of hose in action.
There were two sick children in
the house at the time, but taese
were removed to the homes of neigh

The case of Dr. J. J. L. McCullers
against, the board of county commis
sioners over the possession of the
office., ot county health officer will
be appealed to the supreme court,
ihis was the statement today by Mr.
H. M. (failing who, with ex-Governor
(.. H. Aycock. is appearing for Dr.
McCullers in this case. Judge
Peebles, as was first announced in
ihe 'limes, held the election of Dr.
McCullers invalid for the reason
that tne county board of health, In
his .opinion, 's not a legal body,
since the constitution forbids the :
holding ot two offices. Judge Peebles
construed the county board of health
as a separate and corporate bod v. In
which event the mayor ol: the coun
ty town, the chairman of the board
ol county commissioners and the
county superintendents of public In
st ruction are not qualified to sit.
Miould the supreme court hold with
Judge 'Peebles, every board of health
in the state would be illegal.
