Milledgeville Blaze Leaves
Historic Capitol In Ashes
Georgia suffered a severe historic
loss Monday when flames wrecked
the old state capitol building, now
part of the Georgia Military Col
lege at Milledgeville.
Only gaunt, Are blackened ruins
now mark the site of the structure
of Norman architecture, resembling
an English castle with its battle
ments.
Monetary loss was set at $75,000
by Colonel J. H. Jenkins, school
president, but he classed the loss
from a sentimental standpoint ns
inestimable.
The three-story building was used
as the state capitol from 1807 to
1808. It was converted into ft
school in 1880 when it became the
Middle Georgia Military and Agri
cultural College and in 1900 was
made the present G. M. C.
In it in 1861 the act was passed
by which Georgia formally seceded
from the union and joined the Con
federacy.
A hotel clerk spotted the fire and
turned in the alarm, but by the time
apparatus arrived the blaze had
gained considerable headway. To
prevent its spread to other struc
tures, help was summoned from the
fire department of the state hospital
and from Macon.
Cause of the fire was not deter
mined.

Citizens between Lavonia and
Royston last week witnessed a race
between the law enforcement offi
cers and those trying to evade the
law. Starting at Lavonia and dash
ing seven mlies beyond Royston, two
men listed as Grady Franklin ar.d
Brady Taum, both of Clarkesville,
led officers in a chase with their li
quor-laden car. In an attempt to
shake off the pursuing revenue men,
the car poured out a smoke screen
through the exhaust pipe from a
prepared cylinder. Aided by a stiff
breeze that swept the belching smoke
from the road, the officers finally
captured the bootleg car. A total of
84 gallons of liquor was taken and
the two culprits lodged in the coun
ty jail.

RURAL POWER
SERVING 70,000
A network of power poles and
wires stretching over thousands of
miles of hills and dales is furnish
ing electricity in the form of energy
and light to some 70,000 Georgia
rural homes.
This is an increase of 20,000 over
last year. Borne 50,000 homes are
receiving power through REA fi
nanced systems, while commercial
companies are supplying energized
to 20,000.
Over $16,000,000 has been loan
ed to the 43 REA-financed co-oper
atives.
The recent expansion meant a
vast increase in use of electrical ap-‘
plianccs. Many rural youths have
constructed home-made electrical
equipment, including chick brooders,
pig brooders, time clocks, poultry
waters, warmers, and the like.
If electric service continues to in- '
crease as it has in recent years, it
should not be long before about all
of the state’s rural population will
have electric energy.
