One clothing company at Anderson with branch stores at Pendleton, and the Wagner Glass Works, with offices at Anderson and factory at Ingalls,, are using this barp-wire system in their business affairs exclusively They use inc line frequently, They can convert t into private line by plugs so ar- ranged that when one party is using the line he can cut out all others except Il Mr. Alleys residence, which is used 3S Q central station.

TURKISH BOYS IN SCHOOL
Some Astonishing Yarns Taught the
 Young Students.

Young Students.
 The beginning of Mahommedan boys school life is always made an occasion for festival. It occurs on his seventh birthday. The entire school goes to the new scholars home, leading richly eaparisoned and flower bedecked donkey. The new pupil is placed on this little beast, a1i with his hodja, or teacher, leading the children form a double file and escort him to the schoo1honse, singing Joyous hysns. To stranger the common Turkish school presents singular scene. The pupils are seated cross-legged on the bare marble pavement in the porch of the mosque, forming semicircle about hodJa, who is, as rule. an old fat man. He holds in his hand a stick long enough to reach every student. By means of this rod he is enabled not only to preserve order among the mis- ehievous, but to urge on the boy whose recitation is not satisfactory. But as rule, hodjas are lazy and often fali asleep. 4 half-grown boy, in the pres ence of missionary, who tells the story, asked the hodja: What makes 1t rain?" "ttp in the clouds" en- swered this wise teacher, "our prophee Mahomet and the one who belongs to the Christians went into business to- gether, the profits to be divided. One night MahOmet stole all the profits and ran away. In the morning when the Christian god discovered his loss tla pursued Mahomet in his golden char lot, the rumbling of whose wheels makes the thunder. The lightning are the bullets of fire which the god shot after his fleeing partner. Mahomet, finding he could not escape in midair, plunged into the sea, the Christian god followed him. the shock splashed the water out, and 1t fell to the cath in rain" The young Turks, believing the teachings of their hodja, grow up with out further Investigating the causes of rain, the true source of which is taught an American child in the Kindergarten.
