Washington, Au. .1. It. was stated at the White House to-day' that President Taft does not ex pect to attend the open air page ants at Glouchester, Mass., next Wednesday. The President had accepted an invitation to attend the celebration, contingent upon the adjournment of Congress. Mr. Taft will not leave Wash ington until the tariff bill be comes a law and no one predicts the passage of the bill through the Senate prior to Thursday night at the earliest. After signing the bill the Pres ident will leave for Beverly, where he will have a stay of something more than five weeks before starting on his long trip through the West and South. The Senate having retained the appropriation of $25,000 in the urgent deficency bill for the President's traveling expences, only one obstacle remains as a possible bar to the trip. That is Mrs. Taft's health, and if- she continues to improve as steadily as she has sine taking up her residence at the summer capital, the President's trip will be taken to Beverly is rapidly; making its. plans for the transfer of the seat of the government from Washington to the Northern seashore. Office furniture and filled with documents, that are likelv to be needed for reference, will be shipped to Beverly on Wednesday. The President hopes to get away either Friday or Saturday afternoon. - - ; y The Person Dry ,: Goocjs Go's. AYz cent shirting is worth . 7' cents, it is the greatest bargain ever offered in Roxboro.

Call on us f or PLANS TO FIGHT MOSQUITO. I New Orleans Councilman Would Set an Insect to Catch an Insect Would Use Hair Worm to Exterminate the Other Varmint. . T New Orleans, La., Aug. 1, Anew method to be employed n the crusade against the mos quito, which insect, accredited with being the means of spread- ng yellow fever, has been fought unremittingly by New Orleans for the . past several years, is being actively urged. by Councilman Frawley, of this city, whose theory is to set an insect to catch an insect. He asserts , that this - principle t has the backing of the United States marine hospital service. ' It has been proved. " declar ed Councilman Frawley, "that what is commonly known as the hair worm has a family feud with the mosquito. We should confront the mosquito with this worm,. We should convey the latter in large quanities to the swamps, morasses, gutters and cisterns and leave them in soak to wait for their hereditary ene mies." It remains to be seen whether or not the councilman's sugges tion will meet with practical ac ceptance. Thomasville Druggist Bound Over to Superior Court. Special to The Observer.
