DUNCAN ANO HIS MILL. Th? Situation is Becoming More Complicated ami Ouncan Will Not Talk for Papers. The Union and Buffalo cotton milln seem to become steadily more compli cated as tho days go by, and all aro look ing forward with great interest to the bankruptcy hoaring which is to bo bad in Charleston ou tho 27th, when impor tant new developments aro expected to be brought out in dofinito form. At that hearing it is thought that ox-President T. O. Duncan's position will bo fully out lined and somo of tho various rumors afloat about him definitely auBworod. Just now the intimation comos strong and straight that it is his intention to fight in tho courts tito action of tho now directors in closing out tho cotton con tracts mado in ins name for over 200,000 bales, it being cloar uow that had the directors waited a few days thoy would have beou $080,000 ahead uf tho gamo on this transaction instead of a half million behind, tho total loss hoing a million dollars. And a frioud of Mr. Duncan hero said that it was of record that tho directors promised him not to closo out theso contracts before thc 25th of this mouth. For seven years ho had boon kitiug theso properties through storms successfully, in tho full knowledge of tho old directors, it is said, and Mr. Dun can's friends claim a conspiracy has boen formed to down him, and that he will fight to tho bitter end. Mr. Duncan's attorneys have forbiddou him to talk for publication, but friends who have talked with him say that ho is us anxious .as anybody to recover tho lodgers which recently disappeared from tho company's office at Union. They as sert that these books wore last in pos session of Mr. Fleitmann's export ac countants; that tho two experts Mr. Duncan brought from Atlanta to also go over them were refused access to them; that tho day before they turned up miss ing Mr. Fleitmann's men had them up stairs, and it was presumed that they returned them to tho safo; that Mr. Duncan was out of thu city at tho timo of their disappearance. On tho othor band it is asserted that there wore a dozon or moro people who know tho combination to this safe, lt appears to como from Mr. Duncan that these books showed big transactions against tho Buffalo mills, which it is Mr. Fleitmann's interest to steer away from bankruptcy shoals. It is further asserted by Mr. Duncau's friends that these books showed that in stead of some half a million dollars standing against Mr. Duncan on open account, tho amounts for which ho drew on Mr. Heitmann from timo to timo woro secured by $400,000 of Union and Glonn Springs railroad bonds, somo $200,000 of Union and Buffalo stock aud over $200, 000 bonds of tho power plaut at Neill Shoals. Mr. Duncan has Mr. Floittnaun's receipts for theso securities, and has re cently exhibited thom to friends. In this connection it is also asserted that a load ing Richmond banking coucorn odored to pay tho Heitmann concern all Mr. Duncan owed it on tho securities tho .Heitmann concern had at that time. On tho other hand tho story ?B going tho rounds that Mr. Duncan a short time before tho crash came raised over ono humlreil thousand dollars from three separate and distinct sources on the samo buuel) of warohoused cotton which had no oxistonco except in tho imagina tion of Mr. Duncan. When a correspondent asked ono of Mr. Duncan's closest friends how Mr. Duncan explained disposing of cotton on which warehouse receipts had beou used to raise cash, ho replied that there has beou a custom among the mill people to uso such cotton as they require it and tho credit of tho mill stand for tho amount duo.

Simmous did not make any state ment to-day, and it was not possiblo to get a full account of thu affair from other sources. From what can bo learned, though, it appears that there was little if any quarrel or difficulty before tho kill ing. There was a dance at Mr. Bradberry's home, it was said, and Simmons aud Chastain wore both present. Simmons asked Chastain to carry a messago to some ono for him and Chastain refused. This made Simmons mad and hu drew his pistol and fired, thu ball striking Chastain just above the heart and causing his death. Simmons, it is said, went to his home and remained there until yes turday afternoon, whun he started to Anderson to give himself up. Mag istrate Fant huid an inquest and Simmons, it is said, went by to suo what was going on. Thu magis trate's constable arrested him and brought bim to jail last night.
