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. 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 i
bv the installation of new tables i

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.

blanks from the Civil Service

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 ]
