}ir,,(,s^('d here late last Saturday

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

Indited by K. II. Teague, Aiken, S. C.

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

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.

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.
