DIR. MILLS SUCCEEDS j. II. LIGON.
Elected President of Board of Health
In Place of j. II. Lyon, Resigned.

At a recent meeting Of the board
Of health DR.. w. E. Mills Of this city
was elected on the recommendation
Of the mayor as President of the board
Dr. Mills is now city physician and his
election as president Of the board Of
health will meet with the general ap-
probation Of the people of the city.
The resignation Of Mr.. ]. r. Lig-
on, who has been president of the
board Of health for several Years was
received and read at the last meeting
of council and Mayor Jennings stated
at the time that he had not yet given
the matter sufficient thought to make
recommendation, but that he would
make a temporary appointment until
the next meeting Of council when he
would be ready to make a recon-
mendation for a permanent appoint
ment. Following the appointment of
Dr. Mills as temporary president Of
tHe DOdTu, the DOarQ met ana elected
him president.
AS the work of the city physician
requires DR.. Mills to keep himself in
formed Of the sanitary conditions in
the city and any epidemic Of diseases
it was thought by the board that his
election rs chairman would further
the work against diseases in the city.
as the chairman of the board has
authority to act in cases which arise
without calling a meeting of the
board of health, and as chairman of
the board DIR. Mills would have au-
thOrity to give instructions to the
health officer Immediately upon the
outbreak Of any epidemic of disease.

LIEUT.. LYKES LOCATED.
Army Officer Dropped from Roll and
Branded Deserter.

washington, Feb. 26.-Information
has reached the war department Of
the whereabouts Of Lieut.. Gibbes
Lykes. Of Lykesville, S. c., who was
dropped from the army rolls as a de-
serter several days ago, after un-
availing efforts had been made for
many months to locate him. 1t had
been feared by the family that Lieut.
Lykes had committed suicide.
To restore Lieut.. Lykes to his DO
sition In the army and to his citizen
ship would probably require a special
Act of Congress. At the instance Of
Senator Tillman, the war department
had extended the time allowed the
lieutenant before branding him as a
deserter, and it is most unfortunate
that he was not found a few days
earlier.
