The Two Negroes Who Attempted
(nutrapa In Florence.

Outrage In Florence.
Florence, Special.-The two negroes
who attempted a rape at the national
cemetery on Monday last are now IN
the hands of the sheriff. The governor
has ordered this officer to protect the
prisoners at all costs. The citizens
are incensed against all the officers OF
the law for cheating them out OF ven
geance. The negroes were pursued re-
lentlessly for five days by men from
Florence, Marion, Williamsburg and
Horny. They were captured Saturday
morning by e1-Sheriff Wall Of Marion
through watching the sister OF one OF
the fugitiyes taking food to the
swamp.
The negroes made desperate fight
for time but, one was mortally
wounded. They are James Clink and
John Livingston. Sheriff Evans OF
Marion took charge Of the men after
stiff resistance and notified Sheriff
McLendon OF Florence. Sheriff Nc
Lendon tried to keep the arrest quiet
but it leaked out and a large crowd
attempted to go to Marion on a spe-
cial train but the sheriff gave them
the slip. The crowd got special
train and followed the sheriff's special
ten minutes later, according to rail-
road rules.
When the citizens arrived at Marion
they found the prisoners in car
thoroughly guarded. The crowd say
the sheriff promised to bring them
back to the Florence Jail and on such
a promise they returned peaceably. A
large crowd gathered at the depot III
the afternoon. but the sheriffs special
did not return.
Gov. McSweeney came down from
Chesterfield and addressed the crowd
from the jacob house. He said he be-
lieved Florence would stand by law
and order. He pointed out the neces-
sity for defending the law and said he
would have the men brought back
here and jailed if the crowd would as
sure them protection. The crowd
cheered.
State Senator Ilderton then followed
in a speech which aroused the fire IN
the crowd and they yelled for tho re-
turn of the prisoners to Florence. The
Timmonsville Guards came up by the
governors orders through Sheriff Nc
Lendon and were greeted with boots
This sentiment is believed to be that
of only a portion of the people and
many leading citizens felt sure that
the prisoners would be safe here.
Pressure was brought to bear on Gov.
McSweeney to return the TimmolS-
vile Guards on the evening train but
in face of the demonstrations and
speeches declared that he could not do
it and that having been asked for by
the sheriff they would be under that
officers orders.
A telegram was sent to Sheriff Nc
Lendon at Marion to hold the prison
ers there for further orders.
Mayor Malloy has offered all the
citys power in cooperation with
Sheriff McLendon. The crowd insist
that the parties are guilty Of the at
tempt and should be dealt with as well
as if the crime had been committed.
While the law penalty would be only
few years in the penitentiary. Flor

The Largest Flag,

10 the f-dltor OF The Evening Star:
AS The Star always aims to be accurate.
l would like to call your attention to an
article which appeared in The Star Of Oc-
tober 30 headed Hung From the Eiffel
Tower" describing a flag now hanging In
the pension Office. size % by 50 feet, as the
largest ever made in the United States,
and, perhaps, the largest in the world. This
is an error, as the largest flag in the world,
measuring 100 by 65 feet, was exhibited last
October in Madison Square Garden New
York. 1t was made by Miss Josephine Null
FORD OF Madison, N. j., who, hearing one
day that England possessed the largest
nag In the world, determined that her ma
tive country should have that honor and
Immediately set about the work Of making
this flag. 1t was her idea that the patri-
otto people of the United States would send
tn subscriptions to defray the cost of this
nag, which would also help to pay off the
mortgage on the home of her widowed
mother, sister and herself and the flag
would then be presented to the nation as
the gift OF the American people. OF course
the expense of making the flag was large
The bunting had to be woven especially
for the purpose, as each stripe is five feet
wide. The flag is entirely handmade and
represents whole years labor, containing
325,OOO stitches. Each star measures two
feet eight inches across, and is embroid-
cred with the name of the state it repre-
sents and the date Of Its admission into the
Union
Miss Milford made five Of the stars in
historic places. as follows: The Virginia
star was made in the Lafayette room at
Mount Vernon; the Maryland star was
made at Fort McHenry, in honor Of Keys
Star Spangled Banner; the New York star
was made partly in Frances tavern and
partly on board the United States flagship
New York; the star New Jersey was made
in Washington's headquarters at Norris
town, and the Pennsylvania star in Phila-
delphfa-partly In the house Of Betsy Ross,
in the very room in which she made the
first American flag in 1776; partly at Car
penter's Hail. in the room where the first
continental congress met and partly while
sitting in Hancock's chair in Independence
Hail.
Finally the flag was finished, ana exhib-
tied for few days just after the Dewey
celebration last fall, in Madison Square
Garden where the top stripe touched the
roof of the vast amphitheater and the low
beautiful But being insufficiently adver-
tised in the great excitement attendant
upon the Dewey celebration it attracted lit
tie notice.
But this patriotic work was the cause
of the poor girls DEATH for the great
labor and nervous strain induced nervous
prostration, and she died last spring. Just
a week after her death the mortgage upon
her home was foreclosed. and her aged
sole support now is the giving of music les
sons. and the sale of little embroidery.
The flag remains yet in their possession.
The coming Inauguration would be fit
ting time to have this splendid flag dis
played upon the dome of the Capitol.

Small HOy in COuPf-

Those who saw small colored boy being
hauled through the streets in a patrol
wagon to the sixth precinct station yester-
day. commented upon the fact.
1T must be something serious" was the
remark made by one pedestrian, "or he
would never have been arrested"
The boy, whose name was given as Gift
ford Hickman and his age as seven years,
had been arrested in Seaton Park by Spe-
cial Policeman Jackson Edwards on the
charge of breaking branches from a tree
A charge Of trespass was preferred against
him. When the boy arrived at the sixth
precinct station the officers there would
not put him in cell, but gave him a seat
in the office until his grandmother could
call and leave s. collateral for HIM.
This morning when the youthful defend
ant appeared in court Judge Scott wanted
to know why the boy had not been taken
home and corrected instead of being ar
rested.
II didn't have time to bother with him."
was the reason given by the special off,
Ger.
The lads grandmother informed the court
that she corrected the boy last night. When
questioned the little chap denied that he
had broken branches from tree, and Judge
Scott dismissed the charge against him.
