It stem ed clearly to he a case of lost identity and the physicians interested themselves in it and be was taken to the private hospital and has regaiued to a certain extent his mental faculties and is t ble now to give a slightly intelligent account of himself. When ho first came to, his past was to him a total blank. Ha showed no signs of insanity, only being unable to give any account of himself us to who or what he was. He is stilI unwilling to give out anything for publication, for although he can now give his name, and seems to have regained to a certain extent bis memory, lie is unwilling to trust much to it us yet. He says his nutne is Lee, and that he had been employed by a large clothing house in Buffalo, N. V., that he left there last Christmas, and lias been in De troit, Mich., but did not stay there long. H6 does not know when nor why he left that part of the country. He does not remember when ho came to Rock Hill nor how he got here. When he first came here he applied to one of the large dry goods houses foi work, lint now has 110 recollectioh of it.

The physicians seen1 to bo of the opinion that he was sandbagged and the lick on the head has bereft him of all recollection of the past, lie is apparently about dO years of age and seem to bo of more than ordinary intelligence and refinement, and says he bad no family. His case is a peculiarly sad one and both people and physicians have given it close attention and study and efforts are being made to learn wbere his home is and something about him, until which time he will remain here.
