EXPOSITION COMMIsSIONERs.
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.

Mr. Lee about the middle of the roon

that Mr. Lee was in the house lying or

called Mr. McD. Metts, then he cal(
over immediately and we found him
still lying on the tloor.
I saw Mr. Lee at his store on the 11t
day of April about II o'clock and that
is the last I saw him alive.
Mr. Lee told me that a jug of whis
key was at the depot and that hc
wanted me to -get it out and take i
home with me and bring it to him ot
the night of the 11th day of April, 1001,
I did not bring it to him for fear that
people would think that I was conceal
ing whiskey for Mr. Lee. I intended
to send the jug to Mr. Lee, but, no ont
came by, by whoim I could send it. ]
took a drink out of the jug. Mr. Let
told me I could drink some of the whis.
key. I don't think that more than hali
of the whiskey is gone. The jug wa
supposed to contain one gallon of whis
key wvhen I broke the seal. I took thc
