LIVE ELECTRIC ME
BURNS TWO CHILDREN
Rev. D. W. Brannen is
Off For a Vacation
Editor Milledgeville News:
It may sound paradoxical —to some
verv practical-minded persons, quixotic
—for me to say that for nearly two
weeks past I have been rusticating in
Atlanta.
Go to a city to rusticate! Men seek
the quiet places when they want rest
from t.bo stress and strain of business.
They go to the seashore and listen to
what the sad waves say—lulled to sleep
at night by the beating of the surf up
on the long white beach. Or they find
some Sylvan retreat in the mountains
where the rattle of the street ear and
tho shriek of the steam engine has not
penetrated and there amid the silence
of nature try to find rost for tired brain
and recover strength for the next cam-
[paign.
That may be, doubtless is, the real
natural, rational thing to do, but I
havo pursued an entirely different
mothod. Call it foolish, whimsical, or
irration; if you will, I have sought and
found rest right in the heart ot Geor
gia’s noisiest city. To me there has
been recreation in the crowds that day
and night throng the busy marts. I
have been lulled to sleep b.v the rattle
of tho cars over the steel rails, motion
has conducoi to quiet nerves, the
s'ghts, the sounds, the rush, the roar— ; „

all these things mingled together have ;
brought me surcease from the daily-
openings of the past, when tnere were
hot contests over the speakership, the
proceedings were tame to the point of
dullness. Barring the motion of ths
“Gentleman from Chattooga”to make
the election of John S. Holder unani
mous—when he had received every vote
cast for speaker—there was nothing to
break the monotony of tho routine and
the gentleman in question succumbed
to the soporific efforts of the clerk’s re
peated roll calls. Long before the be
ginning of the reading of the gover
nor’s message that gentleman was
quietly resting.

Monday afternoon Rollin and Lois
Cardell, the seven year-old son and lit
tle four-year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Otis Cardell, were badly burned
bv an electric wire on the corner of
Montgomery and Jefferson streets.
The wire had fallen down beside a post,
according to a statement made, and the
little girl touched it, receiving a severe
shock. The little boy attempted to re
move her and was almost electrocuted,
being burned badly in the face and on
the head and bands.
