move a carbuncle from his neck. Gen- +
eral Moore, although suffering from *
diabetes for a long time, had been in ^
his office all last week and only Mona
A day was forced to remain at home. ^
Yesterday morning attending physicians
decided to carry the adjutant <general
to a Columbia hospital to op- ^
erate for the carbuncle. The general ^
went on the operating table about 1 Q
o'clock, but never regained conscious- ^
ness, dying shortly alter < o ciock. q
Word of the death of the military ^
commander of the state spread over
the city, especially among his inti- ^
mate friends, and cast a deap shadowover
many homes. 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. General ^
^ Moore had worked untiring to rebuild
the guard and just when he had
succeeded he was removed from life. ,

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 . C
town or I'ium rsrancn u u,u ui
his victim to be-identified, had stated
that they would return to the town
before ?oln*r about the work of lynching
him. This statement was relied
u^r-n by seve/al hundred who remain;. >
fin, tmv?i nf Plum Branch
t'U ill liiv, iFv/ ....
awaiting the return of the men with
the culprit, and when all of a sudden
a volley of ?hots ran.tr out, everybody
made a rush for the scene, the crowd
present bavin? I*-ft by other and various
roads before those waiting in the
town o;;u 1 <i reach the scene.
The shootintr tr?o-k lace at 4 o'clock.
The clo'hinjr worn by the neyr > and
the body were mutilated for souven;

As a rule the nee roes of McTorniick
county are polite and obii/ir.'r
and quite a number took part in the
ser.rch for the neirro'. There is no
feidinsr whatever between the whites
an;' ne'voes.
