Boiler Explosion at Concord Kills One and Injures Three Others. Concord, N. C, July 28.- George P. Blackwelder, his son, Martin, aged eighteen, and his daughter, Miss Lisora, aged sixteen, are seriously, if not fatally, injured, and Miss Tina, his twelve-year-old daughter, is dead as a result of the explosion yesterday afternoon of a boiler at the former's saw-mill in No. 7 Township, this county. The young ladies had been assisting Mr. Blackwelder and his son in removing some slabbing from the saw, when suddenly and without warning the boiler emploded. Flying pieces of the broken boiler and of timber flew in every direction, and one piece as large as the top of a buggy was blown two hundred yards away. The engine was blown to pieces and the entire plant wrecked. Monument Unveiled at Moore's Creek. Wilmington, N. C, July 27.

Members of the Gang Make a Busi ness of Setting Fire to Ruildlngs to Enable Owners to Collect Insur j amce. That there exists a gigantic, coun ! try-wide arson trust, with headquar- ! ters in Kansas City and in nearly all I the large cities, the members of which ; S make a business of setting fire to 1 buildings to enable the owners to col-1 lect. large sums ui msuiaiice, was tue charge made by C. J. Doyle, State Fire Marshal, of Illinois, in an ad- i dress before the Chicago Association ! of Commerce. "The country is facing one of the; niost gigantic organized arson con-! sniracies the world has ever known." ! said Mr. Doyle. "The State Fire Mar shal Department of Illinois has unit ed with the State Fire Marshals of Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio to wipe out the band of fifteen men at the head of this arson conspiracy. The head of the fire-bug trust is in Kansas City, from which city the op erations of the entire gang is direct ed. The tentacles of this octopus have extended as the daring of those behind the plot has grown, into a dozen or more cities. They have been found at wrork at Bloomington, Springfield (111.), Pittsburg, Cleve land, New York, Buffalo, St. Louis, Chicago and elsewhere. Two of the gang have been convicted and are now imprisoned in a Southern city. The others will be behind the bars before long if we are successful in following the clues we are working on "The fire-bug problem is one of the most important which confronts the country. Even without the cases of arson, the fire losses of the coun try are appalling, amounting to about $500 a minute. In Chicago the loss is $5,000,000 a year, while in Berlin the annual loss does not exceed $200, 000. We should adopt the fire pro tection plans of European cities." What's in McClure's for August? The leading article in the August McClure's is an .account in Detective Burns' own words of the events that led up to the arest of John McNa mara, the secretary-treasurer of the Structural Iron Workers' Union, and his brother James for the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times Buildings in October, 1910. In spite of the storm of controversy that has raged around this case, and the important issues in volved in it, the general public has in the main no very clear idea of the evidence upon which the arrest was made. For the man who honestly de sires to know the facts, whatever his sympathies may be. "The Dynamit ers," Detective Burns straightfor ward and convincing story will have an absorbing interest. In "The Collapse of the Diaz Le gend," William Archer analyzes the causes that brought about the sud den downfall of Porfirio Diaz, the great Mexican dictator, and sounds a warning against the present-day ten dency for its well-being.

Scrious Cutting Affair at Greensboro.

Powell is by I far the worse cut of the two, though j Summers is stabbed deeply in several places." Mr. Grace Hallyburton, of Ashe ville, died Saturday from the effects of a stroke of paralysis. He was city clerk of Asheville for six years. Farm Topics WINTER COVER CROP. United States Department of Agricul ture Ready to Aid the Farmers in Every Way Possible What to Plant and When to Plant. A winter cover crop is one of the most important factors in Southern farming, especially hill farming. Aj system of poor farming has so great- ly exhausted the humus in the major- i ity of the fields as to make it well-j nigh impossible to prevent their fur-j ther depletion by the heavy rains of winter and early spring, which carry off much of the valuable elements left, onto the bottoms, and into the streams. Nature, always resource ful, has furnished certain plants which may be used to restore the de-j pleted soils. These winter cover crops will hold our loose soils in place, and where sunlcient growth is obtained, can be turned under to add humus to the soil. The sand hills and other loose soils can largely be prevented from learning if heavy cov er crops are turned under for a few years. This statement may be veri fied by taking new land where the plant roots and vegetable mold are still in it, or the same may be found in sod land where run to pasture for a series of years and brought back into cultivation. No washing occurs here even after the heaviest rains. A good cover crop will not only pre vent washing and add humus to the soil, but if clovers or vetches are used there will be nitrogen collected from the air and stored in the soil during winter, as peas and beans do in summer. The plants most suitable for cover crops are rye, vetch, crim son and bur clover- Conditions, of course, must determine which to use. Rye. Rye is one of the old stand- ard winter cover crops and has been ncorl TPrv pxtensivelr in soma jue - " - , Oats. oats may ne usea instead of rye in many instances, and the same general rule for preparation, planting, and after-treatment may he followed asv rye. One and one-half to two and one-half bushels of seed should be used per acre when plant ed alone; one and one-half bushels and one-fourth bushel of vetch when combined. Rust-proof oat seed gives the best results in nearly every part ! . ..-. 1 m. k- Jt t m m. I ?d bm4ci at tiae of gocl for this, or the foHta ?-e? acre: Acid ?hophat, ISO poasd: ct?of3d meal.

The crop can be ow4 !a both corn asd cotton middle mfcerr clean ed by scattering eed broadcast and running ep or cultivator light! to corr. Katlre success, hoevr, ned not be looked for by this method o! siding, though some splendid res alts were reported from it last season. The corn land can be put in fine con diton by using a cutaway or dik har row vto cut stalks and turn top sail. Sow seed and cover with tooth bar- row FertilUrr.--The clovers and vetch will need fertilisation to get satia- factory early growth. For this pur pose stable manure stands first as it not only adds fertility but carries the bacterial inoculation so essential on soiu first nlanted to these crops. An application at timo of sowing of 300 pounds 16 per cent acid. 2 j pounds muriate potash, and 75 pounds cot tonseed meal or dried blood per acre will be -good. The addition of the small amount of nitrogenous fertll izer will aid In giving they oung Plants a vigorous start When there happens to be any acidity of the soil. air-slacked lime at the rate of 1,000 is just as early In the fall as danger of summer killing of young plants Is past not later than September first. Vetch can be sowed much later, though the earlier planting does bet ter. Amount of Seed. About twenty pounds of crimson clover sed per acre should be used; 30 pounds bur clover in bur, or 15 pounds cleaned ' seed; 15 pounds vetch scde when sowed with one bushel oats which plan is always best If the soil Is good enough to allow it, 30 pounds if sow ed alone. Bur clover will be found to grow better as a rule from the seed planted without hulling. The inoculating germ appears to be car ried with the bur. All clover seed should be covered lightly; use roller if the soil is dry at planting time. Inoculation. To get a satisfactory i crop crimson clover, bur clover, or vetch the first year, the soil must be inoculated. Stable manure ap parently does this in some lqpal ities but the safest plan is to pro cure soil from a few Inches below the surface, where the bacteria are more numerous, from a field which has already grown the crop, scatter ing broadcast over the newly-planted area. Two or three bushels per acre will answer, while more would be better. The U. S. Department of Ag riculture will furnish inoculating ma terial free for any of these crops, to any who make application, full in structions as to use being sent. It Is recommended that those desiring this material shall send direct to the Department for it, rather than pay fancy prices to some of the firms making extravagant claims for the same material. Application must be made on regular forms which you can obtain either from Dr. Knapp at Washington, or from my office. C. R. HUDSON, State Agent. Washington, D. C, July 14, 1911. Approved: S. A.
