MILLIONAIRE BECOMES CUB RE
PORTER
His Reasons Are Flattering to the
Craft

Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., son of
Brigadier General Cornelius Wander
bilt, has forsaken Newport and its
gay socfaa life to accept a job as
"cub" reporter on the New York
Herald at s25 week, it was learned
there Friday night. The young mil
lionaire, obtained the position on his
own initiative by letter he wrote to
the city editor of the paper.
Il wanted to be a reporter" he
said, because I have always found
newspaper men to be the brightest
and most alert people l know. When
in France with the 9th Division l al
ways noticed that the duty calling for
resource and initiative was nearly al
ways given to former newspaper

Fred, sometimes called Putnam's
Ike Walton, went down to old Killing

his chuck when the reel began to click

times. In the excitement the grut

fisherman came home hungry, but th'

1t was September goth, 1917, that
Mike Shotorian left for Camp Devens
with the Putnam district contingent.
In a month and half he was trans
ferred to Camp Gordon, and from
there to Upton, and April 25th, 1918,
sailed for France and the front battle
line.
This much it was easy to get from
Corporal Shotorian, but when it came
to telling what he did to get the cita-
tion he was not so willing to talk. But
with persistent questioning the story
came out.
1t was in the battle of the Argonne
Woods, October 18th, that Corporal
Shotorian distinguished himself. AL
though wounded he refused to leave
the line The Germans were spotted
as the company moved up hill, and
Corporal Shorotian was in she'll hole

Wounded and left alone in shell
hole when his company went away
without his noticing the movement,
Corporal Mike Shotorian of Putnam,
although wounded, opened fire on a
machine gun nest, killed four of
the men and took the rest of the crew
prisoners and marched them to the
American lines.
Corporal Shotorian was wounded
in the arm and body but refused to
leave the line. For his heroic action
he was cited for bravery by the regi-
mental commander. Colonel Whitman.
The citation is as follows:
For conspicuous bravery near st.
Juvin, France, during October, 1918
He remained in the firing line and re
fused to be evacuated, although
wounded"
The way the story has come out Is
due to the fact of exaggerated stories

WARE HOUSE and
COTTON BURNED

MOultre Jan. 21.-A warehouse and
three hundred bales of cotton were
burned at Ellenton Monday morning
The loss resulting is estimated at
about fifty thousand dollars. The cau-
SO of the fire hasn't been determined
An investigation is being made. The
ware house was owned most of three
hundred bales of cotton stored in the
building.
The fire was discovered about sun
rise, by merchant of the little town
when he went down to open his store
He quickly gave the alarm, A crowd
OF men gathered and although the
fire began to burn like fury within
few minutes, they managed to save
fifty Of the $50 bales of cotton which
were in the building, AS is in the
case in all small towns, Ellenton's
fire facilities are inadequate and the
fact that any of the cotton was saved
in considered remarkable
The warehouse was valued at from
four to five thousands dollars, 1t is
the second cotton fire Colquitt county
has suffered from this season, the
big compress burning here a few
weeks ago with the loss of about a
quarter of a million dollars.
The burning of the warehouse at
Ellenton Monday falls heavily on the
losers. Most of the cotton which went
up in the flames was brought when
the market was several cents a pound
higher than it is now and the insur-
ance is of course based on current
values.
Later news received stated that
besides the cotton about 1000 bushels
of corn, 800 bushels of field peas and
a large quantity of velvet beans were
burned
