THE COUNTY RECORD,
"In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
in men whom men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line

We sincerely sympathize with Mr
Loui* Beaty, the brilliant editor of
tne tjeorgeiown nmes, ?uu iCcently
operated operated on for appendicitis.
The latest gratifying intelligence
is that he is progressing
favorably toward convalescence and
hopes soon to be at his post of duty
again. ______________
The record of .Jerry Moore as
' champion of boys' corn clubs has
been eclipsed by Walter Lee Dudson,
of Alabama, we are told by the
press despatches. Young Dudson,
it is claimed, prod need this year 232
bushed of corn on one acre. Now,
it is up to some Williamsburg farmer
boy to make a new record.
A perfect baby, George Dean,
fourteen montlis old, was deserted
by his parents in Jersey City, N J,
last year and has been adopted by
the nurses and physicians of the
Jersey City hospital, after being cast
aside by his unnatural father and
mother. The little derelict scored
one hundred points, a perieci swrc,
in a "better babies contest", and
yet they tell us that heredity counts
for so much in the grim battle of
life.

Colonel Thomas M Gilland.
In Kingstree last Sunday Colonel
Thomas M Gilland died. He was a
lawyer devoted to his profession, a
cultivated gentleman and a patriot.
When a mere boy, scarcely old
enough to discard knickerbockers,
by the present day fashion, he entered
the service of his State as a Confederate
soldier and served faithfully.
In 1876 he was a foremost
man of Williamsburg county in the
restoration of decency and order in
.
the Stare. In times of stress, when
there was a call for men of brains
and character, as well as for men of
courage, he was the kind of man
whose service Williamsburg was
proud to offer to South Carolina and
the kind of man to respond without
i thought of self.
In every county of the State there
were leaders like Gilland of Williamsburg.
One by one they have
passed away. Only the other day,
n/o urrnt-ja nf Stsmu^l Dibble of Or
angeburg, and those that remain
might almost be counted on one's
fingers. As we all know, the time
came when another type was substituted
for them in the public life
of South Carolina, unwisely some of
us think, but of that the future historian
will be the better placed to
write. With their retirement from
political activities their usefulness
did not end. They lived to illustrate
to the younger generation the
walk and conduct of an honest man
incapable of adapting himself to the
noisier and less modest ways and
methods that the later times seem
to exact as the price of "'success."
One can by no stretch of imagination
think of a Thomas M Gilland
mounting to a platform and haranguing
a crowd for half an hour with
himself and his performances in behalf
of the people as the text of his
discourse.
A gentleman in South Carolina
has not meant one who held himself
aloof from and set himself above
his fellows. Colonel Gilland would
have graced any social circle anywhere,
but he was not less approachable
by the poor and ignorant of his
people of Williamsburg county after
than before he was active in politics.
He whs a strong, good, clean man, I
accomplished and discerning, yet
content to be a private citizen of
Kingstree and Williamsburg and
finding all the earthly reward he
craved in the public respect that an
unblemished life completed and in
the affection that good deeds done
without vaunting gained him from
all sorts and conditions of men.?
Columbia State.
Death of Thomas M GUand, Esq.
Tho rprpivpd a telecrram
while in church last Sunday, statins:
that his old friend and schoolmate,
Thomas M-Gilland, was dead. Mr
Gilland, for a long time and until
he was stricken with paralysis about
fifteen years ago, was the leading
lawyer of the Kingstree bar. He
was Solicitor for one term and ranked
among the first in his profession.
As an officer he was fearless in the
discharge of his duties, as a citizen
upright and honorable,as a man was
one of God's noblemen. There were
six brothers. James, Wilmott, Tom,
John. Henry and Lewis.
James and Wilmott just as they
were merging into manhood died
within 24 hours of each other. John
rose to the Judgeship in his adopted
home at Natchez, Mississippi. Henry
was a prominent minister in the
Presbyterian church and died in his
prime. Lewis was a shining light
in the medical profession and gave
his life to the cause of humanity,
falling a victim to that dreadful
scourge, yellow fever, during an
epidemic out West. Tom, the last
of these talented brothers, was
stricken with paralysis about twelve
years ago and was confined to his
home almost continuously ever 3ince.
He was a son of Rev James R Gilland,
once professor of ancient
languages in Davidson college and
for many years pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Indiantown in
Williamsburg county.
He was buried in the cemetery of
the old Williamsburg church at
Kingstree, of which he was a ruling
elder.
He leaves a devoted wife, four
sons and two daughters. He was
one of the lt>-year-oia Doys in me
War between the States and was
captured by the enemy and remained
a prisoner for several months
until the close of the war. He bore
his long suffering with Christian
fortitude and peacefully passed
away on Sunday morning, December
14, 1913, at 5 o'clock.
Truly a good man has passed to
his reward.?Bishopvitte Leader and
