§ 164-1. Title of revision.
This revision shall be known as the "General Statutes of North Carolina" and may be cited in either of the following ways: "General Statutes of North Carolina"; or "General Statutes"; or "G.S."; or "N.C. Gen. Stat."; or "N.C.G.S." History (1985, c. 609, s. 6.) Editor's Note. - It appears that this Article was originally enacted as part of Session Laws 1943, Chapter 33 , which was not printed as part of the Session Laws but was in a separate bound volume in the Secretary of State's office. However, the Secretary of State's office no longer has such a volume in its possession. The volume may have burned in a warehouse fire that destroyed some records. The sections first appear in "The North Carolina Code of 1943 - Legislative Edition," the report of the Legislative Commission on Recodification. As the origin of Article 1 is not completely certain, Session Laws 1943, Chapter 33 is not listed in the historical citations for the sections in Article 1.
