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:
In North Carolina politics between 1835 and 1861, a close two-party system that mimicked the national stage existed. Senatorial elections in the state legislature were a constant example of the rivalry between the Whig and Democratic parties. These elections were often riddled with questions of personal, regional, and ideological alliances, both within each party and between.

Abstract:
In both North and South Carolina, there is a story of a supposed conversation between the governors of the two states in which one remarks to the other, 'It's a damn long time between drinks.' Historians have attempted to track down the saying to its origin but have had little success. Purported roots of the saying have been identified between governors in 1838, 1867, and the 1870s.
