Pat terson of Barnwell, a candidate for •that high and responsible position. He D Barnwell County horn and raised. In the old days Ills father was a man of large means, hut the storm of war stripped him of inheh of his pos sessions and it fell to his sons to make their own ways in the world, and well has James O v .Patterson performed his part ' On the farm he grew throngh busy boyhood and Industrious manhood and though he has been called to another Held of labor lie Is in closest touch and sympathy with the agricultural Inter est, the true basis of prosperity, of the Individual, the 8utc, the NationV His popularity at liomw among the K snple who have known him from boy- ood is shown by the fact* of his elec tion twice as .fudge of the Probate OourV»rtd three times to the House of • Representatives, a record without equal since the war. Hi* services there were most valuable md resulted In his pro motion to the most important comnlH- tees, and there h*measured up to ev ery responsibility. His life In its public, private and church relations has been spotless and without reproach. In his practice of the Jaw bo has fol lowed the golden rule and while al ways loyal to his clients, has been most considerate to those in need of the charity of Indulgence and assistance. He has helped many, he h.m oppressed' none, and lie ha* constantly and con sistently endeavored to add to tiie hap piness and prosperity of his home peo ple, and no man in the Second District has scattered more of sunshine Into the live* of others. With this knowledge of hi* pure life, hi# devotion to duty, his professional ability, his good hem t,^ hi* attractive personality, we commend him to the voter# of the Second District as worthy of their utmn*t confldeiice, feeling as sured tjiat If elected to Congress he will make a representative of whom the Second District will be proud, and lo the best Interest of which he will give his strongest and sinecrest ener gies. We judge the future by the psst. His years are without spot or failure, and so will his futuro be. „ Very respectfully, , Oitixeo* of Barnwell. versed In the affairs of men and the na tion—his father, the late Congressman George W. Croft. Mr. Theodore G Croft was born Nov. 26th. 1S74. Ho attended schools In Al- J mary ken until 16 years of age and then en tered Bethel Military Academy, Vir- gitihi, graduating <n June. 1801, being at the time of graduation lirst Captain. Afterwards attended the Houth Caro lina College where he graduated in law In 1801, and Immediately formed a part*! nership with hi* father. As a lawyer he has had ennshleraMo experience.. He has been a close student of pol'iflcNl affair*, Is a good speaker and would In every way make an able representa tive. , 1 . Ills personal experience In public af fairs ha* been limited owing to hts close attention to tire practice of his profession, a profession which he ha# ever followed w irli a high regard lor its ethics and a sturdy fidelity in ijs clientage. >Jr. Croft was a delegate from Aiken County to the State con vention in 1002. He has never asked for office before. Tiie age limit for members of the na tional congress is 2r> year*. Mr. Croft will be ;I0 years of age In November next.
