i FRIGHTENED NEGROES
LEAVING PINE BLUFF.
—
Trains Leaving Pine Bluff Will Not
Accomodate Crowds From Panic—
Stricken City Whose Destruc
tion Has Been Foretold.
Pine Bluff, May 27.—It is hardly
! possible that any city in the United
States occupies as unique a position
as does Pine Bluff just now. The fear
of the wind and flood, which anegress
has predicted will destroy Pine Bluff
next Friday, is still on, and the exodus
of negroes is marvelous. The capacity
of the passenger coaches is not suffi
cient for them, and this morning sev
eral hundred negroes were left on the
platform of the Valley station, unable
to taks the train.
It. is estimated that not less than
6,000 have departed, and tomorrow
will witness the largest exodus to be
chronicled since the fright has come
upon them. One of the railway ticket
offices exhausted its supply of tickets
to a nearby station, so great was the
rush. It is probable that an additional
supply of cars will be ordered for to
morrow.
The railroads are not the only means
used as a vehicle of departure. For
the past five days on every country
road leading out of Fine Bluff could
be seen numerous wagons laden with
furniture and frightened people. The
fear is not confined to the colored
r ice, and many superstitious whites
have departed also.
Quite a number of manufacturing
plants have been compelled to close;
and others will close tomorrow.
