While cleaning out gin ut the gin
merry of the Lowndcsville Cotton Oil
20. early Saturday morning, the Oil
Mill foreman, Mr.. r. o. Ficquet, had
his hand caught in the saws and the
hand and arm terribly injured. With
extraordinary nerve and presence of
mind he threw his shoulder against the
breast and thus prevented the saws
from drawing the arm further up. AS
soon as the gin could be thrown out of
gear and the arm released, the unfor-
dunate man was carried to tho Kay
House, where Drs. Spcer and Wilson
attended him. An examination showed
that tho thumb and second finger on
the left hand were cut away, and that
the left arm had three deep gashes
running from the hand up. The face
was also bruised from having been
thrown violently against the gin breast.
He is now ut his home in cold town.
Since coming from Elberton two years
ago to take charge Of the Mill, Mr..
FicQuet has won the confidence Of his
employers by his faithfulncss to duty,
honesty, thorough and painstaking at
tcntion to detail, and by his general
efficiency, and this unfortunate acci-
dent is greatly dcplorcd.
