MVRIf. - I u Editor, SEW BERNE, N. C. JULY 25. 1884. Altered at the Post office at New Berue, N C. , . as second-class matter. MR. LOGAN S LETTER. The Republican nominee for Vice President has written a letter of acceptance, and although dated four days later than Mr. Blaine's, he has either failed to read it, or in his egotism purposely ignores the style of his superior. Mr. Blaine, we think, clearly won the position . we assigned him of a Sophist, but Gen, Logan is content with - that a Demagogue, and of no high . order at that. After telling us that "This honor, as is well understood, was wholly unsonght by me," turns loose a batch of ridiculous ideas as to gov ernment much akin to those he en tertained when in the Legislature t of Illinois, he voted for a law to . punish by fine any person of the negro race who might be found within the borders of that Eden of , Republicanism. But now, he thinks them but little more desirable citizens; and tacitly affirms that they vote at the dictation of Demo cratic intimidation; a statement as degrading to tho colored voter as - it is false and disgraceful to the writer.) ' Colored votes in the South are cast with more self control, morein- . dependence of action, than the laboring vote of the Noith, and we challenge Mr. Logan to show to the contrary. The colored voters v are not all Republicans, no more than are the white laborers North, and Oen. Logan offers to a set of worthy: devotees ot Lis party a simple insult when he puts them v down as an intimidated crew al though numerically in a majority. -- On his know-nothing sentiments , , we 'presume the' foreign-born ele ment of his ow n State and the West will pass their opinion, . His letter produces no change in our opinion, and we still think as we wrote on the 8th of June of his nomination. He neither adds strength to the ticket nor contrib utes a mite to its weakness. THE LECONTE PEAR. ,' Fruit growing is attracting con siderable interest in this section, and with' quick transportation to , Northern ' markets' it is destined to become a profitable . as well as a pleasant branch of the farm.. In preparing for this business it is well to select the best trees, such as are not subject to diseases, and are not so choice about the soil.' The Le Conto Pear, from the description given it by a correspondent of the Southern Planter, would seem to be one eminently suited for Southern farmers,' and we publish the corre spondence in full for the benefit of onr readers. : We deem it proper to add that our townsman, Mr. Geo. Allen, has one of the trees, not yet bearing and speaks very favorably of it as a thrifty, hardy tree: - Mb.; Editoe:As this pear is being tried by a considerable num ber of the citizens of Virginia, as well as other States in which the ; "j uthern Flantcr circulates, doubt- 3 such persons would like to ' ow something of its origin and i chief merits. 'With your- per sion 1 will endeavor to condense 3 into as short space as pos- ''s OeigTn. -In 1853 (May), i LeNConte, after. whom the pear was subsequently named, sent, among otuer trees, a smalt rootlet labelled, "Chinese, PearA to his iece in -'Liberty eouury, ua. This little trjpe grew in its new home. and at the age of five years began to bear. The vigor and beauty of the tree, surpassing those of any other fruit tree, together with the perfect symmetry aud handsome appearance of the fruit,' attracted the attention of those living in the immediate neighborhood- In time they learned that it ould be propa gated from cuttings, and in this way a number of trees were fcrowu. Not in' any considerable numbers, however, for one or two trees would supply the wants of a family, and m thoso days the citizens of that county were noted for their wealth, culture and hospitality, and never dreamed of fruit culture for profit. Hence, this pear remained in com parative obscurity - until the war brought about' a chauge. Like other seaboard sections, , Liberty county was subjected to incursions from the Northern soldiery, and many of its citizens sought security for themselves and property in the interior of the State. Amongthose who found homes in this (Thomas) county were some who knew of this pear, and they brought with them either rootlets or cuttings. When these began to bear bountiful crops of luscious fruit while but a few years of age, the attention of a single fruit-grower was attracted to the merits of this pear. He commenced its propagation, and sale, and soon started it on a boom. From this little beginning Thomas county became known as the home and headquarters of the Le Conte. Here it has grown , and flourished until it has become one of the chief industries of the county almost equalling cotton in its proportions anu tar surpassing it in profits. Hundreds of acres are set in this pear, and annually tho acreage is being increased. A syndicate, with ten thousand dollars capital, has been organized and will put out the coming tail and winter one bun dred acres in Le Contes. Almost every home in the county has its orchard, and soon there will be none without it. Every one has faith in it, and all who have en gaged in its cultivation have real ized handsome returns. . So much for its origin and introduction to the fruit world. Character and Habits of the Tree. The tree is a rapid grower, attaining the height of three to six feet in a year from a cutting; is almost independent of soil and climate, and proof against disease of every kind. Not a single case of blight has yet been reported. In appearance, it resembles the Lorn bardy poplar, and with its dark, glossy green suit, taken on early in the spring, is doubtless the hand somest fruit tree in the world; comes iuto bearing about the filth or sixth year, and frequently younger under good cultivation; has no off years, but bears annual crops; yields, after ten or twelve years of age, from fifteen to thirty bushels. Trees in this county have yielded over forty bushels in a single season. The tree attains great age. The parent tree, now over thirty years old, is still as vigorous and fruitful as ever. The Fruit. The fruit is rather large, uniformly symmetrical, light lemon in color, sub-acid, slightly granular and very juicy: ripens here about the fifteenth of July a lew weeks earlier than the Bartlett or California pears; classes good and sells readily in the Northern and Western markets at $2 to $5 per , bushel frequently higher. When evaporated is the best fruit I ever saw; is ' very bright, and is so sugary that one can scarcely be lievc that it was not dipped in white sugar before being dried, When properly evaporated, sells readily at thirty to forty cents per pound. How Propagated. The tree being a rapid grower, requires heavy pruning , lor several years, and the limbs thus ; cut back or wholly removed are cut into see tions from eight to twelve inches long and trenched in good mellow ground, leaving one or two "eyes above , ground. From October to February is the best time to put out cuttings' or trees. Being so much more vigorous than other varieties, the Le Coute should . al ways be "grown on '.its own roots. Many nurserymen, and especially those JNortn, duo. or gratt.it' on other 'stock, in order to secure a greater: number , of. trees from a given number of cuttings, but the tree is comparatively , worthless. No other stock will lurnish enough support, and the result is a dwarfed tree. It makes the finest grafting stock for other varieties yet found, but should never be gralted upon another. ..... v Much more might be said iu be half of the Le Coifte, but this will suffice to acquaint the reader with the main facts, and lest I trespass too largely npon.yonr space, will tender my best wishes for the sue cess of the Southern Planter and bid you adieu. . .7 J. T, Chasiain. Thorn asville, Ga. - : P. S. ;As some one may doubt the adaptability ot this pear to his section, I will state that it is grow ing in nearly all of the States- and territories, and Is fruiting as fa North as Connecticut, and as far South as Florida. It promises . to be the boon : of all fruit growers throughout the land. . The. Cholera Spreadlntv. ?r , ' PARis, tarty 21.

The Secretary of the Treasury has is sued a circular to ; officers of the revenue marine, service which con tains the following: ; - ; . . . 1 In view of the presence of an epi demic of cholera, the existence of yellow fever, and the Oriental plague abroad,1 the safety of the public health' in this country demands the enforcement of rigid quarantine against the ' introduction of these diseases throngh vessels arriving at our ports. The President has de termined to establish, by means of tue vessels oi the revenue marine, a national patrol of th'ecoast of the United States. ! ' : You are accordingly directed to cruise actively with the revenue steamer under your command upon the outer - lines ot your cruising grounas, and to exercise especial vigilance in speaking all vessels ar riving from foreign ports, directing your inquiries, first, as to the port irom which the; vessel hails, and, secondly; as to the health of those on board at the time of departure, duriug passage, and at the time of hailing; and should the information gained indicate a 1 condition of contagion or ! infection in the yess'el ' or crew, or that the ves sel .; has left a port at; which con tagious or infectious diseases were prevailing, her master will be di rected to proceed tov examination to the .'outer quarantine station, provided for her port of destination. If a vessel be found with sickness on board, ; or in a f'onl condition, she will be directed ' to ; proceed to the outer quarantine station and the revenue marine officer will im mediately notify the proper quar antme onicer. in .such case' no person will be permitted to board the vessel until the medical officers in charge of the quarantine shall have given the usual permit. v ' Should the piloit or. master of a vessel when hailed report; cases of sickness on board, the.; revenue officer will not board, but will send ner immediately to quarantine."
