600 square miles, was directly facing
the earth. This spot is very active.
Taking these facts into consideration, it
is not hard for one to stretch his mag
nation and connect the cause of today's
disturbance with the sun spot. Then
again, there is a white line about 10000

Men Who Are Building Up
Our City Trade.
SKETCH OF Mr.. W. E. HAMIL TON.
WeIlMOwn and Successful Young
Merchant Who Has Demonstrated
What Thrift. Energy and Hon
eSty Can Accomplish in
Commercial World.

A boy of eighteen, landing in a
strange town with $l2 in his pocket,
the whole extent of his worldly for
tune, with nothing but determi-
nation and industry and honesty for
his capital.
That was the experience of one of
the leading merchants of Americas,
Mr.. Walter Eugene Hamilton, whose
career demonstrates, as that of so
many of the successful business >nle n
of Americas has done, that the quail
ties referred to are all that is needed
for young man to start life with
and that building on them he can
establish himself in business and win
an honorable success in the mercantile
life.
Mr.. Hamilton is a son of the "Old
North State" He was born at Colds
boro, North Carolina, on September
ID, 1868. His father, Alexander Hamil-
ton, was farmer. During the war he
commanded North Carolina company
and served the South faithfully and
valiantly. His mother was Miss
Martha Worrell, of old North Carolina
stock.
From both the paternaI and ma
terral side the subject of this sketch
was endowed with a sturdy industry
and straightforward honesty in deal
ing with mankind.
His mother dying when he was very
young, Mr.. Hamilton was reared by
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-06-16

his grandmother, who lived ia Colds
bor6.
After receiving a common school
education there he left his home, when
| eighteen years of age, and found his
way to Waycross, Georgia, arriving
there, as stated, with $12 in his pocket,
but abundance of willingness to work
He speedily found employment
in the commissary of Coleman 81
Park, turpentine operators, near that
place.
With that firm he remained for two
years, getting his first insight into
commercial methods. In 1888 he re-
moved to Cordele, where he was en-
gagged in the city lighting and power
plant, managing it for the municipality
or year. 1t was while resident at
Cordele that he was married to Miss
Mora Norris, of Montezuma, happy
union. Seven living children make
happy the home hearthside.
From Cordele Mr.. Hamilton removed
to Aiken, S. c.; where he was in the
service of the South Carolina Light
and Power Co. for four years. In 1898
he left Aiken and located at Richland,
where he first engaged in business for
himself, opening there with a general
stock of merchandise. After two
years he sold out this business and
located at Dadeville, Ala, where he
remained twenty two months.
1t was then 1898, and satisfying
himself that Americas was an excel
lent point at which to locate and de-
velope larger business, Mr.. Hamil-
ton established himself here, opening
up on Forsyth street directly across
from his present quarters. There he
remained three years, winning the
confidence Of the public and steadily
building up an excellent trade.
Six years ago he removed to the
quarters in the Planters Bank building,
where he has since continued to de-
veIop his business in a most satisfac-
tory manner.
Having firmly established himself,
Mr.. Hamilton has felt the need of
greater Accommodations in which to
eqpand to meet the requirements of
his growing patronage. He has ac
eordingly engaged the new store
now being erected by Mr.. Holiday on
Lamar street, in front of the Windsor
Hotel.
There he will be located, beginning
| with September. In this new build
ing he will have six times the room OF
his present quarters. He will add
several departments to his business,
carrying an extensive line of gentle
mems furnishings and clothing, as
well as large line of carpets, rugs,
trunks, etc., for which he has hereto.
fore had no room. He will also expand
in the dry goods line.
Mr.. Hamilton is member of the
Methodist church. He is an Elk and
Knight of Pythias. He has host o.
friends who are glad to see him clint
the ladder of commercial success.

1t is developed to-day, with the filing
of the charter that Parsons device will
not only be public benefaction in dis
posing of all the black smoke and an
noying gases of the coal-burning loco
motives, but that it will save the COM
pany so per cent. of It's fuel.
st has demonstrated that at least
one half of the fuel can be saved by it's
use," said Former Attorney General
Herbert H. Ward, of Delaware, coun-
sci for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
one of the incorporators.
It's great saving to the Pennsylvania
Company in one city alone will amount
away up into the millions,
In the District of Columbia, an or
dinance was put into effect providing
that after July l oal-burning locomo-
tives entering the city of Washington
would either have to equip themselves
with smoke consumers of some sort or
would have have to give place to cleo
trical locomotives,
This would mean that the PennsyI-
vania Company would have been put
to an expense of S., 900, 900 in equipping
all their trains with electrical Iocomo-
tives, had not this DEVICE been invent
ed.
The device resembles a large French
horn. 1t has large bell or funnel
like mouth, which takes the black
smoke and gases and draws it around
through circular tubing until it is
chemically separated and returned to
the fire pit, where it is burned all over
again and makes an intense heat.

The Only Hope to Rheumatic Sufferers
is Uric-O Treatment.

If rheumatism continues TO spread
as it has in the past few years, 1t
would seem as though we would before
long become a nation of crippleS. The
terrible dcStructivcncSS Of this disease
is apparent on every side of us Al
most nine out of ten Of the cripples
one meets had their affliction brought
on by Rheumatism. How many thou
sands more there are that are hope
lessly bed-riddnn and whom we never
see. rheumatism from the very
nature of the disease, can never cure
itself and if neglected. is bound to
grow worse rather than better. If you
ever have any twinges of rheumatism
go to Percy w. Means drug store right
here in Augusta and get bottle of
Uric-O, the wonderful new Rheumatic
Specific. 1t will cure you and it is the
only treatment in the world that will
cure you permanently and thoroughly.
Uric-O cures by its direct action on
the muscles. blood and Kidneys. 1t
seeks out the poisonous Uric and
Rheumatic Acid and drives it from the
system and it is only treatment of
such a nature that will ever cure
Rheumatism. Liniments and plasters
only serve to drive it from one spot to
another They never cure Rheu-
matism. because it is primarily a
blood disease, and until the blood is
cleared from the poison. cure can
not take place.
There never was case Of Rheu-
matism that Uric-O could not cure and
you should not put off taking it be-
cause it is in the end by far the cheap
