Testimony OF KlnqStfee Citizens.

When a Kingstree citizen comes

rely on his sincerity. The statements

do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the. kind that

Thomas ri Gilland.

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
latter half of the eighteenth century
and first half of the nineteenth,
exerted such tremendous influence
upon the character of South Caro-
lima and the South. He was q man
of large and varied attainments. A
graduate of Edinburgh University,
if our recollection serves ds right,
he was distinguished not only for
the scholarship and eloquence of his
sermons, but also for his skill With
the violin. At the school which ne
conducted in Chester county more
than one country boy attained a
proficiency in Latin and Greek and
the higher mathematics which a
considerable percentage Of the grad
yates 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 Indian
town settlement, in Williamsburg
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 infexible
courage, and, until paralytic stroke
cut short his career, he was recog-
nized 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 number of years and outside
of his own community was unknown
to many of this generation; but the
people of Williamsburg county do
we'll to honor his memory.-NeVS
and Courier.

Manila may now be said to be up-to-

latest adjunct to it's activities calling
attention to progress in this direction
was the recent appearance upon the
streets of motor car washed in mud
and powdered with the fine dust of va
rious grades of colors produced be-
tween here and Baguio. 1t had made
new record between the summer
capital and Manila.
The machine was stripped to con-

and no windshield protected the driv-
er's face against the hot winds that
blow at midday across the plain.

MUCH TOLD IN THE LETTER
Epistle Better Than Any Other Posi-
BILE Means of Getting True
Acquaintance.

Do you really want to get well ac-
quainted with your friend or your
sweetheart? Then go away for a
while, where a correspondence will be-
come necessary. There is nothing
like letter writing to bring out many
things that would remain hidden from
the beloved in ordinary conversation.
There may be many things hidden in
your own self that you do not suspect,
People who have become thoroughly
familiar with each other sometimes
become lazy about expressing them
selves when they are together. A
few commonplaces, hand-clasp. a
glance-these often suffice. But in the
letter one must express himself, and
much better and more clearly than
when there is expression of the face
and gesture to assist in an interpreta-
ton. You will never really know your
beloved until you have had oeportu-
nifty for long and full correspon-
dence in writing.

MONEY HIS SECOND THOUGHT
Artist Accepted Destitution in Prefer
ence to Sale of His Precious
Works of Art

Destitute in house full of master
pieces, penniless and unknown, an
old man who began life as chimney
sweep and eventually became a sculp-
tor. has died in a sordid lodging at
Ivry, a Paris suburb. Father Frais-
sard," as he was Familiarity known, was
born in Savoy and as boy was en-
ployed as sweep. Later he was APP
prenticed to mason in Paris. His
genius manifested itself and he be-
came a sculptor. If he had consented
to sell his works of art he would have
been a rich man, but he would not
part with them and died destitute. His
two humble rooms we're full of exam
pies of exquisite workmanship. One,
table in black marble, has on 1t
chess board in African onyx, and half
dozen cups and glasses, all beauti-
fully carved M. Fraissard was eight
years in executing this piece of work.
But his greatest triumph took him
twenty-five years to finish. 1t is
black marble table, inlaid with
squares of lighter colored marble, and
is covered with the accessories Of vari-
Gus games. In the center is chess
board; to the right and left are cards
arranged in the shape of fan. In the
corners are dominoes and the cigars
and cigarettes of the players, with
several gold and silver coins. The ma
terials used are porphyry, agate. onyx,
malachite and lapis lazuli. and the
combination of rich tones-red, black,
orange, white and azure blue-pro-
duces a delightful effect. Ninety diff
ferent kinds of marble were employed.

One never gets much sympathy for
