Cedartown Standard,  Cedartown, GA., November 20, 1902
Charley Smith, A negro named Charley Smith was fatally injured Thursday morning 
at the Cedartown Oil Mills. In putting on a belt his clothing caught on a set 
screw, and he was drown on the revolving shaft and terribly mangled. In spite 
of his injuries he lived until 1 o’clock. No one but the victim himself seems 
to have been to blame for the accident. Another negro told him when he started 
to put on the belt that he would help him if he would wait a minute, but Smith 
persisted in doing it alone, paying the penalty of his carelessness with his 
life. (Cedartown Standard, November 20, 1902)
