Tw# Rare Soldier Beyi De?d. A letter received a few days ago by Mrs. W..C. Armstrong, of this city, from her son. John Armstrong, with the local com- i pany in'France, brought the additional sad intelligence of the deaths in action of two more of Fort Mill's gallant soldier boys. These were Privates Carey Faris and Walter Leuzer. Mr. Armstrong's letter also stated that he himself had received a wound but was rapidly recovering in a British fieid hospital. Mr. Armstrong's letter did not give the date or particulars of the deaths of Privates Faris "and Leazer, but it is presumed they fell in the gallant charge of the the home company on or about October 9th, in which Sergeant Eli Builes lost his life and others of the company were wounded. Walter Leazer was a son of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Leazer, of this city. He was 20 years of age and enlisted with the local company when the call was issued for volunteers just prior to the company's entrainment for Camp Jackson in June, 1917. Private Faris was a son of Mr. and Mrs. I. L. Faris, of the Gold Hill community and was about 21 years of age. He, too, enlisted with the local company in < the spring of 1917. All honor to the memory of these young patriots who have criven their lives to the cause of humanity. Home Boys Commended. A copy of field orders issued by Brigadier General L. D. Tyson, U. S. A., commanding the Ffty-ninth brigade, which includes the troops from Fort Mill and Rock Hill, has been received J here and has been posted in the window of the First National bank. The order probably was issued about October 4th, and is especially commendatory of the valor of the men of the brigade, the statement appearing that these troops had accomplished what no other troops had been able to do in four years of hard fighting, viz, breaking through the main Hindenburc line The order continues its commendation in the manner in which the troops had pursued their advantage in chasing the Boches for seven miles and capturing more than 1,500 prisoners. Information has also been received by relatives here of F. Murray Mack, who left with the local company as first lieutenant, to the effect that he has received his commission as captain. Captain Mack is the youngest son of the late Rev. J. B. Mack, and has for a number of years been identified with the Fort Mill Light infantry. The same communication contained the information that Sergeant Frederick Nims, of Fort Mill, had been commissioned as second lieutenant. Along with the above information came a copy of a special order issued from headquarters of the Thirtieth division which read as follows: "About ten o'clock September 30th, near France, 1st. Sergt. Willie H. Nims and Privatp Hi>rhort T u-1? " * u. uaRer, OI Company "G" 118th Infantry, went out from the trenches occupied by this company for 150 yards under very heavy fire and attempted to carry in Private of the Infantry who was lying exposed to fire very badly wounded and unable to walk. Being unable to carry the wounded man in they remained with him rendering first aid assistance and signalled for assistance. Privates James Lee, Louis Kneese and William Locklear responded and these five men under very heavy shell fire carried the wounded man into the trenches. 1 'TV*oon mnw * X 1 IV>Ot 111 C 1 1 are mentioned in I this order for exceptional bravery on the battlefield." Older Men Called Later. The war department does not plan to call men within the draft up to 45 years by January 1, Secretary Baker said a few days ago in discussing press dispatches crediting John R. Mott, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., with saying that he had been so informed by Mr. Baker. "I am sure Mr. Mott has been misunderstood," said the secretary. "There is no such plan. The draft situation has reached substantially a normal flow, the men coming in about as fast as they are being shipped out. This will be continued." Secretary Baker said war work is not being slowed up because ! of the peace discussions. _ KING'S NEW LIFE PILLS | The Pills That Do Cure. We Buy Old False Teeth.
