THE FAITH OF HIS CHILDHOOD
AcnOsticism Abandoned by a Man of
Intellect on His Death-Ised.

DR.. JIM. Jones, and one OF the most
intellectual of the states physicians,
who has been prominent as a practi-
toner, as a man Of rare poetical gifts,
is in the last stages Of consumption at
the home of his son-in-law, Mr.. j. A.
Setter, near China Grove. DR.. Jones
has written considerable verse hat
sounds as prettily as Poe's love songs
He has also been pointed out as the
most skeptical Of Rowan men, though
not looked upon as living in open re-
bellion to the Deity, in whom he Las
expressed faith, though no hope OF tu7
ture life. Last week he protested le-
turning faith in the teaching of his
childhood and avows the insufficiency
of agnosticism to console the living
or to cheer the dying. To a minister
and a friend, he expressed an abiding
faith of the Scriptures. This as
a surprise to those who knew him
best and expected him to live always
in unbelief. DR.. Jones son-in-laW, MIR
