EUGENE ANDERSON.
President Georgia-Alabama Business
College, Macon, Ga.
Mr. H. O. Carlton, now engaged in
business at Inverness, Fla., writes:
“I was with Mr. Anderson a year, dur
ing which time I made $284 doing of
fice work for merchants in Macon, and
I was at the same time studying at
the Georgia Alabama. I learned to
know Mr. Anderson well. I never
saw one who could come nearer show
ing a poor man how to better his
condition, and I do not believe there
is in this land of ours today a bet
ter poor man’s friend than the Ga.-
Ala. I saw no failures while I was
there. Its moral tone is also about
the highest I ever saw in any school.”
New Method of Cotton Ginning.
With the dawn of each new day,
science presents to the world some
thing in actuality that heretofore ex
isted only in vague dreams of great
inventors. This twentieth century will
always be looked upon as a period of
progress and development in every
sphere of commercialism; this twen
tieth century gave birth to the wire
less telegraphy, the automobile, the
airship and numerous other now in
dispensable machines and conven
iences.
In this inventive age the cotton ma
chinery has fallen heir to its share of
improvements. No longer is cotton
ginned in the old-style, antiquated
methods, but ginning today has been
reduced to a genuine scientific basis.
The gins, the conveyors, the methods
are all improved to a very marked de
gree, but with all the improvements
that decrease ginning cost and save
time and labor, the most significant
advancement in ginning is the gaso
line engine. .
The modernly equipped ginnery no
longer relies on the expensive, uncer
tain old boiler to keep the wheels of
its plants a-goin’, this all-important
work being entrusted to the inexpen
sive, labor-saving gasoline engine.
With a good gasoline engine, the gin
nery is always ready to go to work on
a moment’s notice —no delays incident
to having to “fire up the boiler” and
wait for sufficient steam to generate;
no expense of a “stoker” to keep the
fire going; no big coal and wood bill
to eat into the profits; no danger of
boiler explosion or fire from the coals.
It is a matter of just a minute to start
it; no one to watch it, and when the
ginning is through, it is stopped as
quickly as it is started.
A gasoline engine is not only a great
deal less expensive to operate than
the boiler system, but renders that
satisfactory service which it is physi
cally impossible for the boiler to pro
duce, and it is directly contrary to all
mechanical laws to expect the satis
faction and economy from a boiler
that it is possible to obtain with a gas
oline engine.
The Patent Still Fixtures Co., of Sa
vannah, Ga., handle one of the best
gasoline engines on the market today,
and it would pay any one interested in
a ginnery to write them for full infor
matien on the gasoline engine for gin
ning, cane crushing, wood sawing, etc.
These engines are not expensive, and,
on account of the large and varied
stock carried by the Patent Still Fix
tures Co. at all times, it can be in
stalled in a few days after receipt of
order.
TRIAL AND TRIUMPH
(Continued Prom Page Three)
The drive about New Glenwood, as
the site of the summer town was call
ed, to distinguish it from the village
took the visitors a winding way
through the picturesque open woods
bordering upon the twin lakes, and
across the hill to the mineral spring,
whose crystal waters, gushing out of a
mossy rock, were tasted and pronounc
ed sufficiently nauseous to heal all dis
eases.
The excursion-party was finally set
down in the park —an extensive tract
of broken, finely wooded land, with
numerous springs and a devious little
stream, near which, in the shade of
the old oaks, a long table had been
built, and covered with various sub
stantial viands, not to speak of fruits,
cakes, and pies.
After the “speaking” would come
the banquet, the unique feature of
which was the barbecue. The rich
odor of the meats, now being roasted
in the barbecue-pit over a furnace of
glowing coals, tickled the nostrils and
sharpened the appetites of the men,
who were gathered about the platform,
from which several speakers discussed
the live topics of the day.
The shortest, brightest, most telling
speech was made by Stanley King. His
toast at the banquet was the wittiest.
His tall figure and distinguished face
was the magnet that drew many bright
eyes.
But of this he seemed careless or
unconscious. After dinner he strolled
away with some of the small boys in
the direction of Mystic Lake.
Miss Boylan looked after him with a
cloud upon her face. The young may

quarrel? he wondered. Some one told
him today that King was an admirer
of Belle Boylan.
“Perhaps they are engaged,” he said
to himself; and he could not have ac
counted for the pang the thought gave
him.
The report was not confirmed by
anything he had seen today. The two
To Mark Line of Lincoln's March in
Indian War
Burlington, lowa. —Representative
Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, a former
Burlington resident, has taken up the
prosecution of a historical project of
interest to Western Illinois and to this
part of lowa. By the donation of a
sum of money he has furthered the
project of setting up permanent mark
ers to outline the march which Abra
ham Lincoln took up in the Black
Hawk war. Only the oldest inhabi
tants in those regions now have any
memory of the course of that cam
paign, which is not adequately outlin
ed in history.
The object of the markers will be
to fix permanently the line of march
and the camping grounds planned by
the martyr President. The way led
across the prairies of Illinois to the
Mississippi river at a point near Bur
lington, then known as Flint Hills.
The march was made from Beards
town, lil., to Oquawka, then known
as the Yellow Banks on account of
the peculiar coloring of the river shore
line. From Oquawka the route was
laid to the mouth of the Rock river.
There were two expeditions in the
Black Hawk war, one in 1831, when
Black Hawk escaped from the pursu
ers and crossed the Mississippi, and
the second in the following year, when
Black Hawk returned to the Illinois
shore with the determination to re
main.
Lincoln was made captain of one of
The Golden Age for September 1, 1910.
had scarcely spoken to each other.
“If there has been a quarrel it will
soon be made up. No man could re

under the spell of the enchantress to
an extent that made him remorseful
when he suddenly remembered Faith.
He looked around for her. There she
Was sitting at the gnarled foot of an
old tree. She had drawn some moth
er’s lost and tired little tot to her side,
and she was stringing daisies on the
long soft blades of the silk grass to
amuse the child.
Charley was going to her, when Miss
Boylan came up accompanied by Colo
nel Dudley.
“We are going for a row on the lake;
won’t you come with us?” she asked.
Colonel Dudley looked black as she
stopped and put the question.
“Certainly,” Charley answered.
“Faith, will you not come too?”
But Faith felt she was not badly
wanted. She shook her head.
“Don’t bother me,” she said. “I am
a jeweler, making silver necklaces.”
She smiled, but there was a wistful
sadness in her eyes. A doubt of Char
ely’s loyalty had never found lodging
in her heart. She had left him free.
She would not bind him by any en
gagement; but she had always felt
sure he could wait until the two at
home no longer needed her care —until
the broken, cross old father, whom she
alone could love, had passed away,
and Claude had won for himself the
world’s recognition of his genius. She
believed in the genius of her dreamy
eyed brother. If only he would finish
the strange, original novel he had be
gun to write, publishers would eagerly
accept it, and her boy would be fam

his wife, was a dream that Faith

the companies which took up the cam
paign against the Indians. The expe
dition gave several names to the lo
calities along the route which are
still borne. It is interesting to note
that twenty-five years after his brush
with Black Hawk Lincoln, when he
was coming into prominence, again
visited Yellow Banks, and, after mak
ing a speech there, came to Burling
ton by boat. Yellow Banks had be
come Oquawka and was a thriving
village.
The markers to be placed along the
route will be of stone and with suit
able inscriptions, and a map of the
march will be drawn and copies kept
on file among the public records at
various points.

RECOMMENDED BY THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES OF SOUTH
CAROLINA.
Any one particular thing, or article,
may have merit, and may rightfully take
its position in the front ranks of articles
in its class, but to be endorsed and recom
mended by an august body such as the
South Carolina House of Representatives,
it must have special merit, proven by
rigid tests. For this reason, Mr. N. F.
Shivar, Shelton, S. C., proprietor of the
Shivar Spring, should be especially proud
of his discovery of the medicinal value
of this water, which has been recom
mended by the House of Representa
tives of South Carolina.
It cures indigestion and dyspepsia and
surpasses all remedies for kidney and
liver troubles.
The following proposition made by Mr.
Shivar enables you to test it for your
self without risk. Send Mr. N. F. Shi
var, Shelton, S. C., a deposit of $2.00
and he will ship you two five-gallon dem
ijohns of this famous water, witn the
understanding that if you are not cured,
or benefited, he will refund the $2.00
upon receipt of the empty demijohns
and your statement that you haven’t
been benefited by the Shivar Spring
Water.
Mr. S. H. Rush, • Blacksville, S. C.,
writes, “I have suffered with indigestion
and liver trouble for nearly ten years,
and during all that time I have never had
anything to benefit me as much as Shivar
Spring Water.”
This is only one of the thousands of
cures this celebrated water has perfect
ed, and if you will take advantage of
the above offer, it will add one more vic
tory to the list.
Write Mr. N. F. Shivar, Shelton, S. C.,
and state to him your case —he can help
you.
