The Quarantine Line.

We have heretofore called attention Of
the people of South Carolina and that
part Of Georgia not included by 1uaran-
tine limo by statutes of the State of
Georgia and the National Government.
Under the laws Of Georgia it is a misdc-
mcanor for any person to drive cattle
into Rabun county except during the
months Of November, December, Janu-
AIRY and February and during these
months parties driving cattle out of the
county must return them into the coun-
ty not later than two weeks and no one
owning cattle below the line is allowed
to drive them above the line at any time
of the year. The fine imposed by the
Federal Government is severe on those
convicted Of crossing the national quar-
antnc line which runs through the
county, beginning at the Southwest cor
ncr of the county at the mouth of Wild
Cat Greek, thence caStcrly to CLASSY and
Tiger Mountains with Stcc0a Greek,
Scrcamer, Rainy, Pinnacle, lIogback,
Raven Knob and Rock Mountain from
thence NorthcaStcrly to the State line
between North Carolina and Georgia on
the Rabm Ball. The penalty imposed is
a fine Of five hundred dollars and one
year Imprisonment, no more nor no less.
The quarantine line established by the
Bureau Of Animal Industry at Washing
ton runs across the entire continent, and
South Of this limo it is claimed the cattle
are infected with splcnctic fever and cat
tie tick and stock arc not allowed to cross
this line under above national penalty.

KILLED BY A CLERGYMAN.
Rev. W. E. Johnson, OF Bambcrg, Shoots Court
Stcnographcr, Mr.. W. T. BeIlinger.

BAMEERG, May 1.-Onc Of the most
sensational homicidcs in the history of
Bamhcrg occurred here this morning at
10 o'clock, when the Rev. w. T.. johnson,
pastor Of the Baptist Church, shot and
almost instantly killed w. II. Bellingcr,
stcnographcr of this judicial district
Trouble between the two began ycstcr-
day over the painting of a line fence be-
tween the premises of John K. Bciiing0r,
father of the deceased, and tho Baptist
parsonage, at which time, it is said, hot
words were passed and Il pistol was
drawn by Bcllingcr.
This morning as young bcllingcr was
returning from the postonco to his
fathers residence, the Rev. Mr.. johnson,
armed with a double -barrcllcd shotgun,
accostcd him in front of the Carlisle Fit
ting School; few words were passed, Il
few shots were exchanged, and young
Bcllingcr lay dying on the ground with
n smoking pistol in his right hand and
Il copy Of the News and Courier in his
left.
After the shooting occurred the Rev.
Mr.. Johnson walked quietly into his
house unhurt, and remained there until
about o'clock, when he went down to
the Jail and surrendered to Shcrim Hun
ter.
AS to how the affair started this morn
ing and rs to who shot first there is con-
siderable diversity of opinion, but it is
generally claimed that Bclingcr shot
first and that the Rev. Mr.. johnson only
shot once.
Bcllingcr's pistol had four empty cham
bcrs, and he probably shot four times,
twice at least after he had fallen mOrtally
wounded. Bcllingcr was struck in the
right side by twelve buck and eight small
shot, which penetrated his lungs and
liver causing almost instant death.
The families connected with tho unfor-
tnnate affair are two of the most prom-
ncnt and influential in the town, and this
causes it to be regretted all tho moro.
Acting Coroner Ray has cmpanclcd a
jury Of inquest, which is now in session,
and it is prahablc that Il verdict will be
found in accordance with the facts above
stated.
