MINKAKWANS dine.
Jolly Gathering Of Members
Of Both Parties in
Greenville.

Last night the MlnkakWd Niup "a
Greenville abandoned politics and turned
its attention toward entertaining the
large number of braves who were the
guests of the club at its annual dinner.
The event was held at Belvedere Hall.
as usual, and ''mein host Zeugner, who
provided the good things and saw that
the walters came not too frequently and
served each guest at least once, was
as happy as a clam at high tide. 1t is
seldom that Mr.. Zeugner shelters such
distinguished company and his short
comings were generously overlooked.
Everything was forgotten, i'm fact, when
the Red Snapper a la Zeugner was
brought In steaming and hot. This dish
is Mr.. Zeugner's strong point. and no
one who has Dartaken of it can deny
that the Ike of it cannot be produced
in Greenville.
The tables were set in the large hall
and when the doors were opened and
Itha guests took tie places assigned
them, the committee in charge found
that 1t met with even greater success
than it had anticipated. Every seat
was occupied and a lumber of guests
were left for the time being unprovided
for. Tables were soon secured, however,
and placed in the most convenient places.
The assemblage was not much of a Re-
publican affair. there being almost as
many Democrats as Republicans present.
President Michael Schultz, Jr., who
presided over the happy gathering, sat at
the head of the table. On his right
were Mayor Wanser, Flavel MCGEE,
Adam Reid and Fire Commissioner Mills.
The places ait his left were occupied by
Finance Commissioners J. j. Detwiller,
Reuben Simpson. and Street and Water
Commissioner Harding. The menu was
all thai could be expected and was pre-
pared in Herr Zeugner's best style.
THERE WE'RE NO SPEECHES.
Those who expected to enjoy an in
tellectual feast were disappointed. The
Minkakwas made a new departure.
Speeches were tabooed, and an enjoy
able entertainment was provided instead.
The change proved an agreeable one:
