Caodler because he was once a oil
j„ D of Griffin* Tbs strength of
tbi , claim depends largely upon
the character ot hie citizenship
,„d how much value it was to the
community- There has been aev
eral citizens who have left Griffin
for whom this claim would not
amount, to much.
“Without disparging Co'. Can
dler as a teacher or a man. there
are many people who insist upon
gauging a man’s character and val
ue ly the manner in which he
treats his just debts. And
now that Col. Candler has brought
up the subject leaks in the collect
ion and distribution of the public
monejs.his own record in this re
sped becomes a matter of public
interest and legitimate comment.
“On the tax books of the city ot
Griffin stands the following stub
and unclaimed receipt:
A, D.'CANDLER.
$5.90 C*ty Ta *. |B ’°-
Received Payment ISW.
Clerk and Treasurer.
| “Across the above stub in red
ink are written the words. ‘Fi, fa

“On the execution docket stands
the following er.fry.
No. 49. Mayor and Council
vs,
A D. Candler.
■‘Opposite this entry on the op
posite page is a blank space left to
enter the disposition made of the
case. Upon this no jentry was
ever made, showing that the case
was never settled and the tax was
not collected.
“Now, the amount of this tax
is not so great that it could net
have been paid oy any man re*,
ceiving at that time. It will be
noticed that for some reason,
whether a clerical error or a piece !
of lav iritism ou a Dart of the
clerk and treasurer, the amount
is reduced in afi fa. from $5 90
to s.> 90—and still it was not paid.
But even it he had been unable to
pay it then, he bus since been in
th« possession of a good fortune
so that he could have easily per
mitted it. Possibly it escaped
his mercery or was not called to
hi* attention, but other debts that
he contracted in Griffin then were
calltd to his attention when he was
f the height of his fortune and
repudiated.

l ' , '’“”l»ble that one who
lisso vulnerable should be so active
in looking up and trying to find
~eak points in others. Ihe party
who has manufactured the facts
against Co'. Candler has proven
rdmcelf a very poor leader and
adviser, as many, to their sorrow,
cun attest, and even the unpro
tected orphans ha ve not been al
lowed to escape his influence and
j have woefully suffered by his mis
deeds. Pluck the b>am out of your

“Colonel Candler was a very
poor man in 1870, as were most
other old confederates who had
bared their breasts to the enemy’s
bu’lM; he returned from the
war having lost all save honor,
with scars cn his body and one eye
shot out. He and Mr. Looney
taucht a school here that proved
to be too small for the support of
both so he very generously turned
the school over to Mr Looney and
in August, 1870, sought a livelG
hood elsewhere. In October after
his departure c fi. fa, was issued
against him (together with many
other honorable men who were
suffering from the sin of a lack of
money.) which fi . fa. has been
taken up and satisfied. If he h: •
not paid his taxes produce the fi.
fa.in proof thereof!
• “Did the party who has been
nosing around trying to smell an
offensive act on the part of Col
onel Candler see the number of fi.
fas. for large amounts issued
against pioperty holders during
the same year? These fi. fas. are
still in exis'ence and have never
been levied, though there was
property in sight to satisfy them,
showing gross neglegence on the
part of the officers. The large tax
payers were let off, but Colonel
Candler paid taxes on his little
earthly possessions, and they weie
migh’y few.
