Abstract:
A look at North Carolina's distribution of wealth during the proprietary period (1663-1729) via an examination of land patents issued and lists of tithables. These sources show that North Carolina was mostly a colony of small farmers with a wealthy minority, with less than one percent of households owning 30 percent of the land grants awarded and declaring 30 percent of the colony's tithables. These few families were set apart from their fellow colonists, similar to the circumstances found in South Carolina and Virginia.

One such missionary, Reverend Michael Smith, preached in both South and North Carolina and was the center of several ignoble and dramatic tales.

Abstract:
On Tuesday, 11 November 1851, lawyer William Waightstill Avery shot and killed businessman and politician Samuel Flemming in the Burke County courthouse at Morganton. Three weeks earlier Flemming had beaten an unarmed and unsuspecting Avery on the main street of Marion as a result of their several years of political, legal, and personal disputes. Avery felt he had to kill Flemming to retain his standing according to the Southern gentleman's code of honor, and when tried immediately after the killing, Avery was acquitted by a jury who was determined to uphold the code regardless of the casualty involved.
