A SENSATIONAL HOMICIDE
At Bamberg, y. G., a baptist preachre
Kills n Young Man with ~ shotgun.

Charleston, s. c., May 4.-One Of the
most sensational homicides in the MS
tory of Bamberg, this state, occurred
Rev. w. T.. Johnson, pastor of the
Baptist church, shot and almost in
stantly killed w. T. Bellinger, stenog-
rapher of this judicial district
The trouble between the tow began
yesterday over the painting of a line
fence between the premises of John
r. Bellinger, father of the deceased,
and the Baptist parsonage, at which
time it is said hOt words were passed
and a pistol was raw by Bellinger.
This morning as young Bellinger
was returning from the pOStoffice to
his fathers residence Rev. Mr.. John
son, armed with a double barreled shot
gun accosted him in front of the Car
Isle school, a few words were passed,
a few shots were exchanged and young
Bellinger lay dying on h ground with
a smoking pistol in his right hand.
After h shooting occurred Rev.
Mr.. Johnson walked quietly into his
house, unhurt, n remained there
until about 1 o'clock when he went
down to the Jail, and surrendered to
Sheriff Hunter.
AS to how the affair started this
morning and as to who shot first there
in considerable diversity of opinion,
but it is generally claimed that Bellin-
ger shot first and that Rev. Mr.. John
son only shot once B%ellinger's pistol
had four empty chambers and he prob
ably hot four times, twice at least
after he had fallen mOrtally wounded.
Bellinger was struck in The right side
by twelve buck n eight small shot
which penetrated his lungs and liver
causing almost instant death.
The families connected. with the I'M
fortunate affair are two of the most
prominent and influential in the town.

MIR. DOOLY WRITES UP DEWEY.

Mr.. Dooley is something of a phil
the public taste, and one or two of his
books have had a big sale. Dooley is
the pen-name of a Chicago man. Dco-
ley is an Irishman with Irish wit and
fun. He has been considering Dewey,
and declares for him for everything
else, but not for the presidency.
"I'v coorse, 1 don't blame Cousin
George, I'm with him for anything
else in the gift iv tn people. firm a
lovin' cup to house an lot. He don't

For a column he amuses himself
with the aspiring admiral. The fun is
good all the way. At the conclusion he
shows what trouble will beset Dewey,
and it is very amusing. We give an
other sample of the way he kindly
pokes the sailor in the short ribs:

Under the fusion boosted election
law none but fusionists (and the most
bitter ones at that were on the cleo
ton board in this county. They were
the clerk OF the superior court. the
register of deeds and the chairman
of the county commissioners, all of
whom were intensely partisan fusion
lists, and had complete control OF the
election machinery in Chatham. They
are certainly estopped now from CON.

following their example!
And not only was n fusion cleo
ton board composed exclusively Of
fusionists, but every tax assessor and
list taker, appointed by the fusionists
in Chatham, vas a fusionist. So IA
tensely partisan are the fusionists in
Chatham that they would not appoint
a single, solitary democrat in all this
county either a tax assessor or list
taker, although the democrats pay
the great bulk of the taxes!"
The tricksters grabbed all. made a
clean sweep. And yet they have the
cheek" the impudence to charge
democrats with one-sidedness, unfair
ness, etc, in administration 1t is a
case of the kettle calling the pot black.

Messenger Bureau,

Raleigh. n. c., May L.
senator Pritchard and nine-tenths or
the republicans have an infinite con-
tempt for Governor Russell. They have
shown ii by a steady snub for two
years. They say Russell deliberately
jumped on the very class of men who
were in a position to do most for the
party The governors name is never
heard in a republican convention. The
governors friend. ]. C. L Harris, one
Of the few he has. said today when
asked If the governor cared for the
snab state convention gave him
Wednesday: Governor Russell has a
supreme contempt for that gang. II
the brains of the entire convention were
put together they would not equal the
governors" The governor is not in
line with the machine as to the
amendment. He declared six months
or more ago, as your correspondent re-
ported, that the constitutional amend
ment could not be defeated and that
n policy of the party in antagoniZ-
ing it was nothing less than suicide
The governor knows that the republi-
cans have not a chance in a thou
sand of carrying the state this year.
He knows all the talk at the republican
convention was buster. He knows
that Spencer B. Adams, who was final
ly persuaded by Senator Pritchard,
after hours of personal solicitation, to
be the nominee for governor, had TO
be promised some office TO recompense
him for his sacrifice. So the governor
and his party are at outs"
The news, first given out by your
correspondent, that a settlement of the
SO, 900, 900 railway and Western Union
Telegraph Company tax assessment
case was imminent, is almost fully
confirmed. The corporation commits
sion appears to be convinced that it is
almost in sight. When one of the at
torneyS of the Atlantic Coast Line was
asked why the railways were so slow
in having testimony taken he replied
that when they did move they would
do so with a rush. The fact is that
the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line have no unproductive roads
or branches. The Southern has some,
as the reports show. Some are oper-
ated at considerable loss. The Southern
has, therefore, a stronger case than
the others, from this point of view.
The recent consolidation of the Atlantic
Coast Line showed the great value of
the Wilmington and Weldon railway
stock. The management of that road
is simply superb and it is one of the
best properties in the country.

MEETING OF VIRGINIA DEMO-
A

The Virginia democrats met in con-
vention at Norfolk, and Endorsed a call
for a state convention, and Endorsed
the Chicago platform of 1896. A vigor-
Gus state platform was adopted. Car
ter Glass, editor of The Lynchburg
News, and a speker of gifts, was the
author of the resolutions and made all
impassioned, forceful speech in their
advocacy. The question of disfranchis-
ing the negro Overshadowed all 9TH
er topics In order to insure this elm
nation of the negro, the convention de
cided, after a fight in the committee
on resolutions, to make the proposed
sue, thus compelling all democrats to
vote for it. The following is the reso-
luton concerning suffrage:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that in framing a new
constitution no effort should be made
to disfranchise any citizen of Virginia
who had a right to vote prior to 1861.
nor the descendant of any such person.
and that when such constitution shall
have been framed it shall be submit
ted to a vote of the people for ratffica-
ton or rejection, and the democratic
party pledges that the expenses incl
dent to a constitutional convention
shall be kept down to the lowest posi-
BILE figures"
Governor Tyler, Senators Daniel and
Martin, and Representative William A.
Jones, Of Westmoreland county, were
chosen delegates at large. The election
will be held for a convention in sope
two or three months, we think. Vir-
ginia will settle the negro, suffrage
question before North Caroline will.

RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR SUM-
DAY.

Of Christ it is said in Johns Gospel:
THE same vas in the beginning with
God. All things were made by him.;
and without him was not any thing
made that was made"
Can the divinity of Jesus be possibly
made any stronger than that? Again,
We read:
1.-The Jews answered him, We have a
law, and by our law he ought to die,
because he made himself the son Of
God"
Jesus said: 81 and my Father are
one . : the Father is in me n 1
in him."
Think of a mere man saying that-a
Paul or Moses. You would think it
bIasphemous and false in the extreme.
st. Pau wrote:
"Fo in him dwelleth all the fulness
Of the Godhead bodily" That alone
would settle the divinity of the Saw

the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus
said, Il am" Again: THE great God
and our Saviour Jesus Christ" He
thai hath the Son hath life; and he that
hath not the Son of God hath not life"
Nohing in language could be possibly
more misleading and deceptive than the
Bible if Jesus Christ be not indeed Di-
vine. He is indeed the beginning and
the end, the alpha and omega, the all
and in all, the foundation of all Chris
tianity and Christian life and hope, and
n capstone as we'll. If He were not
verify the Son of God then He was the
greatest imposter this world has ever
known. The late greatly distinguished
and most useful of nineteenth century
preachers and evangelists. Dwight l..
Moody, told a London congregation
that if any man rose in a church to
proclaim that Jesus Christ was not di-
wine, the blessed % of God, to take
your hat and 20 out at once. He
was right. No man shall ever preach
to us who has not enough religion to
believe with all his soul in the Divinity
of the Eternal Son of God.

The author for the encouragement
and joy of the faithful in Christ Jesus
IN the 18th verse, of the 4th chapter of
Hebrews, expresses in a very striking
way the profound sympathy of Christ
I'm this wise: For we have not an
High Priest which cannot be touched
with a feeling of our infirmities; but
was in all points tempted as we are,
yet without sim" This is surely very
remarkable language. Although so eK-

vants-nay, His friends and brethren"
as He called them when on earth, that
still are detained here on the very earth
upon which He suffered so much of
humiliation and ignominy. Remember
who this great High Priest is. The au-
thor of Hebrews calls Him Jesus the
Son of God" He said of Himself many
times that he was the Son of God. And
yet great and all-wise and ~all-powerful
rs He is. He condescends to be also
the Son of man, horn a woman
Eternal Son! Look at the descriptive
wurdS. the suggestive words of the
verse a5th. He is so full of compassion
and sympathy, that it is stated He can
be "touched"-His great heart can be
deeply moved and thrilled as He be-
holds the sorrows and trials OF HIS
faithful disciples. He can be touched
with the feeling Of our infirmities." He
knoweih- how weak, how tempted, now
liable To sin, how open to miseries N
calamities and His great loving, sym
pathetic soul is deeply moved, Is SEN
sibIy touched" Then We are taught
that this great High Priest, now In
glory. has BASED through just such
sufferings and sorrows as are incident
10 His people, and His p 'ofound expe-
rImental knowledge enables Him to
consider their condition with deep
