- Of .Cabarrus Coinage ,
Charlotte Observer.
The "goose honks high, brother."
says the Maxton Kcottisn (Jmer. in
supposed correction of The Observer,
which shows how much that paper
knows about it. It was the old Scotch
saying that the "goose honks high,"
but it was Cabarrus county, North
Carolina, which originated the say
ing that the goose "hangs high." The
expression -originated from the once
famous gander pullings, that - were
held once S year at Ganderoburg,
where Assistant Postmaster Bradford
was born. The gander pulling was a
earricature Jon the princely tourna
ment. Instead of poking lance at
rings, the rider .would reach np his
hand and 'try to pull off the head of
goose suspended by the feet from
erosspieee. The neck of the goose
would, be greased, and the hand, of
the man that succeeded in pulling off
the head must of necessity have been
as bard and tough as' bis character,
And instead of tbe successful Knight
of the gander pulling crowning the
Queen of Love and Beauty, be would
officiate at the ceremonial pulling of
a eorn cob stopper from a jug of corn
liquor. ' It was tbe derisive snout as
each Knight failed that ''the goose
bangs high,' hence tbe saying.
