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.

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. _
