I wonder if it could be Common Camphorweed (Heterotheca latifolia)?

Have a look at the link below for comparison photos. If you don't think it's CC, you can also try the web site's search function using plant description...

Name That Plant is a great web site for identifying plants found in the Carolinas...

Here is a link that might be useful: Info on Common Camphorweed

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts. You have given me some more areas to search. I was also wondering about Chrysopsis pilosa as a possibility. I agree the web site 'Name that Plant' is excellent for identifying plants of the Carolinas and Georgia and I use it frequently. Yet another confusing yellow composite. Sigh.
