CAPTURE or BRANcouRT.
World War Veteran Tells of Part
Played by Fort Mill Company.

NASmOCAo VI SOhpdhy VI, llOln
regiment, 30th division, may live
to be old men, but am sure none
of them will go through another
such night as they did on Octo-
ber Z and the early morning of
October 8, 19lS," yesterday said
a World war veteran in recalling
that the third anniversary of the
memorable attack of the Both di-
vision on the Hindenburg line
was at hand.
1.-The 11Sth infantry" he con-
tinued, was then holding the
front lines near Brancourt and
soon after sundown of the dark
rainy night of October Z, Compa-
ny g received hurried order to
move at once to the left and co,ln-
terattack the Germans. who it
was reported had attacked and
broken through the 117th mfan-
try OH our left. Capt. S. w.
Parks, Major Lindsay McFadden
and others at he front knew the
attack was useless and likely to
prove disastrous. 1t is under
stood that Col. II. b. Spratt, at
the time in command of the regi-
ment, protested so strongly the
order that he was threatened
with removal from command if
the attack was not made at once.
AS was expected, the alarm
proved to be false, and while the
Fort Mill company escaped with
out casualties, the Rock Hill com
pany lost about % men. Compa7
ny G returned to it's former posi-
tion pretty well shaken up and
the men spent the balance of the
night lying on the wet ground
waiting for the coming of day
light, when they were to attack
the German front and capture
Brancourt.
cit is almost impossible to re-
alize the situation in which the
Fort Mill boys were. Thousands
of miles from home, they had al
ready been fighting for nearly
week and many Of them had been
killed and wounded. They spent
this miserable night lying in the
mud and rain and at daylight
lined up and moved forward to
the attack in fine shape and
splendid spirit.
'.Withm few hours the Ger
mans had been driven back and
Brancourt captured. The cap
ture of Brancourt. by the way,
has been referred to aS one of the
important victories of the Both
division. 1t was in this attack
that Capt. Parks was wounded
and most of the brave boys who
have recently been buried here
were killed. Company q took
into this series of fights lS3 men
and brought ont. believe. 81 un-
wounded men. and it was during
this time that Willie Minis. then
first sergeant, took command of
the company and led it forward,
all the officers of the company
having been wounded. 1t was Il
hard fight. and while our losses
were very heavy, the streets OF
Rrancourt were filled with dead
Germans and their losses We're
much greater than ouds.
Members of Company q will
never forget October 3. 1918. and
Brancourt, France.

Worked on THE Times.

Says the Chester News: 'Thc
editor of the Fort Mill Times III
mentioning the recent removal of
his paper to new building, gives
the history of The Times and
states that some years ago 1t was
printed on hand press. The ed
itOr of The News well remembers
the old George Washington hand
press used i'm The Times office and
il was there that he got his first
experience as a typeSetterS, press
man, prOofreader, etc, etc. Some
times we believe every printer
should be required to pull n
George Washington hand press
for about six months and then
he would appreciate the ad
vantages of getting out news
paper on a cylinder press. Yes,
the printer of this day thinks he
knows something about hard
work, but a printer has no con
ception Of real hard work until
he has tackled the job of printing
paper from hand press on a
real hot day in August.

NOT ENOUGH PEANUTS.

'he man accustomed 10 Duy-

thinks OF peanuts, if he thinks of
the matter at all, as coming prin-
clEaily from Virginia, yesterday
said Fort Mill groceryman. lie
would be surprised to learn that
the American market has been
materially influenced for many
years by the importation of for
c!gn grown nuts. as was recently
announced by the federal depart
men of agriculture. For a mum
ber OF years China has produced
hllllonS of pounds of peanuts i'm
ported into the United States.
"Shantung is the leading pea
nut producing region in China. as
It's soil is particularly adapted to
me growing of peanuts, the de-
partmcnt says. The nut grown
i'll that province is said to be lar
ger than that grown in any other
part of China. and contains more

are small plots of ground. often

in that most Chinese farmers use
only primitive methods of culti-

In connection with the state
mcnt of the department of agri-
culture relative to the importa-
tion 10 this country of Chinese
peanuts, | wondered why it was
that farmers in the lower section
Of South Carolina which has been

recently stated that they could
