Ben T. Epps Hurt and Otis Camp of Winder Crushed
   Last Thursday evening just as the sun was sinking behind the hills, Mr.
Ben T. Epps and Otis Camp, Jr., of Winder, were preparing to land after
being in the air with Mr. Epps plane, crashed into the bank injuring
Mr. Epps - and the death of Mr. Camp.
   Ben was piloting the machine, who was bruised, cut and suffered a
mangled leg.  It was at first thought he had suffered a concussion of
the brain, his leg was almost crushed  almost to a pulp, but physicians
at his bedside say that his leg can be saved.
   Mr. Otis Camp, Jr., son of Sheriff Camp of Barrow county, was a
passenger in the plane when the fatal accident happened.  Sheriff Camp
was notified immediately after the accident, but before he could reach
Athens, the young man was dead.  The funeral of young Camp was
conducted from the Christian church at Winder Sunday afternoon, and
interment in the church cemetery.  Otis was taking lessons under Mr.
Epps, this was his third lesson.  He was 17 years of age and a student
of the Winder high school.
