AFRAID OF THE DARK.
Wholesome Advice About Teaching
Children TO Look Upon the Dark
as Kindly and Not Fearsome-

OF all the fears which beset little
children Ia this big, startling world in
which they find themselves so unex-
pectedly, the most painful is the fear
of the dark Nurse and mother may
explain that there Is nobody coming 10
hurt the child. and that It is foolish
10 imagine what is not there. AL
these arguments are futile with the
child who is really afraid Of the dark
It is not that he fears enemies, who
may more safely attack him in the
night, or the noise which he can hear
only in the quiet OF the evening. The
dark itself seems to him ike a hide
5us black monster which shuts the
nursery inside it's gloomy wings, and
hides all manner Of tragic possibilities
in It's evil nature.
The child who suffers this sort Of
terror is sure TO be Of a highly imag
NATIVE type. and must be cured BY the
imagination as he has been tortured
by it.
She is the wise mother who fore
stalls her babys fears of the dark BY
implanting in the chllds mind some
happy fables Of the kfndliness Of night
For children must always have bad
spirit driven out by a good one-not
by arguments proving that the bad
one cannot exist No theoretical ex-
PLANTATION Is half so convincing as the
figure of a good fairy, dressed in black
for the relief of tired eyes. and full OF
pleasant surprises for sleeping babies
"a sort Of every-day-in-the-year Santa
Claus.
A charming lullaby by Graham Rob
ertson may help on the good work OF
strengthening or soothing the timid
child. The last stanza Of his poem,
"The Gentle Dark" runs thus:
The voice is tender %, little one hark),
The eyes are kindly under the hood;
Blow out the candle Leave not a spark,
Trusting your friend as q playmatt
should
Hold up your arms to the Gentle DARK,
The Dark that is kind and good.
This may be called the secular cure
Of fear. There is also the religious
cure, and many happy children in all
the Christian ages have caught from
their mothers faith a confidence that
the darkness is alive with a Heaven
ly presence and protection Youths

TO REMOVE TARTAR.
Lemon and Pumice May Be Used Oc-
casionally by Adult-When to
Visit the Dentist.


This deposit, arising from an un-
wholesome stomach, unless removed
will certainly loosen the teeth and
cause them to fall out. It Is best to
let a dentist remove it. but when not
of long standing it may be taken on
by the use Of powdered pumice stone
and lemon juice An orange wood
stick. obtainable in lunches at o
trifing cost from any drug store, is the
best implement to use for it's removal.
Dip the stick into the lemon juice and
then into the pumice and rub over the
spots until removed Pumice should
be used but seldom upon the teeth,
and never upon the children's teeth. A
good LIQUID dentifrice to use after the
teeth are clean, to keep them So is as
follows: Borax, two ounces; hot water.
one quart; tincture of myrrh, one tea
spoonful; spirits OF camphor, one tea
spoonful. Dissolve the borax in the
water; when nearly cold, add the other
ingredients and bottle for use. Use a
wine glass full night and morning In
a half glass of lukewarm water, 20
brush the teeth and riase out the
mouth. This is aromatic, cleansing
and hardening the gums.-The Com-
moner.

Thomas A. Benton.

The many friends of Mr.. Thom-
as A. Benton were grieved to
learn Of his death, which occur
red at his home on South Fourth
street Sunday mo- ming at 9:28
o'clock.
Mr.. Benton had been sick
about two weeks and to few of
his intimate friends and close
neighbors his condition had bee n
known TO be serious, but the an
nouncement of his death was a
great shock to many, who had
not heard Of his fitness or who
thought it was merely bad cold.
which at this time is prevalent.
The cause of Mr., Benton's death
was sorosis of the liver with other
complications.
The deceased leaves a widow,
three daughters and ore son be-
sides many relatives and friends
to mourn his departure. He was
iifty- eight years old and was a
consistent member Of the Cum
berlaRd Presbyterian Church.

Winter Resort.

John M. Beall, the efficient an d
trusting General Passenger
Agent of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad has another feather
sticking out of the top of his cap of
fame. This time it is the inaug-
uration of a fast train between
Chicago, and Mobile and a fast
steamship service between Mo-
bile and Havana, Cuba.
The initial trip was started
from Chicago Friday afternoon
at O'Clock, leaving st. Louis at
1910 p. m. (25 minutes late) and
arriving in Mobile on time at 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
train is known AS the Havana
Limited an makes only about
half a dozen stops between Chi
cago and Mobile. It is composed
of vestibule cars consisting of
a composite baggage, buffet,
club, smoking, library, dining
car, compartment, drawing room
and observation cars, and is said
to be one of the hand dsomest in
the country.
The first train had ty-four
passengers among whom were
Mr.. BeaIl and several other raj :
road men who were delighted
with the tieae made.

A SMALL
SIZE BLAZE.
The City Furniture Company
Has Narrow Escape.
ONLY A SLIGHT LOSS
4 Panic was Possibly AVarted in The
Opera House By The Failure to
Sound the Alarm.

A little after nine O'Clock Mon
day night the fire department
made quick run up Main street
bur no one seemed to know
whence the laddies were bound.
The run was short however and
those who witnessed the race
saw that it was q case of busi-
ness. About 8 o'clock fire was
discovered among a lot of three
hundred mattresses on the sec
ond floor in the City Furniture
Co.'S stock. 1t was quietly re-
ported to the IRE department and
bat for prompt action and eff
cient work the loss doubtless
would have amounted to thous-
ands of dollars but as it was the
damage was slight. Had the fce
gotten under good headway be-
fore the department arrived it is
more than likely that the entire
block would have been destroyed
as there are several very old
buildings and the flames would
have naturally spread very rap
idly
In this connection THE COM
MERCIAL desires to say that the
failure to ring the FIRE bell doubt
less saved the lives of several
people and the injury cf many
more, for had it been koown IN
the Opera House, where Frank
Dudley was playing to hig
crowd, that fire was in the next
building there would certainly
have been such a stampede that
injury, and possibly death,
would have been saevitable.
The officer who had presence
of mind enough not to ring the
bell deserves the commen dation
of all, and we are informed that
Capt. Smith is entitled to that
credit.

pairing for This.
LARGE ORDER PLACED
For New Equipment, which viii Afford
Ample Facilities in Handling
Business.


The shipping public will be in
terested in the information that
the Southern Railway has placed
orders for the following new
equipment;
1857 fifty ton all steel double
hopper coal cars for delivery in
October and November, 1906.
1,750 thirty ton plain box cars,
deliveries to be made in July and
August, 1906, at the rate of 1000
per month.
1872 fifty-ton flat bottom steel
gondolas, deliveries to be made
in September, October and No
vember 1906.
1900 thirty ton plain box cars,
deliveries to begin March 10th
1906 and continue at the rate of
500 per month until completed.
1850 thirty ton plain box cars,
deliveries to begin in May 1905
and continue at the rate of Is to
20 per day until completed, maxi
ing total of 3,729 cars, practi-
caly all Of which will be avail
able in time for the next cotton
crop.
The Southern il apparently
determined to do its part towards
overcoming the car famine from
which all lines in the country
have suffered during the past
year, and which has been a
source of much annoyance to
shippers of all classes of freight.

Friendly Advice

Advice is cheap, and for that
reason little attention Is paid to
II, but when accompanied with
common sense ideas, should re-
ceive some consideration.
1t doesn't take a wise man to
reason that the law of supply and
demand is the principal one gov
erning the price of all COM
modities. A big crop of cotton
is worth more than a small one,
though it costs a great deal more
to plant, cultivate and gather it;
and our advice to every farmer
in this territory is to plant no
larger acreage than last year,
to make every thing possible at
home. With his corn, meat,
molassas, milk and butter, he can
hold his cotton or sell as he feels
like it, and thereby completely
govern the price. Without united
effort along these lines the farmer
will always be at the mercy of
the cotton specul ators.
They are organizing and pro-
missing a reduction of acreage of
other places and we piney woods
people must help the CAUSE.

Highest Railway Bridge

4 notable engineering work is
now being executed in France,
and involves the construction of
a viaduct crossing the Sioule
valley near Vauriat. The struc-
ture, known as the Fades Viaduct
when completed will be the
highest railway bridge in the
world, the level Of the rails being
434 feet Z inches above the bed
of the stream. There are two
granite masonry tower piers
which are founded on solid rock
and rise to height Of 303 feet.
These piers standing alone have
the appearance Of large Chin
meys, but their fu notion is to
support the three steel spans,
which have the unusual lengths
of 472 feet inches for the center
span and 378 feet for each of the
thanking spans. The latter con
meet with masonry approach
spans formed by circular arches.
This bridge differs from other
structures in the use of masonry
instead Of steel for the center
towers, and the use of lattice
girder- r-deck spans instead of the
arch construction of either
masonry or steel, a favorite |
method of crossing such a valley.
