??-!-i ? ' ? SAM M'GOWAN FLEET PAYMASTER Admiral Badger Shows His Esteem for South Carolina Officer by Giving ii iin Position of Honor. Washington, Nov. 12.?Orders have just been Issued here detaching Pay Inspector Samuel McGowan from duty at the navy pay office, Philadelphia, December 2. Mr. McGowan, who Is known in South Carlolna as "Sam McGowan," has been nskcd by Admi ral Badger, who will command the Atlantic llert when It sails from New York a.Inuary 5 to become fleet pay master and the South Carolina naval olllcer has decided to accept the billet. Although Mr. McGowan has served all his sea duty and Is not required again to make a cruise, the choice of becoming fleet paymaster was so much to his taste and so much better than remaining In Philadelphia that he has Indicated his willingness to sail with the fleet. Mr. McGowan is no w<w?ce in the naval service. Entering the navy In 1894 he has seen much duty both on land and sea In 1908 he was named by the secretary of the navy as fleet paymaster and made a memorable cruise around the world. He was de tailed to distribute food and clothing to the stricken people of Italy when that country was shaken by earth quake. After he returned to this country, Mr. McGowan had duty at Charleston, and from there went to Philadelphia. HM present assign ment is one of the very best that could possibly he had and the fact that he was requested by Admiral Badger to become one of his shipmates shows his unusual popularity In the naval service.?The State.
