*'^*'^rlnK to tho description of the
youths being sought (or question.
In connection with the killing of
'j year old Robert Cashwell, Char^
fimng sUtlon attendant Ij^
Sknmday evening, were placed in the
IS Jail after being taken Into
^todr on Highway .No. 1 between
^ city and Blaney by Magistrate

Taesday afternoon, Detectives Mc-
r-oii and Bohrlln of the Caiarlotte po
ll^ department, arrived bore to ques-
,}on the two young men. Later tho
Jetectlves announced that they were
lot the assailants of the filling station
jperator.
The two men gave their names as
DVilllam Scherer, age 28, a member of
’empany C, IBth Battalion, 4th Regl-
uent, and Albert Merrlhew, age 23,
I member of Co. C, 10th Battalion, 3rd
Jeftlment, Camp Gordon, Augusta,' Ga.
kberer said bis home was in Ohio
ind Merrlhew was from New York
(Uie. They adinltted being AWOL
rom Camp Gordon.
The Charlotte crime was a partlcu-
irly heinous affair, the aged filling
itation attendant being so brutally
(eaten that he died while being taken
0 a hospital. Tho guilty parties were
lescribed as being two youths of
(bout 20 years of age each. Before
lying Cashwell. the filling station
nan, had managed to print on a piece
»f paper the words "two boys.” The
rouths were traced as far as Rock
{ill and thence ^ to Richburg near
'hester.
Sunday afternoon Magistrate Nelson
4 Blaney received word from Rddfe
loss, a Blaney ^resident, that two men
rearing- army trousers, were walking
long No. 1 highway toward this city.
Celson, with Ross, started out to in-

tlnue to buy bonds. There la a great
and increased neeo for Implementa of
fighting has become
intenhifled. FYom all reports we have
the enemy on the run and we need
the supplies and ammunition to keep
pressing them back.”
Chainnan Benet In a statement Is
sued from his headquarters in (Co
lumbia atated that la making Its
over-all quoU In the war loan cam
paign. South Carolina has once more
shown that It has' Its heart in the
war and that It has the will to win.
“For the sixth time, the people of
this state, ita buainess and its institu.
tlons have loaned more of their money
than the government lum asked. The
quotas we were assigned seemed hnge
for a small state but South (Carolina
always achieves them. The recoil of
these campaigns is a 'splendid one.
As state chairman. I congratulate the
people and I congratulate and thank
the unselfish men and women who in
every county, work as s patriotic
service, in selling bonds in these
campaigns. I have had the honor of
serving as chairman during four of
these drives and that experience has
greatly increased my pride and con.
fidence in Sofath Carolina and its fine
peoplCi"
In the effort to speed up the sale
of E bonds in Kershaw county, Mr,-
Benet suggests to the local commit
tee chairman. Mr. Heyman:
‘‘In this final week of the sixth
war loan campaign the situation looks
reasonably good with the exception
of E bond salee. We suggest two
plans to remedy this situatioo- One,
to make all possible use of schools,
theaters, service clubs and other org
anizations in a final clean-up sale of
bonds to small investors. Two, to
make a list of larger buyers and ask
them to help out by buying an extra
31,000 bond. Many of them have been
buying other issues and can buy sub-
suntial blocks of B bonds without
exce^ing their purchase (or the year.
Also many of the larger individual
buyers do not underttand co.owner-
ship purchase plan on E bonds. If
the two plans mentioned are followed
we believe yon will have no difficulty
ks soaking your B bond quota. Let's
do the Job and assure our men in the
armed foires of our support."
