BAD NIGHT FOR AUTOMOBILES,
Two Cars Burned Here and One i'm
MayeSyille Saturday.

Two Cars Burned Here and One in
Mayesville 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 Mayesvilie.
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 1t is thought that somc one must
have set the place on fire, and she'd
and cars were burned. Mr.. Macls's
car was King eight and Sam Green's
car was a Ford touring car. Mr..
Mack had insurance on his car
nearly covering it's value, while the
negro did not have any on his Ford.
The other car burned was Buick
six belonging to Mr.. Hasel Mayes of
Mayesville. The car was burned
sometime Saturday night, but particu-
lars have not been heard as to how
1t caught. The insurance on the car
practically covered the loss.

MIR. j. A. WARREN AT THE BOYs,
HIGH SCHOOL.
MIR. Warren Speaks to the Rows OF
the Calhoun School on Mechanical
Pursuits.

Ihis morning Mr.. J. A. Warren OF
the Sumter Electric Company spoke
10 the boys Of the Calhoun school on
the vocation of skilled mechanics. II
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-
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
tnought there were any Of the boys
IN the graduating class this year who
mad any mechanical turn, and I got
myself into trouble, for he imme-
diately asked me if 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 ZIP all over
the South mechanical and electrical
manufactures and it will not be many
years before the South will he 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
men of the South have as much nat
ural ability and brains as the New
Highlander, 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
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.
die, jig, and fixture makers. Gencr-
ally speaking at present the South
has only the machinsts that have
been trained in the railroad and sim
liar shops. or course. some of these
are very high class workmen in their
line; but practically all of our precis-
ion tools are either bought from the
North or made 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
line. I believe there is a

wonderful opportunity for the young
men of the South and particularly
those who have mechanical mind
and have been so fortunate as to re-
ceive 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 great mechanical age and each
oay 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
nnish your education in the high
school and some of those will go from
mere 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 az.
ranged these vocational talks; making
1t easier for you to choose the work
Tor which you are best adapted. Think
well before you make your choice and
when you have made your choice
SUCK to 1t; 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. Be
prompt, be punctual, be dependable
and you will surely succeed"

distance.

V. Baula, the Greek grocer of w
Liberty street received o cablegram
yesterday from his brother at the old
home at Argostolli on the island OF
Cephalonia, asking that money be
sent him by cable at once. Only a
few days ago q letter was received
saying that conditions were desperate
and tina: the people of the island
were destitute and suffering for food
At that time Mr.. Baula made an ef-
fort to send money to his brother,
could not find p means Of remitting
through the banks or otherwise with
any assurance that the money would
reach its destination. When the
cablesram was received yesterday he
renewed his efforts to send the money,
but Mother the banks nor the tele-
graph and cable companies would ac-
cept the money to be forwarded.
The cablegram received yesterday
was a0 tOlIOW0:

At the request of Mr.. Baula the To-
cal Western Union agent wired to New

lon would undertake to forward
money by cable to Cephalonia island.
The following reply was received to the
inquiry;

Federal Administrators Demand Ii

States Ports.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of certain
foods to Canada and Newfoundland,
under ruling Monday by the ex-
ports administrative board, here
after will require the same form of
license demanded for their export
to other countries. Heretofore they
have gone forward under blanket IL
cense issued by collectors of GUS
TOMS
The purpose of the order, it was
explained, is to provide means of
closer cooperation between the Am
erican and Canadian administrators
and to put the United States in DO
sition to conserve its supplies if
shortages appear likely The foods
named are wheat flour, butter and
sugar. Licensing, it was said, will
permit the food administrators to
keep a closer check on supplies in
each country.
For the present, it is understood,
there is no intention to restrict food
shipments to Canada to any marked
extent. 1t may be necessary later
on, however, to regulate exports
somewhat.

Boost for Less Skilled Labor
Nearly 10 Per Cent Raise.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of new
wage scales for all navy yards and ar

mans attempted to capture one of our
outposts in the st. Laurent sector of
Lens, but were driven Off A consid-
cradle quantity of gas was projected
shortly before dawn into the enemy's
cellars in Lens. The Germans came
back like angry wasps, but without
success.
The renewed activity Of the enemy
reveals desire to regain the higher
ground on the west front of the city
so as to alleviate conditions that are
well nigh intolerable
So numerous were the cases of ex-
traordinary courage, resourcefulness
or self sacrifice at the battle of Lens
that it has been found necessary to
recognize them by awarding an ex-
ceptional number of military medals
to the men who so distinguished them
selves. The corps orders contained
the names of almost 80 men from
western Canada who were thus hon
