M. Jones are carrie i out. Bocguse a few of the papers of the state have raised quite a discussion over reports coming from different quarters Dr. Jones Tue .day morning sent a letter to Gov. Iloke Smith ask ing that every accusation made be care fully examined and that a thorough in vestigation bo made into existing con ditions. Dr. Jones states that every charge made is denied completely. One of the reports being given gener al circulation is reported as coming from R. E. Dumffngton, whom the san itarium authorities state is now out on furlough and not as a sane man. Hon. Thos. E. Watson and Dr. W. S.
