Dolllver Nat ■ Botanist.
Senator Dolllver of lowa Is credited
with knowing a good many thlnga, but,
as a friend said of him once, "he is
rocky on hfetsny." This fact came to
light when he was stumping the state
with Senator Clapp. At a Swedish set
tlement some one hsuded up a splendid
bunch of dahlias to the platform. Mr.
Dolllver turned to Clapp and whla-
Dered. "Wk«t „re these flower* any

the latter Instantly, Dolllver was not
altogether aure even then, so he made
no *|ieclal reference to the flowers,
■uspectlng that Clapp did not know
any more about botany than he did.
It was fortunate that he was thus
careful, for the dahlia is almost a sa

One of Wllliamston's Prom
inent Younu Lawyers.
The subject of this sketch was
horn in Franklin County, North
Carolina, September 6, 1878 Hi*
father was a Baptist minister and at
different times filled prominent
pastorates of influential churches
in the larger cities. For some
time he was in charge of a stroug
Missionary Baptist Church in
Charleston, South Carolina. He
was stationed at Wilson aud Wil
mington, North Carolina After
he became more advanced in yeais,
he purchased a farm about five
wiles east of Louisburg in Frank
lin County. H s mother was Sarah
Elizalieth Newell, who was Miss
Coppedge. Mr. Newell therefore
has in his veins good blood, which
shapes conduct and finally fixes
destiny. He was largely raised in
the country and knows a good deal
about rural life. He is the second
son of his parents, who studied
and practical law. Hi.- oldest
brother, after graduating located
in Williamston, where lie built up
a good practice during the five or
six years that he was here. He
has another brother who Is a very
successful physician at Louisburg
Dr. 11. A. Newell is in great de
mand in that section of the country
tor his professional service.
It is but natural that they all
should lie members of the Mission
ary Baptist church, of which their
father was an honored minister.
Mr. Newell's mother, to whom he
is greatly devoted is still living.
After preparing himself in the
common schools, Mr. Newell en
tend Wake Forest College in 1899.
His father being a highly educated
man impressed upon his children
the importance of a eollegiate ed
ucation. Mr. .Newell was for
tunate in availing himself ol col
lege training. He was graduated
from Wake Forest College in 1903.
He studied law there under Prof.
N. Y. Gulley. He came to Wil
liamston in 1903, immediately after
his graduation. For a short time
he was associated here with his
brother in the practice of law. Af
ter his brother's death, he struck
out on his own account. He has
been remurkably successful as n
lawyer. Ilr applies himself to his
tlooks and conducts his pto'ession
on a high plane. He will not do
a mean thing for compensation.
He associates with the best people
of the county and is large in his
conception of his duties to his
neighbor as a piofessional man.
He has purchased the office fortn
ily occupied by Dr. John D. Biggs,
which is the third door on the right
of Maiu Street, after leaving the
Bank of Martin County. It is a
wooden building, but is commo
dious and has every necessary ap
pointment for its uses. £ut we
would not be surprised to see a
brick building in its place in the
near future. There are some other
plans that Mr. Newell has, which
if carried into execution will be an
advantage to the town. Mr. New
ell takes, reads and pays for the
Enterprise. He practices law in all
thecourts. He gives special atten
tion to the examination of land ti
tles. He is agent and attorney for
the Wicomico Lumber Company,
which has its home offi-e at Liu
rel Del., a wealthy corporation.Mr.
Newell is a consistaut member of
the Baptist church in Williamston,
he is superintendent of his Sunday
school, he is on the Board of Trus
tees of church property. He is a
democrat, he has never married
but has a commendable inclination
in that direction. He is a christian
gentleman and has a hosts of
friends and admirers. His practice
increases each year and he has a
bright future before him. He has
no political aspiration, but it will
not surprise us if the good people
of Martin County demand his ser
vices in the future.

of good roads, aud baaed UJK>U facta
Instead of theories, says Uood Koadi
Mags sine. And while local condition*
rnry, the principle Involved—that Is,
the economy of easy transportation—la
applicable everywhere:
"I live upon the line of an Improved
read leading from Philadelphia to New
York, ten miles from the former place,
and before the road was Improved
twenty-live baskets of promiscuous
farm produce would make a big two
horse road. After the road was Im
proved the average load baa not been
leas than 100 baskets, soma farm era
taking as many as ISO haslets to a
load, but this last number Is exception
al; also before Improvement It would
take a team all day to make the round
trip of about twenty-three mllea to tha
heart of the city; since Improvement
It requires an average of about aeveu
hours. Now, aseumlng that a team and
driver would be worth 94 per day, tha
regular price here. It would coat 1«
cents per basket for a farmer to land
his produce In the market In the first

the latter, allowing the seven hours to

"It must be evldeut to every unprej
udiced observer that the farmer* to
this section would have been out of
business bad not the road bssn Im
proved.
"It must be evident also that tb«

ths c-tttMn consumer shares a part ol
It, for It often happeus during the glut
of ths season that farm produce selli

Is a sufflctent justification. I think, foi
asking ths clttss to hslp pay for Im
proving couutry roads. This Is tru«

uses or consumes. It can be delivered
to him much more cheaply over a good

HOW TO ÜBE A DRAG.
■•Si* Nl»l« n la»nvli( a Hl(k
kr tfce Klasr N«IM.
An Illinois highway commission hai
Issued a bulletin ou the spilt log. or
King drag, which contains these In
Mructloos for Its manipulation:
Make a light drag, which Is hauled
over the road at an augle so that s
small amount of earth Is pushed to th«
center of the road.
Drive die team at a walk.
"" do not walk along
Begin at oo« aide of tbe road or
wheel track, returning up tbe opposite
aide.
Drag tbe road a* noon -after every
rain aa possible, but not wben tbe mud
la In aucb a condition aa to atlck to the
drag.
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea
aona of tbe year. If a road la dragged
Immediately be font a cold spell It will
frsese In a smooth coitdltlon.
Tbe width of traveled wny to be
maintained liy tbe drug abould be froui
eighteen to twenty feet. Flrat drug n
little more tbau tbe width of a single
wheel track, then gradually Increase
until the desired width la observed.
Always drag a little earth toward the
center of the road until It la ralastl
from ten to twelve Inches above the
edgea of the traveled way.
Tbe amount of earth that tbe drag
will carry along can be very conalder
ably controlled by the driver, accord
Ingly aa he ntanda near the cutting
end or away from It.
Whan the roada are flrat dragged
after a very muddy apell the wagoni
abould drive. If poaalble, to oue aide
until tbe roadway haa a chance tc
frsece or partially dry out.
Tbe beat reaulta from dragging art
obtained only by repeated nppllcatlona.
Remember that conatant attention la
necessary to maintain an earth road ID
Ita beet condition.
AM Avataaaeat For State Aid.
Ole Petaraou, one of tbe moat ardent
advocates of good roada In Minnesota,
(a making a atrenuooa effort to urouaa
tbe people to support the proposed con
stitutional amendment, to be voted on
In November, empowering tbe atat«
legislature to make a direct tax levy
for road purposes, says tbe Oood
Roads Magaalne In dlacuaslng state
aid be recently aald: "You will find
that from 0 to 46 per cent of tbe tax
able property of tbe atate la In city
and .village property, and I think It no
mora than Just and proper that thla
portion of wealth abould be taxed in
connection with other property In the
state for tbe benefit of better country
roada. Hie cltlseua of rural dlatrlcta
abould be thoroughly couveraant with
theee facts. In order that tbey may
folly realise the benefit of state aid
and that they may better appreciate
tbe Importance of tbe proposed amend
ment. If it Is adopted the legislature
can levy one-fourth of a mill, and that
quarter of a mill will build aome nice
stretches of highway."
Notorial* to Improve Roada.
Road Improvement with the motor
ists themselves as tbe chief contribu
tors to tbe road building fund Is undet
consideration In Oreat Britain. The
London chamber of commerce baa
taken the Initiative in a movement to
establish a central governmental high
wa T department. This department
would have Jurisdiction over the trunk
highways. Automobile users in Eng
land already contribute nearly 9500,000
yearly In taxaa, and It Is dealred by the
chamber of commerce that thla sum
should be directly applied to the uss
of the highway department
