* Carnegie's Millions,
\
Andrew Carnegie will leave the
smallest fortune of any modern American
Croesus?probably $1,000,000,000
less than John D. 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

Mistaken About the South.
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

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."

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. For
prevention and cure, stimulation of
