In the Chronicle and Sentinel of Thun.
day morning appeared the following local
article:
‘•Columbia Oouktt.—Beporta coma to
ua from Oolnmbia county that an inanr-
lection of the oolored people is appre
hended in one aection of the ouuuty.
Theee reports are of the regnant charac-
. tar, and teem to rest upon the moat shad
owy foundation. Undoubtedly, however,
some appreheoaion eziata among the
whiten, and we hear of preparations being
made for trouble should it oome. If the
negroes should contemplate suoh a thing
they would be very foolith to attempt it
nnleaa they are ambitious ol extermina
tion."
These reports had come to ua in suoh a
way that we hoped, aa we believed, that
they had been grossly exaggerated, and
that the trouble would disappear without
bloodshed or violent*. These hopes, we
regret to write, have not been realised.
The turbulenoe of a few bad colored men
had resulted In their death, and appre
hensions are entertained that the end is
not yet.
ran comMHoiMBKT or in tboublb
Dates some time book. The negroes of
district number three in Columbia conn
ty, distant about twenty or twentv-two
miles from Augusta, began a month
more ago to act iu such a manner as to
cause serious alarm upon the part of the
whites. They purchased arms, organized
a oompany, and oommenoed to drill, i ho
oitisens of the district did not objeot to
the formation of this oompany, nor had
they any right to object, if it had appear
ed that it was gotten up aa all the other
military compuniea in the State have been
—for the purpose of amusement. But it
•soon became evident that this organiza
tion was really a declaration of war, and
wns to'be so considered.' Violent and re
peated threats were constantly made
against the whites, in langusge whose itn.
pot- could not be misconstrued. About
two' weeks ago, Thomas Boyd, a colored
man, who had joined the company and
drilled with it regula-ly, resigned bis
membership. He then took oocasion to
inform bis employer, privately, that he
had joined the company for the purpose
of amusement, but he had soon discov
ered that the objeot of the organization
was something widely different. He said
that they were preparing for
WAB WITH THE WHITES,
and as he did not sympathize with thoir
feelings, he bad left them. The ring
leaders of the movement were fonr color
ed.men—Sake Doggett, Delaney Doggolt
(brothers), Fountain Doggett (their
father), and a man named Ted. The fonr
. lived together, and pretended to cultivate
" a small farm—though their principal ob
ject was the sowing of discord betweon
the raoes. Founts n Doggett repeatedly
stated that the negroes were now in a po
sition to defend themselves, and if they
needed assistance, that it had been prom
ised by the militia of Edgefield county,
B. 0., who were only separated from them
by the Savannah river. They pretended
to be afraid of Ur. Uobert Larnkin, bo-
oause several years ago that gentlemen
bad had trouble with Dome of them. In
order to give them no excuse for further
persistence in their seditious conduct, the
citizens requested Ur. L. to go away for
a while, whiuh request ha cheerfully and
"Immediately complied with—going, we
believe, to Uaoon. But this concession
seemed to have no effeot, except to rnako
the negroes worse and more inBubordi-
nate. A few days ago, while Ur. Uinor
Luke was at work in hie field, unarmed,
Delanoy Doggett approached, apparently
for the express purpose of
PBOVOKXNO A COLLISION.
He aooosted Ur. Luka in the most vio-
lent and profane langusge. He deolared
that his people were armed now and that
they intended to have revenge. He said
the Ku-Klux had killed the negroes in
1870, and that they were going to have
blood for blood. Threats were made
against Ur. LukS’e life and the lives of
several gentlemen residing in the neigh
borhood. A meeting of the company had
been called for yesterday and it was feared
that on that day they might attempt to
execute their threatened vengeance. The
whites had, 1 therefore, determined - to
meet them on that occasion, to remon
strate with them and attempt to bring
them to reason. But on Tbnrsdsy two
citizens, alarmed by the threats which
had been made against their lives, bad
warrants taken out against the four oolor-
ed men above mentioned. Friday morn,
ing, between daylight and eight o'clock,
these warrants were executed by Deputy
Sheriff Peter Wright and a small posse of
men. The engross were srrested end
