A Concord dispatch of the 12th, to the Charlotte Observer, tells the following story : A bold and daring hold-up was attempted on the public highway last Saturday night four miles fromthis city on the Betty's ford road, near the home of R. V. Caldwell, and two negroes, John and Shep Gilmore, are in the county jail charged with the of fense. John Gilmore bears a wound in one shoulder and was struck without effect in two other places by. the balls from the pis tol of one of the young men of the party. Messrs. Will Cannon and R. A. Sossaunn, young men of Corneli us, came to town Saturday to see The Clansman, young Jay Can non joining the party on the road. The boy rode horseback, while his cousin and Mr. Sossaman were in a buggy. As they returned home Jay Cannon led the way. When at the place mentioned above, two men sprang from the side of the road each seizing a rein of the horses and commanding the men to throw up their hands. Mr. Cannon fired on the robbers and one dropped as if wounded. The young men went to the home of W. F. Cannon where they remain ed the rest of the night. The fact that John Gilmore was shot came to light yesterday morning when he souSht medical aid through one ot nis neignnors. ine two negroes were landed in jail today and will be given a preliminary hearing before Esquire Pitts, Jobn Gilmore says thst he was in a row with some darkies at Da vidson Saturday night, but Jay Cannon recognized him on the roadside as he paaed him. The Gilmore negroes are a desperate set and have figured many times in the Cabarrus courts. Fireman Hurt.

The first and most important step in producing a crop of tobacco is to have an abundance of good, strong, stocky plants. The land selected, for a plant bed should be of virgin soli witn a sngntiy southern exposure, if possible, in order that the young plants may get the benefit of the warm rays or. tne sun in eany spring. This is important to bring them forward as early as possible. The soil should be a rich, fertile, black loam. Black is preferable, because it absorbes more heat from the rays of the sun than does any otner color, and brings forward the plants several days sooner, which is much to be desired by the tobacco grower.. After the wild growth has been cut off and the leaves and trash removed, brush and wood should be piled on the surface in sufficient quantity to burn the toD earth to a reddish tinge or soit- brick color. After the bed has cooled, and without removing the ashes, it should be coultered or dug up with grubbing hoes, frequently raked and chopped over with weeding hoes, until the sunace is thoroughly pulverized. All roots should be removed, as well as lumps of up turned clay. When nicely prepared mark off beds four feet wide, for convenience of sowing. One heaping tablespoonrui or seed is enough to sow ten yards square, or one hundred square yards. The seed should be mixed with a peck or more of meal, ashes or land plaster to facilitate its even distribution over the bed. To more surely insure this even distribu tion, the bed should be sown first . , . a rn one way and tnen cross-sown. Aiier the sowing, tramp or lightly rake the bed v.7ith a fine garden rake and then cover v;ith canvas. The edges of tne canvas should be tacked to a frame made or scantlings or poles that should form a frame around the bed. A few bent arches made of wire or switches should be stuck over the bed to hold the canvas off the surface. A trench dug on the up per side of the bed is necessary to pro tect it from the washings of the surface water, that is apt to collect the seed in toutds m tne low daces or tne Deas. Beds should be burned as early as pos sible when the land is sutticientiy dry after the Christmas holidays. Those burned and sowrd in. February and March, when suitably prepared, always do best. Ee careful not to use too many seed. Whon this is done the plants are so crowded that, they grow up with deli cate, fragile stalks and are unable to resist the shock of transplanting as well as stockier plants. PREPARATION OF SOILS FOR HEAVt smrpixa TOBACCO. A rich, loose, well-drained, clayey soil is best adapted to the growth of heavy shipping tobacco. Old land that has grown a crop of clover or cowpeas the preceding year, broken up in the fall, well manured, either before breaking or after, with a liberal application of stable manure is found most favorable to the WEW SPRING G0OB5 BELK-HARRY C.5.

These the plants are set out the better. During will be found a most Valuable addition the first half of May there is usually to the stable manure that should always enough humidity in the soil to make the be applied in the-fall, when it is put on. transplanting safe without rain. It is the land in the spring, it has a tendency best, however, to set out immediately to make the tobacco plant spot, and it after a rain, provided the fall of rain is grows with so much rapidity that, though not so heavy as to thoroughly soak the the leaves may have ample size, they will ground. In this case it is better to wait be lacking in body and in finish when ' until the excessive water is drained away. the tobacco is cured. When the plants in the seed bed show leaves as large as a quarter of a dollar, it is time to begin to lay off the land preparatory to fertilizing the same and the making of hills. Usually furrows are run both ways across the land three ' and a half feet apart with a single-horse plow, and at the points of intersection of the rows fertilizers are dropped rang ing in quantity from a tablespoonful to a small handful. From 150 to 500 pounds are used to the acre, the quantity being regulated to some extent by the strength of the soil and by the amount of stable or other manures previously applied. In the yellow tobacco regions of North Carolina and in the seedleaf districts of Pennsylvania as much as 700 to 800 pounds per acre are applied with most satisfactory results. The best artificial fertilizer for tobacco contains the follow ing: Phosphoric acid, 8 per cent. Ammonia 2 per cent. Potash, 10 per cent. This is varied by a reduction of the amount of potash to 3 per cent., which, while it lessens the cost, reduces its val ue as a fertilizer. It is not a wise or economical policy to reduce the percent age of potash, as this is by far the most valuable ingredient that enters into a fertilizer for tobacco. Manural applications are rarely made on freshly cleared land, except In the yellow tobacco growing regions on yel lowish or whitish soils where they are found to be of the greater benefit in giving vitality and finish to the tobacco. Nessler, Schloesing and other chemists have demonstrated that the combustibili ty or burning qualities of tobacco are greatly impaired by the use of any fer tilizer containing chlorine.

Lands that under ordinary conditions would make a yield of poor,, papery tobacco lacking in A peg an inch or an incn and a half in diameter and six or eight inches long and sloped for one-third of the length to a blunt point, is used for setting out the plants. A hole is made 'With it in the hill into which the roots of the plants are thrust. The dirt is then pressed to the plant by the thumb on one side and the peg on the other. One person usually drops for two setting out. A hand plant, that is an extra plant to begin with, facilitates greatly the planting, as it may be adjusted in the hand in passing from one hill to another. The plant dropped on one hill is the one set out in the next. CULTIVATION OF THE CROP. In about eight to ten days after the plants are set out in the open field, they will be so well established that cultivation should begin by running a furrow on each side of the row with a single horse turning plow, the bar of the plow being run as closely as possible to the plants without disturbing the roots and so endangering their vitality. This leaves a narrow ridge with the plants standing on it. Hoes are then brought into requisition to scrap away any grass or weeds that may nave made their ap pearance. It is a good practice to draw a little dirt up around the plants after breaking the crust which generally crowns the top of the ridge. This initial working is probably the most important. For-subsequent working cultivators may be run at intervals of a week or ten days both ways through the tobacco. This is especially important after every rain. It is now the practice of the best tobacco growers . to use level cultivation. It was once thought necessary to put a sup porting hill around each plant at the first cultivation. This practice has been abandoned because it diminishes the area of range for the roots of the plants and also lessens the amount of numiaity leaves exnand. The land should never ne worked when it is wet. Wnen the nlants have attained a size attained a size tnat manes it impossible to use a plow or cultivator without damage from tne oreasage or leaves, it will be found advantageous to cut out with hoes or to pull up wth the hands any grass, weeds or bushes that may spring up. Every alien growth will damage the quality of the tobacco. Frou Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer Almanac. ( We have not space enough reprint the balance of this article.
