' Mr. Sylvester Wilson, who moved with his family from Fort Mill to Pleasant Valley section a few days ago, had the misfortune Friday night to lose his home and its entire contents by fire.

The poor showing made by the local team was said to be due to lack of practice and awkward team work. The boys are practicing each afternoon, however, and it is expected that within a short time the Fort Mill club will compare favorably with any team in the league.

Owing to the fact that there has been several changes and temporary appointments among the local carriers by reason of the I war. it is not known here which i of the four routes the above or-! der applies to. I "Jta" Outer TcUi rf Expldt. j The State a few days ago car- I ried the following: The modesty of a young we- i man is the crowning grice of 1 James C. Dozier, the York coun- I ty boy who is the only officer who has yet received the highest of all military distinctions, the congressional cross of honor. Before immpnap Cm ( lumbia Sunday, Lieutenant Do- 1 zier appeared and spoke earnest- { ly for the Victory Loan. There 1 were few in the audiences who 1 recognized in him the same Do- 1 zier who is one of our country's * heroes. * When the United States gov- \ ernment began to look around 1 for material which would be ' suitable for stirring the patriotism of the people of the country, * "Jimmie" Dozier was selected as , one of the dozen most remark- ( able achievements in the war. i The committe on publicity was \ not as kind to Dozier's State as 1 it was to "Jimmie" himself, for 1 every other one of the dozen he- ( roes whose exploits were depict- ' ed to be shown to millions was 1 accredited to his native State, while to Jimmie dozier was not t given any other identification * than that he belonged to the i "One Hundred and Eighteenth t regiment." That regiment got 1 3even of the 47 medals awarded to 2,000,000 of overseas men, so I , that is identification enough, per-' r haps, but South Carolina was not permitted to appear in the picture along with Jimmie Dorier, who was represented in action charging and capturing a . machine gun nest on October 8. Lieut. Dozier was asked about his adventure which won for ? him the medals of honor of two ?reat nations, for the British alio have decorated him. He spoke modestly of the exploit. "I was n charge of Company G, headquarters at Fort Mill, and we ivere advancing upon the German ine. They sent out half a dozen machine gun crews in advance jf their line. One was particuarly well advanced. I looked lown my line and saw the men ailing. Locating the source of .he trouble, I signalled my company to lie down and get as much ;oncealment as possible. I located a squad to fire just over , the heads of the German gunners so that they could not look >ver the top of the pit in which ;hey were concealed. I advanced jpon the machine gunners from in entirely different position and L A. il * - ' .-auK'ii mem unawares. At a v ugnal from me the squad quit I iring and I dashed upon the J nen in the hole. I "With me was Callie Smith, A is fearless a boy as ever lived. 1 Se had said that morning that E vherever I went he was going, I ind he stuck to me all through C ,he fight. He, too. was cited V ind decorated. He lives at the I Manchester mill at Rock Hill. A )ne of the German machine A junners was about to get me A vith his revolver when Callie A smith downed him. But for A hat I would not have been here I oday. Between us we knocked J >ut the entire squad of seven S nachine gunners, in this ad- J /anced position, and our other J squads then advanced in similar C nanner, keeping the Germans 1 iown in their holes with rifle L ire from one direction when we E vould pounce down upon them F vith squads from another direc- F ion. We wiped out all of the E nachine gun nests and captured V ibout 470 prisoners. 1 was shot S hrough the breast th^t day and A vas retired to a hospital for E veeks." E Before Lieutenant Dozier could A >e given any promotion in rank V he armistice was signed and he C :ame home a first lieutenant.
