met their old comrade. Captain Wilkes.
On making known their quest, Captain
Wilkes pointed out property that ne

railroad and 100 on the main street.
This they thought exactly suited to
their purpose. far enough inland to be
safe from attack by sea, and lying
on the only railroad which connecte1
the Conrederacy. SO the Confederate
government bought the property OF
the promise to pay. Nothing was paid
and after the war Wilkes bought the
property hack.

machinery was moved from Norfolk
to Charlotte. and coke ovens, foundry
and machine shops erected. All sorts
OF guns, gun carriages and woodwork
were made here. The coal used was
obtained from Egypt. N. c.. In Cum
