Lewis Knight, negro, who died at the Tri-County Hospital Christmas Eve from natural causes, had been a resident of this city for 19 years and all the time was under the impression that he was wanted in Warrenton, for a murder which he ne.xr committed. Knight had been employed at the Hamilton Veneer Company as a foreman at their plant here, and during his residence in Orangeburg he had been a model citizen. He was active in church work and was serving as a deacon in his church. He had married and prior to his death he made a will in which he left everything he owned to his wife. Recognizing the seriousness of his condition, Knight called in a friend shortly before he died and related a rather unusual story.

He said that he was a native of Warrenton, where he lived until he was about 20 years of age. In 1925 he became involved in a difficulty, so he told his friend, in which a man was seriously cut, and whom he had learned, had died of his wounds.

The car was parked a short distance away. Officer Collins said he saw a soldier get into the machine and drive off. He got in behind the car and tried to make the soldier stop.

Several shots were fired In an effort to stop the soldier, but he continued to go. Officer Coliins began to gain on the fleeing machine, when the soldier left the highway and to to a field.

Members of 397th Regiment Now Fight ins: With Allies In France SIXTH ARMY GROUP. France The 397th Infantry Regiment of the 100th (Century) Division is one of the nr.vcst units fiphtinK on the U. S. 7th Army front in Eastern Frarre but its members have the satisfaction of knowing they played im important part in the "squeeze play" so thoroucMy applied to the German lfuh Army. While French troops spearheaded drives through the the north and Bel-fort Gap in the south, both routes leading to Strasbourg and the Rhine," the principal part of the 7th Army fought relentlessly against the thousands of Nazis caught in the middle.

With the French holding the enemy in on the sides, the 337th and other units of the 7th Army drove pistol-like against the middle. 397th. began its push, and its baptism of fire, in the dense forests of the Vosges Mountains in the vicinity of Baccarat. The fightins conditions were as tough as any that any troops faced along the extended Sixth Army Group front the Group consisting of the American 7th awl the French Armies. In addition to a fanatic enemy who fought, with the ferocity of a trapped rat, the 397th faced innumerable land-mines, booby-traps, and well prepared defense installations.

The weather was cold, it rained frequently and mud was ankle deep. The forest, covered with a heavy undergrowth, provided cover for Nazi snipers. But stubborn slugging and skillful maneuvering enabled the 397th to push through Raon 1 'Etape, Scnones and other key towns leading toward the Rhine and the eventual defeat of the last Germans in France.
