THE MISSING ROLLS.
COL. THOMAS APPEALS TO PRESS
AND PUBLIC.
History Incomplete without Them-UR-
less Interest Is Taken in the Matter Now

History Incomplete without Them-Un-
less Interest Is Taken in the Matter Now
They May be Forever Lost.
Col. John P. Thomas has issuea the
following appeal to the public in ref
ererce to missing rolls:
70 the Press of South Carolina and
tie General Public:
/ have an appeal to make to the pa-
triotism and pride Of the press Of the
State in which I have confidence, and
to our people in general.
Upon assuming this Office I find
many rolls missing. Ny first duty is
to secure these rolls, if possible. The
complete rolls and accompying rec
orGs of the troops from South Carroll
na that engaged in the war between
the states was the primary purpose Of
the legislation creating and continu-
i~e this Office.
ih;S is the foundation of the histor-
io ediEce hat the State Historian may
be commissioned to build. There can
he no superstcucture of history until
rs foundation is veil laid with not
a stsN missing. There ought to be
none B,.tar no history than that
there should be missing the rolls OF
gallant companies from the military
Confederate record Of South Carolina.
1 appeal to the press to extend this
notice throughout the State, and I es
pscislly urge the county press to hel,,
n this business to the best Of its abil-
ty. We have had our Iliad. No mac
With Houeric aspirations can proeee<>
to relate the story until the Catos are
supplied.
Nor is our appeal to the press only.
It is addressed to all the men and ali
the women in the State who have
Confederate interest. And I further
call upon all parsons to whom the late
General Farley, my predecessor, con-
ided rolls, or sketches to return the
same to this Office without delay.
South Carolina was the first to lead
eff in the war for states rights. Let
her not be the last to put upon record
the noble services of her devoted SOL
diers. John P. Thomas.
