All Honor to the "30th.**
The Times has received the
following from our young friend
Carey Patterson, with the 30th
division, A. E. F., which did
1. I ? 1 aI *
sucn vauant wora recently in
smashing the seemingly impregnable
Hindenburg line:
Divisional Headq., A. E. F:
A Oct. 1, 1918
Gen'l Order No. 33.
(1) The division commander
wishes to congratulate the 30th
division upon the success of its
first divisional action, and to express
appreciation of the courage,
gratitude and devotion displayed
by its personnel.
(2) To be given the task, in
its initial effort, to play an
important role in breaking the
Hindenburg line, the strongest
defenses on the western front,
and the fact that the breakthrough
was actually made on
the divisional front, is ample
evidence that the honor was not
misplaced, and is a credit to the
fighting efficiency of the division
and the command, of which
the undersigned has every
reason to be proud.
(3) The division retires temporarily
for reorganization and
well-earned rest, but with a
filing of satisfaction at a task
well done and with augmented
faith in itself.
(4) There is a deep and keen
regret for the gallant comrades
who have gloriously died, and in
the earnest intention of further
perfection as a combat organi
1ll.. IL. J!?
<>avivii, in uiurr inut me division
may do to the fullest extent
possible its share in bringing
about the early success of the
great cause in which they have
fallen.
(Signed) E. M. Lewis,
Maj-Gen. Commanding.
Headq. Infty, A. E. F.,
Oct. 4th., 1918.
Gen'l Order No. 22.
(1) The regimental commander
desires to express to the officers
and men of the regiment
his appreciation of their heroic
conduct in their first Battle.
(2) For five days the regiment
held the front of the
division sector, advancing the
lines and repelling an enemy
raid. In the advance the regiment
was assigned the most
important portion as the divisional
reserve. 1 he Second
Battalion and the machine company
were sent to reinforce the
list at the front line. Other
companies were engaged in trying
service, aiding the wounded
and burying the dead. All organizations
shared in the regiment's
contribution to the
division's great victory at the
Hindenburg line, once thought
impregnable.
(3) These are actions whose
mere recital must stir the
imagination. Men engaged in
such deeds have *won the right
to stand in the ranks of the
valiant.
(4) In this day of victory we
record our deep sorrow for our
comrades who have given their
lives to the cause. What they
have done will be remembered
so long as America honors valor.
(Signed) Orrin R. Wolfe,
Col. Commanding Infty.

Fort Hill's Celebration. .
P The first news of the defeat of
} the Germans reached Fort Mill
at 5:30 Monday morning and was
. heralded to the people by the
: ringing of the fire bell. The lo[
cal cotton mills were ready to
. begin operations for the day, ai
I but when the news spread the f*
operatives left their work and sc
I the mills stood idle. The graded b<
schools were to have opened **
j Monday, after a cessation of a
i month, bbt the tidings from the
front sent the children to the
street. The banks were closed di
during the day and the mer- Ci
chants sold out of all kinds of
ammunition. From the early Vt
Ijours-the main streets were ^
crowded with merrymakers and, ^
with the church bells ringing,
whistles blowing and guns nf J"
every calibre firing, the noise
exceeded anything ever seen co
here in the history of the town. Jj?
At noon Monday about 15 automobiles
headed by a big truck J?'
loaded with boys and girls supplied
with every kind of a noise- A1
maker and bearing a large U. S. _
flag on one side and the State
flag which is the property of the in
Fort Mill Light Infantry, now in ~~
France, on the other side, pro- <h
cegded to Rock Hill to contribute +
to the general glorification. The ^
trains passing through Fort Mill ^
consistently violated a city ordi- ?
nar.ce by sounding their whistles *
almost continuously while pass- ^
ing through. A union prayer .
a d thanksgiving service was 7
held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon f
in St. John's Methodist church, ?
which was conducted by the f
Rev. W. S. Goodwin, pastor, as
sisted by Dr. J. W. H. Dyches, f
pastor of the Baptist church, and +
