A dozen yeaw of investigation and experience] ip these matters have demonstrated that the vast majority of alP* the youthful offenders committed crime because they had 'bad associates and were not under the proper influence In the years when boyhood was tun? ing into manhood?between the ages A#~12 and 18.

PUBMC OFFICERS DKB'IORH i? .. i Number of 8t*U Official* Have Notw 1* Defunct Bank (By Jas. D. Grfat in The Yorkville Enquirer.) Columbia, July 17^?This was a rather uncomfortable, a bard and hectU day for a number of South Carolinian*, some of whom bold high pub* lie places as a result of the hearing before Circuit Judge Townsend relative to winding up the affairs of the defunct American Bank A Trust Co. As a result of the proceedings today it was agreed by all parties concerned to accept the appointment of A. receiver, and Former Judge James E. Puerifoy, of Walterboro, has been appointed. The Richland county court room was crowded all day long with depositors of the defunct bank both men and women; and they listened with apparent intense interest to all the testimony that was brought out. When assistant bank examiners who have been going deep into the bank's affairs since the crash came three weeks ago today, told of notes for lsrge sums held by the bank against men in high public office, soma Of the members of that audience seemed to have a-bard time controlling themselves. It appeared as though some of the women eepecUMy, wanted to scream. |t also developed at the hearing today that Chief, State Dank Examiner W. W. Bradley is a heavy debtor to the defunct bank, bin notes come of them secured and some.unsecured totaling $28,444.87. It may be that some more of Mr. Bradley'# notes will yet b? found. Good customers of the bank so far as borowing is concerned, it develops ed included a number of the sUte officers. Several of . them seemed to have quite a "good line of credit", a phrase, by the way, which was used a lot today. ? Testimony was that the late Samuel -Tv Carter, for many years Btate treasurer and member of the state finance committee at his death, had an open note with the bank for $1,000 and in addition owed $2,878 secured -by certain Florida lots whose value now is questionable. Comptroller General A. J.Beattifi, Also a member of the state finance committee, which committee has the power to designate those banks in which state funds are deposited owes the bank $5,825, the security being some of that Florida real estate also, b Ben Sawyer, secretary of the slate highway commission, owes $2,800; Chief Game Warden Alfred Richardson, $9,000, endorsed by Mrs. Richardson; United States Senator E. D.' Smith$l,750, endorsed by former district attorney, Frank H. Weston, a director in the bank and said to be one of Senator 'Smith's managers in the present campaign. 'Other public officers owing large sums to the bank include W. A. Coleman, former mayor of Columbia, $507,16 listed in "cash items," and W. M. Mobley, treasurer of Richland ^county, $6,037.60. Governor MoLeodand State Treasurer Julian Scarborough, it was brought out, did not owe the (bank a penny. It was stated also that with few exceptions all of the bank's directors tore heavy Borrower*. Among the few directors beside whose n^mes the bank examiners ba(* made a notation "owes nothing", was George J. Ilolliday of Gallivant's Ferry. Holiday bad $2,500 stock in the bank. 1P5}* It is stated this afternoon that* Mr. Ilolliday, who was among the stockholders and depositors in s Columbia for the hearing today, remarked to a friend that "I have kised my $2,600 goodbye and have ready $2,500 more to pay out which amount under the law I am responsible for." Not all thq stockholders were . as cheerful about It : as Mr. Holliday, however. Seldom has Columbia been stirred as it now is stirred over this bank mess. Assistant State Bank Examiners W. R. Watkins and L. M. Milling, who were assigned to the task of investigating the bank'# affairs following the close and who have for the past two weeks or njore been woking day and night werer on the stand most of the day. They have not yet completed the task; but their testimony was that from what they have discovered so far they are confident that that the depositors will lose a great deal more than' cent, of their money^ As a matter of fact, if they realize 50 per cent on the dollar they will be lucky. Of the total loans and discounts outstanding $1,789,974.14, only about $500,000 are in the hank. Examiner Milling testified that In his opinion President \ Mauldin and Cashier Matthews were largely responsible for the collapse of the bank through loans to themselves for use in financing automobile concerns and other enterprises in which they arc interested and which have proven failures. Cashier Matthews Uvsdfcjjgj house here in Columbia which cost i( lot on which' it stands. ' fn their testimony the assistant hank examiners favored their chief, Mr. Bradley, as much as they could; but were able to do mighty little effective work in that direction. Examiner Watkins said that Mr. Bradley's debts ^o the bank were amply secured and that another bank had offered to take over the (Bradley "line of credit" at 100 cents en the dollar. Both examiners testified that Mr. Bradley had allowed them free rein in the "-examination of the bank, instructing them only to go to. the bottom of its affairs. Several low hisses emanated from people in the audience when that statement was made and there Were scones of cynical smiles to be noticed. The examiners made this report relative to Afr. Bradley'8 indebtedness. W. W. Bradley, state bank examiner, $23,444.37, including $500, secur ed by salary ^and expense warrants for June, paid since bank closed; $2,000, indoraedJ."Tr Bradley and Mrs. Mabel Bradley, $6*500, indorsed J. T. Bradley; $1,064, indorsed Mrs. Mabel Bradley; $6,586.82, secured by mortgage 141 acres in Abbeville county; $108.44; indorsed *J. T. Bradley and Mrs. Mabel Bradley; $650 and $65.40 secured by co-operative mar* ketirig certificates for 15 bales of cotton on which there is a prior lien for farm suppliesr $500, Secured by salary and expense warrants for July; $159, secured (by salary and expense | warrants for March; $3,500 bond and real estate mortgage, and items in cash $1,840,15 Additional security is provided by a blanket mortgage securing loans up to $20,000. These were the high spots in.th* hearing before Judge Townsend here today . Some amazement was expressed when the testimony develop**. that although the American Bank and Trust Co. was a comparatively , new institution, it had not ibeen examined In almost a .year, the laet inspection having been made in July, 1925, despite the fact that the institution wa* doing business almost within a stone'* throw of the bank examlnSfs of fleet The first airplane restaurant serve* meals in the air between Paris and rS London. ?
