I tiiink home love is the best. The
love that you are born to is the sweetest
tr.at you will ever have on earth.
You, who are so anxious to escape
from the home nest, pause a moment
and remember that this is so. Ii
is right that the hour should come
when you in your time should become
a wife and mother and give the best
love to others, but that will be just u.
Nobody, not a lover, not a husband,
will ever be so tender or so true as
your father and mother. Never again
after strangers have broken the beautiful
bond will there be anytmug so

father and children where you were
cherished, protected, praised and kept
from harm. You may not know It
now, but you will know it some day.
Whomsoever you marry, true and good
though he may be, will, after the lover
days are over and the honeymoon has ;
waned, give you only w!'aat you deserve
of love or sympathy, and usually much
less, never more.

Selfish people are unhappy and make
themselves uncomfortable. They take
no comfort in seeing others happy
and envv those who may be better oft
than themselves in any respect; tkey
think unkindly of them and, if they
can, rob them of their pleasure. Discord
and dissension are often the results
of the snap and snarl of selflsnness.
Upon the other fcand, gladness ;
may be diffused by a gentle word, a :
willing service gained by a kindly request
and a soft answer turneth away!
wrath. There is no sense in scolding.
It is more than a weakness or folly;
it is a sin, doing much evil to the
scolder and the scolded. It is the J
opening of the draft of internal and |
infernal fires that ougiit to be quench- j
ed. It scorches and inflames other's j
hearts and minds that should be kept
from evil. Scolding never does good.
Affability toward others cultivates amiability
in the actor. The courtesies
practiced in social life are just as
charming in t?e home circle. "Be i
courteous."
Child of sorrows, knowest thou not
that beyond the clouds there is alwavs
a light, and that all night long
the stars are in the sky. The bright

Gov. Manning announced yesterday
that he had recommended C. T. Mason,
Sumter county's inventive genius,
to Secretary Daniels of the navy for
appointment as a member of the national
inventions board. Mr. Mason j

the head of the company at Sumter
which was organized to manufacture
magnetoes. The company manufactured
telephones until several years
ago. j
T':at Mr. Mason he appointed was
suggested by the governor in a per

\ Inventor as Boy, Successful as Mian, j
umter, July 19.?One day nearly a
half century ago readers of the Scien- j
tific -American were much interested in
a story appearing in that paper of a
14-year-old boy who had been awarded ,
a prize for inventing a model steam j
engine. The boy lived in Sumter and ,
his name was Cbarles T. Mason. To- j

0 years of age, whose inventive mind ,
has apparently not dimmed one whit j
as the years have rolled by, has been ,
suggested for appointment on the na- i
tional defense board. It is a fitting |
tribute to t'Ms inventive genius that |
such an honor should be conferred j
upon him. especially since he has i
never sought publicity and even in his j
home itown there are comparatively
few really "know his greatness, j
His reputation is really worldwide.
Some time ago Mr. Mason received an ;
invitation from the emperor of Japan
to visit Tokyo and discuss with the
ruler the general subject of inventions, j

a husband is kind and thoughtful for
her comfort? A man that loves his
wife does not have to be reminded of
little acts of kindness he can give so

save steps, to save time, to save money
and to save that which is of vastly
more importance, is easy to lose, yet;
hard to find when once it is lost, viz:
! ealth, perfect, robust health. It is
something worth striving for and
though never appreciated as it should
be until it is gone past all hope of return,
it is well worth studying. It
is the convenience of life that saves it,
the inconveniences of life that cause ,
its loss.

in which the progressive monarch was ]
deeply interested. (
Mr. Mason was 14 years old when <
he built t':e prize steam engine. Such
a "hit" did ii make that he received 1
orders for duplicate engines from a 1
number of persons in different parts !
of the country.
Some time after this Mr. Mason,
still a young man, went to work at a i
sawmill near his home town. It was >
here tbat t?:e accident occurred which
caused him to suffer the loss of a leg. 1
While working around 'the saw some- j
thing about the machinery went wrong i
and Mr. Mason found that a toot'b from 1
the saw had buried itself in his leg. ;
Two different operations resulted in <
his losing the limb entirely. <
But iMr. Mason had not forgotten
his boyhood success as an inventor, j
nor could his creative mind be stilled, '
and before long te was working on a 1
cotton picking machine, which is now 1
acknowledged to be the most success- 1
ful machine of its kind ever produced. ;
In fact, a number of the machines J
were built and sent to the Louisiana ]
cotton belt, and some 200 bales of ^
cotton were picked with them. Mean- i
While, however, the financial interests 1
of the project had been assumed by a (
wealthy Charlestonian who had bought *
from Mr. Mason the manufacturing
rights to the cotton picker. This man
died soon afterwards, and his estate I
went into litigation soon after, causing 1
the death of the cotton picker. Of <
course, at this time, there were no ball ;
bearings or gasoline engines. Those '
who know of thp machine aerrep that if i
these two things had existed at the
rime, Mr. Mason's cotton picker would
have been the perfect solution of the
problem of the substitution of machine J
labor for hand labor in the cot:on field.
It might be added, in concluding this
purt of the story of Mr. Mason's inventive
career, that at t':.e time he was i
working on his cotton picker there
would, at times, be seven or eight
Pullman cars switched off a: Sumter
in a single day, these cars bringing
interested parties from all over the
country to see Mr. Mason's cotton
picker.
At'ter losing on his picker, as stated
?bove, Mr. Mason began experimenting
with telephone apparatus, and it
was not long before e was makinz
i
\
three phones a day in a Iitie shop in
his hack yard, ana he found a ready
sale for them, too. Finding this work
a success, he organized the iMason
Electric company, out of whic'.i grew
the incorporation, some time later, of
the Telephone Manufacturing company
r\f Qnmtpr nnr? cri1! latpr rhp SnmtPr
Telephone Manufacturing company,
which existed up "o a short time ago.
Sumter phones became known all over
t' e United States and were shipped to
many foreign countries as well. But
the business was not destined to grow
beyond a certain point. The gradual
expansion of the Bell interests into
Southern territory began to cut down
the sales of Sumter made telephones
to an alarming degree, and, as one
member of the firm expressed it. "in
self defense Mr. Mason had to get to
work on something else." Mr. Mason
was equal to the occasion. After two
years of experiments wifb two or three |
loyal experts on electrical devices he
produced the Dixie 2M magneto, which
is said to be superior tc any other
magneto on the market. Its worth
was recognized almost at once, and to-1
day, employing about 200 men, the {
company is making arrangements for j
the enlargement of the plant, whereby j
something like 1,000 workmen will be j
busy every day making Sumter mag- j
netoes. The Sumter Electric company, j
by the way, is now a subsidiary company
of the Splitdorf Magneto com
pany of Newark. N. J., having been
absorbed by this big company a short
time ago. The Dixie 3M magneto's j
superiority lies first of all in its sim-;
plicity. About five years ?were spent
altogether by Mr. Mason in developing j
it ito its present stage.
Mr. Mason at 60 is a hale and hearty
man of a genial disposition that makes
every one of his workmen a loyal part
of the Mason factory. The inventor j
keeps up with all his employes, and, j
like Henry Ford, 'he not only does this |
because it is "good business," but be- j
cause he has the interests of his men
an heart.

London, July 19.?With the German
Field Marshals vori Hindenburg
on the norf: and vcn Mac-kensen on
the south whipping forward the two j
ends of a great arc around Warsaw,!
it is realized in England that Grand i
Dukr. Nicholas, in defending the city |
has the most severe task imposed on
- im since the oubreak of the European
war. Some military writers seem to j
think the feat is wdlnigh impossible.;
There was sustained confidence that j
Germany's previous violent attack I
along the Bzura-Rawka front never
would pierce the Russian line, but the
present colossal co-ordinate move was
developed with much suddenness and
carried so far without meeting serious j
Russian resistance that more and more J
the British press is discounting the fall
:f the Polish capital, and while not
giving up all hope of its retention, is
pointing out t'':e enormous difficulty the
Russian armies 'have labored under

the Russians perpetually have faced
