fhim was the son of William . B.
andSallie Ramsey Duncan. He
I was of Scotch descent and had
the characteristic shrewdness,
common sense,- energy and - de-

knew what he wanted and had
the sense and the grit to go and
get it This i : the thing that
people some times call genius.

overcame them. The. readers
of the New know that he was
a member of the General Assera-i
bly of North Carolina, that he
was collector of Internal Reve-
mie, ' political leader, banker,
railroad man and a ' successful
business man. They know also
that he was kind and affable,
that he was a hard fighter but a
staunch friend, that he had ten
der heart and that his purse was
opened to the needy, that he lov.
. ed his county, his State and his
; country, i
l Mr. Duncan was bora March
28th, 1862 and was therefore fif
ty eight years and five months
of age. . He was twice, married,
first to Miss Carrie King and s

the Beaufort News that during
the last four weeks that ur
pastor Y. D. Poole:of theMetho
dist Episcopal churchof Ilarkers
Island has wrought such wonders
and through Christ has ' brought
so manrvilr sinnerStorepen
tence that we cannot avoid plac
ing same before the people cs
best we can in-order J that ; all
possible shall know of his power
over sinners, p ft ; - O
: The young f people here were
so hard hearted and self confident
that it looked impossible to ever
bring one over on the Lords side
but ML Poole has been the , in-
jstigation through our Redeemer
at ; - bringing Ninty-two young
boy and girls men and .women
in the fold of God. No more
power hath any living man than
has he.v - . " . : .
Just awhile ago he started
preaching here with no more
than two or three dozen people
to hear his first , sermon, while
now the entire population tarns
out when Mr. Poole is going to
preach;
We know . that Jesus Christ
through this humble servant
visited this place and ; brought
about a change that could not
other wise have come. While
some have been hurt by his
elequent speech that bossibly is
not in Christ, others ' have . be .n
made to. feel that there is a
Heavenly father about them. He
has not only dealt with those who
drink and carouse but be has
dealt a heavy blow at those good
folks who think their telve to
good to get on their kneesbefore
God. vw ...
Such Is the cause of our pastor
We know that such tvpc of a
man is the glory in our midst
and we feel proud to think that
God has so wonderfully blessed
us with such a man this year : '
