HIS LIFE WAS CRUSHED OUT.
Charley Green loses His Life at Car
rloglon Lumber Go's. Plant.
While at his regular work,
that of attending to a blind mak
ing machine in the plant of the
Carrington Lumber Company,
last Thursday, Charley Green
had his life crushed out by the
falling of some doors that were
near him. Mr. Green was about
16 years of age and was a faith
ful employe. ;
The particulars of this fatal
accident as learned from some of
those present", are as follows:
Charley Green!, was employed to
take finished blinds from a ma
chine that did this work. Near
to one side of this were stacked
a number of Very heavy doors
and blinds. One blind came
through that was too long and
caught one o&the doors. In try
ing to get tbis loose the doors
tilted forward and he was caught
between some eight or ten doors,
each weighing about fifty pounds
and the machine at which he was
at work. He was crushed and
fell under the weight of the
heavy doors. ;
Help reached him quickly, but
it was too late. Every attention
was given the dying young man
and a physician was summoned.
Working in the mill at the time
was one brother and probably
two of the young man who was
dying. They were with him.
In his suffering and agony he
did not murmur only to utter
several groans and to ask to be
raised to a sitting position: -This
was done and he died. These
are about all the facts regarding
the killing of the young fellow.
The remains were carried to
Brassfield Friday and interred in
the family burying ground, Rev.
C. J. Thompson, pastor of the
First Baptist church, conducting
the funeral.
