$12,500,000 is the modest sum
J. Fierpont Morgan got for forming
the billion dollar steel trust
referred to in these columns recently.
It is said that it took him
about 40 days to get the trusl
plans arranged, which makes his
remuneration about $312,000 a
day?pretty good wages.
In the final hours of congress
the $250,000 appropriation to the
Charleston exposition was defeat
ed, although the same hours saw
the passage of a measure appro
priating $5,000,000 to the St.
Louis exposition and $500,000 to
the Buffalo exposition. Senator
Tillman fought manfully for the
Charleston appropriation, but the
opposition was too strong?prejudice
against our State too rancerous.
Yellow Journalism.
The Anderson Mail pays its
respects to yellow journalism
by exposing an instance of it.
The Philadelphia North America
sent a correspondent to get
up a lively sensational story
about the slavery alledged to
exist in Anderson county. The
paper publised such a story,
but it bore the earmarks of exaggeration
and untruth. The
Anderson Mail says :
"We do not think it makes any i
difference what the yellow journals
say about us anyway. They
will not tell the truth about us
anyhow or if they do it is in a
distorted fashion, mixed with
more falsehood than truth, as the
correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American has done. This
man was carried out to the Fowler
stockade by Fowler himself
and shown all around and ex
rxrAaaml !n monl t' mall nlanan/1 nri t li

what he saw and said to Mr
Fowler that the negroes in I'hil
adelphia were worse off thau his
convicts. He saw no armed
guard, he saw no Winchester
ritle, he saw no convicts plowing
nor did he see any bloodhounds,
lor there are none there. lie
simply took a kodak picture of
the stockade and yet when it ap
pears in his paper it represents
convicts plowing in the field with
an armed guard on an elevation
surrounded by bloodhounds. In
addition to that he told the editor
of this paper that there was not
enoagh in the situation to justify
a special story in his paperWe
suggested to him that the
w matter ought to be allowed to
rest now as it was in the hands
of the court and the grand jury
in response to the demand of
public sentiment here, and that
it would bo judicially determined
and settled, and that the
outside world had no concern
in it further than to know that
the machinery of the law had
been sot in motion and that the
evil would be corrected. With
all of which the correspondent
agreed, and yet ho evidently
had his story written up, for it
was sent from Columbia, and
he himself said he was going
from here direct to Philadelphia
where ho probably added the
finishing touches. What can
be done to head off such scamps?
They are like sleuth hounds,and
wherein the facts fail them they
draw on a fertile imagination.
He utterly ignored tho sworn
testimony in the case of Newell
and goes out to the stockade and
interviews the negroes and gets
a story to suit himself, and yet
those same negroes, or some of
ihem, told the coroner's jury
an entirely different story,which
shows the worthlessness of negro
testimony which he is so ready
to believe."
The Anderson Mail reveals
what feasible man would

suspect after reading the North
American's article. The correspondent
was sent to this state o
get up an article reflecting upon
it and he carried out the instruc
tions given him. On a slender
basis of fact he built a huj.e
structure ot fancy. lie magnified
the shame of Anderson counly
and sought to make the entire
state share that shame. Editor
Russell's statement shows that
The North American correspondent
wilfully and knowingly lied.

KcKIN LEY'S INAUGURAL AI)
DRESS.
Wm.McKiuley wad inaugurated
president Monday to succeed him
self. The following is a portion
of his address:
My Fellow Citizens: When we
assembled here on the Fourth of
March, 1897, there was great anxiety
in regard to our currency and
credit. None exists now. Then
our treasury receipts were inadequate
to m,eet the current obligations
of the government. Now
they are sufficient for all public
needs, and we have a surplus instead
of a deficit. Then 1 felt
constrained to convene the congress
in extraordinary session to
devise revenues to pay the ordinary
expenses of the government.
Now I have the satisfaction to
announce that the congress just
closed has reduced taxation in the
sum of forty one millions of dollars.
Then there was deep solicitude
because of the long depres
sion in our manufacturing, min
ing, agricultural and mercantile
industries, and the consequent
distress of our laboringpopulation
Now every avenue of production
is crowded with activity, labor is
well employed and American pro
ducts find 3ood markets at home
and abroad. Our diversified productions.
however, are increasing
in such unprecedented volume as
to admonish us of the necessity
of stiii further enlarging our foreign
markets by broader commercial
relations. For this pur
pose reciprocal trade arrange
raents with other nations should
in liberal spirit be carefully cultivated
and promoted.
The national verdict of 1R0H
has for the most part been executed.
Whatever remains unful
filled is a continuing obligation
resting with undiminished force
upon the executive and the congress.
But fortunate as our condition
is, its permanence can only
bo assured by sound business
methods and strict economy in
if- i _ .1 A A: i i .
nuuonai numinisiration ami leg
islatiow. We should not permit
our great prosperity to lead us to
reckless ventures in business or
protligacv in public expenditures.
While the congress' determines
the objects and the sum of appropriations,
the officials of the ex
ecutive departments are respon
Bible for honest and faithful dis
bursement, and it should be their
constant care to avoid waste and
ex! ravagence.
Honesty,capacity and industry
are nowhere more indispensable
than in public employment. Those
should be fundamental requisites
to original appointment and the
surest guarantees against re.
moval.
Four years ago we stood on
the brink of war without the
people knowing it, and without
any preparation for the impend
ing peril. I did all that in honor
could be done to avert the war,
hut without avail. It became in
evitable, and the congress at its
first regular session, without
party division, provided money
ir? anticipation of the crisis and
in preparation to meet it. It
came. The result was Hignallv

in the highest degree honorable
to the government. It imposed
upon us obligations from which
we cannot escape and from
which it would be dishonorable
to seek to escape. We are now
at pe*ce with the world, and it is
my fervent prayer that if differ
ences arise between us and other
powers they may be settled bv
peaceful arbitration and that
hereafter we may be spared the
horrors of war.

My fellow citizens, the public
events of the past four yoart
have gone into history. They are
too near to justify recital. Some
of them were unfoieseen; many
of them momentous and tar
reaching in their consequences tc
ourselves and our relations with
the rest of the world. The pari
which the United States bore sc
honorably in the thrilling scenee
m Unina, while new to American
life, has been in harmony will:
true spirit and with best tradi
tions, and in dealing with the re
suits its policy will be that o!
moderation and fairness.
We face at this moment a mosl
important question?that of tht
future relations of the United
States and Cuba. With our near
est neighbors we must remaii
close friends. The declaration ol
the purposes of this governnieni
in the resolution of April'2, 1898
must be made good. Ever since
the evacuation of the island bj
the army of Spain, the executive
with all practicable speed hat
been assisting the people in the
successive steps necessary to the
establishment of a free auu independent
government prepared t<
assume and perform the obligations
of international law whic'i
now rests upon the United State
under the treaty of I'arts. The
convention elected by the people
to frame a constitution is approaching
completion. The
transfer of American control tc
the new government is of such
great importance, involving an
obligation resulting from our in
tervention and the treaty of
peace, that I am glad to be advised
by the repent act congrese
of the policy which the legislative
branch of the government deeno
essential to the best interests ol
Cuba and the United States.
