THREE NEGROES CAUGHT
AFTER HUNT IN SwAMPs
Prisoners Name White Men as Ac-

and Warrants are Issued.

AIKEN, NOV. If.-bl0OQn0unQS
from the State penftentiary secured
the Edisto swamp in this county last
night, and after man hunt which
lasted for several hours, three me-
groes were brought to Aiken this
morning and placed in Jail. Warrants
have been issued for three men nance
by the prisoners. A prosperous negro
farmer named Berry, who lives about
seven miles from Ridge Spring, was
driving home last night about 8
o'clock. When in about hailing dis
tance of his home he was waylaid
as he was crossing dam at the edge
of the Edisto swamp. In the dark
ness before him a number of men
suddenly appeared and opened fife
upon him. Berry ducked, his mule
and buggy receiving load. A bullet
passed through his cap. After
another volley, which wounded the
mule, the negroes disappeared, sevt-
IDENTIFY believing they had succeeded in
their purpose. Berry, however, was
unhurt. Immediately, acting upon his
own initiative, he got into commune
cation with the State penitentiary and
requested that bloodhounds be sent
to the scene. The authorities would
not proceed, however without q
money guarantee, and as soon as Ber-
ry learned this was the causeJof the
delay, he deposited 500 with citizen

penses. The bloodhounds were
brought through the country in an au
tomobile and the chase began. Three
negroes, Vance Quattlebaum, Wash
Kenner and Phony Cant, were run
down and captured and brought to
Aiken. The negroes arrested last
night have confessed and implicated
nine other men, four white, whose
prominence adds a deeper interest in
the affair, which is still little mys-
terious, and five negroes. The con-
fession puts different complexion
on the whole affair. Warrants have
been issued today for the arrest of

DuBose was a candidate for magIs-

nephew of Magistrate Giles Gregory
According to the story told by Ber-
ry he incurred the animosity of the
negroes of his community some time
ago when he informed the white men
that negro secret order which held
its meetings at midnight hours was
planning to exterminate the white
people of the northwestern section ot
the county and was maintaining an
armory in its lodge room, gathering
arms and ammunition for the intended
attack. Berry claims the negroes at
tackled him for this reason. But
there is another story. Berry owns a
good sized place. Not so very long
ago roadway was opened through
his land. He objected, and it is said,
has threatened to close it to travel.
Distractions have been placed in the
way of those who sought to travel
that way, and several times of late,
so it is reported, travellers along this
road have been fired on at night

CAPTAIN RUFUS
WARING TINSLEY.
A Gallant Soldier, a Sincere Christ
ian, a Prominent Mason and An
Exemplary Citizen.
(From the Confederate Veteran,
Nashville, Tenn.)

Capt. r. w. Tinsley entered into
rest at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
S. w. Pryor, in Chester, S. c., on May
"a, 1912. He was a native of White
Stone, Spartanburg county. and was
sixty-seven years of age. At the out
break of the war, although only boy
of sixteen years, he promptly enlisted
in the Confederate army, becoming a
member of Company C, 18th South
Carolina Infantry, commanded origi-
nally by Capt. D. r. Duncan and later
by Capt. John w. Carlisle. On the
battle field of Cold Harbor, July II,
1862, young Tinsley was shot through
the body by Mimic ball which killed
a man directly behind him, and he
was left for dead on the field. He
remembered that in the near vicinity
there was small stream of water,
and he worked his way to it, quenched
his thirst and dressed his wound. The
next morning he was picked up by the
ambulance corps. When he was be-
ing lifted into the ambulance, he was
helped by a soldier getting around
on one foot, the other foot having
been shot off in the same battle.
His mother dreamed that her son
was in a certain hospital badly wound
ed. So vivid was the impression that
she persuaded her husband to COM
mence in the night preparations for
the journey early next morning. The
father went to the hospital and found
that the condition was even as the
anxious mother dreamed, the son be-
ing in almost dying condition.
Mr.. Tinsley was color bearer in
the South Caolina division for years.
He was first on General Davis's staff
and later, until his death, with Gen.
B. H. league. He was for years a
member of the Union County Pension
Board, and the veterans of the county
attended his funeral in a body.
Mr.. Tinsley was a member of Grace
M. E. Church and a member of the
board of stewards. He settled in Un-
ion in 1866. He was matchmaker
anu JeWclcI, dllu CoIlluuSu dI IiiS
same business until within few
weeks of his death He always took
a great interest in all that helped to
perpetuate the memory of the deeds
of the veterans, and the Reunion at
Macon was the first he had failed to
attend for ten years, He also was a
prominent Mason and the oldest MEM
ber of the Union Lodge No. rs, F. and
A. NJ. He was always interested in
the affairs of the city and had served
as alderman.
Golding Tinsley, of Revolutionary
fame, was his great-uncle and Col.
William White, of the Revolution, was
his mothers cousin.
In July, 1866, he was married to
Miss Sarah Rogers of Union, S. c.,
who died in 1906. Of this union the
surviving children are: Mrs. S. w.
Pryor and Messrs. Eugene and Theo-
dore Tinsley, of Chester, S. c.; Misses
Edna and Clarice Tinsley, Mrs. l.. G.
Meador, and Mr.. j. E. Tinsley of Un-
ion.
The deceased was upright in all the
relations of life and was highly es-
teemed.
