'Before and After" is an appropri
ate title for a series of photogr , ns
which have been made of And' r.-o 's
tel phone system, the "bef?te" vi *.s
having been made several mouths
ago. when the old serial system was in
vogue, and ta? "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.

The latest officio statement from
the German general Staff reporta the
captare of an Vngllsh trench south
east .of Ypres on March 8. In the
Champagne district the French con
tinued their attacks near Perthea and
Le Mesa 11, but were repulsed. The
Germans made a counter attack and
occupied the Small wood north of
Perthea and the Piro trench ot the
French position near Le Meanll. .
Eleutherlos Ventselos. the Grecian
premier, announced in the chamber of
deputies Saturday, that aa the king
did not approve of the policy of the

dispatch from Athens. An earlier dla.

general opinion that If the crown
council decided to remain neutral In

Petrograd claims, successfully eoun
tr-:ed the Austro-Gem?an attempts to
outflank him In eastern Galicia and
from K?st-Prussia. Grand Duke Nich
olas. 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

prevent them from entrenching in
Husstan territory, as they have don?
south of the lower Vistula. 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.
DONT TAKE CALOMEL
Instead of dangerous, salivating
Calomel to liven your livor when
bilious, headachy or constipated get
a 10-cent box ot Cascareis. They
start thu liver and bowels and
straighten you up better than nasty
Calomel, without griping or making
you sick.
