s.The State Democratic Executive
Committee" met 10 the senate chamber
at 8:20 last night
1t was generally known that there
would be trial of strength between
Senators Irby aud Tillman as to whether
or not tests Of Democracy should be re-
quired 10 the reorganization club meet
logs, aud the interest was great. There
we're but two absentees, and as it was
understood the proceedings would be
open, large number of citizens we're
present.
State Chairman Iby called the meet
ing to order Before ordering the roll
call he made statement. as follows
IL have thought It best to call a
meeting Of the CON nnlttee-'he guard
ians aud trustees Of the Democratic
party-for two reasons:
First, this is Presidential year. and
there is some ambiguity 10 the constltu-
ton as TO tee ;ime TOR holding club
meetings This is the most important
matter that has come before the execu-
tive committee on Presidential year
since '76 I hope you will c0nssrue
that section Of the Constitution and fix
The time foc holding club meetipgs-
saw on the FIRST Monday in May, and
the State convention will be hello Oh the
third Wednesday in May.
The second reason was one, said Sen
ator Irby. ;aa: is of vital Importance to
the Democracy Of the State and nation.
He made reference to the work of the
executive committee ln rs, when
.Judpe Haskell was chairman : named
she distinguished predecessors IN bis
Office from that year until 1890, when
he had been put at the head OF the COM
mittee. The committee in all those
years had worked for the best interests
of the party and had secured and main,
tanned an honest State government
was this committee going to fail toe
party at this time; was this committee
going to ignore the threatening danger
urtil it was too late
"We are here to-rigbt-it is no us'
to dodge it. no use to wink at i've
are here tonight as Democrats OF a
bolters. We are here as the successor
Of the Democratic party of '96. W.
have reached a crisis. Under othe
circumstances I might not mention
some Of the things am going to allud
to. but feel it my duty to do SO. We
and especially myself, took this ma
ch;pery in 1890 under the promise tia
we were Democrats and would RENAL
Democrats. If we remain true to that
let us see that the party is fortified an
protected.

THE KICKHD-0UT Kick
Greenville Republican Leaguers
Pillory the Minks at
Their Meeting Last
Night.

The Greenville Republican League Club
met last evening in the clubhouse on Dam
forth avenue. Very little business was
transacted and the proceedings We're quiet
put for the arrangement of the Minkakwa
Cup n the statement made at their
last meeting. This statement was to the
ERECT that a resolution which was framed
to prevent any member of the Minkakwa
Club from holding membership in any
other political club at the same time, has
lain on the table for the period of two
years.
The Minks at their last meeting decided
to take this resolution from the table in
order to defeat it and remove every OBJ
stacle to their members being also On the
ROLL of the u. S. Grant Club. Several of
the members are and have since its organ
ization been members of the U. S. Grant
Mr.. Charles r. Bennett brought the at
tention Of the League Gu to the newspa-
per reports of this move Of the brother ()
organization.

ton had at that time been voted Upon

move it. Petty criticized the Minkakwas

No official action was taken by the club
in the matter. although those present were
quite worked up over it. One or two of
the members. who were expelled from the
Minkakwa Club for their connection with
the Greenville Republican League Club,
may attend the meeting Of the former club
next Monday evening. They will be re-

The Ways and Means Committee was
instructed to adopt some means of in
creasing the membership and %enlivening
the interest in the club. That committee
advised in its report last night giving a
series of smokers for members only,
the expense to be met by voluntary con
tributions. The special committee on ar

Simple Little Tricks with which 10
Entertain Young Folk at Home.

Entertain YOuDg Folk at Home.
Here is a list of simple tricks in home
magic:-
A Dancing Pea-Take a pea and pierce
it at right angles with two pins deprived
of their heads. Let one pin be inserted
in the end of a long clay pipe, and
then, holding it perpendicuIarly, blow
gently through the bowl. The pea will
then dance in a most amusing manner
To Make Water Burn Words on Paper
Let some write in large hand, with a
camel hair brush dipped in water. on a
sheet of writing paper. then put a small
piece of potassium on the first letter. 1t
will fame and run along the whole word,
burning the paper as 1T goes.
Animated Fire-When small pieces of
camphor are placed in a basin of water
a very Isculiar motion commences; some
thus they continue to play antics. If the

push a ring half through the shell, and
afterward steep the egg In water till it
it will always excite wonder in the
minds of the uninitiated.
Magician's Sand-,This sand is SO call
out becoming, wet: A famous magician
once sent a handful of the sane to a
great chemist; telling him that if he put
that 1t might be removed at the end Of
an hour and would be found to be per-
fectly dry. This eerplexed the chemist
very much. being qsite contrary to ma
ture, and all the more SO, as the sand
could not be explained BY science at ali.
This so astonished and annoyed the great
philosopher that he at last gave the
clan to explain to him how it was done.
This was the reply: place a clean iron
silver sand as deemed proper; allow it
to remain there until it IS hot enough to
slightly brown a card used for stirring
it. Now, to every quart of sand en-
ployed. add a piece of lard or tallow the
size of a hazel nut; mix it well within
the and continuing the heat for two or
three minutes, and it is finished. When
cold this is the maglcian'ss sand and can
not be wet When properly prepared
the sand.-Philadelphia Press.
