Property damage was estimated in excess of $4,000,000. ' Early In the bight the fire threat-, ened to extend to the Royal Poin cana, another great hotel nearby, and guests were ordered to leave as a precautionary move. Biasing embers were thrown across Lake Worth to West Palm. Beach and the entire north- end-of Palm Beach was consid ^red-in grave danger for a time.

Laughinghouse, of Greenville, for , the past fourteen years a member of the state, board of health, is being widely mentioned as the successor to Dr. W. S. Rankin, who is resigning from the secretary ship of the board to assume charge the convention of ther North Carolina Medical Society. Other physicians who have been mentioned for the . position are Dr. .G. M. Cooper, who has been assistant secretary of the board for two years, and Dr. C. A. Shore, director of the state laboratory of hygiene. Dr. Cooper last night denied pub lished implications that he had stat ed that he would resign in the case certain physicians were . appointed. He declared that he felt that the new secretary should be a resident of North Carolina and should be an out standing man in bis profession, well acquainted with the technical work of the state's health work. "I have the best interests of board at heart too much to miSfe- any disturbance over $ny appointments," he stated. v V. ? ? ? .1 .

Attorney Generajj Rules On Two Sections Utjly of New Automobile Law : ; -? Raleigh, March l^-^I am suggest ing that *11 officer^ agents and em ployees of the State shbuld be careful not to offend against; its. provisions and in cases of doubt get the opinion declares Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt in his finformal ruling on the reeeot?statute forbidding pri vate usd of public ofm?d automobiles. "1 am ruling on these questions only as they .are prtaepted,; said the attorney general witb a smile m ex planation of his faflure to include in his ruling an interpretation of the proviso of section S of the ?&, which to have far reaching and drastic effect - | That proviso readme - -.J I "Provided further, however, that nothing in t&s act shall be constru ed to authorize the purchase or main tenance of any automobile at the ex pense of the state by any state of ficer unless he is rio* authorized by statute to do so." Very few state officers can show that they are "authorised by statute" to maintain automobiles which they have already purchased with state funds. . However, the ruling of the Attor ney General, which was in the fonn. of a reply to an inquiry from Dr. C. Banks McNary, superintendent of Caswell Training school,"settles three points. , ?

The white men, occu- 4 pants of the car, during the excite ment, escaped which followed after .1 the automobile struck the old as- 4 phalt plant building, beside the main highway when the. driver swerved to dodge the barricade. The compact with the building broke' several jars of the whiskey. 1 The contraband was contained in 1 strawboard cartons, apparently rea- t dy for delivery in wholesale lots. At t present bootleg prices the whiskey is f. said to be worth about . $600. c About a year ago local officers had 1 a similar call from New Bern as to t the coming through of a large cargo t of .liquor.

Instead of slow ng up, "the driver swerved the ma- ol hine to the right and crashed info . he side of the frame building, and ^ ie and a companion, both white men, scaped into the darkness before they ould be taken.
