w TO THE TOWN.

We have been Informed by the con
missioncrs to get upa NrwncrrA county
exhibit at the Charleston Exposition
that they have done MI thattu cnuiC,
and the exhibits have been secured ana
can be got together and loaded on
the cars within ten days. But thi>
will take some money, and money il
what is now needed.
Some time ago the county commits
sioncrs appropriated $500 on the part
Of the county for this purpose, bat itH
payment WAS made conditional upon
the consent OF the Legislature. The
exhibit commissioners Inform us that
they have seen ma ajority OF the New
berry delegation and all seen so f"l
will favor the consent OF the lrEisla-
turc being given, and there is no doubt
that it will be secured; but the county
refuses to pay over shc money until
this consent has actually been gwen.
This money will be secured some time
in January, but, according to the com
missioncrs, it will only be about hall
enough.
Now what the commissioners desire
Is that's tho town appropriate like
amount, or ms much as possible, for this
purpose. The representative of the
commissioners appointed by them l'
work up the exhibit, and take charge
OF it, has seen most OF the principal
business men Of the city, and says they
arc unrescrvedly in favor Of this "l-
preparation being made by the town.
The responsibility for the success ct
our exhibit at the Charleston ENposi~
tion now rest with the town council
and we await with interest their action.
Much depends upon the exhibit, an6
the exhibit depends upon the councI!
II is now up to the town.
Since writing the above we have
learned that the county commissioners
have decided TO give the ladies hall "i
this appropriation, and that Mr.. lliS
gins, the gentleman appointed hy the
commissioners to take charge Of the
not get together its exhibit without all
this amount and more besides, has ir-
signed.
We hope The matter will soon he
settled in some way, for after all the
efforts that have been made. the
county should not be allowed to be
without an exhibit at the Exposition.
II the ladies can see their way clear to
get along without this money, We
hope they will consider tho advisable =
ity Of letting it go to help the county
exhibit, for this is of the greatest i'm
portance, and in an exhibit Of the lv-
sources and industries Of the county
the ladies will be we'll represented.
However, Ncwbcrry county must have
the exhibit, and we believe if the money
can be secured in no other way the
business men Of the town will contri.
butte it il the matter is put before them
in the proper light.

ON A MISSION OF MURDER.
Startling Story reia hy Gresh Assrshiss-
Was selected To xiii -
AneFfran.

New York. Jan. 2t.-Elias Masura5,
Greek. the complainant in an as
sault case which came before City Judge
Kellogg. Of fonkers. y. ". yesterday
morning. told q startling tale of a
plot of Greek anarchists to kill prom
inent Americans. and would have told
more had the court not stopped him
and then turned him over TO the po-
lice that they might quietly investi-
gate the case. Several arrests have
already been made and others
planned.
On the stand Masuras said that in
Greece he had been n member of an
anarchist society. Some time ago il
fell to his lot to kill a public man in
the United States. and he was ordered
to come to this country and place
himself under the orders of the Amer
icar branch of the society. He never
heard the name of the man whom he
was to murder and understood that,
as IN other cases, the man who was
to be the victim. was TO be selected af-
ter his arrival in this country.
After reaching America. Masuras.
according to his own story, went TO
Icnkers and affiliated himself with
branch OF the organization there n.
well as one in New York. Finally he
became frightened. Withdrew and re-
fused to carry out the mission in
trusted to him.
From the time he left the organiza-
tion he claims he was ANNOYED and
threatened by members OF the so
ciety. He rem med firm in his de-
termination not to obey the orders,
however. and Saturday six of the men
came here and begged him to return.
When he still refused, one of the six,
which one he could not say. attempt
ed to stab him. The blow was aimed
too high. however.
Masurss was apparently willing tn
tell more about the society. but Judge
Kellogg adjourned the hearing and
committed the prisoner to Jail pend.
ing further examination.
Masuras was examined by the po-
lice, and as n result the warrants
were issued. Joseph and James Kip.
taukas AMI Frank Hestaigus were ar.
rested by the police
One other Yonker's man and two
New Workers are named on other war
rants, and the police are searching for
them. The police assert that they be
lieve the story told by Masuras. and
they say that the affair has led TO the
discovery of m anarchist band of I
dangerous character.
