In answer TO a question last night
regarding the use of cobble pavement
in nice macadam roads, Mr. Sewell of
the trolley company stated that the
company would gladly use macadam
| instead Of macadam in all places
| where the grade is not over
two per cent. but such ma
terial would not stand in sleeper
| grades. In wet weather water would
run along the rails and rip it to
| pieces. This matter was brought UP
by Mr. Murray, who thought it a pity
to put cobbles in Baldwin street,
which he considers the best roadway
in the city at the present time with
the exception of the paved streets.

Mr. Wells has charge of the tobacco
| plantation of the American Sumatra
Tobacco company and says he likes
| the business. The prospect for a
good crop this year is bright, but you
never can tell what is going to hap
pen. The weather has everything to
do with the weed and probably just
about the time it is ripe and about to
] be harvested something happens that
spoils the greater portion of it. Last
fall a hailstorm riddled $4,000 worth
! of the finest tobacco leaves ever seen
1 in the state and the company had to
| dispose of 1t at a big sacrifice. MI
| Wells looks as young as he used TIC
when he was a power in local politics
and his party invariably turned to
| him for counsel.
