Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-30

For years almost without number
the Georgia Legislature has enjoyed
the reputation of being an assemblage
of dignified and earnest men-bur-
dened with the cares of state and
caring nothing for the frivolities of
life. And Georgia politicians have
padded the same boat. But now,
alas! They were exposed Monday
morning, and now are held up to
the rude gaze of the proletariat as
very ordinary. folks, and-here's the
climax-they are FLIRTS!
Miss Lucille Viera says so, and she
knows more about legislators and
politicians-not politics, mind you
than all the political experts in the
State of Georgia. Miss Viera, be it
known, is the handsome young wom-
an who presides over the cigar COun-
ter in that hotbed Of political tur-
moil-the Kimball House, where
measures and politicians are made
and unmade. During the summer
season, to quote Miss Viera. she is in
a position to make a close study of
legislation and legislators. And she
does it, and here is her verdict:
Politicians and legislators are
more fiirtatious than travelling sales

Old Enemies Meet
At Atlanta Station.

Enemies Of so years ago met In At
lanta Sunday night when George W.
Elkins, OF Aberdeen, surviving mem
Der of the Eleventh Mississippi Reg
iment, Davis Brigade, clasped hands
with h. Mannheim, of the old Sixty
sixth New York Infantry. at the Ter
minal Station, en- route to the Gettys-
burg reunion.
1t was the first time in half a cen
fury that Mr.. Elkins and Mr. Man
helm had met--the last time it was IN
the field of battle at Gettysburg,
where the two faced each other in
the charge on July 8, 1858
The two old veterans happened to
meet Sunday night at the Terminal
station while en- route to Gettysburg.
OF course. the old war scenes were re-
counted, Mr.. Elkins told Mr. Man
helm where he was engaged on that
memorable third day"
Why let's see, that's just about
where was" interrupted Mr Man
helm. DO you mean to say you
charged up that"
And then the whole truth dawned
upon each one. and such another
handshaking actual embracing, too
seldom has been seen in Atlanta
Terminal
Further comparing of notes devel-
oped the fact that Sergeant Elkins
was shot very near the spot where
he encountered Corporal Mannheim.
Mr. Manheim's company belonged
to Hancock's Corps. The two brigades
clashed in Pickett's famous charge.
According to careful figuring. Mr..
Elkin and Mr.. Mannheim fought with
G ten yards Of each other.
Many Reunions at Terminal.
The little scene was only one Of
many which was enacted Saturday
afternoon and Sunday when hundreds
of old veterans of both sides who
fought on both sides in the famous
battle passed through Atlanta en-
route to GettysburE where they viii
