Abstract:
Industrialization in North Carolina quickened in the 1880s, led by the textile industry. Textile mills sprang up in rural areas and towns, thereby leading to the development of mill villages. In this article, Eyre traces the broad outlines of how the functions and character of former mill villages have been altered by the widening economic influences of part of the Piedmont crescent.

Abstract:
Agriculture is the predominant economic activity in south-central North Carolina. Though abundant arable land is available for increased production, expansion and refinement is often hindered by frequent and sometimes severe droughts, associated with high temperatures and sandy soil. Ross argues for increased rates and levels of irrigation that would result in a more consistent and higher quality product.
