i PAGE WMjmmmm THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK and stirrups, cartridges for small arms and cannon, percussion caps, swords, bayonets, etc., and at one time there was a factory in which great numbers of pikes, exact duplicates of those used more than 300 years ago, were turned out, and some regiments were armed with these until they could get rifles from England, from the local factories, and frequently from Federals. It was a time when tithes had to be paid, a tenth of everything grown or produced, and the State had store-houses along the railways and sometimes at remote points, in which were its cotton, provisions, etc. Sometimes, on special occasions, many cars filled with powder and cartridges would be rushed from llaleigh to the Confederate war depart ment, and thence be hurried to the troops in the field. So from the grim guns of the roaring batteries aid from the flash ing muzzles of the rifles the powder made in this North Carolina powder-mill did its deadly work and was used by troops from all the States in the South. It was found that the powder made here compared in quality with the best Eng lish product brought through the block ade, and the amateur powder-makers, Waterhouse and Howes, were many a time complimented by the various gov ernors and the Confederate officials upon their skill, the high quality of their product and their promptness in supply ing it in such notable quantities. Now only some holes in the ground mark the site of the powder-mill, for upon the advance of the great Federal army upon llaleigh the plant was blown up, it having stood three miles from this city. But the old mill building, in which cartridges were made and various other work done, yet stands, and the water pours over the rude old dam and plunges into the yellow pool below. To this day thcplace is spoken of as the 44 powder mill," and occasionally some of the copper balls used in grinding the powder are picked up there. Fred A. Olds.
