Mr. Gaillard commenced service in the senate December 6, 1804, having been elected tc fill the unexpired term of Pierce Butler, resigned. His term expiree March 3, 1807. He was reelected successively for the terms beginning March 4, 1807, March 4, 1813, March 4, 1819 and March 4, 1825. He died February 26, 1826, having served 21 years and 83 days, or three full terms of six years each and two parts ol terms and having been elected to th? position five times. He was president pro tempore of the senate a considerable portion of that time. Senator Tillman began his service in the senate March 4, 1895, and passed his 21st year of serve March 4, 1916. Thursday Senator Tillman equaled the record of Senator Gaillard and today he passed it. Senator Butler. The South Carolinian with the next longest service to Senator Gaillard was Senator Matthew Calbraith Butler with 18 years, from March 4, 1877 to March 3, 1895. Next came Senator John C.

He entered the senate to succeed George McDuffie, resigned, December 21, 1844, and served to his death, May 25, 1857, s matter of 12% years. Toward the close of his service he aroused the anger of Charles Sumner, who spoke very insultingly of him and of the State which he represented during his absence. Senator Butler was about 60 years old at that time and not in good health. His kinsman Preston S. Brooks, then in the house of representatives, resented Sumner's language and ended by caning hirr on the floor of the senate after the senate had adjourned. Gen. Wade Hampton. Gen.

SAME OLD ARGUMENT. s t History repeats itself. More than f 2,000 years ago a William Jennings Bryan, living in ancient Syracuse on a the eastern coast of Sicily in the F Mediterranean sea, protested ldudly a against preparedness, using the very s argument so| frequently quoted to- v day. a "Even if the enemies were to come v so distant from their resources, and ? opposed to such power as ours, their 1 destruction would be easy and in evi- f table. Their ships will have enough to do to get to our country at all and a to carry such stores of all sorts as * will be needed. They cannot, there- 1 fore, carry besides an army large r enough to cope with such a population e as ours. They will have no fortified r places from which to commence their a operations, but must rest them on no 'j better base than a set of wretched ( tents and such means as the neces- a sities of the moment will allow them. , But in truth I do not believe they would even be able to affect a di's embarkation. Let us, therefore, set ^ at naught these reports as altogether . of home manufacture, and be sure that if any enemy does come the g state will know how to defend itself in a manner worthy of the national honor." This speech is preserved in Thucy- t dides. It is also a matter of record that a very short time after it was made Syracuse was visited by a hostile Athenian fleet and army, its ^ surrounding country made waste and the city besieged. But for the blun- y ders of the Greek general the city would have been sacked and destroyed. It was saved not by its own ^ citizens, but by the timely assistance of allies.
