General Moore was .( loved and admired by people all over ' the state, numbering his friends by the thousands. His death came as a ' - ' 1- i-:~ oofrt iS distinct SnOCK, even ins umvc aaau- ^ ciates not realizing the serious condition the beloved National Guard commander was in until a short time before the end came. It was the fate of General Moore to live just long enough to see the South Carolina National Guard reorganized since the war, his efforts ^ again to place the militia on a sound footing i6 the .state having justj, brought forth a complete regiment of ^ infantry. Only Tuesday a colonel of ' the regiment was elected.

Crowds Joint in Hunt Near Piuni Branch. Thousands of Shots Fired The State. j McCormick, June 1!).?The posse ! which yesterday morning began the hunt for Herbert Quarles, a negro, , charged with criminally assaulting a ! white woman, one mile west of Plum Branch, caught the negro at 3 o'clock this afternoon and put him to death. There were probably two thousand men in the search. The negro was found hiding under some brush, about fifteen miles from the place where he committed the crime and about one mile from where he was raised. When those finding him were in about ten feet of him, he jumped out of the brush, holding his hands up in an effort to keep from being shot. Hundreds' of shots were fired in the air as an alarm by those near the spot. The news spread rapidly and the posse ' soon gathered on the scene. Men from Greenwood, Saluda, Edgefield, Aiken, Abbeville, Newborn' and Lincoln county, Georgia, joined in tb? hunt. ! From the spot where Queries was found he was taken to the home of ! his victim, and while there was no ' - - 1 " - c- i: 1 doubt on the part ci mose nnumy him ?bout his being the right party, the crowd was cool and orderly and they immediately agreed to take him back to the scene of the crime and to the victim for her identification. Not or!y were those in charge of him sure of his identity, hut the negro himself admitted having committed the crime irui while ho srave no reason for com the (feed, he said": "Tell all the colored people that this is the wrong thing, and tell them to try and be !;i tt??r people and never try the deed that I tried." After being: identified by his victim and making a full confession, the negro was taken to a point within the . t , Ilo'oinson graveyard, m me ciump 01 bushes where the deed was committed just 100 yai\!s from his home and about two hundred yards from the home, of his victim, and with a plow line around his neck and a trace chain around his body he fvas directed t<? climb a cedar tree. He broke tlie limbs and climbed the tree about fifteen feet. When he had reached this point, some one went up and chained and tied him to the tree. When al! was i:i readiness a volley of probably live thousand shots was fired. He was left hanging; to the tree. i This is the first lynching that has ever occurred in MeCormick county, and although the regular June term (of the court of general sessions for McCoi iv.ick county commences here tomorrow, the appeal of the officers n-nd those who do not favor lynching fell on deaf ears, as the men went about their work. In fact, r.ot more than half the number in the hunt ! were present wher. the negro was put to death. Those in charge of the negro, who had taken him from the ~ 1- - *. 1 1 .
