A FATAL ACCIDENT
A 12-YEAR OLD BOY MEETS DEATH IN GINNERY
Death from natural and accidental causes are being reported every day. We recorded this passing away last week from natural causes one of our oldest citizens, who had reached his three score years and 10, and we have now to chronicle the death by a most appalling accident of a bright young lad who had scarcely rounded out a dozen years.
The little 12-year old son of Thomas Jeffries, residing near Rose Hill met with a sudden and awful death last Saturday. He was in some unaccountable way, caught by the line shaft in the ginnery of J.W. Tilman in that neighborhood and his life literally pounded out. The rapidly revolving shaft whirled the doomed boy with almost lightning speed, and with each revolution, his limbs would pound the ceiling, and when the body, bruised and bleeding finally dropped to the floor, life was extinct. Another sad reminder of the truth that "in the midst of life, we are in death."
On the same night that the victim of the accident lay in a corpse, in a home near by lay also, in the cold embrace of death, his first cousin, a one-year old babe of J.W. Tipton and wife.
