A Distressing Accident.

One of the most distressing gin
accidents that has occurred In this
section took place at Mr.. Dick
Sowell's GIN just over the line in
Chesterfield county last Thursday.
Mr.. Wesley Quick, who runs the
gin, is Mr.. Sowels son. in law,
and he is the one who suffered the
accident. While he was feeding
the gin his hand was caught and
the arm drawn in clear to the
shoulder. Here he was held for
sometime while the gin continued
to run and tear the flesh and bone
till his screams attracted the At.
tention of the negro hand on the
yard who ran and stopped the
gin. In the negro's excitement
he jerked Mr.. Quick's arm from
the gin and pulled his hand off In
so doing. Only fortunate cir
cumstance saved the wounded
mans life, for he would most Ger.
tainly have bled to death had not
assistance been near. DR.. A. D.
n. Whitley happened to be at Mr..
Quick'S house nearby, attending
upon Mrs. Quick, who was in
delicate condition. DR.. Whitley
attended to the wounded man,
and that night he and DR.. j. B.
Eubanks amputated the arm with-
IN three inches of the shoulder. -
