A Pinn for getting up an Exhibit decided Upon-Much Interest Manifest. The commissioners of the South Care lina and West Indian exposition for Newberry County held a meeting last Friday night at the office of President M. A. Carlisle of the National Bank. A fter discussing the best means of raising the necessary funds it was de c,ided to place subscription list in each town and elsewhere in the county, so that every citizen might have the privilcdge of contributing something, be it ever so little, that the sum of $1,000 may be raised. TPhis money will be used to establish an offee in the town of Newberry which will be in charge of some one who will receive all exhibits and will get them ready for shipment and also to pay some one to stay in Charleston and look after the Newberry County exhibit, during the exposition. Col. Thomas W. Holloway has con sented "to write a history of the coun ty and its resources." A list of articles for the exhibit will be gotten up by the committee and presented to the commissioner at their next meeting. Newborry has at her command every. thing necessary to make the finest county exhibit at the great exposition. Her citizens will not stand idly by and make no show of her advantages, let ting other counties take the lead but, as they have ever done respond gen erously not only with her resources, but also with their finances. The commissioners of themselves can do nothing, but every citizen who has the interest of the county at heart should lend a hand and when all pull together the wheels of success are easily put in motion.. Those who were present at the meet ing headed the list with generous sub scdJtions. Don't fail to get your name on thhAet. Look ou or Purcell & Scott's P ' ces.
