have seen Sumter grow from vii
lage to its present size-alTnost that Of
a city. When you desired to go lit
tie distance out, if you did not own
conveyance Of some kind you had to
walk-that is all over now-you can
call hack and go where you please;
and just to think the time is not far
distant when you will see this old
corner, at the dinner hour and late in
the afternoon thronged with people
waiting for the electric cars to carry
them to their respective homes" said
a getleman who has been resident
Of Sumter for many years.
Eyes, the cars will give quite a city
like appearance to Sumter and viii
prove quite convenience to all, and
trust they will receive tn proper sup
port. We would miss them a great
deal more should they be run for a.
short while and then abandoned, than
we do now,'' said another of the cor
ner crowd
Don't be alarmed as to that" said
an enterprising citizen. "Once they ar
here the people of Sumter will realize
that to keep them they must be pat

the showing of the crop report by

that weather conditions the past week

THE newly elected congressional
representative from, Beaumont,
Hon. Moses Lycurgus Brooks, is
interested financially in the Browns
vile country, having made some
large investments in land in this
section during the past year. Mr..
Brooks is a native Texan, born in
San Augustine county in 1864. He
has seen service in the state legis-
lature, having served for two terms
in the house, and also served as
district attorney in the second judi
cial district for two terms. He is
not only a successful and distin-
guished lawyer, but has also achiev-
ed marked success as a man of
business, and his great popularity
throughout his district proves him
to possess an unusually strong per
sonality. A biographical sketch of
Mr.. Brooks appearing in the
Houston Post recently has the fol-
lowing concerning his characteristic
qualities:
n friend or foe were asked for
the chief characteristics of NJ. L.
Brooks, il is believed that both
would answer, absolute truthful
ness, a broad sympathy with and
understanding of the poor and un.
fortunate, and a keen sense of
humor. As a boy at school his fell
lows learned 10 rely on what he
said; understood that he had no
unkind words for any one, and that
he never missed the point of a joke
or the humor of a situation. The
child is father TO the man. The
same traits have followed him into
his manhood. The measure of sue
cess so far obtained by the subject
of this sketch is doubtless due TO
the fact that the people who met
him believed that there was no
sham or pretense in the man.
Mr.. Brooks election to congress
over Congressman 5. B. Cooper,
who had represented the district
for twelve years, was a surprise 10
many. He toured the district with
his distinguished opponent and
discussed the issues of the cam
paign in joint debate. His success
in opposition to SO strong a candi-
date as Mr.. Cooper shows him to
be unusually popular with the vo-
tiers of his district.
