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!
