ENGAGED TO BROWN
MRS. ADAMS DISCUSSES HER
LOVE FOR HIM.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 15.-Prostrated
by the murder of former Senator Arthur
Brown, whose dead face she kissed while
murmuring Il loved you much" Mrs. Annie
c. Adams. mother of Maud Adams, who was
to have married the senator after he had ar
ranged matters with Mrs. Anna w. Bradley
his slayer, found here today, and to a
reporter she told of her relations with the
man.
Il was engaged to Senator Brown" she
said, but it was with the understanding
that our engagement should not be an
nounced and should not be considered an
engagement until he had made some sort
of a settlement or with Mrs. Bradley.
II loved Senator Brown devotedly, not
withstanding his relations with Mrs.
Bradley
Then, with tears in her eyes, she con-
tinued:
"Oh, dear If I could have seen that
woman before she became desperate. l am
sure l could have prevented the terrible
thing that happened.
Sympathy for Mrs. Bradley.
Il have great deal of sympathy for her.
l never met her in my life, but l am sure
she realizes what a terrible mistake she
made
"Will you go to the aid Of Mrs Bradley?'
was asked.
II don't want to say anything about
that was the reply
As to whether Mrs. Bradley was actu-
ated by jealousy or envy 1 cannot say. I
can only reiterate that if l had seen Mrs
Bradley this most unfortunate affair would
never have occurred"
Mrs. Adams was very nervous and agi
tated, and her eyes frequently filled with
tears during her talk with the reporter.
The shooting of Senator Brown" she
continued, lis regarded by me and all those
familiar with the circumstances most
fortunate. 1t need not have happened if 1
could have seen Mrs. Bradley"
will you be called on by the authorities
to testify in connection with the examina-
ton of Mrs Bradley" Mrs. Adams was
asked.
After a moments thought she replied as
follows:
Il have been requested not to speak of
what l know about this affair 1t is, there
fore, important that 1 should not answer
your question. 1 would be glad to If 1
could.
1t is generally understood, however, that
Mrs. Adams has placed herself at the dis
posal of Mrs. Bradley if she should want
her. Mrs. Adams is at present living at a
centrally located hotel in this city. The
private secretary of Miss Maud Adams,
her daughter, is her constant companion.

This method have followed
successfully for a number of

rience of others using this method

ever, call especial attention to
the abnormal root development,
where this method is followed to
the small percentage of stalk as
compared with the weight of the
grain, and to the greatvalue of the
fertilizing material, and especial
ly vegetable matter, which is
supplied by the immense growth
of pea vines where the corn is
planted and laid by early, and
where one succeeds in obtaining
small stalks, and there is good
width of rows"
Mr.. Williamson says that the
tendency Of the corn plant is to
grow upward and not down into
the soil. For that reason Mr..
Williamson has advised deep
ploughing, and the planting of
the corn down about the bottom
of the soil, next to the clay. He
exhibited several roots of stalks
that had been grown after his
plan, and it is a fact that the
roots were very much larger and
more numerous than those usu
ally found on corn stalks grown
in this section. There was an.
pearently from 6 to 10 inches OF
roots to the stalk from the point
where they came out at the high
est point on the stalk to the end
of the root at the bottom. To Sc
cure this desirable growth on the
part Of he corn it is necessary
to plant deep and thick, and after
the corn has been retarded in its
early growth, then fertilize and
put the dirt to the plant.

New Method of Growing
Corn---Some Interesting
Tests.

tests.
Darlington special in the News
and Courier 1t will be remem
bered that last spring Mr.. E. Nc
1ver Williamson published quite
lengthy article describing his
method of growing corn and the
same was given wide publicity
by the press generally, and by
agricultural journals, especially.
The plan as set forth in MIR. Will
liamson's article was discussed
by many of the leading agricul-
turalists of the South, and while
many thought the theory correct,
there were some who did not
agree that 1T was practical, or
that it would increase the Weld
of corn per acre as was claimed
for it by Mr.. Williamson.
Mr.. Williamson says that one
of the chief sources of criticism
seems to have arisen from the
word "stunting" lin describing
his pain of "holding back" his
corn in the first few weeks of it's
growth. Many have gathered
t-cni the nee nf the word "stupt-
ing" that Mr.. Williamson intend.
Ell to convey the idea that corn
should be "held back" even if
the plant had to be injured to do
1T. Such was not the intention
however. Mr.. Williamson said
In that article, after having de.
scribed how the land should be
prepared and the corn planted.
"Give first working with harrow
or any plough that will not cover
the plant. For second working.
use ten or twelve-inch sweep on
both sides of the corn, which
should now be about eight inches
high. Thin after this working.
1t is not necessary that the plants
should be left all the same dis.
tance apart if the right number
remain to each yard of row. Corn
should not be worked again un-
til the growth has been so re-
tarded and the stalk so hardened
that it will never grow too large.
This is the most difficult point
IN the whole process. Experiences
and Judgment are required to
know just how much the stalk
should be stunted, and plenty of
nerve is required to hold back
your corn when your neighbors,
no have fertilized at planting
ne and cultivated rapidly, have
twice the size of yours. The
CT the land, the more neces-
is that the stunting pro-
hould be thoroughly
