Be Of Popular Nature. Not

Dr. H. :R." Carter, the Government
expert who is in the city to make an
investigation into the breeding places
of the malarial mosquito, will make a
public address at the court house to
night commencing at eight o'clock.
The public is assured that Dr. Carter's
lecture .will not be of the dull, formal
stereotyped variety, but will be of a
popular nature, spicy and interesting
1 here will be lor one thing an ele
ment 0 doubt in the substance of the
lecture as not : until tonight will Dr.
Carter make knevn his conclusions as
to how Mew Hern stands in the war
on the tnosauito. It is said! that at
one town . where he- spoke he said ue
was surprised that any one would Iixe
there. Whether he will say something
like that about New Bera remains to
be seen.
iHe was busy yesterday isolating
the mosquitos in the various lairs.
In vain were he and his coKpanion
ia the isolating interrogated as to
where the mosquitos that make life
more or less miseraoie, come irom.
The doctor is saving that an5 much

There was one discovery that he made
however., that it will be no breach of
confidence to relate. And that was that
New Bern comes nearer to beine a
flyless town than any he. has seen in
the State. (This probably accounts
for the fact that the warfare on the fly
waged by the City., Beautiful Club
some weeks ago was productive of so
tew ny deaths 'and casually: there
were no flies to kill', or at least not
manv.) Dr. Carter -may say something
about New Bern's fine showing in the
