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.

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. . h the same laws were in force « . that are in force now. of <■ and ' er Nver was a citizen griffin, sincev. could hf)t k . eg / VU,e Wlthoul paying his ttf«- niE crushing answer.

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. “8. Grantland.” I\IEW~ BOOK STORE. Books, Stationery, Base Ball Goods.
