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. 8. Gkaxtuxd. 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 I wßwVs* J 1 • W U W ■ But Tbe Coastitutiow does not carol to treat wit# tbe truth or tbe falsity 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. • VU hi- Unto /“•« it sa < «w» A FEAST IS CUBA tbe Jackal has enjoyed for the past three yearn, but tbe eagle will drive him Iran bis prey.
