going to school
Do tlie children go to school? And are they joyous
and happy? Is school-life a pleasure? And is progress
being made ? Or is the opposite true ? Does the close of
each day bring a headache ? There is no appetite and sleep
is imperfect. The color gradually leaves the cheeks and
only a little effort is followed by exhaustion. To continue
school means to come to the end of the year with broken
health. What is the best thing to do ? Take

Arrested in Carrollton Charged
Cheating and Swindling.
L. Fitzgerald, an>gent for the Excel
sior Portrait School, of St. Louis, was
arrested by Marshal Travis at the Ma-
pleton Hotel Tuesday night. The basis
of the arrest was a telegram from the
sheriff of Polk county, i’u which it was
stated that Fitzgeraid was cherged there
with cheating and swindling and to ar
rest him and to hold him until he came
after him. In accordance with this tele
gram Mr. Trav is arrested Fitzgerald.
After Fitzgerald’s arrest, on Wednesday
morning, a warrant was sworn out by
the Mapleton Hotel also charging him
with cheating and swindling, because, as
they claim, he had refused to pay his
board bill. The |warrant was served
by Sheriff Gammon and Marshal
Travis gay? prisoner up to
the sheriff on this authority, bo that
when the sheriff of Polk county came
down on the noon train Wednesday, he
found Fitzgerald in the possession of
Sherifl'Gammon,who would not turn him
over until the case against hi m here was
disposed of. Fitzgerald is uow in jail
here under this last charge.
His lawyer, Col. Sid Holderness,
thinks he will have no trouble in clear
ing his client whenever the case
comes into the courts. He says that
the warrant sworn out against him in
Cedartown, was because tlie portrait
company had telegraphed there that
they had no such agent. This Col. Hol-
Holderness admits is true as Fitzgerald
was a sub-agent, working under another
agent, and therefore not known to the
company. •
Fitzgerald is a bright and intelligent
young man and talks with a great deal
of confidence and plausibility. He came
to Carrollton Saturday, accompanied by
his wife, a Jewess, who recently ran
away and married him. so she states, in
Birmingham.
His wife left here on the noon train
for Atlanta, Wednesday, but was inter
cepted by telegram at Newnan, and was
brought back here, but was afterwards
released and was carried through the
country Wednesday night to Temple,
where she wished to take the train for
Atlanta.
Just before going to press we have re
ceived a note from Fitzgerald earnestly
asking the publication of the following
card from himself. Fitzgerald is t
newspaper maD, he claims, having wort
ed upon a paper in St. Louis and the
force and vigor with which he uses the
“Queens English,” as will be seen by
his card below, certainly bears out the
claim. If his card does injustice to any
one, our columns are of coarse opeu for
a reply.
FITZGERALD'S CARD,
Carrollton, Ga., Jan. 30ih, 1896. To
the Editor of tne Free Press, City.
Sir: As my arrest and incarceration in
the Carrollton jail, seems to have made
quite a sensatiun in the community, in
justice to myself, 1 want to give some
absolute facts to the public, through
your valuable paper. They are as fol
lows: For some unknown reason the
Cedartown authorities telegraphed an
order for my detention here. Upon
this the proprietors of the “Mapleton
Hotel,” without presenting my bill,
(which I was both able and willing to
pay,) obtained au attachment, in the
middle of the night, and levied on my
personal property for a sum twice the
amount of my debt to the “Mapleton.”
In the morning, 1 tendered them,in the
presence of witnesses,.!he amount of
my indebtedness (as per our verbal
contract) which they refused, demand
ing twice that amount. Not content
with unjustly seizing upon my proper
ty they swore out a warrant for my ar
rest for the nou-pavment of mv Hotel
bill.
Finding, that even under arrest, I
would not submit tamely to suci ex
tortion, they attempted to injure me
by persecuting my wife, who bad left
the city. They had her brought back
ou a maliciously trumped up charge.
Then, at about midnight, a suitable
time for such work,the offer was made
me if I would pay $20, that my wife
would not be further molested and that
I would be released, although many
promises and contradictory statements
were made, I refused to be blackmail
ed, feeling secure in a clear conscience
and a knowledge that the hospital aud
chivalrous Georgian public would not
tolerate such persecution of an inno
cent woman, who was guilty only of
the crime (?) of being a "stranger
within your gates.”
The above facts can be easily verifi
ed by your own citizens. Trusting
that the southern people are too hospi
table to allow such persecution of a
stranger only for the reason that he is
a stranger and thanking the gentle
manly local officers for the considerate
manner in which they have performed
their duty, I remain, Yours Resp’y,
L. Fitzgerald.

A Dray Horse Runs Away.
The horse attached to Mr. Jesse R.
Giiffin’s draj-, becoming frightened at
some noise, while standing in front of
the Southland Hotel, ran away Tuesday
night. He came by the Free Press of
fice, and on to the depot, across the rail
road, out South street to the Koopville
road. He kept going down the Roop-
ville road till he got to Roopvill®, twelve
miles distant, about 12 o’clock, where
he wa3 taken up by a negro man, in
front of Mr. Z. P. Almon’s house.
Strange to say that in this long trip
neither the horsp, dray nor harness were
injured. Two trunks and a valise in the
dray, were thrown out. One of the
trunks and the valise were fouud be
yond the railroad, that night, but the
whereabouts of the other trnnk were not
discovered until the next day. A negro
on Mr. Webb’s place had picked it up on
the road and carried it to his house and
telling Mr. Webb about it, the latter had
it carried to his residence. The trunks
belonged tc drummers.
HELP T
Some time ago, Rev. W. E, Dozier
announced publicly that he would be
one of any number of citizens to give
two volumes to our Public School Li
brary, Several gentlemen whose
names appear below, baye already re
sponded to the proposition. We desire
to increase the number to 50 or 100.
vVe must have a first class school libra-
rary. We have made au excellent be
ginning, having now in the library
about 210 volumes.
If somt^benevolent citizen or the
Boaid of Education will donate a
small amount each year for the pur
chase of new books, the members of
the Library wfi}! extend to all the school
the free U3e ; q| the books. At present
h small fee is paid by each member in
order to secure a fund for the purchase
of new books and for the privilige of
using the books. The results are un
satisfactory, as only a limited number
are willing to pay the fee for the use
of the books, and hence the members
of the Libraiy are few.
The small amout of five or ten dol
lars a year would justify the members
in making the library free to all the
school. Who will help us?
The following is, I think, a correct
list of those who have promised two
volumes to the libraay. Let us hear
from others.

OUR NEEDS.
Perhaps our greatest need is » larger
measare of local patriotism and city
pride, for this would be a powerful
stimulas towards supplying all our
other needs. We have a magnificent
court house and a splendid hotel, and
now, if we only had three handsome
churches, and above all, a well-equip
ped, modern, and comfortable school
building, I doubt not that our citizens
would have a larger tneasme of city
pride and enthusiasm, which might lead
to larger things for our town, such as
cottou factories. But I don’t care to
speak of these needs now, for 10 sup
ply them would involve considerable
expense.
In writing these articles, I desire to
suggest needs that may be supplied
with comparatively no expense, and
and yet would be great helps to our
city. We need a Y. M. C. Association
in our town, with a pleasant room,
centrally located, and supplied with
newspapers, magazines &c., of the
best order for reading; also with
game* of various kinds as chess,
draughts &c. This room* might be
opened every night from 6 to 10 o’clock
p. m, with one night in each week set
apart for exercises of some kind, re
ligious or literary. Let the room be
opened to all young men, who were
decorous in their behavior.
Again, we need more shade
trees. Let each citizen plant
them in front of his property.
Don’t ask the city to do it. Do it your
self. It will cost you but ltttle and,
iu course of time, will add much to the
appearance and,comfort of our town.

All who knew him will regret to hear
of his earlv death.
There is no American, living
dead, North or south, who stood near
er the hearts of the people, or whose
memory is held with more sacred affec

ou this side of the wiped-ont but never-
to-be-forgotten “line” feel that they
know him; but there is still much of
his history and that of his family and
his ancestors that has never yet been
told. On this account th« Free Press
is pleased to note the announcement of
Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly re

A Matter of Opinion.
A gentleman was greatly surprise and
pleased tne other day at the reply a la
dy gave to the question: “Do you
plant Tick’s seeds?” Her answer was:
“I always plant Vick’s seeds in the
front yard, but we get cheap seeds in
the bacK yard, which I know is a mis
take.”
It pays to plant good seeds, and we
advise onr friends who are thinking of
doing anything in this line toseud 10
cents for Yick’s Floral guide for 1896.
This amount may be deducted from
