Columbia State, Wednesday: No
body hears the rattle of poker chips
on Main street and there are very few
who can say that at Is easy to get a
drink in Columbia" It is easy to get
a drink in Columbia II one knows
the ropes" but a stranger in the
square meal town" would not find
the clinking glasses, the restaurants
with their screen doors In the rear,
and signs blazoned on the white way
as a guide to the thirsty. Visitors to
the city are perfectly safe and will not
be insulted by the offer Of alcoholic
stimulants should they go to a res
taurant on Main street in Columbia.
Investigations have shown that at no
restaurant on the principal thorough
fare can whisky be obtained and
there is a standing order that drink
ing Is not allowed either at the table
or in the kitchen. Walters in some
Of these restaurants know where to
get the "stimulants," but permission
must be obtained to drink anything
brought in and permission is refused
IL a lady is present. On the block be-
tween Lady and Washington streets
on Main street there are four hall
ways kept open until midnight, and
sometimes until one o'clock. On the
second floor stranger, IL properly
directed, would face a pine counter
bar and the man behind said pine
counter would serve said stranger with
q drink Of so-called whisky or beer.
The beer is taken from an ice box.
the whisky Is taken from a shelf and
the water, served free with the whis-
ky, is taken from a cooler. In some
of these places there are lemons,
cigarettes and towels. On the block
there is not a pool table and no rae
ing charts, although 1t is stated by
those who have kept up with the
"ponies" in the City by the Sea, 1t is
possible to place bets by telephone or
telegraph or by word Of mouth at q
resort opposite the Skyscraper where
some newspapers and soft drinks are
sold There Is very little doing on AS
sembly street, If open games are con-
sidered signs Of prosperity. During
the gathering of the horsemen al
most anybody (anybody means those
who do not wear blue coats or the
signs of authority could stroll up
stairs over q livery stable not far from
Lady street and place their bets If
strollers understood the game. Now,
however, the place Is dark and those
who wish to back a high or low card
or care to play the festive wheel are
in Charleston or elsewhere where the
sport Of kings" Is feature. Prob
ably the best equipped club, or place
where drinks can be obtained, in the
city is on Washington street, not far
from the Carolina National bank.
This club is comfortably fitted, mis-
sion furniture being the design, and
there is little difficulty in getting not
drinks with cherries on the side. 1t
has been raided several times when
the clubs on Main street were taken
in, but seems to be a paying PROPOSE
ton. No games are conducted there,
and the place Is chartered. On upper
Main street, not far from the post
office, there Is another club, we'll fur
nished and equipped, supplying the
other than straight
whisky or cold beer. With the ex-
ception of four places on Main street,
between Lady and Washington streets,
a place on Washington street, not far
from Main, a place on Main street,
not far from the postoffice, nothing
was found that might be called Often
sive These places are on the second
floor of buildings occupied; no gam
bling was seen, and the equipment
seemed to be crude, and in the Ian
guage of prohibition territory were
