RIGET WINS CEAMPIONSHIF.
overs Distance of 98 Kilometres and
Stays in Air More Than One
Hour and a Half.
Lemans. Sept. 21.-Tn the presence
of the officials of the French Aero
club of Sarthe. the American ambas
sador, Henry White, Gen. Bazaine
Hayter. commander of the Fourth
army corps, a large number of French
and foreign experts and a wildly
cheering crowd. numbering 10.000,
Wilbur Wright. the American aeron
aut, this afternoon captured the
world's record from his brother,
Orville Wright. with a flight in his
powerful machine of 1 hour, 31 min
utes and 51 seconds, covering in that
time an actual distance of 98 kilo
metres, or the greatest distance cov
ered by an aeroplane in 1908, and the
aero club prize of $1,000 for the long
est flight over an enclosed ground.
The wind was too high in the morn
ing to permit of a flight and ivhen
it fell at 4 o'clock this afternoon
Wright made three false starts.
Finally at 5.15 the aviator got away
nicely, sailing majestically in the
field.
After rounding the upper turn
Wright swept back and began de
scribing elipses.
On the 13th round Wright rose to
60 feet, after almost skimming the
earth.
In the gathering darkness the ae
roplane could no longer be seen at
the farther end of the field and it
appeared and disappeared in the
gloom like a white phantom. Only
the sound of the ceaseless churn of
the propellers told the multitude that
Wright was still in the air. Matches
were lighted to keep watch on the
fleeting minutes and night had fallen
when at the end of the 33d round
Wright came lightly to the ground.
With a mad cheer, the crowd rush
ed forward, only being prevented
from hoisting the American in tri
umph on their shoulders by charging
cavalry.
Among the* first to reach Mr.
Wright's side was Henry White, the
American ambassador. who told the
smiling aeronaut of the keen pleas
ure he felt in witnessing his victory.
The ambassador said that he knew he
was expressing the sentiments of
President Roosevelt and entire people
in congratulating him. Subsequently
Ambassador White said he believed
the American people should present
a testimonial to the Wright brothers.
"If Germany honors Sepehin, why
should not America honor the men
who have opened a new page in the
history of the world?"
Wright told a representative of the
Associated Press that he had de
sended only because of darkness; he
still had sufficient essence in the tank
to last an hour. The official distance
of the flight is given as 66.60 kilo
metres. For the Michelin aero prize
only the time before sunset counts,
and therefore in his attempt to win
this trophy White set a record of 53
minutes, covering 38.6 kilometres.
COTTON MULL INDUSTRY
CLOSED IN MANCHESTER.
More Than Four Hundred Mills Have
Shut Down-Dispute Over the
Wage Scale.
Manchester Eng.. Sept. 21.--More
than 400 cotton mills in Lancashire
are idle today as a result of the dis
pute over wages between operatives
and employers. This means that 40,
000,000 spindles are wholly or parti
ally stopped, that more than $250,
000,000 of capital is not bringing in
any return, and that 140,000 opera
tives are without work and losing
something over $700,000 in wages a
week. In view of the present condi
tion of the market. it is not felt here
that the strike will last long, for the
card room workers are expected soon
to take a secon'd ballot and agree to
Sthe 5 per cent. reduction in wages,
which already has been accepted by
the spinners.
T. C. DUCAN ARRESTED.

Union, September 21.-Thomas C.
Duncan, formerly president of the
Union-Buffalo and other cotton mills,
was arrested here late last Saturday
afternon on a warrant charging him
with receiving mioney from the Peo

It is stated that there are othel
transactions of a similar natnre in

Bank went into the hands of receiv

have made several eforts to adjusi
these matters. but without avail, ani
the warrant was sworn out by one 0:

It is understood that Duncan's un
dertakings and investments at Sprint
City, where he has been operatin
for several years. have turned oul
badly, and the American Lime Com

fraudulent transactions, is thought t<
be bankrupt. Unless this case is ad

the other transactions.
HAMPTON LEGION SKETCHES.
The First Furlough Granted for
Recruit.
Edited by B. H. Teague, Aiken, S. C
The State.
My brother, S. M. Walton of Edge
field district, volunteered in Capt. Ml
M. Gary's Company B, Hampton'
legion, when this was organized ii
1861. In April, 1863, B. E. Nichol
son was captain, Gary being promot
ed to colonel of the regiment. Abou
this time the war department issue(
an order to grant a furlough of 3(
days to every soldier in ranks wh<
obtained a recruit for his command
My brother had been in service tw<
years and in every engagement tha
the legion had participated in an<
was color bearer of the regiment a
the time. He had the honor and goo(
luck at the bloody battle of Sharps
burg to rescue the flag after severa
bearers had been shot down anc
bring it safely out of the fight. Capt
Nicholson being at home on furloug
at the time I am writing of, I wen
to see him and told him that I wai
not quite old enough to go into ser
vice, but that if he would be sure t<
give my brother a furlough I woul<
join the legion anyhow as my broth
er's recruit. The captain agreed t<
do so and when he returned to th<
army I accompanied him.
We found the legion near Suffolk
Va., the Yankees in the town and ou:
forces outside in line of battle. Capt
Nicholson immediately reported t<
Col. Gary on arrival and stated hi
agreement with me. The colonel read
ilv consented and issued an order fo
the furlough. It was soon in th
hands of my brother and he on hi
way home for 30 days. Oh, thos
blissful furlough dahys at home. whei
we were heroes in the eves of th
girls and the recipients of ever,
good thling imaginable from th
hands of the old people. And hos
we hated the shortness of the tim
and had to return to duty, cori
bread and bacon, after devouring th
box of substantial edibles we alway
took back with us. I was the firs
recruit to the legion that a furloug]
was grantedl on-if not the first il
Gen. Lee's army. It appealed s
forcibly to Col. Gary that he forth2
with issued regimental orders urgin;
the men to obtain recruits and ge
furloughs. Many availed themselve
of this privilege and the legion wa
greatly 's trengthened by the comin
to; it of fresh, new men.
I could write many interesting ex
periences during the ternm of mysl
diering from April. '63. to ApriL. '65
two solid years of excitement an<
hardships common ito us then, bu
space forbids. Yet, I will detail m;
feelings and experience as a 16-yeai
old boy the first time under fire
The first day I was in camp I hear,
the older soldiers guying some of th
younger ones as to how they had act
ed in a recent engag'emenit with th
enemy. I just :hought I eauld no
staind such guyinZ: but my brothe
told me when he left me for home t
put 01n i hold from :mnd Knek to m
captain. The next day two companie
of the legion were sent on picket dut.y
one being my company. W hen thi
detachment got to the skirmish lini
the other company went into thi
rifle pits, while ours was put in re
serve in a body of woods near at han
and convenient to a railroad eut. A
the relieving of the pickets by th
ohier company was takinw place th:
Yankees coinni1nce to throw soli
tin into that rairad en:. I though
to myself now is thie time for mei
ta s i sared I culd hI larl :,and:
1 llana.ed to l so tIhoIgh,. intil all
the tothers had .ot in the cut and I
was alone, t hen I leisurely walked in
to it. Tle shellineli' was so _reat in
my Mind that. I had Imy doubts of
being able to stand it. hut I said noth
ing. though shaking with fear and
apprehension. Fortunately it did not
last Iong. A short time afterwards.
- while inl a quiet camp and I had be
come black and dirty, I was passing
the captain. when he said to me:
- "Walton. I think von 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 atten
tion to me, so I did not care to both
er about them,'" but I was feeling
one way and talking another. As I
had shown a. bold front at this first
time under fire I was free afterwards
when we got into trouble to do as I
l saw best with myself and never was
guyed about being excited. I do not
- mean to extol myself, but simply
- say as a. fact that whenever our com
pany was on a. march I always start
ed with it and was with it when it
halted and was always on hand to
obey orders. I do not know whether
I ever killed a Yankee or not, I gen
t erally shot to hit and there were al
ways dead ones in the direction I
aimed.
. Our ranks are yearly getting thin
ner 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
3 and destroying of mankind.

Pine Oil And Its Uses.
1 A striking example of a seemingly
) useless waste product of the forest
> which has developed into a marke
table commodity of no small import
> ance is what is known as pine oil.
t The crude wood turpentine obtained
Ii from the steam distillation of cer
t J tain species of pine must be refined
I with considerable care before it can C
- be sold '_ competition with gum
1 spirits, the true turpentine of com- C
I merce. By redistillation with steam
this crude product is usually separat
1 ed into two substances. The first.
t which is the larger fraction. consists
almost entirely of the product known ~
- technically as "pinene.'' This close
> ly resembles gum turpentine except
I for a barely perceptible difference in .C
- odor. The other fraction is a pro- ];
> duct somewhat thicker and heavier I
e than turpentine, with a yellow color
and a very pleasant odor. This is
,known as ''pine oil. '
r Formerly this by-product had no
.market and was either burned or
a sold for almost nothing in order to
s get rid of it. It was realized how- j
- ever, that it was extremely poor busi
r ness to waste three or more gallons
e of oil for everyv cord of wood without
s knowing certainly whether the oil
e was of value, and it was clearly up
a to the chemist to find uses for pine
e oil, and to the salesman to create a
v market.
e Pine oil is noex sold in tank car
e lots to manufacturers of roofing
e paints and varnishes. Considerable
a quantities are consumed in the manu
e facture of insulating materials. metal
s polishes, and cheap perfume. It has
t been found to yield very cheaply
a "'terpene hydrate.'' a drug which at
a present is manufactured by some
o what costly methods. Pine oil has al
- so been suggested as an excellent
Ssolvent for varnish gums for the pro
t duction of light colored varnishes.
s Further investigation may even lead
s to its use as a raw material in the
Sproduction of artificial camphor.
Thus, from a worthless product,
pine oil has so mueh increased in
value that refined grades may now
be sold for from 40 to 50 cents a gal
Ion. The very lowest grades sell for
about 10 cents a gallon.
