Chivalrous Conduct.

It will be remembered that a number
of Ku-KluX prisoners left here OH Tues
day of last week for New York, by the
steamer James .ldger, Capt Thomas
Lockwood. These prisoners were in
charge of United States officials, and,
according to the terms of transportation.
were only entitled to restricted privileges
in the ship. Captain lockwood, of the
Adger, who is as kind-hearted a man as
he is an experienced seaman, as soon
as these unfortunatcs fell to his treat
ment, disposed of them in manner far
different from what they expected would
ce the course, allowed them the use of
the cabin, provided them with state
rooms, extra covering, and in numerous
ways evinced a kindliness of heart to-
wards them deserving of more enduring
record than is here ensured. The pris-
oners themselves were completely over
whelmed with gratitude, and not one
that left that noble ship failed to bear
away with him memories that doubtless
now are Lighting up the dark hours that
necessarily invest their livcs.-Charles-
ton Courier. .---
The Chronicle &c .ScAtincl, commenting
on the above, says: "Wc feel gratiiied
at being able to contribute our mite to
wards immortalizing this noble act of a
noble man. 1t is what we term, i'll the
South, chivalry," no matter how much
our Northern brethren may sneer at the
term and the attribute. The niggardly
and inhuman policy of the Government
and its officials would have confined
these poor prisoners between the decks
and left them exposed to the merciless
severity of the weather, regardless
whether the victims lived or died. With
true chivalrousness, without caring what
the crime or who the criminals, but onlf
seeing fellow men in distress, the gallant
Captain Lockwood ministered to their
wants and provided for their comfort
All honor to the noble sailor

This section of country was visited yes
terday morning with a heavy frost, which
it is feared has been very damaging to ear
ly vegetation and fruit The mercury at
daylight was down to29 degrees, and we
hear of ice formations in some localities
nearly an eighth of an inch thick. We
conversed with persons from different por-
tions of the county and ascertain that no
one spot has. been favored, the frost being
general. In one location, we hear of adj
yanced wheat being very, naterially dam
aged, and from another quarter we hear
that all the fruit is killed, and then again
we are told that beans, potatoes and other
early vegetables have been ruined, but the
foliage on the trees protected the fruit. The
straw berry beds in the vicinity. of Nash
vile we are told have been greatly injured,
and in some places plums, peaches and ap.
Piles have been destroyed. The accoun is
received from this frost are rather gloomy
but we hope not as bad as anticipated

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Since my last

fruit crop in this section, we have had a
very heavy frost with some freezing,
which has been very destructive to, the
fruit crop. My Information is thatthe en-
tire fruit crop in this part of the country is
thought to be killed. On the low lands the
leaves Of the forest are even killed by the
frost. Much damage has been done to the
early garden vegetation.
Our citizens are becoming somewhat in
terested in question, which presented it
self to our County Court at its last term,
looking forward to the re-diStricting of the
county into civil districts. Owing to the
Inconvenience of the voting places in some
of the precincts, and a dissatisfaction
which predominates in some localities in
the county, itappears to be foregone con-
clusion that something will have to be
done by the County Court at an early day.
been presented to the court for considera.
ton, some of which will no doubt be urged
to the full extent of the law.
| 1t was suggested to the County Court at
its last term that the cost of redistricting
the county need not exceed one hundred
and fifty dollars. If the work can be
property done for that amount, we say by
all means let it be done, although we are
of the opinion it will take much larger
amount. .....,. So,

DR.. Samuel Anderson, of this place, was

has been comparatively neglected, we hope
much will be done in the future to redeem
us from the unenviable condition
