CANDLER AND DOW
I) Candler, and it is probable
Colonel Candler’s mention of
this fact at some time led to the
false publications which have
served in the end to bring out
so many facts of real historic
interest. Those who know the
colonel do not need to be told
that lie never attempted to tar
nish his own brilliant military
record by trying to borrow bril
liancy from a fellow soldier, and
Col. MacKowen will be glad to
learn, when he sees this that
Colonel Candler not only honors
him for the bravery he display
ed in his heroic expedition, but
that he never by nor deed ever
made the slightest attempt to
rob him of one iota of the glory
he honestly won on that occa
sion. The MacKowens of Louis
iana and the Candlers of Geor
ia are not that sort of people.
But the irresponsible person
who first put tho fake story in
circulation has done a real service,
In that he has given an excuse
for the teliing of an interesting
war story at this time. Col. Can
dler denied himself to his callers
at the capitol yesterday lung
enough to read Colonel M-acKow
en’s article, and when he finiehed
it he laid the paper into one of
the drawers of his desk for safe
keeping,
“That is a mast interes'ii g
account,” he sa'd, “I don’t mind
having been tne innocent excuse
for Colone 1 MacKowen’s writing
it. I do not know him personally,
but I am going tc take advantage
cf the first opportunity! have ot
writing to him and saying that
the fashion of printing evil things
about me seems to have overspead
the bounds of Georgia and reached
into Lousiana. i never said a
ward of the interview’ attributed
to me, but I am waiting every day
to see if the papers won’t connect
me some way with blowing up the
Maine. Since I have been a can
didate for governor I have begun
to believe that any man can gel
a conspicieus place on lhe wrong
side in history if he will only
have the courage to run for office.
'The colonel was asked what his
real experience had been in the
J) >w emsode and he replied:
“As a captain ot infantry I was
provost guard in Jackson in Jure
1868 and as such 1 received as
prisoners General Dow and a
number of federal so diers My
headquarters were in a big biick
building on State street and 1
used the entire second floor of it
as a prison. I placed General Dow
under parole, and my recollection
of him is that he was particular
ly genial old gentleman. We used
to read the papers together, when
we could get them, and 1 treated
him with as much consideration
as I thought a man of his rank
deserved, Once or twice he break
fasted with me nt my boardinig
house.
“When Jackson tell into the
hands of the enemy, Captain
Mitchell, of Georgia, took Gener
al Dow under parole to the Libbj
prison at Ricnmond. They travel
ed, I remember, in a passenger
coach, and 1 followed in an ordi
nary car with the other prisoners,
of whom I had charge. 1 did not
know until I read C donel Mac-
Kowen’s article that General Dow
had been swapped for General
Fitzhugh Lee, but I am r glad to
learn that fact now, for with alt
due respect to General Dow, 1
think the south got the best of th
bargain. Some of these days 1 hup'
to meet Colonel MacKowen per
sonally, but in the memtime I
want to advise him that I am a
candidate for governor, and that
he must be chary about accepting
all the things ho sees about me in
print.
Which is about as true of Col
onel MacKnowen as it is every
body’ else who reads the news
papers. R. B. C.
See W. H. Coker & Co. for
mackintoshes, umbrellars, rub
ber boots and over shoes.
A RYRD'S EYE VIEW,
I than words, along with 99 out
of every 100 Romans, I figured
that the “innocent of guile”
was one of the half-dozen At
kinson men in Romo. None of
us ever dreamed that he was a
Candler man in disguise.
* *
«
As to the insinuation that
Gove: nor Allen I). Candler will
appoint Max Meyerhardt, city
court judge—the rumor must
have originated with Hon. Sam
Peajay Buncomb. Allen I). Can
dler has made no pledges—he
certainly would not be fool
enough to make a confidant of
of Max Meyerhardt—after re
cent events. Meyerhardt is too
unsophisticated to bo trusted,
he is neither as wise as a serpent
nor as harmless as a dove.
* *
*
But, after all, it was a smooth
play on the part of Max Meyer
hardt, to desert a sinking craft,
and at the same time fix Col.
Candler so that he cannot ad
minister the withering rebuke
the betrayal of the letter merited
which rebuke was supposed to
be scheduled for Col. Candler’s
opening speech in Rome.
*
* *
The double play woul 1 be a
daisv—were it not so transpa
rent .
* *
*
But this is not the only dou
ble play nor is it the only trans
parent.
* *
*
The morning paper adminis
ters a deserved rebuke to the
star actor in the letter-betrayal
“tragedy,” at the same time
seeks to injure Col. Candler in
Rome by insinuating, by pub
lishing “a rumor” that Col.
Candler had promised the city
court judgeship to the unsophis
ticated star actor .n said “trag
edy.”
* *
*
1 know that Col. Candler did
not buy, He is not built that
way. Then it looks as if Judge
Meyerhardt had discovered that
his “innocence of guile” had
been ‘ravished” and he deserted
—leaving said “ravishers” to
account for the betrayal of let
ter, Atlanta date line and all.
*
* *
And then, too, the statements
made by the morning paper now
throws a funny light on that
former statement about the let
ter having been published
“purely as a piece of news,” etc.
* *
*
On with the dance, swing and
change!
