Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Aug. 14. —There is no legal standing in the wny of Dr. 'Charles O'H. Laughinghonse taking office ns secretary of the State board of health on October Ist, per schedule, according to an informal “horseback"’ opinion of Assistant Attorney Gen eral Frank Nash, who interprets the recently-ea!led-to-mind statute requir ing that no member of a board of di rectors of any state institution may be elected an official of the board until after §ix months has expired, not lo be applicable to the State board of health. Mr. Nash holds that the board of health is not a “State insti tution” and that hence the law does not apply to it. Thus the opinion is borne out that ihe good doctors of the board knew their onions when they accepted the resignation oil Dr. Laughinghouse from the board of directors and then within three minutes elected him to the post of executive secretary, with moving picture skill and precision.

This newspaper gives her free advertising from which it derives no profit. When she has profitable printing she gives it to a little job printing shop that has no newspaper to boost her business. This newspaper is getting eggs like that all the time from thoughtless townspeople. Many firms in this town that expected to see their nameß mentioned frequently in the columns of this newspaper take their printing to other shops or send it Put of town. This newspaper is getting tired of p’aying the goat to indifferent and unappreciative people. Already there is a hard and fast rule in this office that certain firms in this town who have never given business to this newspaper are not to be mentioned in this newspaper in any news item, unless they commit theft, forgery, murder or some other crime the publicity of which will do them no good. The above rule is going to be ap plied to more and more local Arms, individuals, and institutions.
