| loss."I received part of my teaching
from Judge McIver and he has been to
me what he has to others who have
learned to look to him. AS 1 come into
this room, the very boards of this
floor, where he so often stood. the
bench on which he sat, are all hallow-
ed ground. Due largely to. his influ.
ence the Chesterfield bar became not
ed for its freedomsfrom pickering and
strife. 1t was he who ever poured oil
on the troubled waters. He lived a
success, he died success. Many years
will pass before the benefcient in
fiuence of his life will pass from the
Chesterfield bar. AS think of him, two
beatitudes come forcibly into my
mind: BLESSED are the peace
makers, for they shall be called the
children of God"
BLESSED are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God"
Mr.. P. A. Murray said in part: At
the death of Judge Edward McIver all
South Carolina is plunged into grief.
l loved him much. 1t has been said
that ga prophet is not without honor
save in his own country" This does
not apply to Judge McIver. 1t is the
lot of few men to be so loved and hon
ored by their fellow men. The very
name of McIver has become a syn
onym of honor and justice. AS law
yer and as man he had few equals
and no superiors in the state. AS a
judge all speak in the highest terms.
He had the judicial mind and tenn
permanent. He was just, kind and con-
siderate always. He is dead; his mem
ory shall live with us always.
Judge Prince, presiding, then waiv-
ed whatever parliamentary rules
might prevent his speaking and paid
beautiful tribute to the departed
jurist. He spoke of how the whole
state is bowed in grief over the death
of this good man. l don't know an
other single man whose death would
have caused so universal grief. His pa
tience was inexhaustible. He was ever
ready to give of his valuable time to
aid the young lawyer in his difficulties.
He was an upright Judge, Christian
gentleman.
B. F. Pegues, Esq, introduced and
read the following resolutions on the
death of Hon. w. P. Pollock, that was
recently adopted by the Chesterfield
County Bar:
Whereas, the Supreme Judge of
the Universe has decreed that the
earthly labors of William P. Pollock,

"Wheras, the nation has lost
statesman of high ideals and broad
vision; and the State of South Caro-
lima has lost one of her brightest jew
els; and the bar of the State has lost
brilliant advocate and lawyer, ,learn-
ed in his chosen profession and hon
orable in his dealings and we, the
members of the Chesterfield County
Bar Association, have lost a dear
friend, whose kindliness, unfailing
courtesy and whose conservation to
the paths of honor and recitude shall
ever remain green in our memories
"Now, be it resolved by the Ches-

Mr.. Pegues said that his association
with Mr.. Pollock had been so close
that it was impossible for him to give
adequate expression to his feelings.
He said that Mr.. Pollock was Just one
of Gods men. He always impressed
him as big throbbing heart, always
