Macon, Ga Oct 15, (special) Almost within the same hour, shortly after 8 
o'clock this morning, two citizens of Bibb county, lost their lives this 
morning by being ground to pieces in cotton gin. In both cases the men were 
caught in the breast of the gin and shutehod? to their death. the saws having 
horribly mutilated the arms and portions of the body dragged within reach.

At the East Macon ginnery, Spivey R. Fuller, an employee about the plant, who 
had been engaged about a month, attracted the attention of another employees 
with his loud cries. Within moments the machinery was stopped and he was 
released from his perilous position, but not before several arteries had been 
severed. Within a few mintues he was carried to the city hospital and there 
death relieved his suffering before the physicians could render the 
neccessary aid in stopping the flow of blood. 

The remains were removed to a undertaking establishment and arrangements were 
made for the funeral. He is survived by his wife and two children.

The second man was not related in the same accident as Spivey's.
