BOYS IN BILLIARD OR POOL ROOMS. Camdeu is the latest of tin many municipalities that havi enacted laws prohibiting minor from playing billiards or pool n public places or Irom loitering ii the rooms where such games an played. The Camden ordinance is now being published in tin local papers, and its first sectioi is as follows: Section 1. That from and afte the passage of this Ordinance i shall be unlawful for any nuno: under eighteen years ol age t< enter and loiter in any billiart or pool room in the City of Cam den, S. C., for the purpose o playing billiards or pool, or anj other game therein, or ol watch lag any other person play suet games or uu\ other therein. The succeeding sections mak< it a criminal offense tor the pro prietor or manager of a billiarc or pool room to permit a mino to enter his place oi business fo the purpose ol playing games o any kind or to watch other.-' play a violation ot the ordinance be ing punishable with a maximun line of $40 or imprisonment i?? not more than ten days. Th third section declares as a nui sance any billiard or pool root) in which minors are allowed t( loiter or to play games. Lancaster would do well v pass a similar ordinance. Hov; have no business in public poo or billiard halls. While tin ^uiiira a* c 11111 t rm cm Ui.il 11 themselves, and ihough there are now no bar-rooms in thiiStale, thank heaven, toe present generational least will always associate in mind public billiard and pool tables wi'h whi-key 3a loons, ol which in days gone by they formed what seemed to be an indispensable part. Besides, participating in Mich James in public places, or hanging around while men are playing, not only encourages idleness ?n boys, but the, are liable at times to hear language winch i- anything but elevating fr m a moral -'andpoint. All men. unfortunately, .. r..i ,1.^.. UOfc U't'tJiU! u u i j ? :m mc> flay in ihe presence of boys. Would thar we were ail more like brvan in this matter, who not only refrains trom the use ol vulvar laiiktua^e himseli. but does not tolerate it m others , particularly in the presence of boys, as is well illustrated in the following incident related a lew rtavs n.ffo bv the Binzhamton o ^ Presa: THE L Last winter, when William 1 Jenniuga Bryan was here, he attended an informal reception, . tor men only. He had told a number of clean, witty stories, when suddenly a man, a Strang er, edged through the crowd . and began to joke with Mr. Bryan. Nothing waa thought ot jj this, aa it was a game of couyer- i i> national give and take. Suddenlv trom the lips of the stranger 1 iinrn fn'1 ?i oiturln oao rcn rum or If v?'U" U IU 1 ? ll^iu ivinuttt r The Commoner's jaw set like a steel trap, and his eves 9iiap,, ped. The stranger was quickly ~ hustled out of the room. "He was a stranger, Mr. Bryif ail," said one present, "and had 11 no business here. We beg your n pardon for this occurrence.'' kl "Never mind me," said Mr. lf Bryan, his eyes softening. "The man's ill judged remark did me no harm, and I know he had no \ business here, but?" pointing to a lad of 15 years, who was - watching the scene and waiting for a handshake?"it vas uot - just the sort ot speech or the laddie to hear." 0 All sorts of queer thiugi are ^ reported as happening in liock Hill. According to one of the ex1 celleut newspapers in that city, a storm occurred there the ot'ier (lay in which the peals of thunder preceded the lightniug Hashes. What next ? e We are indebted to Col. H. G. Mcllwain. the well known tor, tner Lancastrian who cast his lot r with Rock Hill a lew years ago, ) and wfjo is now doing his level 1 best to help keep that town " straight, for a picture of ''Rock | Hill's Electric Railway," which came to hand day be* t* y?ateii j day. The aforesaid picture is the representation of what looks 3 1 like a small cauarv.bird cai*e on -- w " j rollers, sitting way out in an I' open prairie, with a couple ol r.old nrtiles, both sound asleep, r; attached to one end?ot the cage. 1 we mean?not of the prairie. , Between the sleeping team and - tire cage,and at a safe distance i, trom the heels ol the lormer, ri stands a solemn-visaged indivie cual ot unknown color. The - entire outfit might easily be lost t under a merry widow fiat. The 3 oniy possible basis, foundation or excuse for the <-K'eclric" "?,part of the high-sounding name, - we learn, is tlie fact that one of 1 the old mules is called "'Lee*' - and the other "Trie".
