Thomas M Gllland.
The father of Thomas McDowell
Gilland, who died at his home in
Kingstree on Sunday, belonged to
the group of Presbyterian preachers,
who, following one another in the
letter half of the eighteenth century
and first half of the nineteenth, i
exerted such a tremendous influence
upon the character of South Carolina
and the South. He was a man
of large and varied attainments. A
graduate of Edinburgh umversuy,
if our recollection serves us right,
he was distinguished not only for
the scholarship and eloquence of his
sermons, but also for his skill witb
the violin. At the school which he
conducted in Chester cou.ity more
than one country boy attained a
proficiency in Latin and Greek and
the higher mathematics which a
considerable percentage of the graduates
from the average Southern
college today might well envy.
Thomas McDowell Gilland was born
in Chester county, but his boyhood
was spent in the famous old Indiantown
settlement, in Williamshurg
county, to the pastorate of which
his father had been called, and since
1871 he had been a member of the
Kingstree bar. He was a man of
strong mentality and of inflexible
courage, and,until a paralytic stroke
cut short his career, he was recognized
as one of the ablest lawyers
and most eloquent advocates in the
State and a citizen who was ready
to uphold the standards in which he
believed regardless of consequences.
He had been out of the public eye
for a number of years and outside
of his own community was unknown
to many of this generation; but the
people of Williamsburg county do
well to honor his memory.?News
and Courier.
In the death of Thomas M Gilland
of Kingstree, this section of the
State loses one of its brightest and
best advocates, a man who was an
influence for higher and better
things. He will be missed and

Dear Old Santa Claus: ?
I read in last week's County Record
the letters to you from so many
little children it made me also feel
like writing you. and as it is your
custom to send the little child some
presents, I have been one of your
assistants in my time. Once a man
and twice a child fits my condition
now. This letter may be too late to
reach you. but may fall into the
hands of your assistants who may

WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements That May Be Investigated.
Testimony of Kingstree Citizens.
When a Kingstree citizen comes
to the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony
is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
of a Kingstree resident. No
stronger proof of merit can be had.
Mrs P D Epps, Kelly St, Kingstree,
S C, says: I suffered from an
! anufk r>f kidnev corrmlaint and I
: had lame and aching back. I used
Doan's Kidney Pills and they so
! completely relieved me that I have
! not had any need of a kidney medi|
cine since. I cheerfully recommend
this fine remedy in return for what
; it has done for me."

With Oar Advertisers,
The last H?vs of the old Stacklev
dry goods store are near at hand.
Jenkinson Bros Co, who have conducted
this well known store for
some time, are advertising a closing
out sale of dry goods, notions, shoes
and everything embraced in the big
stock, and soon after January 1,
1914, this store will be transformed
into a banking house.
The Pendergrass Bros Co inaugurated
their usual special sale for the
Christmas season today and are offering
a nice lot of fruits,fire works,
bric-a-brac, etc, at reasonably low
prices. Read their ad.
For *32.50 you can buy a good
one-horse wagon at the Arrowsmith
stables in Kingstree. One-half cash,
balance next fall. Who wouldn't buy
a wagon on these terms if he needs
one? See ad on page 10.
? ? ~ l _! I
L D Kodgers & uo nave a cnange
of ad in this paper and, while the
quality of their groceries is soaring
high,prices are as low as the lowest.
Special low prices on men's and
boys' ready-made clothing and hats
are in order at H D Reddick's store
until January 1. This store is full
of attractive goods and the prices
are low on this particular line, as
tke season for winter clothing is
half gone.
S Thomas & Co, jewelers, of Charleston,
have a new ad in this paper
and admonish their old customers in
Williamsburg county not to forget
the "Christmas Gift Store".
The Bank of Cades has a change
of ad in this paper on front page, to
which your attention is invited if
you need money with which to meet
your Christmas obligations.
The Cades Mercantile Co, one of
the leading general merchandise
houses in the county, has a new ad
on first page of this issue, to which
the attention of our readers is invited.
They have a large and varied
stock to select from and their
prices are always reasonable.
Mr V Taylor, one of Greelyville's
hustling merchants, has an interesting
ad on page 6 of this paper,
in which he expresses his gratitude
to his multitude of friends and
patrons in the past and has put on a
special ten days sale of holiday goods
at 20 per cent off. We suggest to
our readers in the vicinity of Greelyville
that they visit Mr Taylor's bargain
house.
Jenkinson 3ros Co have some excellent
suggestions to holiday shoppers
in their ad on page two of
this paper. Their big store is full
of pretty and serviceable goods, just
the kind to buy for presents or for
one's own use. Turn to their ad,
read it and then call at their store,
where you will find the "old man"
and a staff of courteous clerks to
serve you.
Mr S Marcus has a change of ad
in this paper setting forth some of
the many nice serviceable things in
his store that would be well for the
shopper to consider *when in search
of something for hubby, brother or
sweetheart as a Christmas present.
On page 9 of this paper will be
found an attractive ad of the Bank
of Kingstree. It is interesting reading
and there are so many well-said
things in it that there is little left
for this column. This bank is and
has been an important factor in the
progress of Kingstree and is therefore,
a part of the history Kingstree
and Williamsburg county since 1901
when it opened business. For plain,
cold facts read the ad.
