Death of Thomas M GiIland, Esq.

Hon Thomas Mcdowell Gilland
died at his home here Sunday at 5
o'clock a. m. In his death pic
tureslue figure has passed away
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 days
were spent at the old Indiantown
settlement, where his father was
pastor for many years of the his
toric church at that place. This
church was the scene of the organi-
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 en-
tirely 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 ac-
tive service against Potter's raiders
from Georgetown to Sumter. He
was captured in 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 Car
olina set about the mending of her
broken fortunes, Mr. Gilland realized
his lack of the education which his
father could not afford to give him.
Nothing daunted, he put his shoul-
der 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 equal
ly 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

congress, we should be doing something
worth while. If we could get them to
stay adjourned for ten years this coun-
try would see an Unprecedented period
of prosperity"
The Post then comments on Mr..
Hills remarks as follows:
fThere is a great deal of truth in
that remark. Remembering Mr.. Hills
Burlington deal, by which he convert.
ed one hundred and seven million dol
lars of stock into two hundred and four
teen million dollars of bonds; recalling
his Northern Securities plan,, which
would have inflated railroad capitaliza-
tion by one or two hundred millions
more. and looking back to his celebrat.
ed lease of ore lands to the Steel trust,
which would have imposed a huge Gu
mulative burden on the steel industry
for couple of generations, if the trust
had not at the last moment got cold
feet-recalling these and various other
episodes, we have not the least doubt
that if Mr.. Hill were given free hand
for the next ten years, the prosperity
that would accrue to a certain modest
citizen of st. Paul would be something
to amaze the world. As to what would
happen to the rest of the population,
we are less certain.
The fundamental trouble with Mr..
Hill consists in his constitutional in
ability to comprehend that he himself
incarnates one reason why congress
cannot adjourn for ten years. It is
precisely because of Mr.. Hill that con.
gress should, in fact, remain in perpet.
ual session Even then it would proba.
bly, be few laps behind. -
From this it might inferred that the
Post has absorbed the idea that Mr..
Hill "the empire builder is not en-.
gagged in the work in the interest of
the public alone. The Post indeed hints
that Mr. Hill, while building empires is
also jumping the job of emperor. 1t

N investigation, the matter of the
IN compromise made by r. Z. Cabell
while commissioner of internal
revenue, of a government claim against
oleomargarine manufacturers amount
ing to $1,2lO,0OO for the beggarly sum
of $lOl 900, or about one-twelfth of the
original claim, has filed its report. 1t
declares that. on Cabell's own showing
the original sum instead Of being ST.
10000 was actually 100000, and
that Cabell knew this and deliberately
misstated the amount. According to
this, Cabell allowed the oeomargarine
men, who had been violating the law,
to settle a debt of So, 100000, for $1Ol.
600. Considering Cabell's liberal pol.
icy and big-hearted generosity, one can
not understand why he did not make it
an even 100000. Why haggle over
that little measly $1,000 above the han
dy round number of $lO0,O0O3 Cabell
made the excuse that he compromised
because there might be some difficulty
in proving the government s case. Hs
evidently thought there would be Goa.
siderable difficulty, since he rated it as
81 $4,000 worth.
The grand jury says, however, that
there would have been no difficulty ct
all, as there was evidence in abundance
and to spare.
Penalties are provided for the viola.
tion of laws, to prevent their violation

ment to deter others from violating
them. 1t is no punishment to a corpo
ration or individual, to fine it or him
a hundred thousand dollars, for viola.
tion of a law by which n profit of q
million dollars was made, and it GER
tainly does not tend to deter others but
rather to encourage them to like vio
lation of the law. This is an example
Of the asiuinity Of some Of our crimina
laws. We fine the rich, and send the
poor to Jail. When Jail sentences are
meted out to rich and poor alike, there
will be less violation of the law by tn,

is not drastic deterrent. But pop tn
the presidents and board Of directors o
these companies in jail for fey
months or a year or two, and the gov
ernment would get results.
Cabell cannot be prosecuted, his OF
flee protects him, for It was within hi
discretion to compromise these suit,
but unfortunately he did not seem +
have any discretion, There is nothin
to show any crminality on Cabell
part, He is not accused Of being pai
for his leniency, or of profiting by IN

deal will naturally arrive at the cor
clusion that his hands were not left IN

country to become a marsh in a
wet season or at any time when
there is a heavy rain. No place
could have better distributed
drainage channels than this
parish has in it's bayous, provid-
ed they are properly opened up
and kept clean.
Before there is any road build
ing. of any extent, you must
drain your country, give the
farmers a chance to drain their
lands so that they can raise crops
to pay their taxes. then you will
have no trouble in building good
roads, which are second to good
drainage. When you have good
drainage, you can for one-half
the expense build good roads.
The first step our Police Jury
ought to take would be to build
a dredge for the parish, and start
to cleaning out all those bayous,
and straighten them as much as
possible. Keep a force of men
the year around dredging out the
bayous until they are all cleaned
out.
