Tom Dodson, tho young son of W
A. Dodson, met with a very painful ac
cident yesterday that may have tho ef
fect of confining him to the house for a
long while.
He was superintending tho ginning of
cotton on Mr, Armstead Dodson’s place,
when in some manner not yet explained
his arm was caught in tho gin shafting.
In an instant it was badly crushed be
tween tho wrist and elbow, tho large
bone being broken In one and the small
bone in two places.
As quickly as possible he was removed
to the house, where his injuries were
examined. Dr. Cato, who lives near by,
rendered the necessary assistance, and
the young man is doing as well as could
be expected.
Many accidents result to persons
working about cotton gins, not a few
of which terminate fatally. Experienced
ginners often become careless, and the
result is a shattered arm or at least the
loss of several lingers. The aejident
yesterday, however, was not the result
of carelessness, and is much regretted by
the friends of tho young man.
