- ing as has become the recog:
nized spirit Of our times, yet in
the remote districts fingers q
serenity so ;inshaken we can but mar
vel over the dual nature of this thing
we call American. Customs of the IA
therland have become so grated upon
the newer land one feels the richness
of the past ever mellowing the crude
ness Of the present
One of the most lovable of these old
customs, redolent with the air of feu-
dalism, is that Of shooting in the new
year We first hear Of it among the
early German settlers Of Pennsylvania,
where it has long since become obso-
lete, but about 1850 there was a gen.
eral migration from Pennsylvania
down to the hill country of the Caro-
linas. In rumbly old wagons these
pioneers journeyed. laden with feather
beds and delftware, sprigs Of fruit
trees and sturdy babies.
AS the life history is but repetition
Of the race history, there came with
their first strange new year burst of
heimweh. Getting themselves togeth-
er, they celebrated as best they could
in memory Of older days, and not once
through all the years that have fol-
lowed have these greetings been omit

Then tenantry and poorer people of
the neighborhood gather at some ap-
pointed place about 9 o'clock in the
evening, and the march begins. From
one big house" to another they tramp,
dolorously intoning their doggerel, fir
ing fierce salutes and feasting at the
hands of the gentry
Though North Carolina could never
boast as many stately mansions as
could some Of her sister states, yet for
homely comfort and lavish old time
hospitality she has never been sur
passed. Each Of the dear old places
has it's own name, still lingering there

gatepost, which proudly bore the in
scriptioh:
Welcome all
To Buncombe Hall.
Tradition tells us that the owner of
this estate, Colonel Buncombe (of
course he was colonel, lived in
the ''low'' country, and when he was
entertaining guests whom he particu-
larly enjoyed he had the bridge, the
only means OF escape taken up and
hidden in the sWamps. Most of these
jovial hosts are sleeping now, each in
his narrow bed forever laid, but the
new year has way Of returning, and
the shooters return with it.
