Where the best food is required no other baking powder or leavening agent can take the place or do the work of Royal Baking Powder, COMPLIMENTS THEM. Recent Suggestions from Salisbury Women Call Forth Very Nice Comment. The ladies of Salisbury, says a news item sent out from that A. 1 i A-J - A. town, nave etarteu a uiovbiubui lur the establishment of an Old Wo man's Home in North Carolina. They say North Carolina is tha on ly state south of Mason and Dix on's line that has not such a home. Many ' of the old women of the State, it is urged, are cast about from pillar to post, destitute and homeless. Numbers of these wom en are wives and mothers of sol diers who gave their lives for the country during the civil war, wom en who spun and sewed, who ploughed and mowed during the struggle, whose hearts were broken by the loss of dear ones who never returned. Gry to the women of Salis bury 1 The movement deserves all aid and encouragement, for e know of no one thing in the way of a charitable institution that is so much needed as the institution they propose. After the the care of the children, the care of the old people certainly demands at tention. The Landmark has of ten wondered why men of wealth spend money on libraries, college endowments, etc., do not turn some of their surplus money into means of caring for those unable to i are for themselves such as hrtmna -rVti rvl t rorrln Vinarti f.a 1 a children's homes, etc. It is all well enough to give to libraries, etc., but many of those helped in this way can help themselves. The class we plead for is the helpless ' and destitute. Much is being done for orphan children and much remains to be done ; much is being done in hospital work and much is yet to be done. But the worthy old people, who have labored long and wrought well, and who thrrugh no fault of their own have come to want in their helpless old age, find no assyhim open to them save the county home. This hould not be so. The average couuty home is not a desirable refuge and reform is much needed in the majority of these institu tions. True many of the inmates have never known .better care and to these the meager comforts are not a hardship. But there are many old people, deserving old people,stranded in old age, who deserve something better. It may be said, as it has been said with reference to the reform school for boys, that such an institution would encourage children who should and pan provide for their parents, to neglect them, But it is a condition and not a theory that confronts. Many children do shamefully neglect parents and few of them give them the care parents deserve; but parents should not be allowed to saffer by the neglect of child en. The home proposed, however will be especial ly for those who have no children or near relatives on whom they can lay claim, and their are many such people. All honor to the women of Salisbury who propose to lead in this noble work. The only suggestion the Landmark wishes to add is that there ought to be a home for old men, too. But as the old soldiers are pro vided for at the Soldiers' Home the case of the men is not so urg ent as that of the women, and pro viding for the latter will open the way for similar provision for the former.

GRAPES, from their most fcealth- ful properties, give ROYAL its active and principal ingredient Absolutely Pure HORRIBLE TO THINK OF. Read What the Scientific Men Say and Tben Begin Trembling. The terrible catastrophe in Italy which caused the inhabitants of the ill-fated city of Messina to be lieve that the end of the world had come was only a foretaste on a small scale of what many eminent scientists believe will be the end of the world. That eternal prob lem of how the world will end is in the opinion of many a matter for scientific investigation, and it is curious that the majorit of people believe that the earth will open up and fly to pieces in the most gigantic earthquake ever known, an earthquake that will wipe all life from the globe before the actual construction of 'the earth is complete. The late Grant Allen firmly be lieved that the world would end by the crust of the earth eventually giving away beneath the colassal weight above it; and Abe Dapin, one oi tne greatest scientists or France, believes that doomsday will begin with a war that will en velop the greatest nationB in Eu rope, this being followed by a plague the like of which has never been known, culminating with an earthquake that will practically shake the world to pieces. H. G. Wells, whose scientific prophecies are well known, is, hovever of a different opinion. The world will end, he declarss by its becoming entirely frozen over. It is a wellknown fact that every year more ice accumulates around the poles; in short, many millions of tons of ice in excess of that of the year previous settle about the earth's extremities each year, and in Mr. Wells' opinion this will gradually extend until the whole world is frozen over and every thing is thus destroyed. Several scientists are of opinion that we shall perish by fire, and this old world of ours with us. Nikola Teals, the great American, is convinced that the atmosphere of the world being bo fully charg ed with electricity, the resnltwill be a gigantic explosion by sponta neons conbustion, when the world will be entirely encircled by flame which in the space of a few sec onds will destroy all life. Two of the world's greatest sci entists firmly aver that the end of the world will be brought about by Btronomical conditions. Take Proffessor Marienberg, the noted Austuan student. Iu his opinion the earth will fly from its orbit and come in contact with one of the other planets shat may chance to be in a direct line. The earth being comparativlely small, w:ll, of course, get the worst of it, and split into fragments at the collis- sion. But, of course, directly the world swerved ' from the orbit all Iviing things Vould die, and such an earthquake take place as would completely put the Italian catas trophe in the shade. Just as interesting is the prog nostication ofj M. Camille Flam- marion, one ct the greatest living scientists. After many years of study he has arrived at the con clusion that the world will in the twenty-fifth century come across the path of the comet Belia being infinitely greater than the earth, jl shock may be expected which, he calculates, will be 865 times greater than the shock caused by the collision between two trains, each traveling at 65 miles an hour.

Sur prise yourself. Tea or Tablets, 85c. Cornelison & Cook. Tried the Davy Crockett Bane. A short time ago the mill at Henrietta was much inconve nienced by muskrats which raided the place. On all hands the re sult of their work was in evidence. Finally IV r. Tanner called two small boys who work about the place into his office and offered them 25 cents a piece for every mulkrat they killed. They were on the job at once. It was not long before they marched proudly J in holding a deceased, rodent of the family named. They got the quarter. In a short time they came again with a dead muskrat. Another quarter. Words of com mendation were spoken. Encour aged by these, fired with the de sire to gain wealth the boys came back, now one, now the other, time after time. Finally they had collected from the management ab.Mit $3.50 a fortune to them. Then it was the mill manage ment that smelt a mouse. There was no aggreeable diminution in the original nuiecance . An inves tigation was made to see what was being done with the defunct ani mals. You guess the end, perhaps. There had been but one killed. The joke was on the milland the boys kept the money. Charlotte Observer. "I'd Rather Die, Doctor, than have my feet cut off," said M. L. Bingham, of Princeville, 111.

Its cures of Eczema, Fever Sores, Boils, Barns ajd Piles astound the world. 25c at all druggists. Begging, a Good Business. A middle-aged man came t Ho tel Guilford the other day, pitiful 1 to behold, drawn and crooked and bent with paralysis so he seemed. He made arrangements for board at $3 a day leaving out dinner. He said he would be absent and could not get back to the hotel. He was absent all right and for a reason. It is learned that after partaking of a hearty breakfast he would register off every morning and not show up until late in the afternoon, in am ple time for supper, when his ap petite was quite as good as in the morning. He was an object of pity to all who saw him and many were the comments made. The other night as he paid it up and left a merchant in the city happened to be in the hotel lobby, and seeing the man hobbling out remarked on his condition, stat ing that he had given him fifty cents during the day thSt he was begging around the streets every day. "I got that fifty cents." replied the clerk; "he stopped here and paid three a day 1" mi i!.. ine question is was ne a para- Uytic or not. One thing sure he was an impostor. Greensboro Record.

A girl in Neodesba played "post- office" at a party the other night and yelled and- shrieked and howled, and ran behind the door and scratched the young man's face in seven places, upset a lamp, kicked over a piano stool, when he finally kissed her on the tip of the ear she fainted dead away and said she could never look anybody in the face again. They led the bashful, modest, gentle, sobbing oreature home, and th9 next day she ran away with a married lightning-rod peddler. Altoona, Kan., Tribune.

Vhhincton 0RE60N I PEOPLES NATIONAL BANK WACHOVIA oi in A Verj Reasonable View. It is no uncommon thing for a railroad to win a verdict in a dam age suit in these latter days. It was not ever thus. Aforetime ju ries were prompt to rewardthe plantiff, no matter Bow feeble his cause nor how slight bis injury. We recall a verdict in favor of a weman who was compelled to alight from a train at Salisbury that did pot stop at Concord, her destination, and wait twenty min utes for one That did. Luckily for justice and decency, Judge Tom McNeil, an honest Scotch man, promptly set the verdict aside and threw a boquet or two at the jury. Another rrian sought and received a large reward from the Southern Railway because he was punched in the eye by the umbrella of another man as they both scrambled to board a train. Two or three thrifty citizens who tried this short road to wealth have received a set-back by juries who kept their consciences, and it looks like a sentiment has been set in motion that is likely to make the business of going to law for enrichment rather nnprofita ble . We ate not fighting any bat lies ior tne rauroaas. lney are sinners in many things, and be cause of their foolish policies create prejudice in the public mind against themselves but the scandulous graft that people nave practiced in rushing into courts with frivolous damage suits ought not to be tolerated. We notice tho fear expresed by some of our papers that is dager that we will swing t) the oth er extreme and allow the railroads to go unpunised for negligence. That is hardly probable. When, because of a plain disregard of its obligation to protect its passengers, a railroad inflicts injury it ought to be, and will be, punished in the courts. Human life is too sacred a thing to be trifled with and when by sheer carelessness a railroad put life in jeopardy it ought to be compelled to pay foi it, but that is one thing, and being held up by citizens for sins it never commit ted is quite another.
