Man Electrocuted
As Dragline Boom
Hits Power Line
A 20-year-old Pierce county
youth was accidentally electro
cuted Monday morning, Feb. 23,
when the boom from a dragline
he was assisting in loading on a
low-boy truck came in contact
with a power line.
William Lawton Hickox, son of
Melvin Hickox, Offerman, died
instantly as a result of the ac
cident which happened four miles
southeast of Blackshear on the
old river road.
The dragline was being driven
on the low-boy by T. C. Brown,
Route 1, Patterson, and Hickox
was on the ground assisting. He
had taken hold of the cable ex
tending from the boom.
According to reports, Mr.
Brown said that he did not see
Hickox holding the cable prior
to the accident and did not real
ize the boom had come in con
tact with the power line until
he saw young Hickox crumple
to the ground.
He rushed to his aid and re
ceived a severe shock when he
touched him. Realizing then what
had happened, Mr. Brown rushed
back to the dragline and moved
the boom off the line.
Funeral services will be held
Saturday at 10 a. m. at the
Pleasant Hill Baptist Church near
Patterson with Rev. V. C. Bailey
and Rev. Claude Thornton offic
iating. Interment will be in the
New Home cemetery.
The body will remain at the
Darling Funeral Home in Black
shear until Friday morning at
which time it will be carried to
the home of his father near Of
ferman.
Survivors in addition to his
father include three sisters, Mrs.
Julia Lawton, Moses Lake^ Wash
ington, Mrs. Annie Merchant,

Negro and 2-Year-Old Child
Drown in Pond Near Bristol
A Negro man and his two
year-old son were drowned Sun
day afternoon when their boat
overturned in a farm pond north
of Bristol on Highway 121.
The dead were James E. Camp
bell, 31, and Clarence Fay Camp
bell, 2.
Campbell had been fishing with
the child in a boat Sunday af
ternoon in a pond belonging to
R. D. Thomas of Patterson. Camp
bell and his family lived on the
Thomas farm about one mile
north of Bristol.
Two step-sons of Campbell,
Charles Pugh, 14, and Jerry Can
non, 12, reported that the Negro
man had stopped fishing and ap
peared to be rocking the boat as
if to amuse the child when it
overturned. The older boys were
on the bank at the time of the
drowning about 2:00 p. m. and
ran for help.
Sheriff J. H. Pittman and
troopers of the Georgia State
Patrol took charge of efforts to
find the bodies of the drowning
victims. Other law enforcement
officers from nearby counties also
came to the scene.
Several hundred persons
gathered as the pond was drag
ged for several hours with grap
pling hooks from three boats.
The bodies were found about
6:15 p. m. Sunday.

Cotton Farmers
To Make Choice
The next important date for
upland cotton producers is the
March 16 deadline for making a
choice between the (A) allotment
and the (B) allotment for their
farms, according to A. G. Dixon,
chairman of the County Agricul
tural Stablization and Conserva
tion Committee.
All Cotton farm operators have
been sent a notice of the price
support levels and a reminder of
the (A) and (B) allotments for
their farms.
Mr. Dixon urged all cotton
farmers to make their choice of
cotton allotment by the deadline
on March 16. After that date all
farms on which the operator has
not made a choice will have the
(A) allotment in effect for 1959.
This is a requirement of the law
and cannot be changed by the
County ASC Committee.
Choice (A) farm allotments are
the regular allotments. Choice
(B) farm cotton allotments are
40 percent larger than the Choice
(A) allotments.
Another requirement is that a
farm operator who has more
than one farm must choose either
the (A) cotton allotment for all
the fanjjs he operates or the (B)
allotment for all his farms. Mr.
Dixon suggests that an operator
who has an interest in other
farms because of leasing, cor
porate, partnership, estate, or
other operating arrangements
should check with the county
ASC Office to determine his stat
us on all the farms.
