Ill ENDOWMENT FUND
FOB THE UNIVERSITY.
President Meldrim, of the Alumni
Sooiety Appoints Committee.
A RESOLUTION PASSED
By the 5odety at Its fleeting Last June Called
For the Appointment of This Committee—
There Will Be a Big fleeting of all Liv
ing Alumni In Athens Next June.
Atlanta tia., Feb. 23.—An alumni en
dowment fund is to be raised in the
interest of tbe state university, and tne
promiuent Georgians at the head of the
movement, which was inaugurated in
. he city yesterday morning, have pledged
their efforts for the success of the plan.
The fund which is expected to be
raised by private subscription among
the alnmni of the university in the state,
is to be placed at the disposal of a board
of trustees and used primarily for the
support of the yonng men, desiring
higher education, but who are nnahle
for pecuniary reasons to enter the uni
versity,
At the last meeting of the state uni
versity almni association, held in Athens
during the past commencement, the
body took up the proposition of appoint
ing a committee to advise a way for
A DISPENSARY
FOR OCONEE COONTY,
The Matter is Now Being Agitated
Over There. -
Died Yesterday Morning At
Home in This City.
BILL TO BE INTRODUCED
HAD BEEN ILL SOME TIME.
To Establish a Dispensary in the .Town of Wat-
ktnaville—This Measure Has Its Friends
and Ito Opponents—People Will
Express Their Opinions.
I
Mr. McOInty Had Been a Citizen of Athens For
a.Number of Years Past—He Was £
Prominent Contractor—The Funeral
Takes Place Today.
Oconee county may have a dispensary
within the next twelve months.
At least that subject is now being agi
tated among the people-of that county,
although nothing definite can now be
predicted ob to the outcome of the agita
tion.
Those who favor the establishment of
a dispensary at Watkinsville say that
them are so many people selling liquor
in that county under United States
license that prohibition is being seriously
blocked there.
They also say that a considerable
amount of money is spent by Oconee
county citizens at the Athens dispensary
and that the profits on these purchases
go toward improving Clarke comity
roads and running Clarke connty
schools, and that the connty of Oconee
might as well have a dispensary and
keep th.s money at home.
On the other hand there is a large ele
ment in Oconee county opposed to any
change whatever in the law, and they
will fight tbe establishment of a dispen
sary in that connty.
The people of Oconee connty will in
all probability take a straw vote on the
question to see bow the sentinfent really
stands in the connty.
In all probability a bill will be intro
duced at the next meeting of the general
assembly to establish a dispensary at
Watkinsville.

Yesterday morning at half past eleven
clock, Mr. Manasseh B. McGinty died
suddenly at his home on Lumpkin
street.
Mr. McGinty’s death resulted from
heart failure caused by inflammation of
the stomach and bowels.
About three weeks since Mr. McGinty
went to Atlanta on business, and while
there he was taken sick. He went to
the home of a relative, where he re
mained until a few days since. He was
attacked by jaundice and a complica
tion of diseases, hat rallied and suc
ceeded in recovering sufficiently to re
turn to his home in this city.
Tu^day he reached Athens and went
immediately to his home He seemed
to be improving gradually, and Wed

way, laughing and chatting pleasantly
Yesterday just before noon Mrs. Mc
Ginty started to give him a dose of med
icine. He raised np in bed as if to take
the medicine, and immediately fell
back and died.
Mr. McGinty had for mai y years been
citizen of Athens. He was a prom
inent contractor, and daring kis life
bnilt quite a large number of large and
small buildings not only in Athens but
throughout this section of the state.
For several years he was a member of
the firm of McGinty & Honnicntt,
which dissolved some eight years since.
For the past few months Mr. McGinty
had been engaged in the work of build
ing the new courthonse bnilding at
Clayton, Rahnn county, Ga. His
health failed him suddenly and he had
to give np his work for the past three
weeks.
Mr McGinty leaves a wife and sever
al children to monrn his death, aud to
them the heartfelt sympathies of many
friends are extended. __ _
The funeral will be conducted this
afternoon at half past three o’clock at
the First Methodist chnrcb, and the re
mains will be laid to rest in Oconee
cemetery. Dr. Heidt will conduct the
services assisted by Dr. Yonng.

Under the recommendation of the
special committee appointed to investi
gate the question, the city council has
authorized the construction of a new
bridge across the Oconee river from a
point in Oconep- cemetery to a point
across the river, connecting the cemetery
with the eighty acres of land recently
purchased by the cemetery trustees for
-burial purposes.
The greater part of the work will be
done by tflfe city and very little will be
contracted for, The work of construct
ing the approaches to the bridge will be
started next week, and will be under
the supervision of City Engineer Bar
nett.
The approach on this Bide of the river
will be at least one hundred and fifty
feet long to a brick pier which will be
twenty-four feet high. On the other
side of the river the pier will he only
eight feet high and the approach will
be short.
The bridge will be constructed of steel
and will be sixteen feet wide, allowing
two driveways of eight feet each. The
total cost of the bridge and approaches
will be about $2,500
The approach to the bridge from this
side the river will start at a point just
below the Tom Cobb lot.
The city will do all the work except
the steel work. That will be contracted
for. As soon as the bridge is completed
the trustees will begin the sale of lots in
the new cemetery.
