	North Carolina - LoveToKnow 1911
		North Carolina has a climate which varies from that of the S.E. corner, which approaches the sub-tropical, to that of the Mountain Region, which is like the medium continental type, except that the summers are cooler and the rainfall is greater.
		The population 1 of North Carolina increased from 1,399,750 in 1880 to 1, 61 7,949 in 1890, or 15.6%; to 1,893,810 in 1900, a further increase of 17.1%; and to 2,206,287 in 1910, an increase of 16.5% since 1900.
		The history of North Carolina may be divided into four main periods: the period of discovery and early colonization (1520-1663); the period of proprietary rule (1663-1729); the period of royal rule (1729-1776); and the period of statehood (from 1776).

	Province of Carolina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		That, coupled with the outbreak of war with the Tuscarora and the inability of the Lords Proprietor to act decisively, led to separate governments for North and South Carolina.
		Some take this period as the establishment of separate colonies, but that did not officially occur until 1729, when seven of the Lords Proprietor sold their interests in Carolina to the Crown and both North Carolina and South Carolina became royal colonies.

	ESTIMATED DEPTH TO GROUND WATER IN NORTH CAROLINA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Estimates of depth to ground water in North Carolina are useful in assessing the vulnerability of public drinking-water supplies to contamination at or near land surface.
		Because the ground-water system in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Provinces consists of fractured crystalline rock overlain by regolith, measurements of depth to water in shallow fractured rock are considered to represent the water table.
		In the Piedmont Province, land-surface altitude, slope, and average annual precipitation accounted for about 33 percent of variation in the data; distance to the nearest stream, soil thickness, and soil permeability did not account for significant variation in depth to water.

	Captain Benjamin Merrell & The Regulators
		The "War of the Regulators" has taught mankind that oppression, misrule, and extortion tinder any government tends to weaken and ultimately destroy the power of the oppressor; and that a people united in the cause of freedom and their inalienable rights are invincible by those who would enslave them.
		But it is unnecessary to further recount the outrages inflicted upon a suffering people and we have scarcely begun to enumerate their deeds of wrong-doing for enough has already been given to show that the people had cause for every step they took, and no one will be inclined to say them nay.
		The people of' North Carolina will ever feel a keen interest in the life and tragic end of Capt. Benjamin Merrill, This interest is heightened when they call to remembrance the dark, stormy days and years which preceded the Revolutionary Warp and his espousal of the cause of liberty.
