HIS MIND UNBALANCED The Sad Fate of A Young Man to Attend  Confrence. Durham, Sun. 12th.  The Stewart Hotel has a very  unpleasant guest, in fact so much that he has to be guarded all the time to  keep him from doing himself or others harm. His name is James H.  Barnhill, a young man about 26 or 28 years of age, who came here last Friday  to attend the Conference, from Bethel, N.C.  After his arrival he went  immediately to the Stewart Hotel and registered, and has since then become  insane.  His people were notified, but as yet no word has been received  from them. It is indeed a pathetic sight to see a young, intelligent,  well-educated man in his condition - away from home and friends, and more  especially is it so in this case, when one has become with his life's history  and the causes which led to his insanity.  He was a poor boy, and had an  oldmother and sister who looked to him for their support.  He worked hard  and educated himself,but studied so hard at school and since that his mind has  become impaired.  His mother and sister are still depended upon himfor  their living. Unless the authorities hear from his people by t0-morrow  morning, he will be taken to hishome,in Pitt County, and turned over to the  sheriff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- May  17, 1895.  Charlotte Observer.
