Linemau Bnrned by
High Voltage Wire

While working at the Union Seed and

afternoon, changing insulators on SOM
of the electrical construction. P. Atkins
son, a lineman in the employ Of the
Georgia Railway and Power company,
came in contact with nigh voltage wire
containing $4,000 volts, and was knock
ed unconscious and burned badly about
the body.
The accident occurred about 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon as the Job was about
finished. Atkinson was working with
Foreman Glass and another lineman'
Walter Glass, when he in some unknown
manner came into contact with the high
voltage wire
He was taken to the Atlanta hospital
where he was given treatment, but II
was impossible last night for the doc
tors to ascertain just how badly he was
burned or what his chances for recoV-
cry were Atkinson lives with his wife

to The Journal that he reached the
scene of the accident within ten minutes
after its occurrence, and that the strick-
en- boy gave one gasp and died. DR.
Hodges was puzzled as to just how or
where the connection was established
but said that he was sure death came
from elecIrocution and not from the
shock attending a weak current.
MOTHER FRANTIC.
Wilford's mother was the only adult
member of the boys family at home
at the time of his death, his father being
at present at Eufaula, Ala. where he was
notified by wire of his sons death. His
older sister, Miss Lucille Hammett. was
visiting in Fairburn, and the frantic
mother is in a state of collapse over the
sudden bereavement
Central railroad officials were at loss
to account for the manner in which the
current was received, and Saturday night
all wires connecting the signal post were
cut until careful investigation can as
certain the manner in which such a sup
posedly heavy current could have reach
ed the lad.
Besides his parents and his elder sis
ter, Wilford Hammett is survived by two
younger brothers and two little sisters
His father started for Atlanta imme-
diately upon receiving news of his sons
death.
Wilford was a carrier for The Journal
in Hapeville and had just finished dis
tributing his evening papers. He was
at the station to greet the train when
the unfortunate occurrence happened. He
was very popular among his associates
and was known to be a very earnest
and kindly boy.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
NOT CLOSED DESPITE
REJECTION Of ALLIES
Still Hopeful That
Conference May Be Arrang-
ed or Warning Powers Will
Exchange Further Views
[Ey Associated Press. J


WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-There were
no official expressions here of the views
of President Wilson and the admins
tration on the entente reply to the
German peace proposals for the dual
reason that the United States is act
ing only as an intermediary between
the belligerents, and because a policy
of silence has been adopted during this
stage of tire peace negotiations.
The unofficial opinion, which proba-
bly, was a rejection of the official hope
for progress toward peace, was that
some means for a further exchange be-
tween the warning powers would be
found and that even if the present ne
gotiations fail a basis had been laid
which it was hoped would make for
progress in the final analysis.
First informal comment by one Off
cial who had had a chance to study
carefully an official forecast and who
checked against it the full press text
was that the allies had responded very
much as expected, that they had play
ed their strongest cards for moral sup
port among their own people and in
neutral countries, and that while they
had made it hard for Germany to re-
ply without decidedly changing her
tone, they had still left the door open
for another advance.
Official Washington, however. was
deeply perplexed as to the future and
admitted that it probably depended on
the internal conditions and confidence
of the two warning groups and sec
ondly on how far President Wilson
would decide to push his own peace ef-
forts. On the whole first comment in

may have diminished but had not disap-

Just how the boy came in contact with
the electric current was unknown at
late hour Saturday night after electri-

According to DR.. w. S. Wells, fam

met was standing near the semaphore of
the Central of Georgia railroad, which

pipe containing wires which serve as
conductors to the low candle power in

this is not an uncommon disease we are
Inclined to think it has PROBABLY caus-

ly known as "lumpy jaw" and arises
from a vegetable organism which gains

the enlargement is due to the bullying

tumor becomes larger and larger and
finally breaks, and though IL may heaI

free from the bone it can best be remov-

About the only treatment which can
be followed with any hope of success is
that of giving iodide of potash Internal

Iodism generally sets UP in about one
