Abstract:
In 1663, Charles II granted the land currently known as North and South Carolina, to a number of his favored nobles, one of whom was Seth Sothel. Desiring to become the senior proprietor of Carolina, Sothel purchased the majority of shares in the colony in 1678 and set sail for the New World. Captured by Algerian pirates en route to claim his governorship in the Albemarle, Sothel remained imprisoned until a bond of 3,000 pieces of eight was paid for his release. Back in London, Sothel was unable to repay the bond posted for his release and was confined to the Debtor's Prison. Eventually released, Sothel sailed again to the Carolinas to claim his seat. Disliked and unhappy, Sothel returned to England and died in 1697.

During the Civil War, prior to his raid in Plymouth, Lieutenant William B. Cushing, USN, cut a telegraph wire extending between Wilmington and Fort Fisher, North Carolina. While doing so, Cushing captured a Confederate courier en route to Wilmington with dispatches.

Upon the soldier's return, Cushing donned the courier uniform himself and proceeded to the fortifications of Wilmington, intent on seeking defense obstructions. In the end, Cushing's reconnaissance resulted with the capture of numerous Confederate soldiers.

Abstract:
In 1936, John Christ of Mount Holly began working on his idea to produce liquid sulphur dyes. Previous to this sulphur dyes were available only as powder which required a chemical treatment before using. Powder was also unreliable. In the process, Christ formed the Southern Dyestuff Company, the forerunner of Sodyeco, Inc. The development of liquid sulphur dyes made the company the leading U.S. producer and a world leader in its own right.
