present the Public Health Nurse
will be In ?e town of Kershaw every
Friday, anu in Bethuno every Wednes
day. This gives the people of these
communities an opportunity to know
a definite time when they can consult
-her.
Another child has been taken to
Columbia and is under the care of
Dr. Boyd. It is interesting to know
i that 35 crippled children have had
the opportunity during the past few
I years of receiving orthopedic treat
ment. Anyone who has a crippled
child can have him examined or treat
ed if necessary through Dr. Boyd's
j clinic.
j Special nourishment Cor some of
! our sick has been furnished through
| the co-operation of the ladies of our
j local churches.
This summer we are to have both
a tuberculosis clinic and a child hy
giene clinic, the dates of which will
be published later.
