This announcement was made by the
officers of ]. p. Morgan and Co. to-
day. Morgan's office was closed.
on the front door being pasted this
notice: 81. p. Morgan died at Rome,
Italy, at 1906 p. M
Henry p. Dawson, member of the
house of Morgan. made the announce
ment. He said he had merely receiv-
ed a cable that the f1nancier died
shortly after noon. Coincident with
Mr.. Morgan's death it became known
the financier suffered an attack be-
fore his departure for Europe. but
rallied SO rapidly 1t was not con-
sidered fatal illness.
On his trip, however, he severed all
connection with his business affairs
and permitted his partners to shoulder
all responsibility for its conduct.
The stock market bore up well
under the news of Mr.. Morgan's death.
The opening prices showed declines
which in no case practically exceeded
the point. Supporting orders rallied
the market quickly.
please don't speak to me now"
said j.. p. Morgan, jr., to the small
army of newspaper men he greeted
when he left his home for that Of his
mother few doors away. He said
the, news concerning his father would
be given out at the company's Office.
Mr. Morgan started his business
career a half century ago on the board
of directors of large maritime insur-
ance company obtaining the position
through the influence of his wealthy
father. Mr.. Morgan had little to say
during his year on the board, and the
president of the insurance company
told the father his son seemed to take
little interest in business.
Young Morgan, however, was then
laying the plans for the first railroad
consolidation which, when ac-
complished, established his standing
in Wall street as the only man who
ever bested Jay Gould. 1t also secur-
ed for him the title of the sphinx of
Wall street"
money was the keynote of his life. At
the height of his power he is said to
have controlled $9,000.000,000. In ad-
dition to finance, art, literature and
philanthropy, sport came under his in
fluence. Kings, ernperors, and even
the pope. were won't to call him into
consultation.
Mr.. Morgan came from old Puritan
stock dating back in this country to
1886. He was born April IL, 1887, at
Hartford, Conn.
Few men were more widely fear
ed. yet more generally trusted than
Mr.. Morgan. He was known as man
who believed absolutely in himself
and apparently never questioned the
correctness of his methods. He cared
little for society, was fond Of a good
dinner in congenial company, and was
almost slave to cigars.

At a recent meeting of the
board of supervisors of Claiborne
county a proposition to tax dogs
was defeated, only one member
voting for it. Another member
said such a tax would offend. the
negroes to such an extent that
they would leave the county. The
question of taxing dogs in Mis-
sissippi seems to be a delicate
one, says the Canton Herald.
Men who uncomplainingly pay
all other taxes kick against pay
ing a tax on dogs, and many men
claiming to be too poor to hire a
cook pay more monthly for dog
feed to be cooked by their wives
than the salary of a cook would
amount to. Verify, the way of
a man with a dog is a doggoned
hard proposition to comprehend.

dragged into the gullies with
scraper until he filled the gullies.
Some of these gullies were fif-
teen feet deep others not as
deep. After they were filled he
plowed the land we'll, about six
inches deep in the shallowest
places. Then used a harrow to
pulverize the soil and clay. By
the use of 200 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre and good cul-
tivation he has a field of fine
corn that has been estimated at
40 bushels per acre. Good enough
for much better land. By the
use of more brains, more mule
power, more fertilizers judicious-
ly used, and better seed selec-
