EDITORIAL CA USES EDITOR
TO BE ARRESTED FRIDAY
Charging that an editorial of this
week's Citizen was in contempt of
court, Judge A. W. Fite ordered Mr.
T. S. Shope, of that paper, arrested.
The following is the editorial said
to have raised the anger of Judge
Fite: *
A GREAT CHARGE.
“ ‘A charge to keep I have,’
A bench to ‘glorify’;
A never-dying office greed
To hold until I die.
“That was a characteristic charge
Judge Fite got out of his system Mon
day. In fact it was great. Chief
Justice White would have been moved
possibly to tears, and mayhap out of
his seat, had only fate made it pos
sible for him to have heard it. Such
chief justices as John Marshall and
Melville Fuller must have turned in
their graves while the Cherokee judge
was delivering himself of wit, wisdom
and legal lore.
“The real fact is there was no jury
to charge. The judge simply had to
talk. He loves to talk; his voice is
sweet and melifluous, and no matter
whether he says anything or not it
sounds good—to him. He talked for
sometime, but said nothing.
“He deplored the fact that some of
Dalton’s ladies, by invitation, visited
Cartersville, his home town, and
played euchre. He hoped, however,
they were young and thoughtless
(right here should be applause). No
matter if a near kinsman of his did
win first prize, the 1-a-a-w is mighty
FITE DENIES HE MADE I
SHOPE SIGNANY PAPER
Cartersville, Ga., July 29—Judge 1
A. W. Fite, in a statement issued to
night, denies that he forced Editor
Shope, of the Dalton Citizen, to sign
any apology for an editorial which
appeared in The. Citizen, on account
of which Judge Fite charged Editor *
Shope with contempt of court and I
ordered his arrest. (
Judge Fite says that he did not 1
speak to Mr. Shope, nor give any in- 1
timation of what he would do if Mr. *
Shope did not sign the paper which
Judge Fite dictated, after refusing i
to accept the apology which Editor 1
Shope’s counsel presented. Judge
Fite’s statement follows:
“1 did not force Shope to sign any
paper, nor did I speak to him. When
his counsel presented his apology I
refused to accept it. I then dictat
ed the answer, which he signed. I
did not speak to him nor intimate
what I would do if he did not sign
it. After consutation with his
counsel he signed the answer. I then
passed the order dismissing the case
at his cost.”
Dysentary is a dangerous disease,
hut can be cured. Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reme
dy has ben successfully used in nine
epidemics of dysentary. It has nev
er been known to fail. It is equally
valuable for children and. adults, and
when reduced with water and sweet
ened, it is pleasant to take. Sold by
all dealers.
BALL GAME PROPOSED
FOR GREAT WHITE WAY
Inasmuch as there yet remains a
few dollars necessary to put up the
great white way lights and as the time
is approaching for it to be raised.
The Argr.s suggests that the busi
ness men pet up a game of base ball
by which to raise the funds. If this
suggestion meets approval The Argus
would like to have all to call or phone
in their opinions. There is no
doubt but that a fine game can be
arranged, the money seemed and a
lot of fun. The Argus knows of a
prominent society belle who says she
will gladly sell tickets over at the
ball park for this occasion. Let’s
have the <rmc by all means.
s and must be enforced.
f “One of the weighty features of the
• judge’s charge was with reference to
an owl that was recently killed iu
1 Cartersville. Just where any trans
? gression crept in is not known, un
less the judge considered the owl had
no business in his home town. How
ever, this is merely an assumption on
our part, and we do not wish to make
a positive declaration, as the party
of the second part (the owl) is dead,
and its side of the question must for
ever remain a secret.
“The judge'did not refrain from
■ taking credit for the good effect of
‘prohibition’ on the people of the
circuit. He knows there are few. if
any, blind tigers in his jurisdiction.
Ths does the judge credit, and has the
effect of a safe-guard to the vendors
of blind tiger booze. We are sure
they appreciate his consideration, and
will at all times be ready and willing
to return the favor in anv wav they
• * • I
can.
“After all these powerful ques
tions had been settled the judge took
great care to say that he hoped he
would not be misunderstood or mis
quoted.
“Seriously speaking, there was not
a thought or an idea in what the
judge said. It was simply a rehash
of wdiat he has always shouted. And
yet the people vote for him and keep
him in office. They must do it on the ■
ground that they want to be amused 1
when they attend court. Really we
think the price too high, and suggest ,
that for amusement the picture show |
or circus is preferable.”
WILL RING BIG
TONI RIOT BELL
When the Get-Together Meet Comes
Off It Will Be Heard for the First
Time.
“Big Tom,” the riot bell in the
tower of the jail, will be rung for
five minutes by Mr. Edgar L. Nance
on next Tuesday night a week (full
moon.) This being the opening fea
ture of the city’s get together outing
on Fort Dependable.
This is said to be the largest bell
in Dalton, and as few of our citizens
ever heard its tone the ringing of the
bell on this occasion will prove quite
interesting.
Granulated Sore Eyes Cured.
“For twenty years I suffered from
a bad ease of granulated sore eyes,
says Martin Boyd, of Henrietta, Ky.,
“In February. 1903 a gentleman ask
ed me to try Chamberlain’s Salve. I
bought one box and used about two
thirds of it and my eyes have not
given me any trouble since.” This
sale is for sale by all dealers.
FINE PHOTO EXHIBIT OF
GOOD AND BAD ROADS
Those who are interested in the
much-needed up-building of our
county roads have been down to the
Dalton Buggy Company’s warerooms
in great numbers today to look at the
photographs on exhibit there. They
show some awfully bad roads before
and after working. Those who have
, not seen them should go at the very
first opportunity and look at them
and they will be convinced at once
of the importance of having the much
needed good roads fever break out
all over good old Whitfield. These
pictures will convince the least inter-
What is Best for Indigestion?
Mr. A. Robinson, of Drumquin.
I Ontario, has been troubled for years
with in«l mention and recommends
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets as “the best medicine I ever
used. If troubled with indigestion or
constipation give them a trial. They
are certain to prove beneficial. They
are easy to take and pleasant in ef
fect. Price 25c. Samples free at

MALCOLM C. TARVER.
The Gentleman From Dalton, Who Isn’t Quite 26 Years Old.
MR. TARVER OF WHITFIELD
IS THE BABY OF THE HOUSE
Behold Malcolm C. Tarver, the
baby of the Georgia legislature.
By a close margin of fifteen days
Mr. Tarver holds the record for youth
fulness in the present general assem
bly. He is 25 years of age and will
not be 26 until September 25, about
two months hence. If there is a
younger one than he the fact has been
kept so closely guarded that it has
escaped detection, says the Atlanta
Georgian.
Whereis he from? Why, from Dal
ton. representing Whitfield county in
the house of representatives.
The youthful Mr. Tarver is not on
probation like many members of the
house, especially the younger ones,
for he is a veteran legislator. He
has already served thru one assembly,
that of 1909-1910, and lie is now go
ing his second round. He was first
nominated by the people of Whit
field when he was only 22 years old.
Not content with being the young-

est house member and a second term
er too, Mr. Tarver wanted to be
speaker pro tern this time. He ran
for that office against Representative
Carl Vinson, himself not so old, but
Mr. Vinson got the plum.
Law and legislation or legislation
and law seem to go hand in hand.
Whether Mr. Tarver became a lawyer
to become a legislator or became a
legislator because he was a lawyer,
is an open question, but the fact is
that he is both. He began to prac
tice law in 1905, after graduating
from the law department of Mercer
university. Being a lawyer, he
thought it would be nice to have a
mother-in-law, so five years ago he
married. Now there is a little Tar
ver running around at home.
The gentleman from Whitfield, as
Speaker Holde ris wont to recognize
him. has been heard in debate sever
at times this session. He has made
a lot of the older ones sit up and
take notice for he sure can spqak.
