An other darky came in and asked the price of tobacco. “Eight cants a plug,” said Man. “I can’t give that,” said the darkey. “I usually sell them three plugs for a quarter when a man wants that much.” said Man. “Well, I’ll take three plugs,” and with that handed him a qnarter, picked up the tobacco and walked out.
