MINORS MUSTN'T PLAY POOL.
Council Passes Ordinance Making 1t
an Offense for Them to Do So.

Council Passes Ordinance Making 1t
an Offense for Them to Do So.
There was already city ordinance
against proprietors of pool rooms
allowing minors to punch the worries
in their places, and at a meeting of
the council Wednesday night a COM
paniOn ordinance was passed making
it an Offense for minors ito play
billiards or pool in such places.
The latter ordinance is the result
of developments at the recent trial
of the prOprietors of the pool rooms
in the city for permitting minors in
their places, the evidence showing
that youths, in order to play, had
represented that they were ri years
of age. The new ordinance is as
follows:
BE it ordained by the City Coun-
ell of Dawson, and it is hereby or
dained by authority of the same,
that from and after the passage of
this ordinance it shall be unlawful
for any minor to play pool or enter
any place where such game is car
ried on in the city of Dawson. Any
violation of this ordinance shall be
punished as is prescribed in section
100 of the city code. Done at reg
ular meeting of the City Council of
Dawson, this January 4th, 1911.

GOOD BASKET BALL GAMES
Mercer Team Here Thursday Night,
and Team From Columbus Is
Expected FRIDAY Night.

MERCER 1eam Here Thursday Night,
and Team From Columbus Is
Expected Friday Night.
Did you see that game of basket
ball between the Mercer and the
Dawson High School teams at Ath-
letic Hall Friday night? There was
some class to that playing.
The Dawson boys put up the best
game they have yet played. They
played hard and fast from start to
finish, though the odds were heavily
against them. The Mercer team had
considerable advantage in weight
and also in the fact that they had
been coached by a professional. The
game was arranged for the training
it would give the home team with
but little hope of winning. The Mer-
Ger boys were in fine shape, and the
manager said they showed up better
in the game here than in any they
had played. He also stated that the
! crowd of spectators was about doub-
lie what they had played before at
any other place. This goes to show
that Dawson is a live town when it
comes to backing a live team. All
in all the game was a fine advertise
ment for Dawson and it's high school.
The Mercer boys have already been
trying to get some of the local team
| in their school for the coming year.
Dawson did well to hold the Mercer
bunch to score of AZ while making
ten points themselves.
The next game will be played here
Friday night against the second team
of the Columbus Y M. c. A. Basket
ball has made Columbus famous, and
the home fans may expect to see
some fast playing when the boys
from the Electric City show up.
/ The game in Albany last Friday
night was simply an aggravated case
of over-confidence, and resulted in
/ the disastrous score of 10 to 13 in
favor of Albany. The Dawson boys
only a few nights before beat the
Albany team so to 4. A little dose
of "18 to 10, however, is good for
the 'over-confidence malady," and
the local bunch has recovered suffi-
GENTLY to put the zero tincture to the
Albanians in the near future.

CHANGED AUTOMOBILE LAW

Tigers and Pistol Toting. Force
full Charge to Grand Jury.
Terrell superior court, which was
adjourned from November, convened
Monday morning, and promises to
be busy several days yet, perhaps
through most of next week, turning
out legal grist.
The grand jury was organized with
Hon. S. r. Christie as foreman, E.
S. Pinkston and T. w Martin as
secretaries, and B. H. Brown as bail
if. Judge Worrill's charge to this
body was unusually forceful and i'm
pressiVe and was heard with much
interest by the large crowd in the
court room. Besides covering the
usual subjects he called special at
tention to the new law governing the
running of automobiles on the pub
lie highways, and stressed the fact
that public roads were made pri-
marily for people who travel on foot
or in wagons and burgies in the
ordinary pursuits of life and not
for reckless joy riders. He said that
should an automobile driver in a
public road not stop when requested
to do so on meeting team that is
frightened it would be a violation
of the criminal laws and make the
party liable to prosecution. The
evils of the Illegal sale of whiskey
and the carrying of concealed weap-
ons were also stressed and their
suppression urged.
Monday was taken up in the trial
of a small civil suit that had been
on the docket several years, and the
trial of civil cases continued through
Tuesday.
The criminal docket will very
likely be taken up some time today
or tomorrow.
