Barents who havb this responsibility
are carrying a foig load.
It is no uncommon thing, too, to J
hear parents lament this responsibility
and try to pass the buck to some
other Authority, notably, school
teachers or Sunday school teachers J
freely admitting that the jtflTis more
than they can well handle and almost
giving up in despair at the thought
of ever raising their (boy. It is the
opinion of The Charlotte News that
especial concern should be had at this

most inclined to go wrortg. J
"A Brooklyn judge said the other

criminals, I can tell them. 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

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*
