Judge Benet and the Negroes.

During the course of the sessions
of court at Beaufort recently, Judge
Benot called attention to negroes
and whites sitting together on the
courtroom benches. IIe directed
that they be separated and one, side
be allotted to whites and the other
side to negroes in attendance. This
order was thereupon obeyed and will
be regarded in future. God AL
mighty never intended, ho said, that
the two races should be mixed, and
the suggestion is being carried out
from that standpoint at least. Some
of the colored lawyers sitting in
court during the Judges remarks
wanted to know if the order applied
to them, and if they would bo re-
quired to occupy a different side of
the court room within the bar, and
the Judge said his remarks were not
intended for them, and they continue
to occupy their positions within the

raised about 12O,O0O,OoO bushels Of
corn more than last year, worth at
the price prevailing in chat section at
least $5C,o0O,0O0 moro than the 1897
crop. The most important factor,
however, even from the farmers
standpoint, is the steady increase in
industrial and railroad interest, as
the increase in employment in fac.
tories and on railroads enlargcs the
demand for diversified agricultural
products and gives profitable work
to thousands of people. There is a
very marked improvement in tic
industrial situation, and everything
tends to strengthen the South'a

Jerusalem, though large part goes
direct to England and sells in COM
petition with the English and Scotch
iron. At present the demand is in
excess of the output, and furnaces
are refusing TO accept orders for
future delivery. The building of two
immense steel plants is now making
good progress at Birmingham. Each
plant will cost about $1,000,000, one
