In another column wo publish au ar ticle from the Clayton ((?a.) Tribune, de scribing tho cattle quarantine line. Wo do so in oidor to call the attention nf our people to the provisions of this law. lt is something new, but still is meeting with a strict, onfor. emmit hy the citizens along thc linc, as veil as tho Federal officers in Georgia. Wo chanced to be in Clayton recently when tho Kahlin County Stoe'r Association was in ses sion. Tho quarantine lino divides the county very nearly in tho center, and cattle from any place North of tho line can he shipped to tho K?steln markets where they command helter juices, while ca'tlc from tho South cannot. An ellio t is being made by the cattle men of Kainui to have tho line extended still father South, so as to put the most of their county in Ibo health district. Kui wherever tho lino may he fixed, it be comes an offense for any person from the South to drive a cow across the quarantine line, and thc penalty is quite severe. THL WAf?ENEH MONUMENT AND WAL HALLA'S SEMI CENTENNIAL. 11 is now only a little over three mont hs until August Kith and 171li, the dates fixed for the celebration of Valhalla's somi-cou!outdid and thc unveiling of the monument proposed to be erected to thc memory of Cen. .lohn A. Wagoner, tho recognized founder of thc town. The carrying out of this enterprise with the success that should al tend one of such importance will involve certain necessary expenses, which have been conserva tively estimated at approximately $1,500. The subscriptions t>> dale amount to $1155, and thc commiticc aro still solicit ing subscript ions. On last Saturday Thc (?orman l ue Company Benevolent Society, of charles ton, s. C., sent Mr. .las. Thompson, Treasurer, a check for i-?n as a contribu tion to this fund. Cen. Wagoner was instrumental in thc organization of that Booioty, and its members, still revering his memory, send this sum as a token of their appreciation of the etforts being made by the citizens ol' Walhalla K> per petuate Ids virtues. The liberal contri bution is highly prized, not alone for its money value, but for the spirit which inspires tho gift, lt demonstrates that many who live in distant cities have an abiding interest in tho town and cherish the memory of its benevolent founder, ll remains for the people of Walhalla, and in a largo measure for tho liboral mindeel citizens of the entire COUIlty, to rally to Ibo help of tho committee by contributing to tho fund. Walhalla be ing the county seal, any work of art placed on one of ber public streets be comes, in a peculiar sense, the property of every citizen of Ibo county, ll is dedicated to the public, and will surely contribute to the a sthetic culture of tho whole people. Hence, it. is in older for tho public-spirited ami liberal-minded citizens of our sister towns, and, indeed, throughout the whole county, to mani fest a keen interest, and contribute to the material advancement of the enter luise. lt is not experted, ol' course, that outsiders should give as much as residents of Walhalla, or those who do business here, but something can ami should be done by every progressiva citizen in the county. As thc limo is growing sholl tho funds should bc raised a< once. Kel tho reader make np his mind what he can ulive, and as soon as ho has finished reading these lines write to Mr. .las. Thompson, Treasurer, Wal halla, and enclose a cheek for some amount. Subscript ions in any amounts arc now received, and we hope, in thc next few days, to learn of thc requisite amount being in sight.

Trouble between tho two began yester day over the painting of a line fence be tween tho premises of John lt, Bellinger, father ot the deceased, ami tho Baptist parsonage, al wllioll time, it is said, bot words were passed and a pistol was drawn by Bellinger. This morning, as young bollinger was returning from thc postoftico to his father's residence, the Kev. Mr. Johnson, armed with a double-barrelled shotgun, accosted him in front of the Carlisle Kit ting School; a few words were passed, a few shots were exchanged, and young Kellinger lay dying on the ground witil a smoking pistol in his right hand and a copy of the Nows and Courier in his left.
