Following the discovery of gold in North Carolina, an enterprising Cornish engineer named Charles McCulloch came to the gold fields of Jamestown, North Carolina to build a gold refinery. He brought with him the architecture of England and the latest technological development, the steam engine. McCulloch Gold Mill was built in 1832 and operated many years as an integral part of the history of Gold Mining in the State and in the Nation.

North Carolina and South Carolina
Two bordering states, along the East Coast of these United States. Both in the American South. Anyway, let’s just start with the question...why are there two Carolinas? Why’d they have to be all separate and stuff?
Both states are pretty religious, with Christianity dominating as the most popular religion in both. Protestant Christianity, in particular.
In terms of politics, South Carolina is definitely more conservative-leaning. North Carolina has become a swing state for presidential elections in recent years, while South Carolina hasn’t voted for a Democratic candidate since 1976, and that’s only because it was Jimmy Carter, who was the governor of Georgia, their next door neighbor. Both state legislatures are majority Republican, however. The North Carolina General Assembly and South Carolina General Assembly are pretty dang similar. North Carolina has 50 Senators and 120 members of its House, whereas South Carolina has 46 Senators and 124 members of its House.
Some state laws are noticeably different in the two states. The fireworks laws are much more lenient in South Carolina. North Carolina has decriminalized marijuana use and possession a bit, and will most likely legalize it before South Carolina does. Although it was really difficult to research taxes in both states, I’ve determined South Carolina as a lower tax burden overall. The most noticeable difference is that gas is cheaper in South Carolina due to a much smaller gas tax. Sales taxes start lower in North Carolina compared to South Carolina, but counties and cities often add their own sales taxes on top of it.
North Carolina seems to have a more promising economic future compared to South Carolina. According to Forbes magazine, it’s the number one state for new businesses. But both are rocking, with similar unemployment rates and job growth rates.
Both states have identical poverty rates. The cost of living is pretty similar, too, although it’s slightly more expensive in North Carolina, especially if you move to Asheville. What the heck, Asheville? I mean, are you really that cool?
More than any other two states I’ve compared so far, North Carolina and South Carolina have much more in common than they have differences. Both are exciting places right now as they look to continue growing thanks to all those dang Midwesterners and Northerners moving to them. But that’s what happens when you’re awesome. You attract people.
Exploring a Sanatorium Prison Hospital -Explore NC-

Opened in 1908. First state institution in North Carolina for treating tuberculosis. Sponsored by Dr. J. E.
Brooks of Greensboro.
Essay:
In 1908, the North Carolina State Sanatorium became the first state institution for the treatment of
tuberculosis patients. Several private institutions, or resorts, were operating in western North Carolina before
that time but treatment was limited to those who could afford it. Dr. J. E. Brooks refused to accept that North
Carolina citizens infected with the lung disease had no other option than to stay home and wait to die. As a
state legislator in 1907, Brooks secured an appropriation of $15,000 to purchase land and build a sanatorium,
and an additional $5,000 for maintenance.
The site chosen for the sanatorium is in present-day Hoke County between Aberdeen and Raeford. The
fear of spreading the infection led to its construction some distance from the nearest town. The mild winters
and summer breezes of the Sandhills region made it the ideal location for patients who often slept on enclosed
porches ventilated by air “tempered and filtered by the sand and filtered and perfumed by the pines.” The
sanatorium opened on April 4, 1908, with capacity for thirty-two patients. A division for African Americans
was established in 1923, a division for prisoners in 1925, and a division for children in 1927. Eventually the
sanatorium housed 650 beds. All North Carolina citizens unable to go to a private specialist could attend the
sanatorium’s diagnostic clinic. However, the waiting list for a bed often was long and it could take nine or ten
months for someone to be admitted. Treatment lasted six months to two years and consisted of strict regimens
of rest, medication, and in some cases surgery.
The North Carolina State Sanatorium was the parent of the state sanatorium system, which grew to
include Western North Carolina Sanatorium near Black Mountain in 1937, the Eastern North Carolina
Sanatorium in Wilson in 1942, and Gravely Sanatorium in Chapel Hill in 1953. The town where the first state
sanatorium was located bore the name Sanitorium until 1948. At that time, it was renamed McCain in honor
of Dr. Paul P. McCain who had served as superintendent and medical director from 1924 to 1946. In 1973, the
State Sanatorium became McCain Hospital. With the increasingly low incidence of tuberculosis, the hospital
was transferred to the Division of Prisons in October 1983. Today it serves as a minimum custody health care
center for male inmates.
