lHE OuARENDON DISTURBAHCE-LEMO
NOT KILLED BY THE KU K1Ux.-Since
Sunday morning last, excited and exoit-
ing rumors have prevailed in our midst,
concerning the disturbance in the ad-
joining County of Clarendon, producing
more or less agitation Of the public
mind. On Wednesday afternoon last,
Peter Lemon, black man, and County
Commissioner of Clarendon, was assas.
sinated in his buggy, on the public road,
about two and half miles from Man
ming. The assassination took place OF
or near branch or swamp thicket.
Buck-shot entered the legs, stomach,
breast and head of the unfortunate mau,
which, it is believed, produced instant
death. Nothing satisfactory has come
to light in regard to the assassins, but
neither the whites or negroes believe
that any such order as the Ku Klux had
anything to do with it. Lemon was n
turbulent and offensive negro-notori.
ously so-and had been once or twice
shot at-once by colored man, whose
sister, it is alleged. he ihnd' Iavished.
Aud some of these parties. (probably
white and colored,) moved entirely by
feelings Of personal revenge. are believed
to have taken his life. Lemon was re-
VuAuth6 AAonA 'uAohulhSS. WACIt3 IL 1S re-
ported, he had made some disturbance
and had some difficulty, on the day OF
his death. He is said to have been in q
state of intoxication, and to have been
driven back into Manning once or twice,
before finally taking his leave.
On Saturday, the negroes, armed, to
the number of 300 or 400. rendezvoused
at Fellowship Church, (near the place OF
the killing.) and about 100 of them pro-
ceeded to Manning, threatening to take
the lives OF ten white men and to burn
the town.. There were but few white
men in town, but messengers were de-
spatched, and the handful was speedily
augmented, until probobly some 200 or
300, at different times, were present.
The Sheriff and Intendant, we learn,
requested Col. H. L. Benbow to act A
parley ensued-the character or particu-
lars Of which we have not learned-and
both sides finally dispersed, after two
deys. The leading whites acted with
promptness, but with calmness and pru-
dence, and but for this there must have
been q bloody collision.
AT one time the negroes seized CO.
lored man. named Egbert Nelson, whom
they suspicioned, intending to put him
to death. He was rescued by the whites,
who declared that he should not die
without fair trial.
The negroes seem to have been greatly
excited, and greatly in confusion as to
their suspicious or information and conn-
sells. They retired with threats against
certain parties suspicioned by them, and
the end of the difficulty is probably not
yet. The whites nre calm and deter
mined, and whilst they will neither seek
or encourage difficulty with them, will
not hesitate to strike telling blows in
defence, if collision cnnnot be avoided.
