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 fire had gained
such headway before being discovered
that the family had
barely time to escape. Just how
the fire originated is not known.
Notable improvements have recently
been made in the equipment
of Hutchinson's Pharmacy
by the installation of new tables
and chairs, show cases, floor
covering, and a most well equipped
front for the soda fountain.
The service of cream and bevererages
is made mostsanitarv nn. 1

the appearance of the place is (
much improved. 1
In a practice game of hall on x
the fair grounds at Rock Hill
Saturday afternoon the Aragon
Mill team gave the Fort Mill
boys a neat trouncing, the score
being 15 to 1. 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.
The Civil Service Commission
at Washington announces that
an examination will be held at
Rock Hill and York on Saturday, !
May 24th. to fill the position of
rural mail carrier at Fort Mill.
Those desiring to try for the position
can obtain the necessary
blanks from the Civil Service
Commission, Washington, D. C.
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

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. F
