1t seems that Pigot went from
Ruth to McComb, after his crime,
drifted on southwark and is known
to have been in New Orleans be-
fore his arrest on the farm of d
Mr.. Lambert last Thursday morn
ing, from 4 to 6 miles from Kent

wood, who had his description
and had seen him at work while
hunting on the Lambert farm, is
due the direct credit for locating
him and securing his arrest.
When Sheriff Greer arrived on
the afternoon train, he found Pi-
got under arrest and in the store
at the Kentwood mills, securely
tied, hand and foot. He was pass
ing on the Lambert place under
the name of Eli Conerly.
The news of Pigot's capture
preceded the cannon ball to New
Orleans and Sheriff Greer says

so aroused the negro would have
been lynched before reaching the
Parish Prison, if it had not been
for the strong protection given by
the police.

his guilt, after arriving in New

shocking details to his guards and

A CORRECTION.

We are hearing much said on
the streets and about town about
the Farmers Union over in Texas
being bankrupt. Now, my
friends, / wish to correct this
statement. There is not word
of truth in 1T. The farmers and
Bankers Warehouse Building AS
sociation, which has headquarters
at Houston, Tex, has gone into
Bankruptcy, but that is a private
concern and is not any part OF
parcel of the Farmers Union,
and does not concern or affect our
Union in the lasst.
Again, we find that it is being
very industriously circulated that
our Farmers Union Warehouse
at Brookhayen has gone into bank
ruptcy. This is another chip off
the same block: there is no truth
in it and our farmers can rest as
sured that this is only the work of
some of our pretended friends,
who never fail to avail themselves
of every opportunity to throw q
club at our organization.
The Building Association which
took the contract to build our
warehouse, failed to fulfill their
contract, they swiped all the
money they could get hold Of.
and bought everything on credit
and then kept the money and went
into bankruptcy, so now some
parties who furnished material to
