Abstract:
Political analysts have worked through numerous amounts of general election votes cast in North Carolina's November primaries. Among many conclusions, one reveals that voting in the state is split on the tickets.

While ticket-splitting also awarded the Republican Party a seat in the US House of Representatives, Democratic senators retained their posts and the entire slate of state offices remains Democratic.

Abstract:
Farmers are being hurt by the credit squeeze imposed by North Carolina’s six-percent interest ceiling. Large and small-scale North Carolina farmers have traditionally financed their machinery and equipment, and borrowed for living costs against their crops, through financial institutions. Because higher interest rates in other states are luring away low capital, private credit to farmers is said to be increasingly unavailable in North Carolina.
