Abstract:
The survival of a business founded in 1913 can be found in more than its Tarboro location. What has helped the store to survive two major setbacks can also be found in personality traits such as patience and determination. It is such traits that helped build good customer service and community presence for Marrow-Pitt Hardware and its four generations of store owners.

Abstract:
The mystery around the Chowan River was two-fold: Lost Colonists of Roanoke Island; Dorothie, whose remains are believed discovered in Bennett’s Creek. Both parts of the mystery are examined in Don Upchurch’s In Pursuit of Dorothie, the Lost Colony Ship. Part investigation, part speculation, it explores a three-fold explanation for the two-fold mystery. The Dorothie transported the Colonists out of Roanoke, which means they survived beyond 1590, thus offering Croatan a meaning not related to death, but a new life.

Abstract:
The principals in an operation that is unique to state prison systems in the United States, the work release program, is a plan where prisoners hold their outside jobs, commute to work regularly, and pay $3.25 each per day for room, board, and transportation. The work release program in North Carolina currently has 215 individuals enrolled and is beneficial for the families of prisoners, who are able to stay off of welfare, keep income flowing in, and save taxpayers millions of dollars. Initiated via a legislative act in 1957, participating prisoners have earned $288,946, $92,109 of which has been given to families of prisoners, $78,425 has gone to maintenance, $15,171 to transportation, and the remainder is placed in a fund that is dispersed to prisoners upon their release.

Abstract:
The Constitution of North Carolina was written in 1868 while the state was still under military rule following the Civil War. Many feel it should be rewritten because of its many archaic provisions. Attempts were made in 1933 and 1959 to modernize the document, but both failed. Interestingly, the man who is called the \"father of the N.C. Constitution\" was Albion W. Tourgee, a colorful carpetbagger.
