Rates Going Bail for Prisoners.
There are two Cinnamon and
one in particular who are better
known about the police station
than even a great many of the en-
ployees. These two gentlemen are
Yin On and All Kwai, the former
being the one best known to the
jailor.
At any hour of the day or night
these Chinese gentlemen may be
looked for in the receiving station.
They never say much but stand
about with their hands in their
pockets looking for trade. And
their trade is to rescue unfortunate
countrymen from the iron bars of
a station house cell by putting up
the requisite amount OF bail.
After the arrival of Chinese
prisoner a very short time elapses
before one OF the "bailers" appears
on the scene and tries to make
himself agreeable by smiling,
which action very often produces
the opposite effect.
How they become cognizant of
the fact that Chinaman has
been taken prisoner is mystery,
for very often the unlucky one is
hardly given time to put on his hat
let alone hold converse with any of
his friends.
When Yin On or All Kwai has
ascertained the amount necessary
to bail out an unfortunate he holds
parley with him and usually
reaches satisfactory conclusion.
Following are some of their
terms: One dollar for putting up
S12, such as in the case of a gam
bier; $50 for putting up s25,
such as in the case OF assault and
battery; IS for putting up $50, and
81 for putting up $500.
When questioned as to how bus
mess is getting along they put on
long faces and say that they are in
severe straits all the time, but it is
a noteworthy fact that they make
no attempt to enter any other line
of business and always carry rolls
of ''long green" in their pockets
such as would delight the eye of
bunco-steerer. They smoke the
best of cigars and wear fine
clothes. They have a keen eye to
business and do their best to have
the cases OF Chinamen discharged
in the Police Court, in order that
their fees may be larger.
They also have few tricks which
they employ when necessary. fit
is profitable for them to know any,
thing they know all about it, but if
not they are singularly dense. If
told by a police officer to communi-
cate something to Chinese prison
er it is very probable the words
will be twisted out of shape. This
may be on account OF imperfection
of knowledge of English and Ha-
waiian, but observation gives an
other construction.
he two Cinnamon have been in
the business of professional bail
goers for about two years, and as
there is no law against it they will
probably continue.

This tobacco will be marketed
somewhere.
Will that. somewhere be Colds
boro?
The business men of Colds
boro can answer the question for
themselves, SO far as large part
of the crop in this section of the
State is concerned. If this town
is to be a tobacco market there
must be more warehouses and
prize houses for handling the
crop to advantage.
No other town in Eastern Cars
olina is as favorably situated as
is Goldsboro, but it requires
something else besides location
to make a town.
Last summer our people got
together to inaugurate new
era in our town-to make Colds
boro tobacco market. They
made a magnificent beginning.
To resolve was but to do, and in
few weeks a tobacco warehouse
was thrown open to the farmer.
But we must not stop here.
