North Carolina - Some Problems Arising in an Ea WYOMING LAW REVIEW VOLUME 12 2012 NUMBER 1 COMMENTARY SOUTH CAROLINA V. NORTH CAROLINA— SOME PROBLEMS ARISING IN AN EAST COAST WATER DISPUTE Kristin Linsley Myles* INTRODUCTION In June 2007, South Carolina sought leave from the Supreme Court of the United States to file an original bill of complaint. South Carolina asserted that North Carolina was using more than its share of the waters of the Catawba River, which flows from the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina past Charlotte and into South Carolina at Lake Wylie. Among other things, South Carolina claimed that North Carolina had improperly approved inter-basin transfers of water from the Catawba into other river systems. South Carolina sought an equitable apportionment of the waters of the Catawba, and an injunction against further transfers. North Carolina opposed the filing of the complaint on the ground that the issue of the flow and usage of the Catawba already was the subject of a proceeding before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on an application by Duke Energy to renew its fifty-year license for eleven power plants along the Catawba.

    The MidMid----SouthSouth Flyer Spring 2016 A Quarterly Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc April Meeting Highlight Presenting Frank Ardrey — in color! Anyone familiar with the name of Frank Ardrey knows of Frank’s reputation as one of the South’s leading black & white photographers from the post-WWII era. Pick up most any book of Southeastern railroad pho- tography from the period, and you’ll find examples of Frank’s classic shots of steam and first-generation die- sel power in an around the Birmingham District. With the passing of steam, Frank laid down his camera and retired to his photo lab, where he spent many happy hours developing untold prints from his large format negative collection to sell and trade with other photographers. Then in the mid-1960s, Frank picked up a 35mm cam- era and set out to document the remaining small-town On one of his depot junkets, Frank grabbed this well-framed shot of railroad depots before they, too, had all disappeared. Southern’s “Birmingham Special” at Attalla, AL in January 1967 What isn’t generally known is that during his depot rambles, Frank also photographed the trains that happened by, much as he did back in the day when he would shoot the occasional diesel-powered train as he waited to take a steam shot. But with one significant differ- ence: While the bulk of his early photography was black & white, Frank’s later shots were taken in color! According to son Carl, from the mid-60s to mid-70s, Frank catalogued around 2,500 Kodachrome slides of freight and passenger trains across the Southeast.

    SaltpeterMiningand the Civil War inJackson County, Alabama by Marion O. Smith Saltpeter Mining and the Civil War in Jackson County, Alabama Marion O. Smith Printed by Byron's Graphic Arts, Maryville, Tennessee June, 1990 FRONT COVER Saltpeter vat cast inTumbling Rock Cave VOLUME 24, NUMBER 2, JOURNAL OF SPELEAN HISTORY, APRIL-JUNE, 1990 THE NEED FOR SALTPETER The formation of the Confederate States of America in early 1861 soon led to a bloody Civil War which created an urgency for all types of munitions. One of the South's most crucial necessities was to find an adequate supply for the ingredients of gunpowder: sulphur, charcoal, and saltpeter. The first two were not much of a challenge. Large amounts of sulphur were stored in Louisiana, originally for use in refining sugar, and pyrites could be roasted. Trees for charcoal, "the willow, dogwood, and alder," were plenti­ ful. Saltpeter (calcium nitrate converted to potassium nitrate) was the major concern. Although some state governments had various amounts of powder on hand, and more was acquired when Federal forts and arsenals were seized, the total was far from adequate. 1 Consequent ly, there were efforts by local, state, and the Confederate governments to insure that there was a sufficient supply of powder and its components. One decision was to buy saltpeter and powder in Europe and ship it through the recently declared Federal naval blockade. Another was to re­ vive saltpeter m~n~ng in the Appalachian caves of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, which had been largely neglected since the War of 1812, and to encourage mining in the Ozarks of Arkansas.

  • The Status of Women in the Charlotte Metropolitan Area, North Carolina
    IWPR #R362 January 2013 The Status of Women in the Charlotte Metropolitan Area, North Carolina Women in the Charlotte metropolitan area,i and in North Carolina as a whole, have made much progress during the last few decades. The majority of women work—many in professional jobs—and women are essential to the economic health of their communities. Yet, there are some ways in which women’s status still lags behind men’s, and not all women are prospering equally. This briefing paper provides basic information about the status of women the Charlotte area, focusing on women’s earnings and workforce participation, level of education, poverty, access to child care, and health status. It also provides background demographic information about women in the region. Basic Facts About Women in the Charlotte Area The Charlotte metropolitan statistical area—defined here to include Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, and Union counties—has a relatively diverse population of women and girls. Thirty-eight percent are from a minority racial or ethnic group, which is a slightly higher share than in the state as a whole (35 percent; Figure 1 and Table 1). The Charlotte area also has a larger share of foreign- born women and girls than in the state overall due to rapid growth in its immigrant population in recent years (Smith and Furuseth 2008). One in ten women and girls in this area is an immigrant, compared with seven percent of women and girls in North Carolina as a whole (Table 1). Figure 1. Distribution of Women and Girls by Race and Ethnicity in the Charlotte Metropolitan Area, All Ages, 2008–2010 3% 0.3% 2% 9% White Black Hispanic 23% Asian Ameican 62% American Indian Other Notes: Racial categories are exclusive: white, not Hispanic; black, not Hispanic; Asian American, not Hispanic; American Indian, not Hispanic; and other, not Hispanic.

    How did North Carolina get its shape? • NC Boundary Commission recommends that we start work on the NC-VA boundary How did North Carolina get its shape? • North Carolina/Virginia boundary – Charter of 1665 by King Charles “All that province, territory, or tract of land, scituate [situate], lying or being within our dominions of America aforesaid; extending north and eastward, as far as the north end of Currituck River, or inlet, upon a strait [straight] westerly line to Wyonoak Creek, which lies within or about the degrees of thirty-six and thirty minutes, northern latitude; and so west in a direct line as far as the South Seas [Pacific Ocean].” I like the part about North Carolina extending to the Pacific Ocean.
