An interesting portion of this department !a the section dev?ofd to news of the Anderson exchange. The dots with reference to Anderson are as follows: On the evening of January 7 the first operators' meeting ever held in Anderson was called to order in the reel room, which was artistically de corated with ferns and white narcis sus. Ku h operator was present and the following program' was carried out: A paper on "Recording" was read by MJBB Christine Watscr*, toll operator; a paper on "Courte .y", by Miss Allie Hayne; a recitation, "It Couldn't be Done," by Miss Gladys Watson, local operator; a paper on "Cooperation." read by Miss Edith Holcombe, ioll operator. Delicious sandwiches were sered. On the ton of the sandwiches were placards In the shape of a bell, on one side of *vhlch was written, "Houthorn Bbl! Telephone Company, January 7. 191">." On the other side were questions tot the local operators and for toll operators were written a code. The local operators gave an swers to their questions, and toll oper ators gave expressions to be used in giving such reports to subscribers. They also told how often to A. G. each report. There were a great many points discussed. Mr. Knoll", the electrical engineer of Atlanta, gave us an illustration of the exchanges In Havana.

"after" series having been made yesterday, morning. Under the direction of Plant Fore man L. C. Switzer and Construction Foreman E. C. Yarborough, a Spar tanburg photographer yesterday morning made a number of photo graphs of streets ot Anderson along which the old aerial telephone cables were suspeuded from Luge poles set on the edges of the sidewalks. Views of the n"\v telephone exchange were also maae. Several months ago before the ae rial system gave way9 to the splendid underground system a series of pho tographs were made, showing the net work of wires, the large lead cables, the tall poles and the spreading cross arms. The object of the two sets of pic tures is plain. The telephone com pany desires to use these photogra'phs as demonstrations of the advantage ot the underground system over the aerial system, and for publication bi phamplets that mr y ba printed front' time to time and in the monthly pub lication of the Bell T?l?phone & Telegraph company employees. A batch of photos of thc old aerial system were exhibited yesterday by Mr. Yarborough at the time the pho tographer was mak4ng the anap shots of the same streets after the wires had been put .underground. Looking at the photos' and then looking at the streets where the old poles and the network of wires and cablea once held sway, one would scarcely believe that he was in the same town.

NEW YORK FIREMAN WALKING IQ 'FRISCO; JOHN H. MOONEY REACHES ANDERSON ON TRANS CONTINENTAL HIKE A LITTLE GIANT Though a Tiny Irishman He is Muscled Like a Hercules. Is No Faker Exhibiting letters from Mayor J. Purroy Mitchel of New Yolk city and the chief of the fire department of Gotham that attest the genuineness of his undertaking. John H. .Mooney, a member of the New York fire depart ment, who is walking 'rom that city to San Francisco, arrived in Ander eon late yesterday afternoon, tired but In excellent spirits, and confident that he will carry out his plan. Mooney, who is a Jolly Irishman, is not one of the fellows who ls out tramping across the continent for a wager, as an advertising agent for the Police Gazette or other publica tion . He appeafs to be more of a sport, or rather a man who is out ! walking for the sport of the thing he has undertaken. He baa been giv en a year's vacation by the New York fire department, and during this time he is to walk to San Francisco and return. Mooney Kit New York on his long hike on January 28. He stated yester day that he did not know when he would reach San Francisco. He is under no contract to make the Jour ney there in a specified time. He will go from here to Atlanta and New Or leans, and from the latter city will follow the route of the Southern Pa cific railroad to San Francisco. After spending two months at the Panama Pacific exposition, he will return to New York by the ncrthern route. In making his trip across the con tinent Mooney is stopping with the fire departments of the cities where he pauses, He travels in the uniform of the New York fire department. This traveler is one of the nost mus cular fellows that hap ever been seen about here, with the possible excep tion ?of the ."strong men" of the cir cuses. .Mooney Is small of statue, In fact, he ls below the n- rmal In height. The muscles of his legs, from the hip to the toe are as hard as steel. His arina are also well muscled, but noth ing like his legs. . He wilt be in Anderson Monday, when he will set out on the next lap pf his Journey. XAKty (?PROGRESS ?

Dussian commander-in-chief, ia said to be threatening again at ttie center of tin- Teutonic allies n Po land . A few days ago tho Russans were said to have gained a little ground on the Bzura and Rawka river's. Yes terday the repo.-ts mentioned a R?s sian attack near Skieruiewice and today Vienna says the Musscovites made partial attacks east of Piotrkow. This is about the point where the German and Austrian armies are link ed, and a successful thrust here would, according to military observ ?rs, compel a general retireu nt in central Poland and enable the Russian generalissimo to resume his offensive against Cracow, which always has been foremost in his plan of com paign. Prom all accounts received from Petrograd, which at present is the only source of information, the Aus trians have suffered a v<ery severe de feat tn eastern Galicia and now are in full retreat toward the Carpathians. In tbe mountains to the westward the fighting, which bas been continuous and intense for weeks, still is In pro gress. The two annies are contending desperately for the ridges. The losses in these battles are declared to have been as serious as any In the war, but neither side has conceded more than a few yards of the rocky slopes at a time. Thc Russians also have been at tacking along the Dunajec, In western Galicia, but apparently without mak ing any impression on the Austrian defenses which are very strong on this river. In northern Poland the Russians continue striving hard to drive the Germans back to Bast. Prussia and "THE AN Tuesday\ ? Auspices Anderson I THE / SEST , MINS TREL ?

It is said at some points this drive is meeting with considerable success and that at places the Germans actually are on their frouiier; but ai other points tho Gormans are declared to. have suc ceeded in checking the impetuous Russian offensive. A little more likeliness is evident along the western front where the French continue their attacks against thc Germans. According to Paris thc French have made progress in the Charopas7?o and the Argonne regions. The Germans, however, have deliver ed some sharp cou?tor attacks which the Berlin report says have been suc cessful. On the whole these tastics seeming ly hav- not succeeded in materially changing the position of the two urmles. If the French have made the progress in the Champagne region with which they credit themselves, military observers believe it will doubtless bring about a big battle such as similar advance did at Sols sons, or a readjustment of the German front in this region. As the allied fleet slowly progresses in Its attack's on thc Dardanelles the effect is reflected in' English grain markets, where prices steadily are falling.
