CULTIVATION OF HOPS.
The Farmers of North Carolina Can
Add Another Money Crop--Our CHM
ate and Soil Is Better Suited to Hop
Culture Than New York.

culture nan NEW fOFh'
Mr.. A. L. Jones, formerly Of New
York, who is interested in hop culture
in Warren county, is in the city. He
says that number of farmers in War
rem have planted a hop crop, the time
for planting being any time from
November till April.
Col. w. +. Green, of Franklin, has
organized a hop growers association,
and the farmers in his section viii try
to raise hops.
Have hops ever been grown in large
quantities in North Carolin ?" asked
a reporter.
Yes; but they were not cured in
time. That was in Richmond county"
'.How profitable is the CROP"
Hops sell from 10 cents to $3.50 per
pound. The average is 1900 pounds
TO the acre, and some have often raised
a ton. In deep, sandy loan lands a
ton to the acre is quite common"
Continuing, Mr.. Jones said
THAT the soil and climate of North
Carolina are proven to be alike favor
able to hop culture and to the produc-
ton Of hops of q quality much supe-
rior to any heretofore grown IN this
country, and that they are grown here
at less than half the cost Of production
elsewhere, and can. be put on the
market in advance of all others be-
cause of their earlier ripening, are
facts Of great significance and value
to the farmers and land owners Of the
Old North State.
1.-THE progress made in this new agri-
cultural industry has shown us that
another great money crop can be
grown in North Carolina, and with
even greater profit than any of the
older hop growing States. There has
never been in this country any over
production of the finer grades or quail
ties of hops. They are always in de-
mand, and can be sold at place of
growth Immediately after they are in
bale, or they may be held for rise,
as suits the grower, as the crop is not
a perishable one.
''The cost of establishing and main
tanning hop yard in this State is
estimated TO be less than for vine
yard of like acreage, and not one
fourth of what it is in the hop regions
of the North and West. Hop yards in
congenial soil and climate are long
lived In New York hops have been
grown continuously on the same land
for many years without any seeming
diminution of the crop or weakening
of the plant. Some hop yards in
Europe are known to have yielded good
crops annually for more than one hun
dred years.
''In order to secure healthfulness,
mi longevity.
planting should be in soil through
which the roots can penetrate to con-
siderable depth, and the roots planted
should be taken from yards known to
be healthy, vigorous, productive and
of one variety only. There are several
varieties of merchantable hops.
Where more than one are grown they
should be in separate fields. The

"TOO MANY STORIES"
Faith of the Flock In the Pastor
Shaken by the Stockton
Story.

The publication of the story of DR..
Browns relations with Mrs. Stockton has
caused considerab change OF feeling
among member of his congregation
There are many who, while not friendly to
the pastor, on account OF past troubles in
the church, particularly the Strauss case,
were strongly disinclined to believe Mrs.
Davidson's story, and were ready to stand
up for the doctor good name.
Meyer Strauss who was dismissed from
the church several months ago and after
ward reinstated, has no friendly feelings
for DR.. Brown, but will not speak of the
case because, as he said yesterday, ''a
burnt child is afraid of fire." The cause of
his trouble with the deacons was over
letter he had written to one of the ladies
who taught in the Sunday-school, in
which he criticized DIR. Brown in connec-
ton with his relations to the Christian
Endeavor Society. Over this there was
made a wide breach in the church which
has not been healed, and most of those
who then espoused the cause of Mr..
Strauss cause are still unfriendly to DR..
Brown.
II have been very thankful, since this
scandal came up, that [ know nothing of
it," said Mr.. Strauss. 81 don't talk about it
and won't talk about it even to the other
members. 1 have suffered enough over
my own trouble not to care to get into
another dispute"
Mr.. Strauss said that he knew very little
about Mrs. Davidson, and could not Judge
of the case at all. He hoped for the good
Of the church that the stain would be re-
moved.
Mrs. French, who is one of the leaders
in the congregation, was inclined to criti-
cize some of DR.. Browns methods in con-
Quoting his case. 1t was at her house that
Mrs. Davidson stayed for three days just
before Christmas. Mrs. Davidson came
to my house on the Sunday before Christ

''She said that she was afraid for her
life, and l asked her to stay over night
While she didfnot evince great fear by her
manner, she may have believed that she
was in danger. You know Miss Overman

MRS. TUNNEL is MISSING.
DR.. Brown Says He Would Pay
to Learn Her Where
ahnIIfc

A conference is reported to have been
held yesterday in the First Congrega-
tional Church between Captain Lees,
DR.. Brown and Miss Overman. The
purport of the meeting is mere con-
lecture. Both Captain Lees and DR.. Brown
emphatically deny any such occurrence.
This is the first time l have heard of
such a meeting" said the doctor last even
ing, and Captain Lees averred that he had
seen none of the Brown contingent all day.
CALL representative visited the Brown
residence last night. Miss Overman came
to the door and held it partly ajar.
'Are you reporter" she asked. ''Well,
| guess the doctor has nothing to say for
the newspapers tonight"
After minute or two the door opened
with crash and sudden swing and the
doctor himself appeared.
''On what subject?" he asked brusquely,
and without awaiting a reply added: 81

ter My attorneys have forbidden my
making any statement at all.
When it was suggested to him that
rumor was atioat to the effect that he had
very recently made a statement of the
case, he said with some heat, "Those are
false charges. | have made no state
ments and [ shall make no statement un-
til the matter comes before the court NY
attorneys have forbidden such thing"
'Why did you allow Miss Overman to
make the long statement yesterday"

emphatically. II have not read anything
of the kind. l saw only the tiaring head
lines last night in the evening papers that
the newsboys were crying around town.

ment, she did so without my knowledge
and when was away from home"
With regard to the whereabouts of Mrs.
Tunnel, the doctor said
eff you can find Mrs. Tunnel, we will

nothing of her whereabouts, but we want
to subpoena her. She has not been in this

MISS 0VERMAN CONFESSED TO 0THERW0MEN

subject. He positively refuses to talk.
F AN OVERMAN CONFESSION.
Mrs. Thurston of Oakland Cor ro-
borates Part of Mrs. David
sons Story,


borateS Part of Mrs. David
sons Story.
Rev. ]. H Allen of S02 Jefferson street,
Oakland, is an evangelist of considerable
note It.was at one of his meetings that
Miss Matte Overman confessed CONVEX
sion and became deeply interested in his
teachings on the second coming of Christ.
He is not at all surprised at the turn
affairs have taken. as he was warned
nearly year ago to get away from the
women interested and avoid any chance of
becoming involved in anything that might
occur. He took the advice and is now
congratulating himself that he did. He
was seen at his home last evening and
told the following story:
81 conducted evangeistic services in
the Lutheran Church on Mission street,
in San Francisco. These were at
tended by large number of people,
among them being Mrs. Davidson, Mrs.
Tunnel, Miss Overman and others. This
was in 1894. About the last of the year
had Bible class at Mrs. Tunnels, 132
Tenth street. Miss Overman professed
conversion at one of the meetings at the
church, and became an attendant at the
Bible class. She appeared to be very
happy, joyous woman after her CONVEX
sion, and had no reason to believe she
was not as sincere as she appeared to be.
Matters went along for awhile, when
one day j was notified by friend that
there was scandal brewing and the best
/ could dowas to discontinue my Bible
class at Mrs. TunnelPs, SO that when it
broke | should not become involved in any
manner.
81 questioned the advice and then my
friend told me that Miss Overman had con.
fessed that she was in trouble. 1 discon-
-tinued the classes at once and have held
them at Holmes Mission, 1887 Market
street, ever since. 1 will not say who the
Miss 0verman. as it was told me in conf
dence.
II do not believe it is best to tell in ad-
vance the testimony that may be brought
out on trial as it only gives the other
side an opportunity to secure rebuttal evil
deDce, even though they have to manu-
facture it. If anything | know will help
.eitherside l am willing to go on the stand
but cannot see what help 1t would be to
either party.
II can say, however, that at the close
of. our mission, before Matte Overman
went TO Tacoma, she was the most happy,
Joyous Christian woman I have seen, and
was very eager for Bible light on the
subject OF the Lords second coming. She
was then living at DR.. Browns
sin fact she had become so imbued with
my-teachirgs that she talked about it to
all she came in contact with, and was the
means of interesting DR.. Brown to such an
The San Francisco call., 1896-01-02

came deeply interested and attended the
meetings regularly, taking an active part.
She naturally looked to me for advice on
certain matters, which I do not believe
would be right at this time to divulge.
Il advised Brother Allen to discontinue
his Bible readings at Mrs. Tunnell's, for
fear he would become involved in some
way with the trouble that 1 knew must
come sooner or later. The greatest amount
OF information was derived from Mrs
Tunnel, and this is the woman who can
tell the secret of all that now appears to be
full of mystery. DR.. Brown attended the
Bible meetings about three times, but it
was not the Holy Spirit that brought him
there. This was before Matte Overman
went TO Tacoma. She went north about
March II, 1895, if I remember rightly. Any
way, it was at the time DIR. Brown went
north on lecture tour last year. They
went up on the same steamer.
cat that time knew everything and I
have not seen Matte since my return. 1
have often thought of the subject and
knew that it must all come out sooner or
later. | knew it would make a sensation.
but felt that the guilty must suffer the
consequences of their sins. l want to see
right prevail and want to see the guilty
punished. 1t seems strange that Mrs
Davl0son's story should be discredited, as
L consider it is borne out by Miss Over
mans statements. Matte is the one who
disclosed the affair with Mrs Stockton.
She said that so long as Mrs. Stockton got
money she did not see why she should not
have some, and yet DR.. Brown processes to
have such confidence in her.
'lf DR.. Brown was on trial instead of
Mrs. Davidson 1 would feel freer to speak.
"1t would be an easy task to prove his
position. Matte Overman is woman of
the world and is sharp. She will not be
caught If it is possible to avoid it, but she
has confded her story to several people
and 1t will not be any easy matter for her
to evade telling certain things when the
tIial comes. / have read the confession
which Mrs. Davidson says Miss Overmdn
made to her, and l believe Mrs. Davidson
is speaking the truth. Lam deeply inter-
ested in seeing the matter probed to the
bottom regardless of who suffers. The
guilty one is an injury to Christianity and
the sooner exposed and thrown out the
better for the cause.
This much can say, it will be very
figured in the case, Just as Mrs. Davidson
says he has. Everything that Mrs. David
son has said can also be proved, with the
exception of that part relating to the
money.
Il shall watch the case closely, and when
| consider the time opportune to save the
wronged party L shall make known what
Matte told me. [ am here and have no
intention OF moving, and if DIR. Brown
would like me for witness will appear,
but have no fear that he will send for
me-"
Mr.. Thurston was present during the in
terview with his wife and concurred in all
that she said.
THAT Mrs. Baddin is not a myth" he
he said. "She was member of the Bible
class and was a very handsome, rather
stout, middle-aged woman. She kept
lodging-house at Fourth and Mission
streets and was sold out, believe, about
a year ago. 1t seems strange she should
have disappeared"
