IMF T. C. DUNCAN ARRESTED. Charged With Receiving Money Un $)Jj der False Pretences and With Intent to Defraud. ||I i? N ews and Courier. Union, September 21.?Thomas ('. '^Duncan, formerly president of the t?nion-Bu ffalo and other cot I on mills, }ir,,(,s^('d here late last Saturday ;Mftfternoon on a warrant charging him ,jP$tft.h receiving money from the PeoBank of this city under false Lv^gveteitees and with intent to cheat Lwwid defraud, Bond in the -um of' l^ffiL.oOO was required ;in I furnished. |S( The fact-. ii- nearly ;i- can be a>^CT^rtained. ai'e '.hat i:i hei-Mnber <>1 ItOOC Duncan obtained from the Poo-1 's Bank the sum of -+1,1 in payj^jnont of a check or draft upon a bank iu spring City, Tennessee, whore Duncan was (lien doing business, and there was no money iu '.lie Spring I'itv Hank to pay the check. It is illeged that the check was drawn by he American Lime Company at Ibo instance of T. C. Duncan, who is supposed to have been the head of that 'ompany. It is stated that there are other transactions of a similar nature involving an amount of about nine liousand dollars. Since the People's Hank went into the hands of receivers a few months ago the receivers liave made several efforts to adjust these matters, but without avail, and the warrant was sworn out by one of hem. It is understood that Duncan's unlcrtakings and investments at Spring City, where he has been operating for several years, have turned out liadly, and the American Lime Company, which figures in these alleged fraudulent transactions, is thought to je bankrupt. Unless this case is ad justed it is probable that similar action will be taken with reference to Ihe other transactions. HAMPTON LEGION SKETCHES. The First Furlough Granted for a Recruit. Indited by K. II. Teague, Aiken, S. C. i'lie State. My brother, S. M. Walton of Edgefield district, volunteered in Capt. M M. Gary's Company B, Hampton'f legion, when this was organized ii 1801. Tn April, 18G;i. B. E. Nicholson was captain, Gary being promoted to colonel of the regiment. About this time the war department issued an order to grant a furlough of .'t( days to every soldier in ranks whe (d)tained a recruit for his command My brother had been in service two years and in every engagement that the legion had participated in ami was color bearer of the regiment at the time. lie hrd the honor and good luck at the bloody battle of Sharpsburg to rescue the flag after severa bearers had been shot down and bring ii safely out of the fight, ('apt Nicholson being at home on fnrloujrl mi the lime T am writing of.

The captain air rood k do so and whon ho returned to tlx army 1 accompanied him. Wo found (be legion near Suffolk Ya., (lie Yankees in tho town and oui forces outside in lino of battle, ('apt Nicholson immediately reported 1< ('ol.

Many availed themsolvo: of this privilege and I lie legion \va greatly strengthened by the coiniuj to it of fresh, new men. I could write many interesting ex periences during the term, of my sol diering from April, to April. '(> ") two solid years of excitement an< {hardships eommon to us then, hu space forbids. Vet, 1 will detail m; feelings and experience as a Hi-vear old boy the first time under fire The first day I was in ramp I bean the older soldiers guying some of thi younger ones a< to how they had act ed in a recent engagement with tIn enemy. I just thought I could no stand such guyiirr: but my hrotlie told me when he left me fur home t< put on ; bold front a ml -tick to m; captain. The next day two companie of |l;e legion were sent on picket duty one being my company. When thi detachment got to the skirmish lin the. other company went into 111 rifle pits, while ours was put in re serve in a body of woods near at ham and convenient to a railroad cut. A 'lie relieving of the pickets by th other company was taking place th Yankees commenced to throw solii billls : 111 d sliolK ;U u?. This >tirrei us up and ihe men of our compan; -1 i<1 about pr?"ly i-o.'.sideraf?Iy in 'jet ling into that railroad cut. T though to myself now is the time for me ti show off my bravery, but for a fact i was so seared I could hardly stand; 1 managed to do so (hough, until all the others had got in the cut and I was alone, then I leisurely walked into it. The shelling was so great in my mind that I had my doubts of being able to stand it. but I said nothing, though shaking with fear and apprehension. Fortunately it did not last long. A short time afterwards, while in a quiet eamp and 1 had beconie black and dirty, I was passing the captain, when he said to me: "Walton, L think you will make a good soldier; I noticed that you did not. seem to mind the shelling we got. the other day.'' I replied: "The shot and shell did not pay any attention to me, so I did not care to bother about them," but I was feeling one way and talking another. As I had shown a bold front at this first time under fire T was free afterwards when we got into trouble to do as I saw best with myself and never was guyed about, being excited. I do not mean to extol mvself. but sinnilv say ms a fno! that whourver our company was on a inarch I always startcd willi i! and was with it when it halted and was always on hand to obey orders. I do not know whether T ever killed a Yankee or not. I gen'? erallv shot to tiit and there were always dead ones in the direction T aimed. Our ranks are yearly getting tliinner and as we approach the time for the last roll call our thoughts are of . a happy reunion beyond the river, where there will be. no more fighting ; and destroying of mankind. , W. T. Walton. Johnston, S. C. Pine Oil And Its Uses. I A striking example of a seemingly > useless waste product of the forest ? which has developed into a inarke. table commodity of no small hnport? anec is what is known as pine oil. : The crude wood turpentine obtained II from the steam distillation of cer11 tain species of pine must be refined I j with considerable care before it can - 1)0 sold in compel it ion with <rmn I spirits, the true turpentine of crmv I merce. liy redistillation with steam . fliis crude product is usually scparati I'll into iwii snbsl;mccs. The first, i?l which is (he larger fraction, consists ; almost entirely of the product known technically as "pincno." Thi- close? ly resembles <ruin turpentine except 1 for a barely percept ihle difference in - odor. The other fraction is a pro duct somewhat thicker and heavier than turpentine, with a yellow color and a very pleasant odor. This is , known as i' |>ine oil. " r Formerly this by-product had no . market and was either hurtled or i sold for almost nothing in order to ^ <iet rid of it. It was realized Imw ever, that it was extremely poor husic ness to waste three or more gallons ;> of oil for every eord of wood without s knowinu certainly whether the oil [? was of value, and it was clearly uji i to the chemist to find n-es for pine [! i oil. and to the salesman to create a : market. [i Pine oil is now' sold in lank cat [ lots to maun fact nrers of roofini! r> paints and varnishes. Considerable i quantities are consumed in the maun[? faclure of insulating materials, metal s I>t>1 isiics, jind cheap perfume. It ha.* I boon round to yield very cheaply i "terpeno hydrate." :i druir wliich at i present is manufactured by somei what costly methods. I'ino oil lia< al so been suggested as an excellent r solvent for varnish irums for the prol duct ion of liirht eolored varnishes, s Further invest ijral ion may even load s to its use as a raw material in tin v production of artificial camphor. Thus, from a worthless product pine oil has so much increased in value that refined grades may now he sold for from I" to .">0 cents a cralj Ion. The very lowest jrrailes <<11 foi j about 10 cents a srallon. EXCURSION RATES VIA SOUTH ERN RAILWAY TO ^ Chicago. 111., and return. r?
