It was not Mr i Dudley'4 idea to use these knots ' for heating purposes but to extract from them the; many ele ments which he knew they contained. - "Lack of. time, to .devote to the work of V putting his, ideas into operation at that time but a few- months ago an opportunity 'i arrived which led. him to erect a " plant atOriental in - which his long1 : cherished - dream- is now. being realizzcd. - "!,",- j- . During the-, past few , months the nade of the dental Pine OilCompany has become familiar to the residents of Eastern: North Crolina.jThis is the" name of Mr. ' Dudley's concern. The plant, which incidently is the only one of its kind in the'world, is located on, a point of land which gives it ' ex cellent docking facilities' and in fact is ideally situated. Z,' j ' A" few days ago a. Journal reporter," who ha4 heard of this unusual plant, paid it a visit and what he saw there was ' indeed ; interesting."-- The . chief objects of interest are two large air tight kettles,, or they might be called furnaces. In these are placed-the pine knots and fire is applied beneath them, A teriffic temperature is obtained and this draws from: the knots the oilwhich thav:- contain. Frora-J thesi. kettles-1 the oil is carried to a part where,1t allow ed to settle .and. is -r then, carried on to the cooling vats. - If only a - medium grade of oil is desired the contents of this vat ire not-, disturbed but from still another one is secured the; very finest -grade of oil. v From this -latter vat the draining are "i very low grade of oil and are used in the manufacture of creosote and floor oils. After the oil is taken from the vats Mn Dudley, has If . taken, to his 'well equipped ' laboratory which -is - in the same" building and'- there ' is - prepared creosote, paint, .rheumatic 'Oils,: oif to be used in paint,- and varnish. Each of the products of the plant -have been given, a thorough triit -and already Mr. ' Dudlsy . is running his plant . at a full capacity in order to supply the hundreds 'of orders he receives each week. - - i Going back to the two large kettles mentioned at first it is found that the pine Jcnots have been turned Into char- coaL. ji. As nu'ghf be supposed -this is one - of :; the.,, very "" finest - grades,- not having been touched by the1 fire,' and Mf.' Dudley has standing . orders for all that he can supply to a large drug manufacturing concern. ' ' - , " H .There is .OQt.thj Jeast danger of the plant ever running short of pine knots The ' owner has taken the - precaution to secure option on hundreds, pf. acres thickly wooded land and ha-j enough mated il it hand to- supply .the plant for many- yeirs and down in that sec tion of the country,.- where one finds thousands of . pine trees, there -- little probability of the supply ever becom ing exhausted. , - ' " In addition to managing and opera ting . this plant, - Mrw Uudley is-, also the owner of the Standard Fish Com pany, loeitea at urientai, ana is one of the largest shippers of fresh fish and oysters in hast rn INortn.

LARGE STILL DESTROYED WAS LOCATED NEAR THE TOWN OF BEAUFORT OPERA TORS ESCAPE Parts of a stili which waS estimated to have a capacity of about one hun dred and fifty gallons, was located and destroyed near Beaufort Wednesday j afternoon by U. S. D;puty Marshall I. M. Tull of Kinston and Sheriff Han cock of Beaufort. A few weeks ago a raid was made in that section but the operators of the plant had been "tip ped off" of the approach of the reven ue men and had removed the plant. Thi operators of the plant f.Kind Wednesday afternoonhad evidently re ceived word that the raid wis to be made tor only a part ol ihj still was found, the kettle having bee removed. However, the owners of the plant did not have time to remove it all and the "worm." was left intact by thsm. This was mide of the very best of mat erial and was very costly. Only a few gallons of low wine were found and this wis destroyed. The revenue officiils have an idea who the operators of the plant are but no arrests were made.
