The Silver River.

Silver River it is called, which
seems to me particularly appropri-
ate name, as it is entirely the out
pouring of Silver Springs and not in
creased by any streams flowing into
1T, or to any extent by surface drain
-age along it's nine miles of length.
Having transferred from the glass
bottom boat to a larger passenger
boat that runs from the springs down
the river, we broke through the trees
and started to explore this river. 1

Deep" Messy pillows, ever ahead of

the spring, and just as wonderful in
its formation. Right in the middle of

liar crime upon negro girl in the
Callison section of this county about
ten years ago but escaped punishment
on account of a lack of evidence. He
is also said to be the first negro sent
to the chaingang in this county. He
was convicted. of stealing several
hundred dollars and served his time
out.
As soon as the alarm was given
this morning posse was quickly or
ganized and went to the scene, but
it was found impossible to get along
through the woodland on his trail,
and Sheriff Cannon Blease of New
berry was wired for bloodhounds,
which arrived about 2 o'clock this
afternoon and Immediately took up
the trail for several miles.
Thought Surrounded Once.
People in the community reported
having seen the negro pass going in
the direction of Edgefeld. At one
time it was thought the negro was
surrounded, but if so he successfully
made getaway from this woodland
in which he was supposed to have
been at the time. The dogs are still
on his trail, although the woods are
very thick and it is thought that he
is making his way to his fathers,
who lives near Edgefeld.
Among those in search of the negro
are sheriffs from Mccormick, Green
wood and Edgefeld counties and
Sheriff Harrison of Lincoln county,
Georgia. 1t was learned late this af-
ternoon that the negro had gone to
the home of his father-in-law and
changed part of his clothing and OBJ
tanned something to eat. Some men
appeared at the home, but he was
watching for them and left as they
approached the house and when they
were half mile away.

rested at three o'clock, his guilt was
definitely established, his identity de-
termined by his victim and his life
taken.
The negro confessed his guilt, and
told the posse: "Tell all the colored
people that this is the wrong thing
and tell them to try and be better
people and never try the deed that 1
tried" After being identified by his
victim he was taken to a point with
in a graveyard in the clump of
woods where the crime was commit
ted, just about one hundred yards
from his home and about 200 yards
from the home of the woman. A plow
line was tied around his neck and a
trace chain around his body, and he
was directed by the posse to climb
a cedar tree selected for the hang
ing.
With the same degree of GOODNESS
he would have employed in climbing
for an opossum the black seized the
trunk and mounted the tree. He broke
limbs and climbed until about fifteen
feet from the ground. When he had
reached this point member of the
posse went up and chained and tied
him. A minute later as the white man
reached the ground volley of shots
fully 5000, was fired, killing the ne
gro instantly. His body was COM
pletely filled with bullets, He was
left hanging to the tree. Men from
the crowd surged up and collected
souvenirs from the body and scene.
and scene.
The lynching was one of the most
cool and accurate executions in the
history of mob law. 1t was the first
lynching Mccormick county has ever
seen, and this particular mob demon
stration has not been generally con-
demned as have the majority of 9th
ers. Scores of negroes helped form
the 1000 man mob, and only two
blacks were Objectionable. These
were the father-in-law and brother
in-law of Quarles. When members of
the posse went to their house, where
Quarles resided, and asked to search
the premises, they were repulsed.
,Whereupon they are said to have
stripped the clothes from the negroes,
bound them to logs, and chastised
them with sticks until the blood
came from huge welts. The house was
then searched, but the two negroes
never did become entirely submis-
sive.

swimming about under US in plain

sight.
All too quick, we approached the
point where the Silver River joins
the Ocklawaha, that other wonderful
river, which has its own startling sur
prises and delights. The blending of
the crystalline water of the Silver
River with the mystic, darker mirror
surfaced water of the Ocklawaha was
intensely inteesting as each strug-
gled to keep it's own characteristics
and to prevent the other from getting
in its influence.
Here in Florida Silver Springs is
very little known and there has nev-
er been any special effort to inform
the tourists of the wonderful beauty
of these springs and the Silver River.
1 have just returned from a trip to
Silver Springs and down the Silver
River, and it has been revelation to
me. I know of no place more Won
derful, more extraordinary, or more
beautiful. 1t is something that one
can talk on for hours, and not do it
justice.
Here in the thick forest near Sill
,ver Springs Osceola, the great Semi
mole warrior, was born at what is
now Fort King, three miles from
ocala. Here grand council was held
between officers of the United States
and the chiefs of the Seminoles. Os-
ceola, then a minor chief, and called
by his people the Sad and Silent
Man, sat mute and motionless dur
ing the deliberations, and when the
ranking chiefs had signed the treaty,
Osceola was commanded to come for
ward and sign. Walking to the table
surrounded by the counsellors, he
pushed aside the proffered pen, and,
driving his hunting knife through the
midst of the document, left it, walk
ing from the council room, leaving
behind him a deaf and dumb declara-
ton of war.
The records of the human race fail
to furnish the name of any other man
born and reared savage, who for
ten years waged war against great
great civilized power. He was a
fierce and impIacable foe, skilled in
all the Indian mode of warfare, a
savage, barbarian; but as great pa
triot as the world has ever known.
He deserves to be classed as one of
our greatest generals. At last he was
captured while under flag of truce,
by the United States, with eighty of
his warriors, and placed in Fort Mar
ion at st. Augustine, and on Jan

of general sessions for Mccormick
county commences here tomorrow,
and accordingly officers pleaded that
the punishment of the negro be de-.
ferre dso that he might be tried. But
their pleadings fell on deaf ears. The
citizens from half a dozen counties
were determined to carry out the
work, and this they did quietly and
without show or demonstration.
There are said to have been several
Augustans in the posses who all Sat
urday night beat the hills for the fu-
gitive black. Near morning hope lag
ged, but the search was not relin-
quished. The dogs on his trail routed
him out of a clump of brush some
fifteen miles from the scene of the
crime and about one mile from where
he was reared. When the posse was
within ten feet of him he jumped out
of his hiding place, holding his hands
up. Shots of alarm were fired, and
more quickly than the telephone sys-
tenn could spread it, news of the ar
rest was relayed to Greenwood, Salu-
da, Edgefeld, Aiken, Abbeville, New
berry and Lincoln county, Georgia.
Men from all these counties quickly
arrived but many of them too late.
From the spot where he was found
he was taken to the home of his VIC
tim and while there was no doubt ON
the part of those finding him that ne
was the right man, it was agreed that
he should be taken before his victim
for Identification. When he confessed
he endeavored to give no reason for
committing the crime, but in his
statement warned his racial brothers
against committing such deed.
The woman assaulted resides be-
tween the town of Plum Branch and
the Savannah River. Saturday morn
ing, about eight o'clock she left her
house to go to the mail box, 800 yards
away. The negro was working in an
adjacent field. Looking up, he saw
the woman, and ran toward her.
Selling her, he overpowered her and
choking off her screams dragged her
to clump of woods nearby.
After the deed was committed, the
negro fled. Sheriff Blease of New
berry, wired for bloodhounds and a
large posse was formed. Men from
half a dozen counties, including Lin
coin county, Ca, Joined in the hunt.

Mccormick Posse Pursuing
Herbert Quarles Charged
With Criminal Assault

Mccormick, June 1S.-At IL
o'clockRtonight a posse of about 800
men, heavily armed, is still searching
for Herbert Quarles, a negro, who is
charged with criminal assault upon
a highly respected white woman
about 100 yards from her home, one
mile west of Plum Branch, McCor-
mick county, at about 8 o'clock this
morning. While the trail has been
consistently followed at times, it
seems that the negro has success
fully evaded the possibility of being
captured tonight, although the party
in search of him continues deter
mined to capture him, and should he
be captured it is thought certain that
he will be Immediately tortured to
death as a penalty for the alleged
crime committed.
The negro's alleged victim lives in
a sparsely settled community be-
tween the town of Plum Branch and
the Savannah river, about 100 yards
from her mail box, and it is reliably
stated that she went to the mail box
this MORNING about 8 o'clock and
negro, Herbert Quarles, who also
lives nearby and who was at the time
working in a field nearby, left his
work and in some way caught the
woman and Immediately choked her
and dragged her to nearby wood,
where he is said to have accomplish
ed the crime. The victim is married
woman, about 80 years of age. Her
husband was not at home at the
time and she was choked, strangled
or frightened into uncoDsciousness
by the brute, who, it is alleged, after
committing the crime, went to his
own home, obtained his best clothes
and Immediately left with them un-
der his arm, wearing the overalls in
which he had been working.
