THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK.
ceased during the past decade. There is
now no distillery in full operation within
thirty miles of Newbern. North of the
Neuse river there were in 1893 only eight
distilleries in operation, with an output
for that year of less than 7,000 barrels of
rosin. Three of these distilleries were
in Johnston, two in Nash, two in Wilson
and one in Wayne county.
The lirst turpentine distillery at Fay
etteville was established in 1844 by
Thomas Lutterlow. The same year the
first boxes were cut in what is now Har
nett county, near Manchester, by Henry
Harrison, who shipped the turpentine
from there to F.iyetteville to be manufac
tured. Ten years l iter there was a dis
tillery owned by Jonathan Worth & Sou
in operation in the extreme western part
of Harnett county near Bufl'aloe Springs.
The building in 1850 of a plank road
from High Point to Fayetteville, which
road was followed in a few years by a
similar one from Fayetteville through
the western section of Cumberland
county and another which was projected
to Raleigh through Harnett and Wake
counties, but only partially finished,
caused Fayetteville to become the seat of
a large business both in handling turpen
tine and rosin and in distilling the
crude turpentine. The satisfactory prices
obtained, and the facility with which the
produce could be gotten to Fayetteville
on the plank roads for shipment down the
Cape Fear river to Wilmington, led to the
industry's extending before the outbreak
of the civil war, even to the very western
limits of the pine belt in Chatham, Wake
and Moore counties.
The completion, subsequently, of rail
roads across the western part of the long
leaf pine belt caused a great deal of the
rosin and spirits, manufactured along
their lines, to be shipped direct to North
ern and other inland consumers, without
going via Wilmington. In 1893 over
5,000 barrels of rosin went direct west
by way of Paint Uock, and over one-half
as much went direct north or to Norfolk
by rail, as was shipped by way of Wil
mington. Although the output of rosin
and spirits of turpentine has more than
doubled in the United States since 1860,
the demand has increased nearly as
rapidly until within the last few years,
when there has been over-production
and consequently low prices.
Sunday Evening (Concert.
The regular Sunday evening concert
was held in the music room at the Holly
Inn last Sunday night and was well
attended. All the numbers on the pro
gram were finely rendered, the "cello
solo by Alfred Sominer and the piano
forte solo by May Cook Sharp being
especially pleasing. Mr. St. Clair, who
was on the bill for a vocal solo, was
unable to sing, owing to illness, hut will
appear at a future date. The program
was as follows :
TIME.
(Affectionately Inscribed to D. B. C.)
"They that are born of the Spirit climb to Im
mortal heights where there is no Time."
There is no Time to those whose souls expand,
Who dwell in the immortal realm of thought,
Where Life's solemnities are interwrought.
These build their mansions, not on shifting sand,
All things, above, below, they may command.
With them, the battle Is already fought,
For hourly by the spirit are they taught
That they e'en now, have reached the promised
land.
Press onward then, ye unbelieving hearts,
Until ye too attain supernal heights,
Where ye shall learn of immaterial bliss;
Where false ambition, all abashed departs,
And beatific scenes the eye delights
Would'st thou such blessedness consent to miss?

Last Wednesday's Entertainment.
Last Wednesday evening a large audi
ence gathered lu the Village Hall to wit
ness an entertainment consisting of illu
sions, sleight-of-hand and magical effects.
The stage had been specially prepared
for this occasion. A set of footlights of
peculiar construction adapted to the
needs of this entertainment had been pro
vided, and the whole stage was draped
in black and presented the appearance of
a huge dark cave in which the magician,
Mr. A. C. Buttler, appeared dressed all
in white.
The entertainment was opened by an
excellent selection by the orchestra, and
then the fun commenced. Tables, vases,
fruit and numerous other articles myste
riously appeared or disappeared at the
will of the wizard, who held the close
attention of the audience throughout the
evening. The program closed with the
famous decapitation scene, where a head
and body widely separated appeared on
the stage at the same time. Following
is the program in full :

Ulven a Half Holiday.
Vice-President E. St. John, of the Sea
board Air Line, in keeping with the
broad spirit that marks the man, and
which has put on his side the people of
all the states through which the Sea
board Air Line passes, made yesterday a
half holiday in memory of the birthday
of Robert E. Lee. It was a graceful act
on the part of the distinguished and big
hearted New Englander. Not a few
have remarked in Norfolk during the
trying ordeals through which the Sea
board Air Line has passed of recent
weeks, that the main force toward its
successive legal victories has lain in the
fact, that through such sympathetic
touch witli the people at all points, the
system has come up fortified in the faith
and goodwill of the common folk of at
least five Southern states. Norfolk Vir
