Rockefeller,) $100,000,000 less than Frick, and less, too, than was left by Morgan, Hill, Harriman, the Harknesses, Russell Sage, Hetty Green or John Jacob Astor. Carnegie has given away $325,000,000 and has, I am told, less than $30,000,000 left?a statement I that will cause astonishment. uarnegie s original investment in | ^ steel making was $250,000. In twenty-seven years he sold out the Carnegie Steel company to Morgan's steel corporation for $300,000,000, bonds, nearly $100,000,000 in preferred stock and $90,000,000 common stock. Carnegie, canny Scot, took the bonds and left the stock for his forty partners, who owned about 40 per cent., and Carnegie aboutf 60 per cent, of the Carnegie company. In his "Gospel of Wealth" he formulated this cardinal article of his faith: "The day is not far distant when the man who dies leaving behind him f millions of available wealth, which were free for him to administer dur* ' ing life, will pass away 'unwept, unhonored and unsung,' no .matter to what use he leaves the dross, which he cannot take with him. Of such as these the public verdict will then be: 'The man who dies thus rich J.*? J : j y yy (lies uisgiaceu. Elsewhere he has recorded: "I would as soon leave to my son a curse as the almighty dollar." Carnegie has no son, only one daughter, born in 1897. She will not ^ * be one of the world's richest heiresses. Carnegie, relatively speaking, will die poor. He is now SI and-feeble. An adequate character-sketch of Carnegie is here impossible. Modern history contains only one character comparable to Carnegie?John b. Rockefeller. Carnegie created "a new era," the era of stupendous philanthropy?no, not exactly a new era, for he had his prototype in the I I MEN-WC 1 c CLUB 2cC: 1st Week lc 1st Week 2nd Week .. 2c 2nd Wee] 3rd Week .. .. 3c 3rd Weel Increase Every Week Increase Ev by 1 cent by 2 c Total in 50 Weeks Total in 5 $12.75 $25 YOU CAN BEGIN 1 How to Jo IT IS VERY EAS All you need to d 50c or $1.00 or more make you a member o Club you have joined.

Before the eminent oculist, Dr. Austin O'Malley of Philadelphia, makes another such statement as that attributed to him in an address j a few evenings ago in New York,! that the United States south of j North Carolina "is not fit for the white race to thrive in," and that "as a matter of fact no white race has ever thriven there," he should fix his vision a little more carefully on that section of our country. Going back half a century we should say that the white race in the South gave a pretty good account of itself. As Dr. O'Malley believes that the South is not a fit place for the white \ race to thrive in, he should take an | extended trip through that part of \ the United States with his eyes open and study the progress that has been made there within the past decade or two, and that is still being made. In some states, particularly in South Carolina, he will see talk chimneys, great factories and thriving populations where a few short years ago there was hardly a human habitation. And these beehives of industry are not only filled with people of the white race, but they are Americans whose forebears came to this country long before we proclaimed our independence/ and, in some cases, fought the British at King's mountain and at Cowpens, and ate sweet potatoes with General Marion, the Swamp Fox. He may go down into Georgia and | Alabama and find cities that have sprung up almost over night. Such a one is Anniston, Ala., a town of nearly ir>,000 inhabitants, where hardly more than a dozen years ago there were only cornfields and a scattered cabin or two. He should stop off at such cities as Spartanburg and Greenville, in South Carolina, take a look around and examine the j progress they have made within the S-G1RLS-L ; NOTHING TO J< S BAN ime in and Join N< IT IS THE EASY WAY TO SAYE AND HAVE MONEY YOU CAN JOIN WITH lc - 2c - 5< [Oc - 50c -$1.0C Or Any Amount You Wish FERENT CLUBS I LOc CLUB 50c CLU] Week .... 10c 1st Week ....

Where formerly a few houses and rail fences clustered. around a county court house chiefly devoted to trying moonshiners, a few weeks every year, there are now factories turning out millions of dollars worth of cotton fabrics to clothe the people of South America, Central Africa and the Far East. An automobile trip southward from the North Carolina line would undoubtedly open Dr. O'Malley's eyes. He would see the hills, the soil of which was formerly washed away as fast as the land was cleared and the first crops were harvested, now terraced with scientific skill in order to retain the soil and raise successive crops year after year. In place of the log cabin of a few years ago he would see well constructed houses and broad fields of corn, cotton and cowpeas. And this improvement is due to the white race in the section of our country which he believes is not fit for it "to thrive in." ?Editorial by F. R. Dawlev, Jr., in Providence (R. I.) Journal. Complicated War Malady. So called "trench-foot," which has given so much trouble in the war trenches, proves to be a less simple malady than was at first supposed. It may be set up by frost bite, or by poor circulation due to inactivity, dampness, or ugru 1001 uuveuugs, but in advanced cases Raymond and Parisot find parasitic fungi playing a large part. With the development of ulcers or cracking cf the skin, the minute organism known as scopulariopsis koningii may enter the tissues. This fungus exists in trench mud, straw, and stable bedding, develops rapidly in the warm flesh, and may not only make necessary the amputation of one or more toes or the whole foot, but may lead to a general break down in health.
