NEW ATLANTA AFTERNOON jPAPER All Efforts to Make the Judge Talk Prove Unavailing—Nothing Could Draw Him Out or Make Him Talk. f ? I The Reporter The Question, Tbe Sphinx. Judge Joel Branham is making a state reputatioi as a sphinx. It is all about that new afternoon paper to be started in Atlanta for which he has applied for a charter. While the Rome contingent of news paper men have some curiosity yet, the interest is intense all over the state and in Atlanta it is a great sensation. Correspondents in Rome for out of town papers made the life of Judge Branham miserable Sunday and yesterday With vain questionings and a string of interrogation points something like this was fired at him: ??????? ???????????? The best quizzers in newspaperdom went against the great legal interrogator only to meet a Waterloo. When the questions became too press, ing he would check the interrogator, or refuse to answer. His answer that he said could be quoted was this: *T make it an invariable rule never to speak of my professional affairs.” He also denied that J. S. Appleton was his son-in-law as was reported in some of the papers. The people of Rome, however, knew that this was a mistake as they are aware that his name is D. S. Appleton. This was all the judge would say, and two mogul locomotives could not have drawn more out of him. A Tribune man took him the Macon, Savannah, Augusta and other papers yesterday containing notices about tbe new afternoon paper, and sur mises and guesses, and endeavored to get him to deny or affirm. Whether his venture would absorb tbe Atlanta Commercial? When it would appear? Who would be its editor? What would be its politics ? Was it not an effort to bear the At lanta Journal’s stock? And a dozen, or two other ques tions. But the judge he just looked wise and like the“ Sphinx” said nothing. He did admit that Appleton was only distantly related to bis son in law, and that in hie mail he had re ceived numerous applications from persons wantiug jobs. And the question of the newspaper men of Georgia still is ? Cascar- ts stimulate liver, kidneys and bowels. Never sicken, weaken or gripe. 10c, Fresh stock Ralston Breakfast food at L, G, Todd, NEWS OF LINDALE. Newspaper Ceases Publication -Per so: al and Social Notes. Mr. G. M. Sullivan, formerly agent of the Southern railway here, but now of Gadsden, Ala., was here a few days ago to see his “uncle.” Miss King, who moved from Dal ton to this place a few days ago, took a relapse of fever and died on last Tues day, and was buried at the Lindale cemetery. The Lindale Nightingales enjoyed a pleasant singing last Sunday evening, and several leaders were present and showed the great power of song, and the wonderful influence it has over the human mind. Mr. Hunter went to Rockmart last Sunday evening to see his aunt. He is very devoted to her (we mean his aunt). Some say he writes to her (we mean h.s aunt) three or four times a week. The mill shipped six cars of cloth la»t week and received 1.000 bales of cotton which makes a very good week’s work. Mr. Chas.
