Americas Financial Wiz
ard Dies in Rome,
Aged rs Years.
Was Worth Hundreds of Millions
of Dollars.

j. Pierpont Morgan, one of the
wealthiest men in the world, died
in Rome early Monday morning,
aged 76 years. He was one of the
money kings of this country and
could control capital better than
any other man in America. He
was known as the Steel King and
controlled the stock of the United
States Steel Corporation together
with the stock of a number of the
largest railroads and insurance
companies. His wealth is estimat-
ed anywhere from seventy-fve to
two hundred million dollars. At
the heighth of his power he was
said to have controlled nine billion
dollars. There were other Ameri-
cans worth more money than Mr..
Morgan but he seemed to be able
to control more capital than any
of them.
He was member of the Epis-
copal church and was regularly in
attendance when at home in New
York City. He gave away many
millions of dollars to charity and
had often remarked: Il do not
love money, but l do love the ex-
element of making it,"

SUFFERING
ENDED
Mr.. James S. BOgie, ST.,
Dies After lOnQ
Illness.
Leading Citizen and Member OF
Very Prominent Family.

Mr.. James S. Bogie, ST., 55
years of age, died at his home
in this city Sunday morn
ing at $50 o'clock of Bright's
disease. He had been in poor
health for several years and had
made trips to Hot Springs and
other health resorts and had con-
suited several specialists but to no
avail. Mr.. Bogie was one of the
best known men in the county and
by his genial disposition, affable
manner and upright Christian life
had endeared himself to a host of
friends. He was one of the lead
ing members of the Christian
church and always gave literally
of his time and means toward the
advancement of COPS word among
the poor and suffering. He was
one of the largest land owners in
the county and was a most pro-
gressive and up-to-date farmer.
. While yet at the meridian of
life, as one would think, and just
as his hopes and lifelong plans
are being realized, death in all its
awfulness comes and takes him
from our midst. Alas, the silver
cord has been loosed, the golden
bowl has been broken and the
spirit has returned to GeD who
gave it.
Early in life Mr.. Bogie united
in. marriage with Miss Molly
Chenault, of this county. who,
with two daughters, Mrs. F. G.
Duerson, of this city, Mrs. Web
ster p Huntington, of Cleveland,
Ohio, Messrs. Anderson, James S.
Jr., Edward and Joe BOgie, of
this county, survive him.
Amid the deep shadows of grief
and sorrow that have gathered
about this home may there come
to them the comforting thought
that should they live as he lived
they will meet him in the Great
Beyond where sorrow and tears
are unknown.
Funeral services were conducted
Tuesday morning by Rev. H. ID.
Clark with interment in Machpelah
