The decision OF the directors OF the

ters That the action was taken because
, the German government has made IL
hard shedding for American insurance
companies in that country. discrediting
their methods and inferentially at least
their securities. The step that is taken

BUNCOMBE HALL.


Robert Goelet. the New York multi
millionaire. who died in Europe recent
ly, through his mother. was a direct
descendant of Col Edward Buncombe.
the first citizen OF North Carolina
whose name now appears i'm the die
tionary TO describe a boastful and
bombastic form of speech. Col Bun
combe was a native OF the island OF ST.
kits, in the West Indies, and came
over TO this country about 1860, taking
up a large tract Of land in Tyrrell coun-
~, and building upon IL historic man
sion known as Buncombe Hall, which
is stifl standing. over it's hospitable
portals he inscribed the legend:
Welcome all
To Buncombe Hall.
He brought with him from St. kits
a chaplain, a physician. shepherd for
his sheep. a superintendent forhis farm,
a manager for his stock. more than 200
slaves and a rare Collection of silver
plate, portraits, furniture and other
valuables.
His eldest daughter was sent 10 schUot
Record, where she became acquainted
with Peter Goelet, rhe ancestor OF the
Goelet millionaires, and married him.
The Goelets were Huguenots, who left
France after the revocation of the edict
of Nantes and their coat OF arms was
hung beside the Buncombe arms on
the walls of the Buncombe mansion.
They Were painted upon the panels of
the family coach and engraved upon
the family silver.
The origin of the word 'buncombe"
rs traced to a member of CNgress
from that county who was M eriousa
for 'fhifalutin" harangues, and partic-
ularly for bombastic eulogies OF Col.
Buncombe and the county which bears
his name. One day, while he was maxi
