FEAU3 AND ThEFI
Charged Against Filipino Ma9isiraes-Hegu-
la.ions Entirely Ignored.

Manila. Saturday. Oct. 8. via Hong
Kong. Oct 1.-THE administration of Ma
nilas civil courts by Filipino magis-
trates, which has long been scandalOus
is now attracting public attention more
than ever ana has been brought 10 the
/ Taft commissions attention with re
quests for rectiiiCdtiOn. The courts are
composed Of four justices Of the peace
and four primary courts. The magistrates
are al Fflipinos and developments have
proven that the incumbents are utter
failures as administrators of justice.
Charges have been filed ana evidence is
in the hands of the authorities. which. ii
is claimed, will show that the magistrates
have been guilty OF the groSseSt Corrup-
iStrate was recently suspended on SuS-
picion Of criminal abuse Of power and at
tempt to defraud. The monthly collec-
tion Of fines Of the four native justices is
estimated at 5000. The amount collected
by the primary courts for the same period
is much greater. The magistrates per-
SistcntIy ignore the regulations eStab-
lished by the authorities for the super
vision OF commitments and the account
ability of moneys. They deposit less than
500 monthly monthly and are alleged to
| appropriate the balance to their coilec-
/ lions.
| 1t is further claimed that the magis-
! trates are in collision with the native po-
! lice in compromising offences on the basis
Of cash for freedom. and that in many
instances magistrates who committed
men to Jail over year ago are now lib
Grating them WITHOUT trldl, the eNpItHd-
ton being the effectiveness of a habeas
crpus and the desiSnat ton of a special
officer to investigate the cases, resulting
in the freedom OF many persons illegally
+ committed as prisoners.
Serious charges Of favortisn have lately
been made against the civil branch OF
Manila's supreme court.
The members Of the Taft commission
are disguised with the condition of the
| courts and intend to substitute honest
Americans from the United States for the
native magistrates.

DISTINGUISHED NEGRO
 LEADER IN THE CITY
Bishop Gaines Win Preach at St. Johns A. M. E. Church Today Something
 of the Man

Bishop W. J. Gaines, the we'll known bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is in the city, and will preach to- day at Il a. m. and D. m. at St. John s African Methodist Episcopal church. At 2:3O p. m. he will preach at Payne's Chapel. On Monday night he will speak on the race question at St. Johns church.
 Bishop Gaines is one of the most dis tinguished leaders of the negro race, and has always been given a respectful hear ing by the people of the South on the race question. He has always been an advo- cate of safe and conservative measures, and in his recently published book, 'The Negro and the White Man. he enters into an exhaustive discussion of the negro question. He maintains that the negro is not a menace to the South, but is the white mans safest ally in all questions of com merciai advancement and good govern ment. He is a constant laborer in the cause of the advancement of his race, and is uni- versally beloved by his people.
 The bishop has also been a great worker in the educational uprifting of his race. He is the founder of Morris Brown College, of Atlanta He has already instituted plans to erect the main building of Payne Institute Selma. His episcopal district embraces Alabama and South Carolina.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Scarcity of Grapes But Other Fruits in
 Good Supply


 Saturday is usually a busy day in Morris avenue, and yesterday was no exception Large quantities of produce were disposed of at good prices. The quotations on but ter, eggs and chickens are without change
 There is a dearth of homegrown vege- tables, and the demand for potatoes, cab bage and onions from other sections is consequently lively. Cabbage comes by the car load from Virginia, Missouri and Mich igan, and sweet potatoes come from Gull man.
 There was great scarcity of grapes yesterday, and Concords were marked up from 65c to 75c Other fruits were in good supply. Giocoppazzi x Co., will receive two car loads of watermelons from Indiana this evening of unusually fine quality. They will run 30 to s pounds to the melon and will bring 221a to 25c apiece.
 The trucking industry in Jefferson coun- ty has grown very considerably in recent years, but it is surprising that it does not grow even faster, when the demand for everything produced from the soil Is coss- stantiy on the increase here. Birmingham is splendid market, and truck acreage is still offered for sale at moderate p.ices. A large tonnage of vegetables is brought to Birmingham from other sections of the country that might be raised profitably in Jefferson county.

SATISFACTORY ID
 ALL INTERESTS
Department of Meat and Milk Inspection Now Thor
 oughly Organized.

The meat and milk inspection system now isfactory to consumers and to dairymen and dealers w. B. Fleming, the chief in spector, has three assistants and the force is kept quite busy.
 The monthly reports of this department are always interesting to the general pub lie. The average number of animals of fered for slaughter in the city is about 1000, and about 1 per cent are rejected as unfit for human food. Besides these Bir- mingham receives about 60 carloads of meat per month from the West all of which is rigidly inspected. It is comforting 10 consumers of milk and meat to know that every particle purchased by them un- dergoes most thorough inspection, and is therefore wholesome.
 The people of Birmingham are especially indebted to Alderman c. T. Rainbow for the establishment of this departmntmnt of city government As chairman of the mar ket committee under the present and pre- ceding administrations MT. Rainbow la bored earnestly, long and patiently upon this bill, giving much personal attention thereto and visiting other cities where the system was in vogue, thus acquainting himself fully win the requirements and details of the work, until now he has perfect system established here. No de- pertinent of the city is of greater import ance to the people, and none receives more attention at the hands of a committee than does this department of food inspection.

COFFEE AND HEART DISEASE
Slowly and Surely Affects the Hearts
 Action

Action
 My heart seemed to be jumping out of my body one morning after I had used some coffee, clear, without cream or sugar, for I had been told that coffee would not hurt me if used that way. We were all greatly frightened at the serious con- dition of my heart until remembered that it might be from the coffee.
 ''So when the trouble passed off,. con- cluded never to use coffee again. It had hurt me greatly, used in the ordinary way with cream and sugar, but I had hoped that 1t would be less harmful without the cream and sugar, but the result was no better.
 Since that time we have been using Postum Cereal Food Coffee and my heart has never troubled me at all. We are all delighted with the Postum because we know how to make it and know how val uable it is as a health beverage
 Tn speaking to friend lately about Postum Cereal she said she did not like it. I found the reason was that it had not been made properly After told her to take four heaping teaspoons of Postum to the pint of water and let 1t boil full fif- teen minutes after the real boiling started, she was greatly delighted with 1t and has been using it since and has been very, much better in health Yonrs truly" Mrs. r. s.
