The lltu lilurry Tliut SlarlN \\ lirii n fcii «-r mi tinier. It is so easy to buy stocks if one lias tht' money that few pel sous realize the wonderful machinery that is set in motion when such a purchase is made. It Is Interest jug to trace the stock tinougli all the channels of Wall street. The lM*st way ,o get this before the outsider Is to take an imaginary case. Jones, in Buffalo, goes into the branch office of a Stock Exchange house. He is met at the dt>or by a boy, who takes him to the manager. Jones says. “I want to buy 100 shares of Steel com mon at 40,” and gives bis check for $4,012.50. The order is sent to the bookkeeper, who checks it O. K.; then to the order clerk, who sends it to the telegraph room, whence it is sent over the private wire, engaged at $2r>.000 a year, to the main office in New York city. There it is received and sent to the bookkeeper, who O. K.’s it. sends It to the order clerk, who gives it to a tele phone boy in the office, who telephones it to the Stock Exchange to a boy there, who carries the order to the broker, who rushes to the ‘‘Steel post” and buys the stock. He gives a record of the purefiase to a page ou the floor, who carries it to the telephone and re ports to the office. Another page takes a report to the telegraph operator, wlio J sends it out on the ticker. A report also goes to the exchange register. ! where flic sale is recorded in a great book for future reference. I When the report is received in the has sent a circular] broker’s office, it goes to the order county sunerlnten- | .-lerk, who reports it to the telegraph operator, who wires the notice of the pure k:'M‘ to the branch office, where the customer is notified. Then he re ports it to the record clerk, who rv cords it in the proper book. Then it is rep.e tc ! t > a <-]eik, who writes out a notice, v. hic'i is mailed to the cw'.o.ii- er. Then 1! > notice of the purchase i; ■ cut to the ; lock clerk, who i-'cor.' it. Next day ihe man who sold the stock sends it to the purchasing broker. Sometimes another man who hud noth in r to do with the sale sends the stock. This is determined by the clearing h ctse, who -p system is simple and does : wo . with innumerable actual de liveries of si >ck. Clerks figure out who is to receive stock, so that all the de liveries do not have to he made, but Many State associations j ouly the balances due. When the stock is received it is paid for by the cashier. It is then entered from the blotter to the cashbook and then posted in the ledger. A General Letter to County Superin tendents- In an effort to make the State Teachers’ Association a larger and more Influential body, at the meeting at Wlnthrop College last summer the committee on reorganiz,ation. which had been appointed the year before made a report, the principal feature of which was the recommendation in regard to a permanent membership. A recommendation in regard to com mittee of three be appointed from each county to secure members and arouse interest in the State associa tion. ’ T ’he recommendations were The Command to Adam. The following lines were handetf Dr. Simms a few days since by a la dy m unher of his congregation after hearing him speak on Adam and Eve and the fall: A Reality. You say ’twas a woman that caused Adam’s fall; I think I can prove it was not so at all; Just look in your Bible and you will perceive God’s command was to Adam, but never to Eve. Although she. like a woman, the pen alty paid The fruit was forbidden before she was made. But after his sin, Adam, Just like a man. Skulls round back of Eve, as fast as he can. When he hears the Lord’s voice In the garden at night. And he whines “Lord, she ate It. I just took a bite.” And since that sad time, I am sorry to say Man always has act^d the very same way, And when ever there is trouble of any kind. Tiie wife takes the bment whi'e the man sneaks behind; But un nons his head from behind his safe cover, Wh n trials are past and dangers are over, And he crows loud and ion" like a bold chanticleer, '‘See I shlehl and protect her, the the weak little dear!” “How noble is man! for you know all the -“'Vii Was caused not by man, and the devil.” Girlhood and Scoffs Emtilsfoti are linked together. The girl who takes Scoffs Emut m sfon has plenty of rich, red blood; she is plump, active and energetic. The reason is that at a period when a girl’s digestion is weak. Scoffs Emulsion provides her with powerful nourishment in easily digested form. It is a food that builds and keeps up a girl’s strength. ALL DRUGGIST8I BOc.

February the 2nd. This is a 'oca! institution, officered by men you know; men who have your In terests at hear; men who want you to *ave: men who want to build up Gaff ney; men who want you to have a home of your own; men who are con servative, and at the same time am bitious; men whom you should have confidence in because their past re cord has been such as to win your con fidence. There is nothing about this association that will not bear the closest Inspection. It has, In the two years of its existence, done more to ward building up Gaffney than any single Institution. It has enabled a number of wage earners to buy homes of their own. It has been the means of saving and making money for its Investors. You should give it your moral support You should give it your financial support. Ask any of ita stockholders who have borrowed money from it to build homes with sad they will tell you it is a blessing to them. No stockholder too small -to be welcome.

The check with which the stock Is paid for is deposited in the broker’s Buffalo account and goes through the clearing house there, to be returned to the bank upon which it Is drawn. The manager of the branch office draws his check and sends it to New York to the main office. It Is deposit ed, goes through the clearing house aud is eventually returned to the bank upon which It was drawn. To handle this business there are a hundred or more messengers on the floor of the Stock Exchange, there are telegraph operators, bank clerks, mes sengers and transfer agents. The purchase affects millions. The orders are written upon paper made by the mauufiK turers of paper, w ho em ploy hundreds of men. The printers bought their presses from the makers, who bought their iron from the steel corporation. The tele graph company bought its wires from the steel and wire companies, who bought the copper from the Amalga mated Copper company. Each of these concerns employs thousands of men, and without these and many others this 100 shares of stock could not have been bought, so it can be seen that the whole country is affected by the buying and selling of stocks in Wall street.— St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
