Moultrie, Ca, March 6.-Judge w. A.
Covington has been in Atlanta this
week to appear before the Prison Com
mission to ask them to commute the
sentence of John Henry Bryant from
the death penalty to Imprisonment for
life.
Bryant was tried at the last term of
court for killing another negro, and
the jury after being out for several
hours returned verdict of guilty
without recommendation, and the
judge accordingly sentenced him to
hang. The jury, it is understood, was
about evenly divided, and only return
ed verdict after several hours de-
liberation. Considerable sympathy is
felt for the prisoner. 1t is the almost
unanimous desire of the people of this
county that his sentence be committed.
Bryant is not very bright negro.
He is very polite with his former en-
ployers, and has always been courte-
GUS to the white people. For this rea-
son and for the further reason that the
negro he killed was a transient gam
bier, it is expected that the Prison
Commission will commute his sentence.
Bryant, when placed on trial for his
life, was unable to employ a lawyer,
and the judge appointed him counsel
who have worked on his case without
compensation. However, the white
people took UP collection to defray the
actual expenses of Bryant's attorney

ADDRESS ON PHILIPPINES
Delivered by Judge James III. BIOunt
at Athens.

Delivered by Judge James III. BIount
mt Athens.
Athens. Ca. March 6.-Yesterday
morning the students of the University
of Georgia enjoyed masterful ad-
dress by Judge James H. Blount, Jr,
of the judiciary of the Philippine ISL
ands. Judge Blount is a son of ex-
Congressman James II. Blount. who
for twenty years was one OF the lead
ing Democratic members of the nation
al House of Representatives.
Judge Blount spoke on the subject of
THE Philippine Islands" An inter-
esting portion of it was the descrip-
ton of the Island of Mactan, noted
as the death place of fernando Ma
gellan, the great Spanish navigator,
who discovered the Philippines in 1921
and was in that year killed on this
little island. Illustrative of the rank
hello by this great navigator, second
only to Columbus, is one of the best
life-size marble statues ever seen by
Judge Blount which stands in the
great central stairway of the Ayun-
tamiente Palace at Manila.
Since returning to this country last
fall, on account of sickness, Judge
Blount has been often asked the fol-
lowing question: Don't you think the
United States would have been better
off if Admiral Dewey, after carrying
out the order to find the Spanish fleet
and destroy it, had weighed anchor
and sailed away from the Philippines 2"
To which he has replied: Il am not
wise enough to answer it, but he did
not do so, and out of his not doing So
the most Stupendous chapter of Ameri-
can history has been opened up. The
Orient is being connected with us by
n COL sarA Il 4 l.,
come factor in the Eastern question.
Whatever may be said about whether
Dewey should have stayed or left, this
much is beyond all question, that at
no time since then could we properly
do anything but just what we have
done. Certainly we could not get out
when the bad blood began to rise, and
Aguinaldo. with an army at his back,
was telling us to get out and take our
flag with us Then came what we
call out there the outbreak on Feb.
1, 1899, and even if we should have
gotten out when told to in order to
avoid a fight we could not very de-
Gently run after the lighting started.
So we have the Philippines and we
have the Monroe doctrine, and we cam
not, at this time, in honor, abandon
either"
Judge Blount gave a very graphic
description of the fighting done by
the American troops in several OF the
campaigns on Luzon and other islands.
He then told, in detail. OF the estab-
lishment OF the new government in
that country and OF the enforcement
OF law by the American officials. re-

CAN A HORSE TALKe
of Course He Can to Those lie
Knows and who Know Him.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Those who have no special fondness
for domestic animals, and especially
course, ridicule the position taken by
Veterinary Surgeon Roberge as a wit
ness before a New York court last
Wednesday. a@
DR.. Roberge. when questioned as to
the treatment of sick horses, declared:
"a horse must be thoroughly under
stood by one who attempts to treat
it, You must know it well. talk with
it, and understand it's language"
DO you mean to say" inquired the
astonished attorney, that a horse can
talk?'' why, certainly he can, in his
way, replied the veterinary surgeon.
'If a horse knows you are going to
treat him he will hold out his leg or
his foot, if the trouble lies there. Once
he thinks you can do him good, he'll
soon take means to let you know what
his ailment is. If possible
and does he talk to every one like
that?" asked the attorney. "Oh, no."
replied the veterinary, 'only to those
he knows. and who know him"
Dr. Roberge could have gone much
further than this without overstepping
the bounds of truth. Horsese do talk
TO those in whom they have confidence,
as plainly as ii they had the human
gift of language, and what they say
is as ineligible to those who under
stand them as if they spoke with
their ears, noses, and feet. Every
body who loves the horse, and who
has much TO do with the horse. knows
that the animal can understand what
is said to him and done for him by
one in whom he has confidence.
Incidents illustrative of this fact are
numerous, and sometimes so extraod-
binary as to tax the credulity of the
ordinary man, bat they are neverthe-
less based upon the COMMON experience

TATTNALL's MULE MARKET

Tattnall Journal: There is but little
doubt of the fact that Tattnall is one
OF the best retail mule markets in the
state. During the present season our
mule dealers have sold more than 900
head OF mules. The average price is
about $175 the people of Tattnall not
being satisfied with inferior stock. It
is safe to say that during the past few
months more than $1,000 worth of
mules have been sold in Tattnall. These
mules were sold mostly to the farmers.

nall, but in a number of instances sales
were made to parties living in Mont
gomery, Bulloch. Liberty and Emanuel
counties. 1t is probable that never. be-
fore were such heavy mules sold for
farming purposes in Tattnall county as
during the present season. Most of
the mules sold this year have weighed
from 1000 pounds up In a number of
instances mules have been sold weigh
ing 1,500 pounds each Every year
Tattnall improves as mule market.
This comes about by the fact that no
county in the state is developing faster
than our county. There is a demand
each year. of course, for stock. but
this demand is for stock to be used
on new and enlarged farms.

afforded a great deal of useful infor-
nation on a subject of rare interest.
Referring to the American school,
teachers and the constabulary force,
Judge Blount took occasion to pay
tribute to these two important fac
tors in provincial life. He gave de-
scription of the various courts on the
islands, and spoke of the fact that the
Supreme Court is presided over by a
Filipino, Don Cayetano Arellano, as
chief justice, whom he declared to be
head and shoulders above any other
living Filipino a very learned man, as
widely read, as thoroughly informed
and as scholarly a lawyer as the dis
tinguished chancellor of the univer-
sity, Hon. Walter B. Hill.
Judge Blount addressed the current
topic section of the Athens Woman
Club yesterday afternoon, and to-day
returned to the home of his parents
at Macon. He will shortly go to San
Francisco, and from there will sail
for the Philippines to resume his judi
cial duties.
