Tho Work of Col. Tribble.
Columbia correspondence News ana
Courier: AS has been mentioned, Col.
M. P. Tribble has established an off1ce
in the State House for the purpose OF
preparing the Confederate records OF
the state for publication by the war
department. He has appointed Mr.. L.
]. Pyles to assist him and already ne
has received much assistance IN thls
most important. work. The records
now in possession Of the state are very
incomplete and great dependency has
to be placed on individual aid In get
ting up a complete roll. The act OF
congress requires that the original
records be used, but in the case or this
state and others this Is utterly impos-
sible, as so many Of them were de-
stroyed by reason Of Shermans RAID
and other causes. This fact has oeen
called to the attention Of the secretary
of war and Gen. Aimsworth. who has
this matter especially in charge. They
have suggested that the various state
commissioners write and petition con-
gress to change the law in this res
pect. 1t has been decided to hold
meeting of such commissioners soon to
take up this matter, as we'll as others
In connection with 1t. The commits
sioners to participate are Tribble, Of
South Carolina: Gambler, Of Georgia;
Owens, Of Alabama, and Dixon, OF
North Carolina. Col. Tribble already
has Ss,6Os names on his list, but there
are a great many repetitions, as the
number was not much more than 65,-
900. The heavy part of the work Is IN
the revising and collecting the rolls he
already has.

DANGEROUS PETs.-The concern with
which the citizens Of certain North
Carolina town are watching one of
their neighbors. who recently brought
a pair of boll-weevils from Texas in a
bottle, shows how we'll the world has
learned the lesson taught by the series
of beasts, birds and bugs that have
overrun the more newly settled coun-
tries. The North Carolinians strange
pets were imported by him as mere
curiosities, and are harmless and gen.
tie enough in their present abode; but
so long as they live. the cottonfield
owners are nervous. IF he turns them
loose" says one newspaper, with par
donable hyperbole, "he will be mob
bed" Something of this spirit in days
gone by would have saved the farmers
of the country many millions of dol
lars a year. The German mercenaries
in Revolutionary times brought the
Hessian fly in their horses fodder. the
gypsy moth was turned loose" on
New England, and the danger was not
realized till too late. The first step in
an effective quarantine against disease
or parasite is the arousing of public
opinion, and in the case of the black
beetle Of the southwest this has GER
tainly been accomplished.-New York

THE BRITISH In SoMALILAND.-Major
General Charles Egerton, who has
been In command of the Punjaub from
tier forces since 1899, has been ap-
pointed to the command Of the Somali-
land expedition army force, which Is
operating against the Mad Mullah, su-
perseding Brig. Gen. w. H. Manning.
Gen. Manning, who took command OF
the British expedition In Somaliland
last November, after a reverse suffered
by Col. Swayne, has not proved sue
cessful In his campaign. Columns de-
tached from the force have been badly
mauled by the Mullah's followers, the
most serious British. defeat being the
ambushing Of Col. Plunket's flying de-
tachment Of 208 men, with two Max
inns, on April II, when Col. Plunket, all
his officers and practically the entire
force were wiped out.
The last advices received In Lon
don, June 16, were to the effect that
Gen. Manning himself was surrounded
and unable to assist Col. Cobb, whose
column was in a serious position at
Callady and on half rations. One OF
the causes of the non-success Of the
expedition has been the cowardice OF
the native Somali regiment, of which
so much was hoped when it was form
ed recently. Only few days ago
news came that the native camel
corps had mutinied. The operations
against the Mullah, who first raised
the tribes against the British in 1899
have already cost $2,000,000. desire
has been manifested to abandon the
campaign, but in view Of the predica-
ment Of Gen. Manning's forces 1t has
been found necessary to order British
troops from India, and when they ar

Indian troops and 1000 natives.
