liquid tar and setting fire to the mixture. A
dense mass of smoke arises, but that doesn't

THE CONFEDERATE ROLLS.
What Gallant Soldier Has to Say Of
Historian and Printer.
Greenville Noun taineer

It gives US real pleasure to commend the
last official act of Governor Evans, which was
a message sent to the Legislature urging the
com mpletion of the Confederate records, and
which will require only a small appropria-
tiou from the treasury. What he says about
General Farley and his work Is literally true
and we join most heartily insthe plea OF Cows
ernor Evans for an adequate appropriation 70;
meet the expenses OF this valuable work. X
Mr.. Wilson has done the printing in excel
lent style, and at figures that would put al
most any other concern into bankruptcy. No
printing office in the State would bid against
him for the completion of the job, and he Is
justly entitled TO the contract. A personal in
spection of the work he has done and OF the
material purchased by him expressly for this
Job, which will be almost useless to him after
1t Is finished, enables US to speak advisedly In
regard to this matter. The Legislature ought
TO make the necessary appropriation without
the slightest hesitancy. as the en- tire labor is
being performed by historian and printer at
a valuation of their services akin to the time
when they were doing duty as ragged rebels
