Considerable excitement was caused around the courthouse late yesterday afternoon when Lewis Bennett, colored, 52, of near Mount Olive was brought to the city and papers secured for committing him to the colored insane asylum here. Bennett has been sick for several weeks, and on Saturday he was seized with attacks declared to somewhat resemble those produced by hydrophobia. He was foaming at the mouth, and two men were required to keep him quiet.
