RAIDED CHICCO's PLACE.
Dispensary COnstables Make n

Dispensary COnstables Make n
Wreck of Notorious Blind Tiger.
Charleston. S. c., July 23.-Late last
night squad of dispensary constables,
under the leadership of Chief Lafar,
made a raid upon the Market street
establishment of Vincent Chicco. the
most famous blind tiger in Charleston.
They broke open the doors of the place
and ransacked it thoroughly, counters,
desks and other furniture was over
turned. and not a corner escaped in
spection. A large quantity of wine,
beer and liquor was captured.
Chicco complains bitterly of the
treatment accorded him. He declares
the constables drove him out of his
shop by a show of weapons, that they
broke up much valuable stuff. and that
when he returned to the place his safe
was open and 1882 was missing. He
says he will swear out warrants. The
Chicco shop is notorious, and there is
little sympathy excited here by the
complaints of the proprietor.

APALACHICoLA PILOTS AT WAR.
They Take Their Troubles Into the
Courts.

Tallahassee, Fla, July "A case of
more than ordinary interest to shipping
throughout the state, and to bar pilots
in particular, is brewing in the Cir
cult Court of Franklin county, at the
instance of the pilots of Apalachicola
A quo warranto. against A. B. Por-
ter, recently licensed at said port, was
issued, returnable before Judge Ma
lone at Quincy on Monday last. 1t is
urged by the pilots that Porter was
a usurper in that he had not served
an apprenticeship under articles for
four years on a regular pilot boat
prior to his attaining a license.
At the same time Porter has applied
for similar writs against five pilots at
the same port, who it appears are in
the same situation. The first writ
was allowed without hesitation, and
the Porter case is under Amusement
by the judge. His decision may have
far-reaching results, for in the event
he holds apprenticeship under inden-
ture to be necessary. those pilots who
have been licensed since the revised
statutes without the four years ap-
premiership being de facto. could not
legally collect pilotage.

He is lawyer of considerable ability.
In fact, there is not a better one in

CULTURE OF PEAR TREES.
Views of "A Prominent Grower AhOut
the Fruit.

the Fruit.
That pear trees do not thrive when
the land upon which they are planted
is cultivated has been taught Mr.. S.
H. Rumph Of Marshallville by his own
experience President John NJ. Egen
OF the Central was at Marshallville
faw days ago, and he then paid Mr.
Rumph a visit. Mr.. ]. H. Hale. who
has extensive fruit interests near VAL
dosta, accompanied Mr.. Egan.
The three gentlemen were walking
through Mr.. Rumph's pear orchard
Mr.. Hale observed that there was a
line of strict demarkation between two
sections of the orchard-one in which
the trees were healthy and laden with
fruit, and the other in which the trees
did not look well and bore little fruit
They were troubled with pear blight.
MIR. Hale asked Mr.. Rumph for an
explanation of that singular circum-
stance. The latter replied that it was
due to his having cultivated the ground
where the inferior pear trees Stood
and having allowed the other section
of the orchard to remain without dis
turbance. The section in which the
trees were not so healthy was nearer
Mr.. Rumph's residence, and ii was be-
cause of that that he cultivated it,
planting between and under the trees.
1t seemed that the plough had in
furious effect upon the trees. Where
the ground had remained undisturbed,
pear trees as fine as could be found
anywhere were to be seen. Mr.. Rumph
deduced from this that it would be
well for those who grow pears never
to plant anything else on the same
ground. The best course is to plant
the trees thickly and allow the ground
to remain free from plough.
With peaches ii is different. Until
the trees begin to bear, the spaces be-
tween them may be planted with cot
ton, ground peas or other crops.
Ground peas are regarded by peach
growers, however, as helpful for
peaches. After the trees begin bear
ing, the ground is kept thoroughly
cleared by the most successful growers.
They do not permit even a blade of
grass. The plough does not injure the
peach trees in any way.
Plums, Mr.. Egan found from the
gentlemen, have not done so we'll They
attribute the defective fruit to the
stock of the trees used Better stock.
