Mr. Wurren Speaks to tlic Boys of the Culhoim School on Mechanical Pursuite. This morning Mr. J. A. Warren of the Sumter Electric Company spoke to the boys of the Calhoun school on the vocation of skilled mechanics. It Is recognized that this vocation today is opening many avenues of oppor? tunity for the young men of the South and the call today for trained me- i chanics is very insistent. The boys listened with attention and evident interest to the very practical message that Mr. Warren had for them. He said in part: "Some weeks ago I spoke to your superintendent, asking him if he thought there were any of the boys in the graduating class this year vho had any mechanical turn, and I got myself into trouble, for he imme? diately asked me if I would give you a vocational talk. The South in the past has not been a manufacturing section. Practically all of manufacturing that has been done in the South in the past has been lumber and cotton, but now there are fast springing up all over the South mechanical and elctricai manufactories and it will not be many years before the South will he a great manufacturing centre. We have everything that makes an ideal place in which to live; we have great natur? al resources and I am sure that the Sana of the South have as much nat-1 ural ability and brains as the New | Engl?nder, and New England is the | greatest manufacturing district that we have, though the middle North? west is fast forging ahead, particular? ly Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Mil- j waukee and neighboring towns, with their automobile and gas engine fac? tories and other similar manufac? turing plants. The greatest problem along this line that faces the South is to supply itself with skilled mechanics, such as tool, i die. Jig, and fixture makers. Gener? ally speaking at present the South has only the machlnsts that have I been trained in the railroad and sim? ilar shops. Of course, some of these aro very high class workmen in their line; but practically all of our precis? ion tools are cither bought from the rJorth or mado by mechanics that have been imported from the North. Now is the time when the South should train its own skilled men along all lines, and especially along the this particular line. I believe there is a ^??issMsiMiis??**^ wonderful opportunity for the young men of the South and particularly those who have a mechanical mind and have been so fortunate as to re? ceive a high school education. You will need all of the mathematics that you have learned here to solve some of the problems you will meet. This is a great mechanical age and each day there is some new application; each day we see some new machine or tool developed that replaces the old way of doing things?the old hand?and mule-power methods. In a few months some of you will finish your education in the high school and some of those will go from hore to college to obtain a higher ed? ucation than is afforded her. Others will of necessity have to decide what is to be their life's work and for that reason your superintendent has ar? ranged these vocational talks; makinu it easier for you to choose the work for which you are best adapted. Thim well before you make your choice and when you have made your choiovi stic': to it; for it takes time to be? come efficient in any line and there will be times when you will become discouraged and think you are not making progress; but stick at it. l>c prompt, be punctual, be dependable and you will surely succeed." BAD NIGHT FOR AUTOMOBILES. Two Cars Burned Here and One in Maycsvlllc Saturday. Saturday night was a bad night for automobiles. Two cars were burned on the Green Swamp road on the edge of Sumter and one was burned in Mayesville. Mr. G. K. Mack left his car under a shed at Sam Green's, colored, next to Sam Green's car. The shed caught on fire from some unknown cause, but it is thought that somo one must have set the place on fir*, and shed and cars were burned. Mr. Mack's car was a King eight and Sam Green's car was a Ford touring car. Mr. Mack had insurance on his car nearly covering its value, while the negro did not have any on his Ford. The other car burned was Bulctc six belonging to Mr. Ha^el Mayes of Mayesville. The car was burned sometime Saturday night, but particu? lars have not been heard as to how it caught. The insurance on the car practically covered the loss. FOR SALE?I will sell at a bargain a small horse that my children have been driving for two years. Will sell buggy and harness also. H. G.

The following article from a Cor sieana, Texas, paper will be of inter? est to many people in Sumter by rea? son of the fact that the hero of the exploit is a grandson of Col. James D. Blandina, his mother having been Miss Etta Blanding before her mar? riage: The following, clipped from a Chi? cago paper, shows to Chicago a new side to Blanding Sloan, who Stand* ; very high in their estimation as a man and artist, and last week did a brave act that put him in the hero class. Of course, Coriscana people knew that Blanding was capable of this and any other splendid act, be? ing the son of his lather, Dr. A. C. Sloan deceased. J. Blanding Floan is the hero of the East 57th street artist colony today. Mr. Sloan saved the life of 8-year-oM Margaret Medland and almost es? caped detection. It was only through his friends, including John R. Rich aids, superintendent of playgrounds in Jackson park, that the young art lvt's deed became known. Margaret, who is the daughter of Harold E. Medland of 6625 Blackstone avenue, fell into the Jackson park la? goon when the ice broke. The paint? er and etcher heard her cries. He called Mr. Richards, who was elope by, and together they tried to fish the child out with a rope. This proving futile, Margaret being too weak to seize the rope, Mr. Sloan struck out through the ice cakes in the lagoon, picked up Margaret, seized the rope and was dragged ashore. He hurried away to the stu? dio at 15 27 East 57th Street. ? ? ii 1 i ? ? p BANKS ARE NECESSARY to a business community, but depositors and friends are more necessary to a bank.
