Pl0GoTT AND HIS PULL.

HERE is fellow named Pggott, record Of
whose arrests for picking pockets forms a
standard part Of the daily news A close stu
dent OF local affairs, looking the papers is never
surprised to mention of of these arrests but
the absence of such mention, or the assertion that
the arrest had been followed by trial and punishment
would strike him with astonshfnent. For Pggott
possesses pull OF great value
Individually Piggott is not an impressive person
being simply adroit and vulgar thief the associate
OF Migrants and thugs but as the lucky representative
OF the criminal world, at freedom to loot the non
criminal and thereafter to twddle his thumbs in con
tempt at any presumptuous threat of punishment he
Becomes worth inspection
There is no difficulty in understanding how poll
tican cam by doing shady things acquire an influence
sufficient to help him out of tight place. but how the
Piggott sort openly follow career Of law-break
ing and suffer no Inconvenience when his guilt
IS open and papabe is mystery He belongs in
San Quentin Any one of dozen or so offenses. he
has committed would have been sufficient to have
sent another thief there For crimes of less wanton
ness, men impelled by actual want are now serving
terms varying from twenty to forty years
. Who backs Piggott, and why? An ANALYSIS az the
Situation: would be of. interest; and pertains EN-
barrassing, but If this arcenous hoodlun continues
bigger than the police and more potent than the
courts, the public will ultimately want to know all
about it.. There is growing curiosity and we think
proper one, concerning the source and purpose Of
that remarkable pull

THERE ARE OTHERS, TOO.

We clip the following from the
Greenville Reflector:
"Greenvil!e is shipping cattle to Rich
mond. The animals are kept up there
and stall fed Il while, butchcresi. shipped
back here and sold for fine Richmond
beef. A little stall feeding at HON"
might save the freight both ways. Bat
we people do business that way and
follow the same methods about other
articles We cOnsume-cOtton goods and
tobacco, for instance-pay freight two
ways instead of manufacturing the raw
material at home"
This applies with more or less
lima, and perhaps to every town in
the South. There are some things,
of course, that cannot be produced or
made at home, and these things must
be bought somewhere else, but there
are many things which could be pro-
duced or made at home for which we
still depend upon other sections.
There are no better. pasture lands IL
this country for cattle than in North
Carolina, and yet instead of export
ing beef we import it. We export
some, it is true, but nothing in COM
parison with what we import. The
same is true of pork, which is shipped
into the State by the train load, to be
distributed and sold mainly to farm
ers, who ought to raise their own
meat. Wheat, flour, corn and meal
are all shipped into the State by the
ton, when every pound we need
should be produced at home
There has within the past few
years been some improvement in this
respect, but not as much as there
should have been, for we still send
many thousands of dollars every
year out of the State for these and
other things of every day use. which
could and should be produced at
home. lt~takes time to get out OF the
ruts. We may get out after while.
and then wonder that we didn't ret
out sooner. -Wilmington Star.

DEATH OF A PROMINENT NEGRO.

Charles II. j. Taylor, one of the
most prominent representatives OF
the colorcd race, has just died in
Atlanta where he was living at the
time. He was Democrat in politics
and held several responsible public
positions being appointed Minister to
Liberia by President Cleveland, also
holding the Office of recorder of deeds
for the District of Columbia under
him. Taylor was man of character
and intelligence, and one of his last
notable uttcranccs was the following
editorial article in his paper the
Atlanta Appeal. published only a few
days before his death. Regarding
crimes among his race he said:
1--WE put mad dogs, wild cats and
the Sam Hose sort of brutcs in the
same class. We do not stay awake
at night CRYING about their destruc
ton or the method thereof. All we
want is that they shall be destroyed,
and the air that they live in purified,
if possible, to the extent that we wish
it to be in the community where
there has been yellow fever or Asiatic
cholera. We do not by this mean to
favor mob law. What men can do
while angry to protect the home they
ought to be able to do in spirit of
calmncSS.
I'VE are asked to suppress the
criminal class among us as race.
This is asking of us an impossibility.
We do not associate with the criminal
class. The officers of the law, all of
who m are white. must do the sup
pressing. The Industrious, sober,
church-going colored people are law
abiding. and heinous otfenses are
never charged against them. The
other class is beyond our reach, and
the men who license whiskey bells
and other dens of vice must control
them. Our advisers should talk
sense or remain silent"
