' ] Mr. Sylvester Wilson, who i 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.

In a practice game of ball on the fair grounds at Rock Hill O 1 - .. 1 oaturaay aiiernoon 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. 1 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 war. it is not known here which of the four routes the above or-j der applies to. I Tha State a few day* ago carried the following:: * The modesty of a young woman is the crowning grace of James C. Dozier, the York county boy who is the only officer who has yet received the highest of all military distinctions, the congressional cross of honor. Before immense audiences in Columbia Sunday, Lieutenant Dozier appeared and spoke earnestly for the Victory Loan. There were few in the audiences who 1 recognized in him the same Do;zier who is one of our country's heroes. | When the United States gov; ernment began to look around j 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 remarkable achievements in the war. The committe on publicity was not as kind to Dozier's State as it was to "Jimmie" himself, for every other one of the dozen heroes whose exploits were depicted to be shown to millions was accredited to his native State, while to Jimmie dozier was not given any other identification than that he belonged to the "One Hundred and Eighteenth regiment." That regiment got seven of the 47 medals awarded to 2,000,000 of overseas men, so that is identification enough, perhaps. but South Carolina was 1 not permitted to appear in the picture along with Jimmie Do- , zier, 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 ol honor of two ! great nations, for the British al- < so have decorated him. He spoke modestly of the exploit. "I was < in charge of Company G, headquarters at Fort Mill, and we ' were advancing upon the German ! line. They sent out half a dozen machine gun crews in of their line. One was particu- ! larly well advanced. I looked ] down my line and saw the men ] falling. Locating the source of ] the trouble, I signalled my com- ] pany to lie down and get as much ] concealment as possible. I lo- 1 cated a squad to fire just over . the heads of the German gun- ] ners so that they could not look ] over the top of the pit in which ] they were concealed. I advanced ] upon the machine gunners from 1 an entirely different position and caught them unawares. At a 1 signal from me the squad quit 1 firing and I dashed upon the . men in the hole. ] "With me was Callle Smith, i as fearless a boy as ever lived. r He had said that morning that 1 wherever I went he was going, 1 and he stuck to me all through < the fight. He, too. was cited ^ and decorated. He lives at the 1 Manchester mill at Rock Hill. 1 One of the German machine 1 gunners was about to get me 1 with his revolver when Callie I Smith downed him. But for i that I would not have been here 1 today. Between us we knocked i uut the entire squad of seven !: machine gunners, in this ad- J vanceci position, and our other J squads then advanced in similar ( manner, keeping the Germans T down in their holes with rifle I fire from one direction when we I would pounce down upon them I with squads from another direc- 1 tion. We wiped out all of the 1 machine gun nests and captured 1 about 470 prisoners. 1 was shot ? through the breast th^t day and i was retired to a hospital for I weeks." ' I Before Lieutenant Dozier could 1 be given any promotion in rank 1 the armistice was signed and he ( came home a first lieutenant. 1 But his name is a household 1 word in America, because of his ] LADIES: Come in ai well-?electe< Dry Gccds, 1 We have greatly enla: and cordially invite you to Everything nice and new an the quality.

Fwrt Mill's allotment of Victory Loan bonds was oversubscribed about 25 per cpnt ' at a mass meeting held in Con- . federate Park Monday night. 1 at whicn speeches were made by ! Arthur L.
