 The opening was steady at au advance of points on near months, which were influenced by moderate bull support, to a decline of 4 points in the later posi- tions as a result of lower cables and good weather over the south. After the opening prices worked up to net ad- vance of to 6 points on an active de- mand from some of the recent heavy sellers.

Will Build Bridues,

Girard September H. tSpeclal) The people of Columbus yesterday voted for the issuance of $75,00 of bonds with which a new bridge will be built across the Chattahoocnee river, between that city and lower Girard. Either steel or concrete bridge can be built, but in dications now are that the latter mate rial will be used Girard is doubly in- terested in the construction of the new bridge for 1t will not only give safer and more convenient communication with the Georgia city, but will also be the means of another street car exten- sion on the part of the Columbus Rail road company. This company has lines in Phenix City and upper Girard, and the general impression is that the build ing of the bridge at Dillingham; street will be followed immediately by the construction of a car line across that bridge into lower Girard, In which event a loop of the Girard lines would prob ably be formed.

New York, September n.-The senti- ent of spectators so far as 1t could be read in the action of the stock market was in a state of Aux today.

WILLIAM M'LEOD DIES.
The Public Schools Open With Large
 Attendance.

Eufnula, September 11.-(Special. )-Wil- liam Mcleod, prominent and influential citizen of the county, who resided at Batesville, died at his home yesterday and was buried there today. Deceased was S2 years old and was born in Ker- shaw county, South Carolina. He came to this section during his young manhood and was engaged in agricultural pursuits. He was twice married and is survived by eleven children and his last wife. In many respects he was remarkably well preserved and pursued his business duties with ceaseless activity until about a year ago, when the inf1rmities of old age set In and he gradually grew worse until the end came. He was widely known and was a conspicuous figure in his chosen avocation.
 The public schools of the city opened for the fall term today and the matricu- lation is very large. For several years an old building on Highland avenue has been used as an annex to accommodate the pupils and citizens are hoping ere the dawn of another year a larger and more adequate building will supply the de- mand.
 Mrs. Julia Butts and Misses Carrie Berry and Louise Foy left this morning for Augusta, Ga, where they will spend a week or more visiting the family of Eugene Martin.
 The Presbyterian manse is being put in condition preparatory to the arrival of the Rev D. J. Blackwell and family. MT. Blackwell has accepted a call to the pas torate and is expected to reach the city , from his former home in Commerce, Ga. tomorrow.
 Greatly to the qualification of the citi- zens along the line the regular passenger train between this city and Ozark has re- sumed It's former schedule in lieu of the mixed train that has been operated dur ing the summer months. A regular freight and accommodation train Is also maintaining a daily schedule.
