Mr.. Carnegie Taking a Rest.


1t is announced in the newspa-
pers that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has
come to our state for a few weeks
rest. If all the sthries which are
appearing in the public prints
about the monster lawsuit that his
late manager, Mr.. Frick, and others,
are about to begin against him are
true, he will need all the strength
he can accumulate in many weeks
in the balmy climate of Florida to
fight it.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Frick wants
something like s2l, 100000 for his
interest in the Carnegie Steel works.
If the courts should award him
that much, and all of the other
partners, who, it is understood, in
tend to join him in the suit, should
be as fortunate, there would not be
very much left for Mr.. Carnegie
after settling with them. 1t is the
understanding that Mr.. Carnegie
owns a little more than one-hal If of
the capital stock of the plant. The
balance of the stock is owned by
Mr.. Frick, Mr.. Phipps and about
dozen others, Mr.. Phipps' interest
being even larger than that of Mr..
Frick.
There Is an agreement III writing
that when n partner withdTaws he
shall accept for his stock its book
value. 1t is stated that the book
value of Mr.. Tricks stock is S9,000,-
900. Mr.. Carnegie, if reports are
to be credited, offered him that
sum, but he declined to receive it
on the ground that his interest
was worth a great deal more. 1t
seems that when he wanted to buy
Mr.. Carnegie's interest some time
ago he paid 81, 100000 for an OPP
ton. After the option expired, he
having failed to carry his plans to
success, Mr.. Carnegie is quoted as
having said that he would not take
less than S350OOO,0OO for the prop
erty. 1t is on this basis that Mr..
Frick is now asking for S2l ,00O,0 900
1t would seem as if the agree.
ment to accept the book value of
his stock would be a bar to his re-
the amount he claims. 1t
is pointed out, however, that the
may be declared void,
because one of the partners, Mr.
Phipps, has not signed it.
The Savannah News is quite cor
rect in stating that Mr.. Carnegie's
riches give him trouble as well as
JOY, but it is doubtful if any one
rejoices on that account. He has
been, and is, very liberal with his
wealth. lie has given away large
sums, and is still making princely
donations to schools and libraries.
There is no danger, of course, that
he will beggar himself. Still. the
fact that he has already distributed
of dollars for the benefit
of the deserving makes that part of
the world that knows him feel very
kindly toward him.

Causes of DegeneraCy.

Under the heading of THE Dan
gers of Degeneracy" the Jackson
vile News prints the following re-
marks in regard to a most import
ant subject that deeply concerns
the American people:
The truth comes To us with tell
ing force that youthful criminality
seems to be increasing with the age
of advancement along the many
lines. This is deplorable, for it goes
to prove that the rising generation
lacks that dircctness of moral pur-
pose which has heretofore made our
United States lead the list of God
fearing countries.
The associated press brings us,
during the past few weeks, accounts
of five boys, and they were but lads,
who have committed crimes equal
To those of which more maturcd
brains were guilty of executing.
What has brought about thi,
state of affairs?
A boy of sixteen years kills his
mother. A lad yet in his teens
murders, in cold blood, a compan-
ion. y score of youths look upon
petty thieving as an accomplish
ment to be acquired.
In almost every instance these
youthful criminals have stood be-
fore the bar of justice with set
smiles upon their faces when the
sentences were passed. They smiled
even at the door of death.

The indications are that the Ger
man and British governments
thoroughly understand each other,
50 far as the South African situa-
ton Is concerned. The explana-
ton of Germany's complaisance is
simple enough. Germany has con-
siderable possessions of her own in
South Africa and the German gov
eminent is far-seeing enough to
perceive that if the Beers are sue
cessful in turning the British out
of South Africa, they will soon be
taking measures to expel Germany
in her turn. The watchword AZ
RIGA for Africans" applies to Ger
many equally with Great Britain.

But all this has been changed. Now
adays it is the hardest thing in the

Why So Many Young Men Fail.

lone trouble with many young men
who start out in business is they try to
do too many things AT once" says Het-
" Green. The result is that they
don't know as much as they ought 10
about any one thing, aud they natural
ly fail. The trouble With young men
who work OF salaries is that they're
always afraid Of doing more than
they're paid for. they don't enter into
their work with the right spirit. To
get ON and Ne appreciated a Young mar
must do more than he's paid to do.
When he does something that his Ell.
ployer has not thought of. he shows
that he is valuable. Men are always
willing to pay good salaries To people
who will think OF things for them.

Bad Fire in New York.

A terrible conflagraton occurred in
New York harbor, Saturday. The four
great piers of the North German Lloyd
Line 10 Hoboken were totally burned,
Saturday afternoon, together with the
large passenger steamship Saale and
the large freight and passenger steam
ships Main and Bremen of that line and
the Hamburg American Line passenger
steamship Phoenicia.
In loss of property and loss of life
this awful calamity in Hoboken last
Saturday will rank among the heaviest
in recent years. Three great ocean
steamships, the immense wharves Of
three steamship companies, vast
storage warehouse, twelve canal boats
and six barges-property representing
SlO,OO00O0 to $4,000, 0O0-were com
pletely destroyed, while the number
killed may exceed 200 and the Injured
still higher figures. 1t was an awful
calamity, awful in its suddenness, in
its fierce sweep of flame and in the
terrible agony of the scores of victims
who were caught and could not escape
from the devOuriug element.
