a außAcmunc attack-
Tbe Gr-ffio Duly Newt charged
ifoatCoL Candler bad failed to pay
hie city tazan lor ICTO la'rtply »•
which Mr. Grantland published the
‘ following card:

driven caoeee them to reeort to all

aiarepreeeotationa in the effort to in
jure bin. at evidenced la an article io
the News of tbe Ittb inet, in which ie
printed in flaring bead lidm the
etalemeat that Col Candler bad not
paid hie taxes to tbe city of Griffin for
the year 1870.
The statement is false. for no un
paid fl fa can be shown, nor is one in
existence, hence tbo conclusion ie nat
ural that there ia no claim against
him. ♦
It ie remarkable that one who ie so
vulnerable should bo so active io look*
iog up end trying to Had weak points
io others. Too party who has menu*
lectured tbe facts agaiot Col. Candler
baa proven himself a very poor leader
and adviser, so many to their sorrow
can attest, and even the unprotected
orphans have not been allowed to ea*
capo hie influence and have woefully
suffered by bis misdeeds. Pluck the
beam out of your own eye so that you
can tbe better see tbe mote in your
Col. Candler was a vary poor man |
io 1870. as were most other old Coo*
federates who bad bared their breasts
to tbe enemy’s bullets; be returned
from the war having lost all save boo*
or, with scars on hie body and one eyo
shot out He and Mr. Looney
a school bore that year that proved to
bo too email for tbe support of both,
so be very generously turned tbe
school over to Mr. Looney and io Au
gHt ieiv, sought a livelihood else*
where. Io October after hie depar
ture afl fa was issued against him,
(together with many other honorable
men who were coffering from the sin
of rfeck of money), which fl fa baa
been taken up and satisfied. If ho
baa not paid bis taxes produce tbe fi fa
ia proof thereof!
Did tbe party who baa been noeeiog
around trying to smell an offensive
act on tbe part of Col. Candler see tbe
number ol fi fas for large amounts is
sued against largo property holders
during tbe same yeerf These fi fas
are still in existence and have never
been levied though there was proper
ty in sight to satisfy them, showing
grow neclegence on tbo part ol tbo
officers. Tbe large tax-payers were
let off, bat Col. Candler paid taxes on
bis little earthly possessions and they
were mighty few.

Commenting on this the Atlanta
Constitution published tbe following
editorial:
In Tbe Griffin News, of Thursday,
May Ifltb, appears a local article at
tacking tbe honor and integrity of
Has. Allen D. Candler, which will bo
resented by every Georgian wbo feels
an interest in tbe history of bis state,
and whose amoriatione give him a
sympathy with tbe terrible struggle of
four years, fought against adversity
for tbo rehabilitation of tbeir fortunes.
The article referred to goes on to
state that in 1870 Mr. Candler left tbe
connty of Spalding with an unpaid
tax fl. fa. amounting to 83.40 behind
him, and this so jumped upon as an
excuse upon which to attack tbo citi
r xenahip and tbe character ol the man
wbo is now being supported all over
Georgia for the governorship To
this attack there has been printed a
| full and clinching answer from Hon.
Seaton Grantland, in which tbe aecw* I

I f fine Be -A J| fcgttipld bB
| tbe affair irsuffieient to etamp it aa
onwotby tbo atteatioo of honorable
I men What were tbe circumstances
I coder which thio failure to pay taxee
I occurred? Bat five years before, tbe
ground lying between Atlanta and!
Griffin was red with tbe blood of men I
wbo bad fallen to defend tbe southern
eanse Owe of these men wbo bad
struggled in that terrible reairtanco to
egg rem too Was Allen D Candler. I
Btolboruly bo upheld the flag around
which tbe hopes and the sympathise
and the love jl Georgia were gathered.
He fell, a woended victim to hie fidel
ity. and within gunshot of tbo resi
dence be occupied io tbe city of Grif
fii He bad fallen <fe»a. ratrty wowud
ed. suffering tbo fees of as eye, and
thus proving his oncobip and bio kin
drrd with tbe people of old Georgia.
Io the terrible devastation -which re
sulted from the impoverialrmeuL of
southern hopes—the blasting of sooth
era fortunes; the impoverishment of
a penpl- wbo bed never known a mo
ment ol servility—there Ldtoard a
period io which it triad wwnfeaonfeto
rehabilitate tbeir state and the com
munities io which they lived.
From Atlanta to Jonesboro, Jonere
boro to Griffin and Macon
oo to Savannah, there was one long,
wide trail ol ashes which marked tbe
march of Sherman to the sea. If the
editor of Tbe Griffin New?, wbo
stands so ready to attack one of those
men wbo suffered tn that terrible dis
aster, bad been living io this com
munity at that time, he might be
able to understand tbe situation ol
1 S7O, and to appreciate tbe labors and
tbe trials ol tbe defeated soldiers wbo,
in leaching school, in plowing tbeir
fields, or io other kinds of occupation,
sought to repair their fortuoss. Il
was a period of disaster when strong
men might have wept and quailed io
tbo face of adversity. But the men of
tbe south—such men as Colonel Cand
ler—were not made in the mold which
endures defeat They went to work,
determined to place tbeir state once
more in the front. In 1870 these peo
ple were io tbe midst of tbeir travail.
Rich and poor, high and low, there
was a common level now, and there
, was but one mark ol distinction ia so
ciety, and that wee fidelity to the
, memory of (be men whose bodies lay
entombed from Atlanta to Savannah 1
It ie true that many of these men
were uneb’e Io pey thru taxes; that
many of them were unable to pay
thyir debts; but it is also, true that
they worked with tbe zeal of honest
men, aodthit what they were not
able to pay at once they did in time;
and it Hee not io the mouth of Mr.
Gleeeoer, wbo was then living in Ohio,
to ebaige fraud or diaben sty upon
an honorable confederate veteran who
was doing his doty to hie country and
bis family.
It matters not bow tbe record may
stand on tbo books of tbe cennty of
flpaldhtg. A disclosure of these
books lor the year 1970 will show that,
if Cotone! Candler did stand in ar
rears of less than 84 that year, ba
stands there with tbe bravest and best
of the community. He was immerred
io tbe common fata wbieb befell Geor
gia ;bo worked bis way out of gloom
elbow to elbow with tbe men who had
bared tbeir breasts to tbe bullets of
Georgia's enemies; and no man wbo
was a Stranger to our feelings or indif
ferent to our fort ones at that time Mu
eome forward now and bedaub tbo
honor of a man wbo fell under tbe
ebower of Sherman’s bullets.
