ANDREW CARNEGIE
DIES SUDDENLY

Lenox, Mass, Aug. 11.-Andrew
Carnegie, ironmaster and philan-
thropist, died today in his great man.
sion overlooking a lake in the beau
tiful Berkshire hills. where he sought
seclusion when bodily infirmity over
took him and his mind was saddened
by the entrance of this country into
the world war.
Although he had been in feeble
health for more than two years, his
final illness was brief-a matter of
days. A severe cold developed into
bronchial pneumonia, the aged pa
.tieHt lapsed Observation-Disclosures and
the end came as though it were but
the beginning of a deeper sleep.
No ostentation will mark the fu-
neral of the man who, when he be-
gan eighteen years ago to give away
his millions, was reputed to- have the
second largest private fdatune in
America A simple service, attended
only by members of his family and
his HOUSEHOLD, was held at his home,

FARMERS PROTEST
! BIG ASSESSMENTS
Constitutionality Of Act Ore
ating State Board Is
Widely Rumored.

Farmers are up In arms against the
big assessments being made by the
state board in Shelby county; not be-
cause they are being assessed at full
valuation of their properties, but the
fears that the county court will not re-
duce the rate sufficient to lower the
mount of taxes in bulk they will have
to pay
Threats Of filing a suit testing the
constitutionality of the act creating the
public utilities commission or state
board of equalization, and its right 10
make assessment o., county properties
are being made. Others also are talk
ing OF filing taxpayers suits at the time
the county court is to fix the next AK
rate If the court fails to lower the rate
to correspond with the increased assess
ment and keep the taxes within the
budget, based on the present budget.
They say the court must do this; h a
there is no necessity of getting In any
more taxes than the needs Of the coun-
ty justify and that the county will need
no more taxes the coming year than are
collected this year,
A majority of the farmers say they
are not opposing the increased assess
ment being made by the state board
they say the uncertainty as to whether
the county court will lower the rate to
correspond Is what is worrying them.
Some of the farmers are claiming that
the high taxes, If the rate Is not re-
duced to correspond with the assess
