SKETCH OF Mr.. A. 6. DUNCAN.

Mr.. A. G. Duncan, one of the pro-
gressive and prominent retail merchants
of Americas, is also one of its youngest.
He was born in Macon county, Geor-
gia, on November IL, 1877, and is now
in his thin tieth year. Despite this he
has been merchant for nearly eleven
years, having begun his career in the
world of business when but nineteen
years of age, preferring to act on his
own responsibility and devote his
energies and abilities to his own adj
vancement rather than to remain in the
employ of others.
Mr.. Duncan's father, Rev. w. d.
Duncan, was a we'll known Baptist
clergyman. His mothers maiden
name was Miss n. A. Foster, member
of a well known Buena Vista family
His father died when the subject of
this sketch was an infant, and he and
three other children were reared by
their mother.
From Macon county the family re-
moved to Tazewell and thence to Buena
Vista, at both of which places George

held the office only until the following
year when he was appointed Secretary
of the Treasury
In 1916 there were many who pre-
ferred him to Monroe for President OF
the United States, and he received a
large vote in Congressional caucus.
Upon E9onroe's accession to the
Presidency he continued Crawford as
Secretary of the Treasury, among his
colleagues in the cabinet being j. @.
Adams and John e. Calhoun. A polit-
zeal and personal hostility arose be-
tween Crawford and Calhoun concern
ing the powers and duties of the Fed
eral Government. In 1924 Crawford
was regarded as the logical and des-
tined successor to Presid ent Monroe
Congressional caucus nominated
him as such.
Calhoun, Jackson, Adams and Clay,
the other candidates, combined against
him, and in the heat of battle, he was
charged with official misconduct as
Secretary of the Treasury, He de-
manded an immediate investigation by
Congress, and committee was APP
pointed for this purpose, among the
members being Daniel Webster and
John Randolph.
The committee made a unanimous
report declaring the falsity of the
charges" He was completely exoner-
ated. In the Presidential election
Crawford received fortv-one electoral
votes, ten more than Henry Clay re-
ceived. j. Q. Adams was elected
President. Just about this time Mr..
Crawford was stricken with paralysis.
He had long sickness. He returned
to Georgia from Washington, and in
his latter years was a circuit ldge.
The above running recital will give
an idea of the fruitful and interesting
theme upon which Mr. Ship is engag-
ed. Mr.. Crawford's life was filled
with exciting episodes aid wise and
patriotic deeds.

Duncan, as he is always known, re-
ceived his education. 1t was at Buena
Vista that he began his business career
in 1896, with stock of general
merchandise. He remained there for two
years, and in 1898 removed to Americas
to secure the advantage of a broader
and more progressive field Corporations.
Here he opened up with a limited
capital but an abundance of determi-
nation and pluck, establishing himself
under the Windsor Hotel, then remov-
ing to the corner of Jackson and
Forsyth streets to larger quarters.
These proving inadequate and in
capable of the improvements demand
ed by his requirements, Mr.. Duncan
about four years ago secured his pres
ent very commodious and handsome
quarters on Forsyth steet, where he has
since remained. Since then his bust
ness has been incorporated as The
which title it is now conducted by Mr..
Duncan.
In his new establishment Mr.. Duncan
has developed his trade along the lines
of high grade dry goods, ladies dress
goods, and gentlemen's furnishing
establishment. Possessing excellent
taste and judgment as buyer he has
adapted his stocks to the needs of his
growing patronage in each of these
departments.
In 1904 Mr.. Duncan was married to
Miss Flora Hamil daughter of Mr.. A.
j. Hamil, a retired merchant of Ameri-
Gus.
Mr.. Duncan is a man of very genial
qualities and has host of friends. He
is a member of the Elks, Red Men,
Knights of Pythias, and is also Mason
He is a member of the Methods t
church. Strong and vigorous, am
bilious and pushing, his future bust
ness career should be marked with
much success.

HAVE YOU YoURsp

R REPRESENTATIVE FOWLER, of New
~ Jersey, has discovered that more than
billion dollars in currency is being carried around
in the pockets OF the people According to Mr.,
Fowler, this is about $I2 each for every man,
woman and child in the country. Assuming tfat
five is the basis Of the average family, the head
OF the family must have in his pockets 500 every
day
This practice is condemned by some observers
OF Mr.. Fowler's statement as lacking thrift, as
500 for man to have in his pockets is too much
Some of it ought TO be put in the banks, they
say Every man in Wilmington who has either
500 or even SI2 in his pocket should rush to
the savings bank The fellows who haven't the
500, or even SI2 and possibly there are just
few OF them, need not worry, except to think that
some other chap has the amount necessary to
make up the average.
