hearty support to institutions of genuine
amusement, and no less ready.t lend help
ing hand to the support of those which tend
to the public good and individual benefit.

Capt. J. R. Gardner and Mr.. H. W. Hope, Of
Home Relief Lodge, Knights Of Honor, of

We are not prepared to speak Of the merits
or dement's of this order; but most naturally
conclude that with such gentlemen as the
above-named members and advocates of the
order, there must he good in it. We sincere
ly hope that it may prove beneficial to those
who have espoused its cause. s.,
We are informed of the fact that Mr.. Din
widie Garrison, son Of Mr. Mark Garrison, is,
it is feared, hopelessly insane. The malady
has come upon him gradually; but not until
within the past two weeks has hesshown any
signs of violence. After an examinatien by
Drs. j. w. and w. r. Fewell, he was pro-
nounced proper inmate for the lunatic asy-
lum, and has been accordingly sent to that
institution. Religious excitement is the cause
of his disorder. He. is about thirty years Of
age, and has wife and one child. His con;
dition is.much to be deplored, and it is hoped
that, with proper treatment, his mind will be
restored. ed" -..it 2.3 r..> .....
Mr.. Alfred H. Sweat, a much respected el-

Carolina during that period, though former
resident of this county. While in town on
the day mentioned, be. met many of his old
friends, who extended to him their friendship
and pleasure at seeing him again, by indui-
ging in a social glass of whisky. 1t proved
too much for the odlgentleman, and he was
overcome by the subtle fluid, in which condi-.
ton, late fin the>afternoon, he wandered off
from Rock Hil1-goiug, he did~not kaow:
where's YJqst before daylight on Sunday NOR
ming, he reached D, e.. Glenn's house, and
was taken in. Mr. Glenn found that his con-
dition yas such as to. require the attention Of
physician. DR.. Hope was called. The old,
man had several hard conyulsions, producing
death, supposed to be the result Of congestion,
of the stomach and bowels, caused by his in
toxication ON Saturday S'$SMr. Sweat was
about rs Years o'd. He was a high toned,
honest man, and had many friends. LUX. 4
