Thought It a Danger Flag.

The negroes who had not gone
away had a scare today that caused
some of them to become panic strick-
en-. The reporter of the Graphic re-
ceived the weather flags which the
government had sent to Judge Phil
lips for the purpose of giving to the
citizens IT,, weather information The
reporter gave the flags to the janitor
at the courthouse, per instructions,
and assisted the ia,itor in selecting
the proper flags to place unon the
flagpole. The signals read: Rain
and cooler The rain flag is solid
blue and the cooler" flag, or indi-
eating a drop in temperature is a
black triangular flag under the blue
one. The negroes saw the flags and
Immediately had a drop of temper
ature. Judge A. B. Grace is hearing
the Stokes murder case in which
there are about fifty negro witnesses,
and they began to ask the court for
a leave of absence, stating that the
danger flag was on the court house.
Judge Grace ordered Deputy Sheriff
Arthur Loving to remove the flags,
which he did, and quiet was once
more restored.
The storm last night had bad ef-
feet When the rain came the negroes
could be seen running through the
city, crying and asking God to save
them. A lot of them ran on out of
the city, and if the rain stars again
tonight it is doubtful if there will be
a single black in Pine Bluff in the
morning.
