PEOPLES BANK MOVES INTO
MODERN NEW HOME.
Building MOdcrnly Equipncd and
Well Fitted for Conducting Up-to-
date Banking House.

Remarkably rapid and aggressive
has been the growth OF the Pcoples'
fank, which today moved into its
beautiful new home ON North Main
Strect Despite the fact that it is the
youngest bank in the city. being Or
ganized in October, 1910 with a can
ltal OF $4,000, it has from the first
made itself felt in the financial life
OF Sumter, and now has a capital and
surplus of 100000 and has as it's de-
positors representative number of
citizens throughout Sumter and ad
joining counties.
Practically the same officials have
guided the dcstnics Of the PEOPLES
Bank since it's organization, there
having been only one or two changes
in the board of directors
Almost as soon as the bank had
gotten in shape to conduct business.
Il nome was selected for it at 1G North
Main street. However, il was impus-
Sible to secure the premises at the
time owing to an outstanding lease
on the building, so that temporary
quarters were secured for the bank in
the Masonic Temple building on West
Liberty street. where the growing pat
ronaEc of this bank has been served
until today.
Situated about half way between
two of the busiest corners of Main
street, the new building of the Pco-
Pies Pank is an ideal location for "A
financial institution. 1t is roomy.

the conditions. Just why the board Of
supervisors has neglected so important
a matter at this critical time it is hard
to us to understand AMI in case of an
accident the board should be held res
ponsible. 1t is a shame the way the
dumb brutes have to be made to pull
and strain in hauling freight over such
roads as we have to put up with And
1erc is o real excuse for il, for there
is i re enough thrown away by farm
ors and men Of other occupations and
money enough spent for shot and shells
in illing birds to build a pike road to
build a pike road to every railroad town
in the county. Idleness and extrava-
gance is running the world. There
needs to be something done on our
roads and that quick and lets of it.
