Mr Wolfe,allow me,through these
columns, to express the general sentiment
concerning the last week's
issue of your paper. It certainly was
a "hummer", which, in the vernac
ular of the slangy American, means
an extra fine and pleasing issue.
Your correspondent feels that it
would do credit to any of the many
largest daily newspapers of our
State.
Best wishes and the compliments
of the season to you and your readers.

Death ol Thomas M Gilland, Esq.
Hon Thomas McDowell Gilland
died at his home here Sunday at 5
o'clock a. m. In his death a picturesque
figure has passed away
j from the scene of his trials and
| triumphs. Mr Gilland was born in
Chester, S C, July 6,1848. He was
the son of Rev James R'Gilland,
a Presbyterian divine who moved to
South Carolina from Pennsylvania
before the war, and Mary C Gibbs,
Camden, S C. His boyhood day6
were spent at the old Indiantown
settlement, where his father was
pastor for many years of the historic
church at that place. This
church was the scene of the organi
j zation and the rendezvous of the
four Williamsburg companies which
formed the nucleus of Marion's
famous brigade and which was later
burned by the British because it was
alleged to be a "sedition shop."
His early education was such as the
inadequate country schools of those
days afforded and was stopped entirely
by the breaking out of the
Civil war. As a boy of 16 years Mr
Gilland volunteered in the closing
months of the struggle, was elected
captain of his company and saw active
service against Potter's raiders
from Georgetown to Sumter. He
was captured in a skirmish the day
before the battle of Dingle's Mill
and was imprisoned in Charleston
until the cessation of hostilities.
After the war ended and South Carolina
set about the mending of her
broken fortunes,Mr Gilland realized
his lack of the tducation which his
*
father could not afford to give him.
Nothing daunted, he put his shoulder
to the wheel and made his way
through college.
About 1871. Mr Gilland settled in
Kingstree for the practice of law
and from that time until his health
failed he was a commanding figure
in Williamsburg county and the
Third Judicial circuit.
As a lawyer Mr Gilland had few
equals in the State. He was equally
at home before court or jury. He
could address the court with cold,
hard logic so that his conclusions of
law were convincing and final, or
with equal facility appeal to a jury
with an eloquence that would sweep
them from their feet and move
them to his will. Mr Gilland was
I not a seeker after political honors,

preferring rather the life of the ad
vocate. He served one term as Solicitor
of the Third Judicial circuit
and was a member of the Constitutional
convention of 1895. Mr Gilland
suffered a stroke of paralysis
in 1898 and never recovered sufficiently
to engage in active business
again. For the last three or four
years he has visited his office only at
at rare intervals.
Mr Gilland was married Sunday,
April 1, 1877, to Miss Louise i
Brockington, the daughter of the
late Dr James S Brockington of
Kingstree, who survives him and
who during all the years of his affliction
has been his devoted companion
and faithful nurse. Besides the
widow the following children mourn
a father's loss: Mrs Louise Sherfesee,
of Atlanta, Ga; Louis W Gilland,
J D Gilland, W S Gilland, Mrs
R C McCabe and Thos M Gilland, Jr.
The funeral services, conducted at
the home of the deceased by Rev P
S McChesney, pastor of Williamsburg
Presbyterian church, at 12
o'clock,noon, Monday,were attended
by a large concourse of relatives and
friends, after which the body was
taken in charge by Kingstree Lodge,
A F M and borne to the Williamsburg
cemetery, where the interment
took place according to the Masonic
ritual.
