WEATHER: HOT AND CLOUDY.
A. C. FEARS PASSED
AWAY
#tar
Vears of Confinement inlthe Store He was Pre-
ing to Take a Mountain Camping Trip of a
Few Weeks When He Fell III and Grew
Weaker Until His Death Yesterday.
Yesterday morning at bis home at
tbe corner of Lumpkin and Strahan
streets, just as the dawn was streak
ing the east after a night of storm,
the 4rlt of Andrew Feat* passed
peacefully away.
Mr. Fears was prominent in busi
ness and church circles, a valued
u/iiuber of a prominent family, a cit
izen who will be missed from tbe va
rious acuities of the city.
He was forty-five tears old and un
til his ^eent illness had been in
splendid health for years, looking
younger than his real age. Ever
since his majority he had been in the
grocery business o^the firm of J. P.
& Son—being the active mem-'
for several years. Closely con
fined to his'Jwsiness tbe greater part
q of time, he did not mi* and partici
pate in outside affairs a great deal.
_ but was quiet, unobtrusive, positive,
^..gentle and gentlemanly. He was act-
I ive in the church—being a member
I of the First Methodist chinch and for
I some time a steward. He made so
, load professions and large preten-
' skmv. but those who knew him knew
te lived what he professed.
He is survived by his wife, who
was before marriage a Miss Jones:
his father and mother. Mr. and Mrs.
J. P. FeTB: one brother, 5fr. E. P.
Fears, of this city: and two sisters.
Sirs. Carl A. Von der Lietb, of Ath-
* ens. and Mrs. H. C. Kenney, of Ma-
. : <j ©on. There are no children.
The cause of Mr. Fears’ death was
a rather unusual one. though there
have been several deaths in Athens
/" from the same malady—hemothylia.
Mr. Fears literally bled to death. The
peculiar condition caused bleeding
from various parts of the body and
the loss of blood slowly and steadily
weakened the patient till death final
ly came. Three weks ago he was
taken Ill and he never raUied. but
constantly grew weaker ariff worse.
The funeral will be conducted from
the First Methodist church this after
noon at three o'clock, to be led by
Rev. Dr. M. L. Troutman, bis pastor,
' assisted by Rev. J. R. King of Atlanta
and Rev. E. L. Hill of the First Pres-
byterlan church of this city.
The pallbearers, who are’requested
to meet at the residence at 2:30
o'clock tills afternoon are Messrs.
Charles Baugh, Herbert Baugh. CUf-
. ford Williams, Rufus Weatherly. F-
H. Williams, and F. C. Therrell.
The honorary escort will be com
posed of the stewards of the First
'Methodist church: Mr. J. N. Webb,
Chancellor D. C. Barrow, Mr. E. J.
Bondnrant. Mr. Thomas Comer, Mr.

the remains will be borne to the fam

Taken away In the prime of man
hood, when his business was prosper
ing and his relations with neighbors
and friends was such as to give him
most genuine pleasure, while plan
ning a few weeks recreation and rest

grow slowly but inevitably weaker
and go out like the light of a candle,
seems beyond the power of human
reason to harmonize, but his friends

they know that his rest Is sweet.

Yesterday at chambers Judge C. H.
Brand of the western circuit superior
(£ourt heard the case of H. C. Conjp-
ton against F. D. and P. A. Gillen, a
case in which the former asked the
court to restrain Abe defendants from
pay^ig out any money of the Wilson-
Gillen drug business and asking a re
ceivership for tbe Gillens—father and
sons, who recently traded for an in
terest in tfep drug store on Claytgp
street, next to the Athenaeum cafe.
The hiring developed a number of
quite sensational points and to get
at the real facts and all the facts in
the matter on both sides the case
was allowed to go over till next Tues
day, when the hearing will be re
sinned and concluded.
Dr. H. C. Compton when seen last
night made some pretty salty state
ments in regard to the case. In sub
stance he stated that he had had a
three-fourths interest In tbe Comp-
tcn-Wilson drug store. He stated
that the elder Mr. Gillen kept after
him to sell out the interest to Gillen
and son; that after a long time he
finally traded—taking $309 in cash, a
note fo^j $1,000 tn which a prominent
financier was concerned, and ten
shares of stock In the Real Root
Beer Company—allowing $130.00 per
share. This last item in the remun
eration for the drug stock, said Mr.
Compton, proved to be a slice of blue
sky. He stated that Gillen claimed
| to him in trying to include tbe com
pany stock in the payn|$nt for the
drug business that the oempany was
organized, well officered, had $100,000
capital stock with $40,000 paid in,
that it had a large plant at Crawford
capable of making 100 gallons of root
beer syrup a day. that the first year
