ACING whirling nerve wreck
ing jib has become the recog
nized spirit of our times yet in
the remote districts lingers a
serenity so unshaken we can but mar
j vel over the dual nature of this thing
wo cull American Customs of the fa
therland have become so grafted 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 1700 there was a gen
eral migration from Pennsylvania
1 down to the hill country of the
linas In nimbly old wagons these
pioneers journeyed laden with feather
beds and delftware sprigs of fruit
trees and sturdy babies
j As the life history is but a repetition
of the race history there came with
I their first strange new year u burst of
I heimweh Getting themselves
er they celebrated as best they could
j in memory of older flays and not once
j through all the years that have fol
lowed have these greetings been omit
i ted
Then tenantry and poorer people of
the neighborhood gather at some ap
pointed place about 9 oclock in the
evening and the march begins From
one big house to another they tramp
dolorously intoning their doggerel
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 its own name still lingering there
Swan Ponds Pleasant Gardens
Mount Welcome Ingleside The sen
timent of all was voiced on one stone
gatepost which proudly bore the in
scription
Welcome all
To Buncombe Hall
Tradition tells us that the owner of
this estate Colonel Buncombe of
course he was a colonel lived in i
the low country and when lip was j
entertaining guests avIsoiii he partial 1
larly enjoyed he had the bridge the J
only means of escape taken up and
hidden in the swamps Most of these
jovial hosts are sleeping now each in I
his narrow bed forever laid but the j
new year has a way of returning and
the shooters return with it j
On the last night of the year as you
sit over the- hickory fire there comes a

s
1 THE NEW TEAR SHOOTERS
u 1
tramping in the front yard and a deep
voice outside begins the so called New
Years sermon vith a forcing of the
1 rhyme worth of Vvalt Whitman
I A loud report being the thing desired
heavy wads are put on the powder and
the gun muzzle held close to the
ground After the shooting comes the
hint
If you are a man of grace
Come to the door and show your face
j The door is then thrown wide and
I the company enter awkward grinning
I and shivering with cold Some of
I them have come from a distance of
I eight or ten miles as the country is
j pparsely settled and must necessarily
be tired but they consider it more def
I trential to stand or if one is iiually
I persuaded to take a chair he sits on
the edge uneasily
The ruddy Santa Claus like old men
exchange laconic remarks on the price
of cotton the youngsters refer to the
possum hunt of the previous night
Some one goes to the piano and strums
nway in a frantic attempt to furnish
amusement They are stolid until she
strikes up Dixie The effect is mag
ical The callers mark time with mud
dy boots and remark slyly
Thats the stuff
Apples and oranges cakes and coffee
are now brought out At some places
the black bottle is passed around Then
the shooters with a relieved sigh pile
out of the door The society manner is
