COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
BY SPECTATOR
How cheap is electricity ? Recently I heard over a Columbia
radio station this statement which impressed me very much:
“The South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. has told you for
years that electricity is the biggest bargain in the family
budget.
Let’s review the records to prove the point. In 1882, when
the electrical industry was new, the average domestic rate
per kilowatt hour of power was 25 cents, and the cost of
living index stood at 86. By 1920 that index had zoomed
to 203.5 but the cost of power had gone down by more than
two-thirds — to 7.45 cents. By 1950 the cost of living index
was at 243, but electric power continued downward—to 2.88
cents. Today its less than that: in this residential area it
averages 2.36 cents per killowatt hour, while the cost of liv
ing is at an all-time high—around 270!
Well, well, here is something in great demand, in daily
incerasing demand, and th eprice is being reduced!!!
Let’s rejoice in our good fortune.
I’ve referred several times to Joanna, both the excellence
of the management of that great textile enterprise as well as
the attractive little city which is built around and about
the big mill.
The Joanna Way, the very handsomely gotten up monthly
magazine is one of my reading pleasures; but the weekly
Joanna News is an informative bulletin of a dozen pages,
or so, brimful of news, notices, and interesting items of the
community. In one issue I read notices of The Church of
God; Emmanuel Holiness Church; Pentecostal Holiness
Church; St. Boniface Catholic Church; Presbyterian Church;
Epworth Methodist Church; Baptist Church.
What say you? Isn’t that community well served, reli
giously ?
What always impresses me especially is the close, friendly,
even comradely relationship between executive management
and the other workers, for all are workers; all seem happy;
and the finest spirit of cooperation prevades the whole
community.
B. M. Edwards the Banker is always in demand as a speak
er; and he responds gladly, whenever he can. He is even in
more demand as a worker; and he never fails.
I like to hear Mr. Edwards, whether in a public address,
or in the quiet and privacy of his office; he has had a great
experience and can always illustrate his remarks with some-

thing very graphic, whether it be profoundly serious or very
humorous.
I was with him recently at a luncheon of the Columbia
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
I quote him, in part:
“There is one thing I would like to mention to you and
which is of considerable concern to me, and that is, that
the younger men are not coming forward in the top mana
gement of business as I think they should. There is a dearth
of executive talent in this country today, and it is caused
by the fact that the younger men have not developed as they
should. There are some reasons for it. A prominent busi
nessman, one of the principal executives of a large national
concern, in making mention of this situation recently said
that during the depression years, 1929 through about 1938,
there were very few men who were brought out and trained
to be top-notch business executives. The reason was that
we were in an era of depression and actually they were not
needed — there wasn’t much for them to do. Therefore,
we may as well consider that for a period of eight or ten
years education and training were not necessary, and there
was no new crop of executives developed. Then, beginning
about 1941 we got into World War II and, unfortunately,
most of our good, stalwart, intelligent sons were called into
the military service of one kind or another. That left a
condition that the older executives, with what little help
they could get from those who were mostly physically dis
qualified, had to stay on the job and do the production and
carry on the business for a period of another five or six years.
The result was that no new top-notch executives were deve
loped during that period.
Actually, the situation is that in 1928 the trained execu
tives under 40 years of age in the nation comprized 15.3 per
cent of all business executives. The last available figures
were in 1952, at which time the trained business executives
in America under 40 years of age made up only 6 per cent
of the total. I regard this as being a very serious situation,
and I am bringing it to the attention of you younger men
witl\ the earnest admonition that you devote your full time

and every possible energy to come forth and correct this
situation. These older top executives are going to be com
pelled to retire, and certainly they are going to die off as
the years go along — and you younger men must accept the
responsibility and prepare yourselves to take over and carry
on. Otherwise, the City of Columbia will not continue to
prosper as it has done in the past, and neither will the nation
as a whole.”
