Dr .1 J. L. McCullers, through Ills attorney, Mr. Bart M. Catling, will lea(1Ing from Wilkeflold throilgh Zeb flght through the courts the legality ulon t0 the Johnston ennntv of his appointment as county super- intendent of health, and There will be no compromise so lar as lie is con- eerned Application was made In Goldsboro this week to restrain the county board of commissioners. Dr. Sorrell and Dr. Stephens from inter fering with Dr. McCullers in the ills charge of his duties as superintend ent of health, but Judge Peebles de clined to issue the injunction. The law requires sanitary inspec tions and quarantine in case of eer- tain contagious diseases. The conn ty board of health recommended to the secretary of the state board of health the appointment of Dr. Mc Cullers, the appointment was made and the fees of the office fixed in ac cordance with the recommendation made at a joint meeting of the state medical society and the state board of nealth In' Charlotte last June. ThiB recommendation was made to all the counties as a system of eqult . able compensation for all health of- licers and does not apply alone to Wake county, but to all appointments made by Dr. W. S. Rankin, secretary to the state board of health. Should a contagious disease occur at one of he convict camps or at the Jail, it is contended, there Would be no power in the county having the authority to quarantine and the board of county commissioners are held responsible for this condition. Drs. Sorrell and Stephens at the re quest of the board of commissioners, are performing the duties of the of fice Insofar as they are able, but would not have any authority, It 'is claimed, to quarantine a contagious disease. They were made defend ants to the action brought by Dr. Mc Cullers for this reason, and the issue will be fought out to the end. Injunction was sought on the ground that? Drs. Sorrell and Steph- ens are enjoying the emoluments of the office beloncinir to Dr. McCul- lers. and it would be verv difficult ta ascertain what the fees would have been after the lapse of several months. If Dr. McCullers wins, and manv nersons believe he will the suit against the county will result la the navment of three nhvslcians instead of one IliK Parade Tonight. Detroit, Aug. 23.
