Colonel I "fc juilliard was a self_made man in the t'ce sense of having shaped his own career. In the early eighties he was feU(j< \ lad attending the famous Mount their Zion Academy at Winnsboro, then efflci taught by that distinguished scholar and noble-hearted gentleman, the pUbu late Prof. H. Means Davis. It so hap- this pened that he could not continue at lessn school, owing to straightened circumstances, so he accepted a clerk- I ship in a store at Winnsboro. Rut the ambitious boy was not contented work to remain behind the counter. i Th is About this time there was a va- sjlou cancy at the United States Military j "i Academy at West Point and, though $18.< poorly prepared to stand a competltlve examination for the cadetship, |?,pr, he determined to make an effort to j rpj win it. So with Prof. Davis to coach |)av him he went earnestly to work to prepare himself as best he could for j pr the examination. He won the prize ' js aj iii the competitive examination and f in due time was graduated from West awsn Point high enough in his class to be aKjta assigned after graduation to the en- I glncering corps, the Rejection being : rpj made from the five ranking highest ??I)re1 in the class. ' jeast From that time on his promotion Wava was rapid, considering how slow a mn^ process it is to be advanced in the ITnited States army. Ilis signal ____ achievement was at Panama, where p-p he worked for years, finally overcoming almost superhuman diflicul. ties in the Culebra cut, caused by the treacheous slides with which no he had to contend from the be- ?Th ginning of the job until its completion. He lived until his work was almost done .and just at the time Th when he was about to lie rewarded with the stars of a brigadier general. 1 ' * lie had to answer to the last roll call. The career of Colonel Gailllard diould fire the ambition of many a ,,.,rij( lioy better favored by circumstances week than he.
