Abstract:

One important phase of the history of American music is the story of the Moravians. In 1753, the principally German groups spread to North Carolina to establish a settlement known as Wachovia. The musical life in Wachovia revolved around Salem. Here they composed elaborate concerted anthems accompanied with string quartets or large ensembles, considered some of the finest choral masterworks of the 18th century.

Abstract:

A key statutory exception to the rule against enforcing contractual attorney fee provisions is found in Section 6-21.2 of the North Carolina General Statutes, which allows enforcement of attorney fee provisions in notes, conditional sale contracts, and \"other evidence of indebtedness\" under certain circumstances. Since 1967, this statute has been the main statutory exception applicable to fee provisions in contracts and the subject of much case law. In June 2011, the North Carolina General Assembly added another major exception by creating G.S. 6-21.6, which authorizes courts to enforce reciprocal attorney fee provisions in business contracts. This bulletin discusses the law surrounding the existing statute and introduces new G.S. 6-21.6.

Abstract:

Recently the General Assembly made significant changes to the statutes governing decedents' estates. These amendments included an effort to capture the range of contested estate issues into a general, defined category and to set rules to govern them. The new legislation designates these matters as \"estate proceedings\" and goes on to specify the procedures that apply to their adjudication--from filing to litigation to hearing to appeal. This bulletin discusses the new procedural framework for contested estate proceedings.

Abstract:

After torpedoes plowed through Mobile Bay in 1864, the North and South became riveted on the last remaining port open to the Confederacy in Wilmington. In an attempt to smash Fort Fisher, guardian of the Cape Fear River approach to Wilmington, Rear Adm. David D. Porter was recalled from the interior to the Atlantic coast to lead the U.S. Navy in land-sea assaults on this last stronghold, and lead the final significant naval action of the American Civil War. This article displays the letters of Porter, as he discusses the preparation of attacks on Fort Fisher, the importance of Wilmington, supply problems, and administrative confusion.
