SMILE AND WATCH KoROoVA
 GROW

GROW Smile when you're all alone; smile
 in a crowd, Smile awhile softly, then out loud. Smile from your brow to the point of
 your chin; Smile on the outside, and then smile in. Smile when the sun shines; smile when 1t rains. Smile in the meadows; smile through the lanes. Let other people grumbIe and revile; Just keep feeling good and keep that
 smile. Smile when you've roast beef; smile
 when it's hash, Smile when your business is going to smash. Smile when you cant have things
 your way, Smile when you're singing and smile
 while you pray. Smile when you have no work to do, Smile when you have so much you
 cant get through, Maybe your best coats way out of
 style Go in shirt sleeves but wear that
 smile. Smile by a fixed rule; smile off-hand, Smile when you cant even under
 stand, Smile like a hen determined to set. Smile like a race horse winning bet. Every time dyspepsia makes an at
 tack Smile like a jester and drive it back. Beats all the doctors seventeen miles. Quit taking physic and take smile. Smile life-size if you're a married
 man. If you're bachelor smile if you can. Smile at funeral-don't disgrace Even a dead man by making a face. Maybe that scowl has grown on tight, Dislocate your features and set them
 right, Smooth out the wrinkles, get rid of
 your bile; Everybody loves you when you smile

ELECTRIC CUR|N G. 0F SWEET POTATOES.
Alabama Power Company to Cooperate With Auburn
 In New Process

In conjunction with the horticul- tural department and other experts at the Auburn experimental station, the Alabama Power company will this coming season test the feasibility and economy of electricity in the cur ing of sweet potatoes
 Through arrangements with Prof. George Starcher, head of the horti- cultural department, Prof. A. St. c. Dunstan and Prof. R. G. Briggs. sweet potato specialist of the experi- mental station, preliminary arrange ments for a thorough and scientific test have been made.
 As soon as the matter was broached to the Alabama Power company, Vice President R. A. Mitchell at once CO., | operated with the Auburn authori- ties, and the company has agreed to furnish the electric fluid for the test free ofNcharge
 | The Auburn experts, for their part, are to keep accurate account of the amount of electricity used for the l first two weeks in drawing out the moisture from the potatoes Gan av- craze heat of S5 to 95 degrees being required for the period), and the amount required to maintain an av- craze heat of 50 degrees during the winter while the potatoes are being kept over for the spring market.
 Based on the report of these ex- perts, it can be determined exactly how much electric fluid will be re- l quired to cure and keep certain quantity of potatoes over the winter. | and this will determine the feasi- bility and economy of the use of cleo | tricity.
 Colonel Mitchell Is sanguine of good results. He said: If it is eco homie, as I believe 1t will be, there can be a commercial sweet potato curing and storage house wherever | the wires of the Alabama Power com pany penetrate. which is already over more than half the state. Farmers could bring their potatoes to the cur ing house the day they are gathered, grading them as they follow the blow, | and pick them from the ground. 1 There would be but one handling prior to bringing them to the spring | market.

Mystery Surrounds Wreck
 OF Fast Train on Southern
Russell Hunt Relates His Experiences When Passenger on Train Wrecked Near Hattiesburg-Praise for
 Engineer Who Stuck at His Post

'Tt is certainly a peculiar feel ing to wake up in the night in your berth in a Pullman car to find that the rest of the train has been wrecked around you and to believe for the time being that many of your fellow passen- gers have been seriously injured" said Russell Hunt of 3816 Lake View avenue yesterday, who was a passenger on the Southern fast train No. 42 from New Orleans, which was wrecked near Hatties- burg, Miss, shortly after II o'clock Tuesday night and re- suited in the death of the fire- man and the engineer.
 Practically all the passengers in the Pullman that I was in had retired early" continued Mir. Hunt, "and I believe that all of them were asleep when we were suddenly awakened about Il o'clock by the train coming to quick stop and then a pumping, 1t seemed, of the car In which we were riding with the car ahead of 1t.
 T hurried into some clothing and got out upon the ground about the same time with the rest of the passengers. We saw people trying to get the fireman and engineer from out of the engine cab. understand they have both died now, but Iwant to say that if the engineer had not stuck to his post and applied the brakes and checked the force of the engine as much as he did that none of us might not have been left to tell the tale.
