FROM EAR TO EAR
HALVES CUT THROAT
In an Atlanta Hotel Athens Man
Took His own Life.

Atlanta, Sept. 12.-The body Of T. N
Halves of Athens was found early this
morning in room % of the Cannon
House, at Alabama and Pryor streets.
Halves had cut his throat with a razor,
and was lying in pool of clotted blood
when the room was broken open.
He went to the hotel Thursday night
and got a room. Since that time no
one had seen him, and it is thought
he killed himself either at that time
or on Friday morning, as there were
indications that he had been dead more
than twenty-four hours. The body had
already begun to decompose.
No note or communication of any
kind was left by Halves to explain
why he took his own life. He was orig
inally from Lincolnton. He went from
there to Columbus and engaged in bust
ness, and afterwards went to Augusta,
where he became member of the firm
of Halves a. Poore. He has been liv-
ing in Augusta for the last two years.
He has several brothers living. most of
his immediate relatives residing near
Lincolnton. One of his brothers was
telephoned for, and came tonight to
take charge of the body.

IN AUGUSTA BAR
PISTOL WAS USED.

Augusta, Sept. ia serious shoot
ing ARRAY occurred in Pat Brooks bar
on upper Broad street late tonight,
in which Stewart Hadley was shot in

Watkins, but only the latter's clothes
were cut. Watkins then drew his pis-
toll and sent two bullets into his as
sailant. The neck wound is not con-
sidered dangerous, but the bullet in
the breast entered the cavity and is
serious. Hadley has been taken to
the hospital, and Watkins is under ar

SPECIAL WORK
Crescent Sash and Door Co.
Disposes of Warehouse Stocks
PLANNING
Is TO be Constructed by Com
Dany in This City

The Crescent Sash and Door company
yesterday sold their stock OF sashes,
doors, mouldings and house finishing
lumber to the United Sash and Door COM
pany, and will go into special order plan
ing mill business exclusively. The en-
tire stock in the big warehouse on South
Santa Fe avenue was disposed of, and
will no longer be known as jobbers in
house finishing goods except on special
orders for mill work.
The company still retain the planning
mill on West First street, and they are
now looking for = location to build the
largest and finest equipped planning mill in
the state. Today the company will send
out a circular letter to their customers
throughout southern Kansas and Okla
homa, announcing that the Crescent Sash
and Door company Will no longer handle
the standard lines of house finishing
goods, but will devote their entire atten-
ton TO making stock on special orders.
Mr. V. +. Appleby, vice-president Of the
company, yesterday stated to the Eagle
that the company would hereafter do
only mill business. and that they were
now looking for a location to build a
planning mill in this city. He could not
give the size or cost OF the new mill as
their plans were not fully matured and
they have not yet purchased a site for
the mill. He stated, however. that the
new mill would be the largest one of its
kind in the state, equipped with the finest
of machinery and capable of doing the
most difficult work, and also a large
amount of il.
a little more than a year ago the
Crescent Sash and Door company moved
to this city from Winfield, and some
months later the Wichita planning mill
was consolidated with it. Mr.. Appleby, of
the planning mill company, becoming vice
president of the Crescent Sash and Door
company Since this reorganization the
company has enjoyed an exceedingly large
business in regular lines of sash and door
business, but have found that there is
large demand for special order work.
This demand is so large that the mills
here cannot fill all of the orders. so the
company decided that they would go out
of the regular jobbing business and de-
vote their time and attention to order
