The Atlanta (Georgia) Constitution newspaper runs a feature headlined Down In The Dancehalls Of Decatur Street, which declares that, "It is at night, when the work of the day is done and cares and troubles are thrust away, that the darkey finds his true enjoyment, and nothing gives him more pleasure than a dance. Next to the dance comes the pool table with the city negro. It is said that those who have conducted dance halls and run pool halls in the city for the negroes have laid aside considerable fortunes".
