Fortune Succeeds Dr. Ed-mund, Harrison—Other Buaineaa Transacted by the County Commis-sioners. The March meeting of the county commissioners was held Monday and yesterday, all the members of»the board being present. Monday morn-ing the sanitary board met with the commissioners, the members of this body, in addition to the commission-ers, being Dr. J. P. Turner, of Greens-boro, and Dr. M. F. Fox, of GuUford College. At his urgent request, the board accepted the resignation of Dr. Ed-mund Harrison as county superintend ent of health, and upon motion of Dr. If. F. Fox, Dr. A. F. Fortune was elected as his successor. As a mark of appreciation of the services of Dr. Harrison, the follow-ing was adopted: "Resolved, That we regret the ne-cessity which compels Dr. Harrison to sever his relations as superintend-snt of health of Guilford county. Dr. Harrison has handled the matters af-fecting the public health with great tact and courage, and throughout the late smallpox epidemic the county was fortunate in having such an of-ficer as Dr. Harrison in charge, thus saving the county much money in ex-penses, and at the same time con-fining the epidemic) to only a few people and narrow boundaries." Dr. Fortune, the new county super-intendent of health, is one of the most popular and prominent young physicians in Greensboro and is well lualifled to perform the duties of the jffice to which he has been elected. Dr. Harrison has made an enviable record in this position, and the work will be carried on well by his succes- SUIT AGAINST THE COUNTY. Chairman Davidson Brings Action to Teat Validity of Statute. In order to test the validity of the statute passed by the legislature of 1907 fixing the compensation of coun-ty commissioners. Chairman J. A. Davidson yesterday instituted suit against Guilford county for $3.80 as per diem and mileage for services rendered the county under instruc-tions from the board of commission-ers. The suit was brought before Squire D. H. Colling, who gave judg-ment for Mr. Davidson. The county appealed and an effort will be made to have the case argued before Judge Ward during the present term ot court, in. order that it may reach the Supreme court as early as possible. King & Kimball appear for Mr. Dav-idson and the county is represented by County Attorney John N. Wilson. The act of the legislature says members of the board of county com-missioners shall receive $3 per diem and mileage of five cents a mile for all regular and special meetings and adds that this "shall be full com-pensation for all services whatso-ever." At the February meeting of the aoard Chairman Davidson was in-structed to inspect the bridge across Reedy Fork at Hardie's mill and re-port at the next meeting. He made his report Monday, at the same time filing a bill for his per diem and mileage. By agreement of Mr. David-son and other members of the board, .t was decided to refuse to pay the oill in order that a test case might je brought to test the validity of the statute. JOHN L. KING INDICTED. Not He The commissioners adopted the fol-lowing concerning the death of Coun-ty Suveyor H. M. Robinson: "Resolved, That this board recog-nized in Mr. Robinson a most faith-ful and excellent officer, whose ser-vices were very satisfactory to the county. "Resolved 2, That the secretary of this board convey to the family of the deceased the sympathy of each and every member of the board in this time of their great sorrow." Prof. Frank L. Foust, principal of the Pleasant Garden high school, was elected county surveyor to succeed Mr. Robinson. The board granted the petition heretofore filed for the establishment of a drainage district on Haw river, in Bruce and Oak Ridge townships. A petition was received from local Farmers' Union No. 947, of Sumner township, requesting that the county convicts grade and. work the road leading from Hodgin's store to the Coletrane mill road, and it was order-ed that two days' work be given this road, the petitioners explaining that this would be satisfactory. A committee from Sumner town-ship appeared before the board in behalf of the new Randlenian road leading from Greensboro, and on mo-tion Commissioners Davidson and Tucker were appointed a committee to inspect the road, with power to act. The board rejected the petition for -he opening of a road from Bessemer avenue to Ridgewood avenue, in Greensboro. Petitions were received for build-ing two bridges in Rock Creek town-ship— one acros-i Big Alamance and one across Little Alamance. An es-timate as to the cost of the proposed bridges was asked for, to be present-ed at the next meeting of the board. A petition for tAe opening of a public road in Monroe township.lead-ing from Poplar Grove church to Rudd station, was received and or-dered advertised. Jurors for Criminal and Civil Courts.

Before adjourning last week the grand Jury returned a true bill against Mr. John L. King charging him with violating the law in having business i transactions with the county while a member of the highway commission. The indictment was found on a pre-sentment made by a former grand jury last fall. Counsel for Mr. King endeavored to | have the case tried during last week's term of court, but the condition of the docket was such that it could not be reached. It was set for Wed-nesday of the April term. In the meantime the aldermen have taken no action In regard to the re- I cent hearing of charges against Mr. King—at least no announcement ot, any decision has been made. While public opinion is divided as to the merit or demerits of the case, ' it is not amiss to say that no one believes Mr. King guilty of corrup-tion or intentional wrong-doing, the people backing and sympathizing with the prosecution simply charging that Mr. King violated a state statute when he, as a member of the high-way (commission, sold material and stock to the county and when, as a member of the board of aldermen, che city had busines dealings with aim individually and with a firm of which he is a member.

Fortune Succeeds Dr. Ed-mund, Harrison—Other Buaineaa Transacted by the County Commis-sioners. The March meeting of the county commissioners was held Monday and yesterday, all the members of»the board being present. Monday morn-ing the sanitary board met with the commissioners, the members of this body, in addition to the commission-ers, being Dr. J. P. Turner, of Greens-boro, and Dr. M. F. Fox, of GuUford College. At his urgent request, the board accepted the resignation of Dr. Ed-mund Harrison as county superintend ent of health, and upon motion of Dr. If. F. Fox, Dr. A. F. Fortune was elected as his successor. As a mark of appreciation of the services of Dr. Harrison, the follow-ing was adopted: "Resolved, That we regret the ne-cessity which compels Dr. Harrison to sever his relations as superintend-snt of health of Guilford county. Dr. Harrison has handled the matters af-fecting the public health with great tact and courage, and throughout the late smallpox epidemic the county was fortunate in having such an of-ficer as Dr. Harrison in charge, thus saving the county much money in ex-penses, and at the same time con-fining the epidemic) to only a few people and narrow boundaries." Dr. Fortune, the new county super-intendent of health, is one of the most popular and prominent young physicians in Greensboro and is well lualifled to perform the duties of the jffice to which he has been elected. Dr. Harrison has made an enviable record in this position, and the work will be carried on well by his succes- SUIT AGAINST THE COUNTY. Chairman Davidson Brings Action to Teat Validity of Statute. In order to test the validity of the statute passed by the legislature of 1907 fixing the compensation of coun-ty commissioners. Chairman J. A. Davidson yesterday instituted suit against Guilford county for $3.80 as per diem and mileage for services rendered the county under instruc-tions from the board of commission-ers. The suit was brought before Squire D. H. Colling, who gave judg-ment for Mr. Davidson. The county appealed and an effort will be made to have the case argued before Judge Ward during the present term ot court, in. order that it may reach the Supreme court as early as possible. King & Kimball appear for Mr. Dav-idson and the county is represented by County Attorney John N. Wilson. The act of the legislature says members of the board of county com-missioners shall receive $3 per diem and mileage of five cents a mile for all regular and special meetings and adds that this "shall be full com-pensation for all services whatso-ever." At the February meeting of the aoard Chairman Davidson was in-structed to inspect the bridge across Reedy Fork at Hardie's mill and re-port at the next meeting. He made his report Monday, at the same time filing a bill for his per diem and mileage. By agreement of Mr. David-son and other members of the board, .t was decided to refuse to pay the oill in order that a test case might je brought to test the validity of the statute. JOHN L. KING INDICTED. Not He The commissioners adopted the fol-lowing concerning the death of Coun-ty Suveyor H. M. Robinson: "Resolved, That this board recog-nized in Mr. Robinson a most faith-ful and excellent officer, whose ser-vices were very satisfactory to the county. "Resolved 2, That the secretary of this board convey to the family of the deceased the sympathy of each and every member of the board in this time of their great sorrow." Prof. Frank L. Foust, principal of the Pleasant Garden high school, was elected county surveyor to succeed Mr. Robinson. The board granted the petition heretofore filed for the establishment of a drainage district on Haw river, in Bruce and Oak Ridge townships. A petition was received from local Farmers' Union No. 947, of Sumner township, requesting that the county convicts grade and. work the road leading from Hodgin's store to the Coletrane mill road, and it was order-ed that two days' work be given this road, the petitioners explaining that this would be satisfactory. A committee from Sumner town-ship appeared before the board in behalf of the new Randlenian road leading from Greensboro, and on mo-tion Commissioners Davidson and Tucker were appointed a committee to inspect the road, with power to act. The board rejected the petition for -he opening of a road from Bessemer avenue to Ridgewood avenue, in Greensboro. Petitions were received for build-ing two bridges in Rock Creek town-ship— one acros-i Big Alamance and one across Little Alamance. An es-timate as to the cost of the proposed bridges was asked for, to be present-ed at the next meeting of the board. A petition for tAe opening of a public road in Monroe township.lead-ing from Poplar Grove church to Rudd station, was received and or-dered advertised. Jurors for Criminal and Civil Courts.

Before adjourning last week the grand Jury returned a true bill against Mr. John L. King charging him with violating the law in having business i transactions with the county while a member of the highway commission. The indictment was found on a pre-sentment made by a former grand jury last fall. Counsel for Mr. King endeavored to | have the case tried during last week's term of court, but the condition of the docket was such that it could not be reached. It was set for Wed-nesday of the April term. In the meantime the aldermen have taken no action In regard to the re- I cent hearing of charges against Mr. King—at least no announcement ot, any decision has been made. While public opinion is divided as to the merit or demerits of the case, ' it is not amiss to say that no one believes Mr. King guilty of corrup-tion or intentional wrong-doing, the people backing and sympathizing with the prosecution simply charging that Mr. King violated a state statute when he, as a member of the high-way (commission, sold material and stock to the county and when, as a member of the board of aldermen, che city had busines dealings with aim individually and with a firm of which he is a member.
