Mayor B. Patterson has issued
the following call to the citizens
of Fort Mill:
*1 respectfully request the
citizen^ of Fort Mill who are
interested in the welfare of the
town to be present at the
Masonic Hall Friday evening at
8:90 o'clock, June 13th, for the
nnmnfio nf - ? J
in'dv vi uiiuihk ways una i
means to carry a road-byilding
program for Fort Mill effectively
and satisfactorily to the property
holders and citizens, also the
sewerage question will be fully
discussed at this meeting.
"I have reports in hand showing
roads contemplated for improvement
wijl cost around
$40,000, which proposal will be
to issue $20,000 in bonds and the
balance by assessments. The
sewerage system will cost $25,000
which will be a large bond issue
for Fort Mill, considering both
issues at the same time, but it i
will be only a question of two <
or three years when we will be !
required by the State laws to ;
have sewerage and the roads 1
receiving such improvements <
without sewerage at this. time <
will cost several thousand dollars <
to tear up and lay sewerage <
later; therefore. I think we 1
should consider a joint bond issue j
at this time for both propositions, j
as we cannot expect improve- 1
ments unless we pay for them. i
"The Liberty Loan drives have i
lone fflore to enlighten the peo- 1
pie of the country on bond issues \
r.mknkl.. 1.1 j *
ji wnauijr tuan any omer iactor,
ind there will be no trouble in
explaining the issue and disposing
of the bonds if the
proposition meets with the approval
of the citizens %of our
x>wn. I hope you will come
ivith a purpose of going into
Jie detail of this matter and not
>e in opposition with the movenen^
until same is fully explained.
"Yours truly,
"B. E. Patterson,
"Mayor."

A congressional medal of honor?the
highest award of any
that an American soldier can win
?has been reeeivea at the Southeastern
department headquarters
to be presented to the father
of Sergt. Thoa. Lee ?all of
Company G, - One Hundred and
'Eighteenth Infantry, says a recent
Charleston despatch. The .
medal was awarded posthumous- '
ly, the heroic South Carolinian 1
haying been mortally wounded '
in action. Sergeant Hall was
from Fort Mill, S. C., at which
place his father, William L. Hall
resides. The medal will be presented
by the commanding officer
of the Southeastern depart- '
ment. Brig. Gen. Clarence H.;!
McNeil is at present commander i
of the department, pending- the ,
Arrival of Lieut. General Bullard. ?
As General McNeil, who com- (
mands the South Atlantic coast
artillery district, is to^be succeeded
by Brig. Gen. John D. .
Barnett, it is not known yet
just who will present the precious
token that commemorates one
af the most heroic deeds recorded
in the history of American
arms. Few distinguished \
ieeds in the recent war equalled J
the courageous action of Ser- i
areant Hall, whose act of heroism, ?
according to the official citation, *
was calmly calculated. It was f
not a feat performed on the (
spur of a moment, hut a* de- t
iberate deed of daring, done in 1
the full consciousness of the risk *
assumed. Sergeant Hall was a 8
nember of the famous One 8
Hundred and Eighteenth regi- J
nent of the-Thirtieth Division, a p
"egiment which won six of the ?
ft) congressional medals of honor j
iwarded during the war. The t
following is the official record ?
)f his act: "For conspicuous
fallantry and intrepidity above *
md beyond the call of duty in f
iction with the enemy near ii
VIontbrehain, France, October
3, 1918. Having overcome two J
nachine gun nests under Ills
jkillful leadership, Serjeant
Sail's platoon was stopped 800
fards from his final objective by
Tiachine gun fire of particular
ntensity. Ordering his men to
;ake cover in a sunken road, he _
idvanced alone on the enemy ^
nachine gun post and killed five <
neinbers of the crew with his ^
layonet and thereby /nade pos- ^
jible the further advance of the
ine. While attacking another <
nachine gun nest later in the *
lay the gallant soldier was 1
nortally wounded." It is not !
cnown as yet just when the \
nedal will be presented to the <
soldier's father, nor where it \
vill be presented. General <
VIcNeil is now corresponding <
vith Mr. Hall to arrange these <
wo matters. <
<
Will Refund Street Tax. <
Mayor B. E. Patterson has i
ssued instructions as follows to \
Dity Treasurer C. S. Link: <
