The entire nation has been shocked
by the wanton killing of Don R. Mel-
lett, youthful crusading editor of The
Canton . (0.) Daily News. Officials
and citizens agree that the murder
wag's thrust at the very vitals of law
order.
Like s captain leading bis forces in
battle, Mr. Mellett has fallen a mar
tyr to a system which in too many
places in this country is getting a
strangle hold upon government. Vice
runs rampant in hundreds of cities,
and towns in America. Nearly* every
day we read that public officials,
charged with the enforcement of all
.laws, have been arrested and exposed’
for grafting or laxity of office.
Corruption in public office should
not be tolerated. Don Mellett, a born
fighter, stood alone for week* in his
battle to rid the city of Canton of
thieving office-holders, rum-runners,
drug peddlers, gamblers and gunmen.
A brave and courageous yditor, shot
down, the victim of cowards who were
afraid to fight him fairly.
Now—too late to save Don Mellett’s
life—Canton rises in indignation. Can
ton realizes more forcibly now wh-it
Mellett was fighting for and why he
was fighting.
The Mellott murder is strong proof
that good citizens, in all cities, should
rally to the active support of news
paper editors jpnd officials who have
the courage to xdefy the powers of
wvil. Crusading editors usually have
tha mere approval of the better ele-
of their communities, but not
active, virile, efficient encour-
and assistance. Indiffer-
on the part of the citizenry only
to help the vice, rings.

A Dangerous Policy.
4.-V
m
The South Carolina Bottlers' Asso
ciation, with headquarters in Colum
bia, is entirely within its rights in
working for candidates favorable to
the interest of its members and in op
posing those who art not, but in doing
an they are treading on very dangeroys
ground and following a policy that
may prove a costly boomerang. As
The State, of Columbia, points out,
“But forty years ago, when South
Carolinians conceived the railroad cor
porations were controlling legislation
fat this State, rewarding friends and
punishing opponents, the people be
come aroused to indignation, with the
reOult that the pendulum was made to
■wipf from one extreme to the other
—from intense legislation pro-corp-
oratisti to intense anti-corporation,
and it was long years before bitter an
tagonism subsided, with o
law-enacting equilibrium.’’ '
Nor were such activities Confined to
aTX
Something Rotten in Denmark. ,
Over in Georgia, 85 small banks
closed their doors within the short
period of#ten days. The charge has
been made that the alleged dealing at
bucketshops by officials of the Bank
ers Trust Co., of Atlanta, fiscal agent
for the smaller banks, was responsi
ble f(A the numerous failures that
have brought hardships to hundreds
cf families whose hard-earned savings
have been swept away. ■
In this State a larty* bank in Col
umbia failed a short time ago and
carried down with it branches located
at two widely separated towns. The
charge has been made in this instance
that the bank was “deliberately
wrecked." CrimiAl proceedings will
in all probability be pressed to the
limit against some of the officials of
the head bank.
It also appears that the State bank
examine^, W. W. Bradley, was a
heavy borrower from the defunct in
stitution. in spite of the fact that his
salary is $4,500 a year and expenses.
Several banks in the lower part
of the State also closed their doors
in the past two weeks, but so far as
we know no charges of mismanage
ment have been lodged against the
officers.
All of which leads us to the query*,
“Why is a bank examiner, anyway?"
Our observationr has been in the past
that he has acted more in the capacity
of an undertaker than otherwise—tak
ing charge of the corpse and attempt
ing to give it decent burial.
Daily newspapers throughout the
State are demanding that Governor
McLeod remove Mr. Bradley from
office end appoint a strong man who »*
under no obligations to the banks of
the State through loans or otherwise.
The situation needs drastic action
and far from shrking the confidence
of the people in the banks, as many
profess to fear, it would strengthen
their faith. There have been entirely
too many bank failures in South Caro
lina in the past few years and it is
possible that they have been taken
too philosophically by the people for
their own good.
A long time sentence to the'rock
pile would no doubt have a salutary
effect.
And another thing: Avfeid tlie
hanks where doubtful borrowers say
it is easy to> get loans. Do business
with those whose officials have the
f«putation of being “hard/boiled.—
"tight" or whatever name some choose
to apply to those whose sound, com
mon business sense leads them to re
gard the money placed in their care as
a saertd trust and to safeguard it in
every way possible. Legitimate busi
ness will not suffer thereby. True,
many could not get the “wherewithal”
upon which to splurge and buy lux
uries beyond their means and when
the bank from which they borrowed
fails, manage by hook or £rook to
evade payment of their obligations.
The time has come for a return to
the old high standard of honesty and
integrity, when a man’s word was as
good as a bond and any attempt to
return to' gain wealth by questionable practices
invited social and business ostracism.

Superpower for South Carolina
<3 Power for - Home and Store, Farm, Factory and Public Buildings t>
A long stride toward progress has been made by a combination of producers for the distribution
of electric energy. ...
The joining of resources and facilities of the Edfsto Public Service Company, (Denmark, 3. C )
the Carolina Light and Power Company, (Aiken, S. C.) .and the Augusta-Aikea Railway and Elec*
trie Corporation of Augusta, bring M guarantee to the residents of • this community that unlimitedr
power, at very favorable rates, will be available to do all sorts of useful work for the farmer, the
housewife the storekeeper and the manufacturer.
< " »•
The output of these three corporations is drawn from the streams of our own neighbohood—
Augusta alone producing 24,000 horsepower from the Savannah River. Added to this great volume
are all the steam plants that the central towns, which in the past, have been the sole source of
electric supply. By this modern arrangement, these steam equipments will be held ih reserve, to be
used as auxiliaries^ to be operated only at very infrequent intervals, when repairs may be needed to
the water wheels, or other branches of the service.
To anticipate future needs, and provide for the boundless commercial and agricultural activi
ty already awakened in this section, the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Electric Corporation has re
cently completed a physical connection at Toccoa, Georgia, with the limitless supply of hydro power
generated in the five States of Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and distri
buted through' the switch beards of the. Georgia Railway and Power Company, at Atlanta.
These are the visible—the tangible evidence of the
of these corporations in the business possibilities of the di
le faith shown by the. managemei
which they have spent, aijiPsre
spending, hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide the most important agent—the most needed
essential, for the development and prosperity of a favorable section, that needs but th£ work and
faith olJta citizens to achieve the very limits of industrial success, commercial 'Supremacy aad
