COMMANDER NEWER
IS STRONG LEADER

Independence Day was not the only
thing American Legionnaires Of South
Carolina celebrated on the Fourth of
July, 1924; the second cause of
jubilee was the election on that date
of e. Rick McIver, of Florence, as
1925 commander of the South Carolina
department of the Legion
There's nothing spectacular or
theatrical about Rick McIver," de-
clared rural friend, "but it's a mighty
comfortable feeling to have him at
the head of affairs; you can always
bank on the cart getting there that
Rick McIver is pulling, because he
never rears nor kicks over the traces"
That astute observance OF Com
mander McIver is about as true as
anything can be. He is a man who
has gone quietly and calmly about his
duties, leaving bombast and blah to
others while he worked. Which doesn't
imply that he has led a clustered
and protected life by any means. He's
"a fighter and virile, two-fisted leader

business of maintaining law and order
as the chief of police of Florence,
which Office he has held since 1921.
Something of the energy of Rick Nc
liver Is revealed by the records Of
Clemson agricultural and mechanical
college from which institution he
graduated in 1915. In addition to
scholastic honors, the athletic records
show that as captain of the track
team, he won in one meet the high
jump, broad jump, 10OAyard dash, the
40 and 220-yard hurdles. This is
mentioned as an indication of what
might be expected Of such a man in
the big track meet of 1917-1919 as a
member Of the A. F. team.
At the beginning of the Mexican
border fireworks Rick" went to the
border as first sergeant of company e.
Second South Carolina infantry. On
November 20, 1915, he was commits
stoned a first lieutenant and assigned
to the same unit. When called to the
service in the World war he was made
a captain. Captain McIver sailed for
France in May, 1913, and served with
the One Hundred and Fifth ammuni-
ton train until his discharge in 1919
Aside from soldering and policing,
Commander McIver is a farmer.

Requests Purchase of
Historic BiLIop House

a proposal that the city of New York
purchase historic "Old Billop House."
at Tottenville, N. Y, which housed the
first peace conference after the War Of
the Revolution, was included in a petit
ton sent to Mayor Hylan recently by
the American Legion post of Staten
island. The house was erected in 1868.
Benjamin Franklin and John Adams
met Lord Howe, representing the Brit
lsh, there 70 decide peace terms. The
Legion would convert the ten acres
surrounding Billop house into a public
park.
Interesting opposition to the acquisi-
ton of the property has been raised
on the grounds that Christopher Billop,
original owner, was a Tery actively
and brutally engaged in the War of the
Revolution.

GHOST SEEMED TO
HAVE LAST LAUGH
Dissertation of Grave Made
Loafer "Reforn1."

The story was told by the Rhode Is
lander to show that ghosts, like the
father of unhappy Hamlet, sometimes
stalk the earth to right a wrong. In
this case the ghost was Big Bear,
chieftain of the Narragansetts, who,
until he was disturbed by q bump
tous relic hunter, had slept peacefully
since the days of Roger Williams amid
the wooded heights of a quiet New
England village, and the wicked Claud-
ius was Pardon Pillbeck, the village
ne'er-do-well, according to the New
York Times
Our village" said Rhode Islander,
must have been a stamping ground
for the aborfgines. You could pick up
stone arrowheadS everywhere, but we
did not think they possessed any in
trinsic value until an archeologist
collected several bushel and sold them
at handsome profit. We set out to
emulate him. Unfortunately, he had
gone over the ground thoroughly and
the only place left was the Indian
burying ground. But none of us
thought of disturbing those ancient re-
mains.
Pardon Pillbeck had lived for 40
years on the bounty of relatives. He
looked upon work as drudgery, but en-
listed in the search for the Indian rel
les with bOyish enthusiasm. One night
while we were discussing the possibili-
ties of finding arrowheads, the door
was darkened by his unaccustomed
presence. We did not have to be told
that he had met with a stroke of good
fortune. He was chuckling gleefully
to himself. Surveying US triumphant
~, he fished from his pockets ar
rOwhead after arrowhead. They were
beautiful beyond description. Last he
brought to light a handsomely carved
tOmahawk.
He had opened the Indian graves
and then clumSily rifled them. Natu-
rally, feeling against Pardon ran high.
l think he might have been lynched
If he had been found. But he had
disappeared completely. Weeks passed
without so much as an inkling of him,
and the story grew and persisted that
the ghost of Big Bear had risen up,
pursued and slain him. Years passed
and still no tiding of the luckless
fellow.
"Some fifteen years later business
took me to a small town in western
Pennsylvania. After supper 1 strolled
down the main street. In the center
OF the square big man with flowing
gray hair was extolling from an ele-
waited platform the medicinal qualities
of remedy for all ills. Beside him
stood bulky Indian in the full regalia
Of his tribe AS l drew nearer l
recognized beneath the war paint of
the doctors companion the sodden fea-
lures of Pardon Pillbeck.
Later he told me the story. He had
indeed desecrated the grave of Big
Bear, the Nara gansett chieftain. Re-
turning to his home with his ill-gotten
spoils, he had encountered the ghost
of the chieftain. The ghost had forced
him to don the habiliments of his tribe
and become the slave of a fake Indian
medicine man"

CHARGES OF INDIANS
ARE DENIED BY BURKE
Commissioner Declares Rights of

Charges that the Bureau of Indian
Affairs is seeking to destroy the tribal
life of the Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico. made public by the American

tition addressed to President Cool

Charles n. Burke today a denial that
the Government interferes in any
way with the tribal customs or re-
ligious beliefs of the Indians of the
19 Pueblos. Two factions are at
work. Mr.. Burke said. one protesting
against the actions of the "caciques"
or tribal rulers of the Pueblos in
favor of the progressive element,
while the other believes the Indians
should adhere to their old beliefs.
The Government, according to the
indian commissioner, remains out Of
any Indian controversy which in
wolves tribal or religious customs.
The memorial, which the defense
association says has been sent to the
President, claims efforts are being
made to destroy the self-government
of the Pueblos; that fair play in the
being given, and that their constitu.
tonal rights are being taken away.
1t was framed by the Indians at a
meeting of all the pueblos at Santo
