RT CASTOR, c. L Prince,
President. Secretary
Mr.. CASTOR then paid tribute to
the memory of Judge McIver. He
spoke feelingly of his early association
with Mr.. McIver in law practice; of
his sincerely as friend; of his purity
OF character, OF mis- nobleness, gencro-
sity and fairness. In law practice, he
said, Mr.. McIver always realized that
there were rights on the other side.
And he never failed to recognize the
rights Of other people.
Judge M. ]. Hough was the second
speaker on the program. He spoke
with feeling of the old Chesterfield
County Bar and of the high stand
ing of Mr.. McIver even in those early
days His gentleness, his modesty, his
consideration of others were the out
standing qualities that had SO greatly
impressed the speaker during
their long association at this bar. The
fact that Judge McIver as an attorney
was able to prevent heavy verdicts
against his clients, the Seaboard and
Atlantic Coast Line Railroads, was
due, he thought, to the standing of
the man. The people, the courts and
the juries had confidence in the man
and this very confidence won for him
decisions. He represented the finest
teaching of South Carolina, a gentle
man of the old school, he was always
courteous, modest and just. An up
right judge has been called.
