He lived in a wonderful time an age on ages telling, but he lacked the gift of insight, and so he spent his life in a vain fight against all the great movements which were gathering momentum and changing the conditions of humanity. One will be conscious as he reads his writings that they were the productions of a vigorous intellect which had been deprived of training in early life and had not been. Enlarged by subsequent reading and study. He had no large acquaintance with men, for his life had been spent within the limits of the Kehukee Association, mainly within the borders of Edgecombe, County. He had a prodigious memory and great familiarity with the Bible; an active imagination and strong sensibili ties. I - Ie was a son of the soil, one of the people: and he was always sincere and thoroughly in earnest. He was fearless also and always sure that his plans were right. Such a man is a formidable antagonist, and weak or timid men follow his lead blindly. He died January, 1843.
