the riot and events leading up
to it. Billy Floyd, a brother to
the Darlington town dispenser
had been

up to two weeks ago and selling
whiskey in connection with it.
In this way he became acquaint
ed with the secrets of the “blind
tigers” in Darlington and was
trusted with them. When the
detachment of spies arrived in
Darlington and commenced to
make raids they invariably
went directly to places where
whiskey was kept for sale, and
this led to suspicion that he had
TURNED INFORMER.
The people were very much in
censed against him. Friday af
ternoon young Rogers, clerk in
the Enterprise Hotel, drove to
the depot in the bus to meet the
train. About eighteen spies,
armed with Winchesters and
Colt’s revolvers, were lounging
about the platform, and Floyd
was with tnem. Rogers said to
Floyd, “You are a damn ras
cal.”
FLOYD STRUCK ROGERS.
Rogers drove back to town, a
mile distant, and returned with
seven or eight men and boys.
Rah Dargan, the chief of police,
who had heard of the t r ouble,
rode up on horseback and com
manded Floyd to consider him
self under arrest and report at
the town council room on the
following morning. About this
time a gang of spies came
around from the opposite side of
the platform. L. Redmond, i
citizen, said Rogers
HAD NOT HAD FAIR PLAY.
Rogers, pointing to Floyd, ex
claimed “the ”did
not give him fair play. The
spies interfered and began to
talk. Rogers pointed at Mc
Lendon, a spy, and said: “That
damn scoundrel interfered.”
The chief of police in the mean
time had placed himself be
tween Rogers and Floyd. Mc
Lendon, replying to Rogers,
said: “You are a damn liar, —
.” Spies had
MASSED THEMSELVES
in front of the the citizens.
Frank Norment, a citizen, here
denounced McLendon as a damn
. McLendon fired
at Norment, missed, hit Chief
of Police Dargan. Previous to
the shot another spy had cock
ed his Winchester.
THE FIRING BEGINS.
Spies then opened indiscrimi
nate firing, which was returned
bjr citizens, who emptied their
pistols and then ran. Frank
Norment was killed at first fire;
Spy Pepper fell next; Redmond
was shot down as he ran off;
McLendon was shot down, prob
ably mortally wounded. When
the
SMOKE CLEARED AWAY
all had left the platform except
Dargan and K D. Lucas. Lucas
acted with wonderful courage,
coolly emptying his pistols as
though he waS shooting at a
target. Lucas, with his left
arm broken by a ball and one or
two wounds in the thigh, quiet
ly walked off towards the town,
and went three quarters of a
mile before asking for assis
tance.
ONE SPY HELPS ANOTHER.
The gentleman says that one
spy remained, and was holding
Peeper, then dead, in his arms.
Crowds then came up and
threatened to shoot this man,
who declared that he had not
fired a gun. He was only tak-.
ing care of the dead, but when
the excitement grew he fled.
This man turns out to be Si
McDonald, one of the rat n who
surrendered in Sumter and was
Spirited here last night. He
corroborates the story of Pep
per dying in his arms.
was shot in four places, in each
hip and in each arm. While
Mr. Lucas’s wounds are severe
he will recover.
There were only eight or ten
citizens at the depot. They
clearly did not go there to pre
cipitate a fight. Had this been
the intention a large and well-
armed crowd would have gone.
A few citizens poorly armed (in
fact, some not armed at all)
would be fool-hardy to seek a
row with desperate characters
armed with Winchesters.
SCOURING THE WOODS.
Number* of Determined Men
the Fleeing Spies.
The alarm was

Pursue
given
citizens rushed to the depot.
The scene there was one never
to be forgotten. The crowd
that collected around the dead
bodies of our good citizens were
frenzied; they wanted the blood
of the murderers. Men cried
with grief and anger and would
have killed the spies could they
have come upon them. But the
murderous spies took to t h e
woods immediately after doing
THEIR BLOODY WORK
and when the crowd reached
the depot they were out of sight.
Posses were hastily formed to
pursue the spies. The crowd
was so shocked and demoraliz
ed at the fearful tragedy and
so many conflicting reports were
given about the direction in
which the spies fled, that con
siderable time was lost in send
ing the posses in pursuit of the
murderers. But all night long
and the succeeding day deter
mined men scoured the county
in search for them. In the chase
Darlington was assisted by
CITIZENS OF FLORENCE
and volunteers from different
sections of the country. The
chase was hot and the stories
told by some of the spies since
reaching places of safety show
show that several times posses
were close on their frial and
that they only escaped on ac
count of the darkness of the
night. Later the spies scatter
ed and went in detachments in
different directions. They ran
THROUGH THE WOODS
all night and none took the
train until after they got out of
the county. When it was as
certained that all of the spies
had escaped beyond the county
line the posses returned to Dar
lington.
Probably it was best that the
murderers were not run up with.
The posses were composed of
the flower of Darlington’s citi
zenship and were determined
upon the taking of the spit
The latter would have resisted
as a matter of life and death
and not only the spies may
have bit the dust, but some more
of our good citizens may have
lost their lives. The death of
all the spies would not compen
sate for the loss of one good
citizen’s life.
of safety.
THE EXTENT OF HIS WOUND
The ball entered his right side
and was cut out from the left.
Drs. Garner and Lunney exam
ined him. While the ball was
being extracted McLendon in
formed Dr. Garner that he had
FIRED THE FIRST SHOT.
He is not mortally wounded
as everybody thought he was
while he was lying prostrate
upon the scene of the fight.
From motives apparent to ev
eryone the physicians probably
exaggerated the extent of the
wound. If they did they acted
very properly as in the excited
condition of affairs as then ex
isted there is no telling what
further violence might have
been done. Now that every
thing has quieted down and peo
ple are able to think reasonably,
it will be clearly be seen that
the fact that the wounded man
was not lynched reflects credit
on the town.
ANOTHER WOUNDED SPY.
To show the mercy of thepeo-
le of Darlington it should be
stated that when it was
learned that a spy, named Heap,
was lying wounded in the woods
near Darlington, two attempts
were made oy the citizens of
the town to rescue him and
carry him to a place of safety.
He could not be found, however,
as he continued his flight and
finally reached his home.

WHEN

AWAY.
CLEARED
Bach are the accounts given
by both sides.
When the smoke of battle had
cleared away it was found that
Frank E. Norment and Lucius
Redmond had been killed and
that spy Pepper had also been
killed. McLendon had fallen
on the platform with what was
then thought a mortal wound.
Mr. Norment was shot several
times and Mr. Redmond once,
but it was with a riflle ball that
f ierced his throat. Pepper died
rom a bullet passing through
his heart.
Three citizens were wounded.
Chiet Dargan received a flesh
wound in his side, Mr. L. M.
Norment received two slight
wounds, and Mr. K. D. Lucas

The excitement in Darlin
the night following the killing
beggars description. Such a
scene has never been witnessed
here before. The people were
frenzied with grief, anger and
indignation and the night was
passed with the most intense
excitement and wildest feeling
prevailing.
M'LBNDON’S FATE.
When the crowd reached the
depot after the killing, McLen
don, the spy who caused all the
trouble, was lying wounded on
the platform. Many wanted to
kill him on the spot and several
even drew their guns on him
for that purpose. But even here
following right upon the shock
of the murders conservatism
held sway. The more excited
men were restrained from doing
violence to him and the man ly
ing on the platform, apparently
mortally wounded, was unmo
lested although he was respon
sible for the blood that was
shed. That he was not killed
on the spot is due to the mercy
of the crowd.
Shortly after the fight
the Darlington Guards appear
ed upon the scene with full
ranks. They gave protection
to the wounded spy and
UNDER MILITARY ESCORT
he was carried up town to the * 1
jail in a wagon. As the wagon
moved slowly through the
streets with the wounded man
the angry citizens again wanted
to lynch him, but were prevail
ed upon not to do so. During
Friday night as there was still
danger of McLendon bein
lynched the jail was guar
by a detachment of the Darling
ton Guards.
AFTER THE FIGHT.
Soldier* Sent to the Scene of the
Disturbance.
As soon as the news of the
riot reached Columbia Friday
night Governor Tillman began
efforts to send militia to Dar
lington. As the account of the
horrible massacre was flashed
across the wires, the whole State
was thrown in a ferment. South
Carolina has never before, ex
cept in times of war, been so
stirred up. A feeling of great
indignation against the spies
and their bloody work was
immediately aroused through
out the State. The excitement
in Columbia was intense. The
Governor called out the military
of the city but every company
refused to respond. He next
tried the Fourth Brigade of
Charleston and this command
refused to come to Darlington
TO SHOOT OUR PEOPLE.
Many other Companies in the
State took the same stand. All
the companies that refused to
obey the Governor have been
disbanded.
Finally on Saturday afternoon
the Governor succeeded in get
ting the Bishopville Guards to
come to Darlington, but they
came no further than the depot
and turned around and went
back home.
THE TOWN BECOMES QUIETER
Saturday night came and
while there was still consider
able excitement the town was
much quieter.
At this juncture the Governor
issued a proclamation declaring
Darlington and Florence coun
ties in a
m'lendon escapes.
During next day threats to
lynch McLendon were still made*.
Feeling against him was very
strong as he bad caused the
blood to be shed. Towards
night the fear that he would be
lynched increased, so late in the
afternoon unknown parties
went to the jail, took him out
and carried him to some place
STATE OF INSURRECTION
and ordering the people to dis
perse to their respective homes
within twenty-four hours. The
people treated this as a huge
joke and did not disperse. They
remained in large crowds on
the streets but gave no trouble.
With the coming of Sunday
peace had again spread over
Darlington. Adjutant General
Farley arrived on the scene and
finding everything so quiet he
telegraphed the Governor that
there was no necessity to send
militia here.
THE MILITIA COMES ANYHOW
In the meantime, however,
some companies responded to
the Governor’s orders. He suc
ceeded in gathering about 600
or 700 soldiers in Columbia to
gether with a number of citizens
who volunteered their services.
Despite General Farley’s advice
the governor determined to send
a portion of the military to Dar
lington. Thirteen companies!
numbering about 300 men alto
gether, were therefore sent here.
No one understands why Gov
ernor Tillman ordered the sol
diers here. He could only get
them after peace was restored
and then they were not needed.
His only purpose must haye
been to show his authority.
SOLDIERS RECEIVED HOSPITABLY.
The troops arrived in Dar
lington Sunday night. They
came too late to go into camp
that night, so the citizens of the
town took care of them, show
ing them every hoepitaiitv. The
Darlington Guards met the sol
diers at the depot The people
of the town felt no uneasiness
about the arrival of the soldiers
for they soon ascertained that
that the majority of troops were
in sympathy politically and
otherwise with the citizens and
only came rather than disband.
Already the soldiers and citizens
are the best of friends.
MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED.
As soon as the militia arrived
the town was put under martial
law. The Sheriff and Coroner
of the county and the Mavor of
the town have been relieved
has
- 'A*rg,
of Columbia, who commands
the troops. All affairs are ad
ministered through the military.
COMMUNICATION CUT OFF.
Governor Tillman forbade the
running of special trains except
under his orders. He also took
charge of the telegraph offices
in Darlington and Columbia,
guarding them with soldiers.
No messages were allowed to be
sent out except thos^ of a pri
vate or business mU "
Despite this, ‘however, the
newspapers got all the news
from the seat of war and mes
sages from all over the State
from citizens offering assistance
to our people continued to be
received here.
TROOPS GO TO FLORENCE.
On Monday afternoon four
companies were sent from here
to Florence under Gen. Farley
and they are now stationed at
that place. Nine companies re
main in Darlington and are
camped m a field on the extreme
end of Cashu» street, where
the boys are experiencing gen
uine soldier life. They will
probably leave Darlington to
morrow.
On the night of the riot the
Dispensaries at Florence and
Timmonsville were broken open
and looted. The dispensary at
this place was not touched how
ever.
Dispenser Floyd and his as
sistant, King, and Billy Floyd
have all left town.

OUR DEAD.
Two Good and Innocent Lives Lost to
the Community.
The two citizens who lost
their lives were good men.
Mr. L. L. Redmond was
young man, about twenty-five
? ears old. He removed here
rom Durham, N. C., several
years ago. Gentlemanly in de
meanor and pleasant in man
ners he had made a host of
friends in Darlington although
he had lived here only a few
years.
His remains were carried to
his former home in Durham for
interment. A committee oi'
citizens, Messrs W. D. Woods
and T. H. Spain, accompanied
the body as an escort. The
funeral, which was held on
Sunday afternoon, was very
large.
Mr. Frank E. Norment, the
other citizen killed, was known
to everybody in Darlington
county. Gentle, lovable, sweet
in disposition and possessing all
the attributes of a manly heart,
he was universally beloved. His
character was not to provoke
trouble but' rather to advance
peace and good will among his
fellow men. This trait accom
panied by the warm attachment
of everybody for him causes his
violent death to be most de
plorable and it carries sorrow
to every house and makes a
void in every heart. Noble
Frank, he will be missed by his
friends who loved him so much.
His remains were interred in
Grovehill Cemetery on Satur
day afternoon with Masonic
honors. The devotion of the
community to him was shown
by the large outpouring of the
people, who followed his body
to the grave.
Mr. J. E. Norment wishes to
state that he has taken charge
of the business affairs of his de
ceased brother. He desires that
all who have any reason to see
him on business connected with
his brother’s office, will confer
with him, especially as to expi
rations and renewals of insur
ance policies. He has arranged
with the insurance companies
to give prompt and satisfactory
attention to everything fconnect-
ed with his brother’s agency
hers.
inflame people’s minds. A
newspaper is compelled to give
the facts that the truth may be
tnown. We deprecate violence
and hope there will be no more
of it.
Peace now prevails and it is
the duty of every citizen to do
all in his power to preserve it.
If every man will do this there
will be no more trouble.
But there is another duty that
the people of Darlington and all
South Carolinians have. The
Coroner’s inquest will show
that murder has been commit
ted. Its cause must be remov
ed, but removed by peaceful
methods. The ballot must be
used. Governor Tillman, who
is responsible for the terrible
condition of our State, must be
turned down at the polls and
the dispensary law, which arms
reckless people with Winches
ter rifles, must be wiped off tne
statute book. These two things
should be done for the sake of
peace and prosperity.

Yesterday
unfortunate
(Wednesday) an
killing occurred
hero for which our people are
not responsible. It haa been
found that during all the excite
ment some parties had been rob
bing the dispensary and an in
vestigation was begun.
Henry Green, colored, who
was an employee of the Cleve
land Hotel, made an affidavit
before Gen. Richburg that he
had seen one B. H. Paine come
out of the dispensary. Paine is
a doctor and a resident of Nash
ville, Tenn. He has beep in
Darlington for about a month
representing an insurance com
pany. Last year he visited the
town in the interest of a hedge
fence company.
Dr. Paine went to Green and
asked him about the affidavit
and the latter admitted having
made it. Paine denied the
truth of the affidavit and Green
called him a damn liar, where
upon Paine shot the negro
through the heart, killing him
instantly.
The shooting occurred in thb
Cleveland Hotel. The military
E romptly arrested Paine and
ept down all excitement. Paine
is now in jail. He is not identi
fied in any way with Darling
ton and his action was extreme
ly unfortunate, especially at
this juncture. His victim was
an inoffensive colored man.
gan eating and in four months
I was treated by a physician of
Talladega county, Ala., where
I lived eighteen years. He re
lieved it for a short while. In
six weeks it broke out again in
both legs, also on my shoulder.
Two small bones were taken
out. It continued until 1376.
In this time I had twelve differ
ent physicians. They told me
the only remedy was amputa
tion; that it could never be
cured. For six months I could
not walk a step. I went to
Mineral Wells, Texas, spent
$300.00; came home; went to Hot
Springs, Ark., staid nine months
—all failed to cure me. In 1877
I came back to Birmingham,
Ala. I went to the city hospi
tal. The doctors wanted to chop
my leg off. I was advised to
write to you, which I did. You
wrote me that B. B. B. would
cure me, and I could get the
medicine from Nabors & Mor
row, druggists, of our city. I
bought ton bottles and before I
had finished my fifth bottle my
legs began to heal, and in less
than two months I was sound
and well. That has been near
ly two years ago, and no sign
of its return yet. I have spent
in cash over $400.00, and B. B. B.
did the work that all the rest
failed to do. I will proclaim its
merits to the world as long as I
live. You have my permission
to publish this. I have traveled
so much trying to get well that
my cure is wellknown. Fifty-
two doctors have treated me in
the last 17 years. All they did
was to take what money I had
and done me no good. As often
as four times they tried to get
my consent to cut my leg off.
Thank God, I am now a well
man.
