(Camels) and second largest stockholder in the newspapers. Uncle James demanded that the managing editor be fired, but Publisher Gray refused. Last month, in a bitter dispute between a doctor and nurses at the county hospital, the county commissioners-led by a director of the Gray newspapers-sided with the doctor; the editors, again with Gray's approval, gave the nurses' side...
