There Is no doubt that the State
building which Is to be erected on the
grounds at the South Carolina Inter
State and West Indian Exposition and
which is designed to show tho re-
sources OF each county OF tho State will
contain much that will prove revela-
tion to the outside world. The grow
ing OF wheat and the making Of flour
are industries which have attained
larger proportions In South Carolina
than Is generally known. Few realize
tho Importance OF the experiments re-
Gently made in this State in the grow

MANILA, Saturday, Oct. 6, via Hong
Song, Oct. 1.-THE administration of
Manila's civil court by Filipino magis-
trates, which has long been scandalous.
Is now attracting public attention more
tnan ever, and has been brought to the
notice of the Taft commission with the
request for rectifcation The courts are
presided over by four justices of the peace
and four primary courts TIE magistra tes
are all Filipinos and developments have
proved that the ineumbents are utter fail
ures as administrators of justice The
dlssatsfa elton with and complaints
against the existing courts are amending.
Natives and foreigners dread litigation.
Knowing the facts IN the case Charges
have been filed, and evidence Is in the
hands of the authorities, which, it is
claimed, will show that the magistrates
have been guilty of the grossest corrup-
ton and malfeasance in office. One mag
fstrate was recently suspended on suspt-
c1on Of criminal abuse of power and at
tempt to defraud. The monthly collection
of fines of the four native justices is es-
timated at $1,000. The amount collected
by the primary courts for the same period
is about the same amount The eight
magistrates persistently ignore the regu-
lations established by the authorities for
the supervision of commitments and the
accountability of moneys. They deposit
less than 500 monthly, and are alleged
to appropriate the balance of their collec-
tons

America to use their efforts and money
in behalf OF the young Emperor.
