Death of Mr. Andrew
The community was shocked on
Sunday to learn of the sedden death
of Mr. Audrew J. Burckhaltcr early
that morning at his home on the South
ern outskirts of*Aiken.
He had been suffering off and on for
a long time from an abscess in his ear
and although confined to his bed for
three days before his death, was con
sidered very much better and relieved
of his trouble. But during Saturday
night he evidently had a stroke of
apoplexy from which ho died early
Sunday morning. Ilis funeral will be
conducted at the Aiken Baptist church
at three o’clock this afternoon.
He was in the 70th year of his age
and had been always a farmer near
Aiken.

A Worthy Charity.
A worthy charity, and one much
needed by the negroes, has been re
cently instituted by Mrs. Sheffield
Phelps. It is a day nur-ery for negro
children of not over five years of age,
whose mothers go out to work, and
have no one at tneir houses, who can
take care of their children, while they
ara away. The institution is just the
same as obtained on every plantation
in the South in former times
A nice tw T o room cottage has been
built on the lot of St. Thaddeus mis
sion on Greenville street, and comfor
tably furnished and put in charge of
an old, and respectable negro woman.
Every day about 15 children are sent
there and put in charge of this woman.
They are req ired to be clean, and at
noon a simple but abundant meal is
given them, and in the afternoon their
mitherscall for them, and carry them
home.
There have been so many cases of
children suffering in various ways, and
even being burned to death, while left
by themselves at their houses, that this
cnarity of Mrs. Phelps w r ill be appreci
ated by all who know T the conditions
that obtain in the So.ith.

whom he is |
ot yet been j
A well known doctor of Minneapolis
who has made u specialty of nervous
diseases lias found a new remedy for
the “blues.” As no drugs are admin
istered, he has felt safe hi experiment
ing with lit least a half hundred melan
choly patients and now declares him
self thoroughly satistied with the good
results of his treatment. Ills prestrip
tion reads something like this: “If you
keep the corners of your mouth turned
up, you can’t feel blue.” The direo-
tlons for taking are, "Smile, keep oo
smiling, don't stop smiling.” It sounds
ridiculous, doesn’t it? Well, just try
turning up the corners of your mouth,
regardless of your mood, and see how
It makes you feel. Then draw the cor
ners of your mouth down and note the
effect, and you will be williug to de
clare “there’s something iu it.’’
The doctor treats his nervous pa-
tleuts to medicine when necessary,
but when the case is one of pure mol
ancholy. without bodily ill. he simply
recommends the smile cure, lie h:i^
the patient remain in his office ana
smile. If it isn’t the genuine article, it
must at least be an upward curvature
of the corners of the mouth, aud the
better feelings follow inevitably. The
treatments are followed up regularly,
and the patients all testify to their
good effect. It takes considerable per
suasion to induce some of them to ap
ply the cure, and of course the greater
number of patients are women, for
when a man is blue he is bound to be
blue in spite of everything, but a wom
an Is more easily persuaded to try to
tiiul a cure.
The doctor declares that if persons
will only draw down the corners of
their mouths and use sufficient will
power they can actually shed teats
Un the other baud, ! f they will persist
ently keep the corners of the mouth
turned up pleasant thoughts will chase
away the gloomy forebodings. Ilia
discovery grew out of an experience iu
his own home. Ilis wife was of a nerv
ous and rather morbid temperament,
and when in a despondent mood hc-
would ask her to “smile a little” until
the saying came to be a household
Joke. But it brought about good re
sults. and then came the inspiration to
try the same cure on others.
