Report from a southern tour of President McKinley mentions Andrew Carnegie among attendees at a Thomasville church. A fervent minister preaches to white visitors about church poverty. Carnegie places a fifty dollar bill in the collection, while deacons judge the total and the donor's identity with a wry, pointed remark about white wealth.
