The damage was, estimated to-day at
somewhere between $4,000 and
$1,000, with only small amount
of insurance.
The fire originated in the loft of
the barn, from some unknown cause.
The building was an old one, made
of the best material and probably
cannot be replaced at any price.
This is the second time in a few
years that Aycock & Sons have lost
their barn and stables.

Finds Foe of Boil WeeviI.

New Orleans, Dec. 11.-After ex-
tensive experiments, Father Albert
Biever, Jesuit scientist Of this city,
has announced that in his opinion
the Argentine ant, a Louisiana pest
which is the despair Of housewives,
is the South's most effective enemy OF
the boil weevil. 1t was found that
the ant will destroy the young wee
wills and eggs, but the assault on q
mature weevil is another matter.
The scientist is firmly of the opinion
that in time the ant will bolster up
sufficient courage to attack grown
up weevils, but not until he is "ed-
ucated" up to it.
Il believe that these ants will
finally exterminate the boil weevil,,
said Father Bevier. ''They destroy
all other ants by attacking the nests
and destroying the eggs. They will
treat the weevil similarly"
Further experiments are to be
made.
