Chicco the citizen, before the
trying days of 1876 lived in
Charleston, yes, when Pollock
was in his swaddling clothes this
same Vincent Chicco was per-
forming a public duty faithfully
and we'll. When the alien and
the scalawag had their heels up
on the necks of this people, and
the humiliation became unbear-
able, Chicco responded to the
call of our leaders and manfully
did he risk his all for the deliv-
erance of this State. Chicco
was one of the reliables in 1876.
AS a member OF the Charleston
police force he was entrusted
with the most risky beats of the
city; where life and limb was in
danger, he could be relied upon
to do his full duty and obey the
orders of his superiors, and to-
day, in the city of charleston,
regardless of what is said of his
liquor traffic, there are many of
the older citizens who feel under
great obligations to Chicco. 1t
is the meanest kind of ingratl-
tude to hold up to the scorn of
the younger generation, a man
who has done so much for the
land Of his adoption. The courts
are to try violators Of law, and
not the hustings.
When Pollock speaks of ''fur-
riners' he should go a little
slow. He should know that in
the list of names he reads are
men living today who are large
ly responsible for the develop
ment Of this State, no doubt
they have some OF their money
invested in what was once the
Good -forsaken" sand Hills of
Chesterfield County, the home
of Mr.. Pollock, and, these same
men have filed places of honor
at home and abroad-he should
remember what is thought Of the
bird that befouls it's own nest.
