SAVANNAH - Republican Max Burns is attacking Democrat Champ Walker Junior for personal lapses in a tight race for Congress in the 12th Congressional District. <br> <br> The district stretches from Savannah to August to Athens. <br> <br> Burns&#39; attacks on Walker range from arrests that were never prosecuted to Walker&#39;s fathering a child with his wife before they married. <br> <br> In a recent interview, Burns called himself, ``the individual that has lived a life that will not embarrass my wife and my children.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Burns wants to convince voters that Walker -- now 34 and an Augusta businessman -- lacks the character to represent the district. <br> <br> Walker campaign spokesman Doug Moore accuses Burns -- a Sylvania college professor -- of trying to ``tear down a person so he can go to Congress.&#39;&#39;
