SMILES AND FROWNS
IJell Church
In the midst of toiKaiid strife
There is pleasure to be found;
And to get the most from life,
Wear a smile and not a frown.
In our study of hygiene,
Of the muscles in the face,
It is easy to be seen,
That frowns' leave the deeper trace.
Frowns bring clouds,
And smiles the sun, -"Smiles,"
say-jfheerowds,
"Are much more' fun."
hiding place for loot.
A raid was organized and direct
ed by the one who made the re
port.' The officers went out just
beyond Duncan Park and started
their search for the cave loaded
with, supposed stolen loot, and aft
er a time located an entrance.
In the meantime, Zachary Tay
lor, a farmer of that section, saw
the officers and went out to as
certain the trouble. Thety told
him the object of the visit, and he "
advised them to follow him and -he
would show them one of the
best potato houses in South Car
olina, one that he had built in the
hillside in which he stored mora
than 100 bushels last fall and they
kept perfectly. ,
The officers visited the potato
house, and declare that Mr. Tay
lor has built a house which is prac
tically perfect. The potatoes are :
kept at an even temperature and
do not spoil, but keep perfectly,)
and can be sold during the winter
. when potatoes are high. -.
Mr. Taylor took advantage, of J.
" the natural lay of the land and
made his potato curing and pre
serving plant which has been
profitable to him. He has beau
tiful acres of alfalfa growing: on
his farm, and is a believer in di
versification. Irish potatoes and
track are grown, and in addition
he operates a dairy.
The one who made the report
did so in good faith. He was not
accustomed to seeing men go un
der laurel bushes in getting to
the store, and having seen moving
pictures of secret cave with two
entrances this had two entranc
es Jand. having read stories of
how the lawless would make se
cret hiding places for their loot,
he felt sure that he had run up
on the real find.
Mr. Taylor treated the affair at
a joke on the officers and seemed
to enjoy it very much.

The National Bank of Goldsboro
distributed 1,000 plants of the Young
variety of dewberries to 300 farmers
of Wayne County. The plants were
grown by the Coastal Plain Station
