ANT MAY BE
DEATH 0 FBOLL WEEVlL
Jesuit Priest of New Orleans, Believes
He Has Solved the Question.

New Orleans, Dec. 11-After exten-
sive experiments, Father Albert Bic
yer, a 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
Wis and eggs, but the assault on a
mature weevil is another matter. The
scientist is firmly of the opinion that
in line the ant will bolster up suffi-
cient courage to attack grown-up wee
wills, but not until it is Heducated'' up
to it.
81 believe that these ants will final
ly exterminate the boil weevil," said
Father Biever "They destroy all 9TH
er ants by attacking the nests and
destroying the eggs. They will treat
the weevil similarly"

RAILROADS TO
USE SCRIP BOOKS
NEW FACILITIES FOR BIG RAIL
ROADS BEGIN NEXT
YEAR.

On January Z, 1912, certain of the
prominent Southeastern railroads will
place on sale at their principal tic
ket offices, a form of transportation
order, designated interchangeable
penny scrip books, which will be hon
ored by practically all the railroads
in the Southeast.
Each book will contain at time of
sale, $500 coupons of the face value
of one cent each, or $25 in the aggre-
gate, but will be sold for $40. The
coupons of each book, when attached
to The cover and contract thereof and
presented to ticket agents by the orig
inal purchaser will be accepted in the
purchase of transportation between
stations in the Southeast, for his own
use, at the rates and under the reg
ulations set forth in the tariff gov
erning the sale and use of this form
of transportation.
The transportation companies will
sell and honor these scrip books in
addition to the present 2-cent per mile
interchangeable mileage ticket, which
have been on sale for the past sew
eral years, thus making no change in
the existing forms and rates of inter-
changeable mileage books. The scrip
book arrangement is simply an addi-
tional transportation facility.
These scrip books will be used by
all three of the railroads entering
Brunswick.

CHILDERS FACES
AMERICUS JURY
YOUNG MAN ACCUSED OF WIFE
MURDER BEING TRIED SECOND
TIME-JURY DISAGREED.

Americus, Ga, Dec. 11.-Mort s..
Childers, charged with poisoning his
bribe Of six months last August at
Smithville, Lee county, will face a
jury today that will try him a second
time with which he is accused. One
hundred and twenty veniremen had
been summoned and it is expected lit
tie difficulty will be encountered in
obtaining jury.
The first trial of Childers, held
early last month, resulted in a dis
agreement and on motion of counse1
for the defense, who argued that the
prisoner could not secure a fair trial
in Lee county, change of venue was
granted and the case removed to this
county for trial at the term of court
beginning today.
Childers is charged with placing
poison in a bottle Of medicine his
wife was using, thereby causing her
death. At the first trial a chemical
analysis of her viscera, which showed
the presence of poison, was admitted
in evidence, but the prosecution fail
ed to establish motive for the crime
and the result was a disagreement in
the jury room and the ordering Of a
mistrial.

A city executive committee will be

ceiving the highest vote in the pri-
mary will be named. When these
We're selected there was quite a con-
test on an issue being whether or
not the voters of the entire city
should name the ward candidates or
the voting be confined to each ward.
That is-each of the four wards
should name a candidate or candf-
dates and the voters of the entire city
select them. On this issue two tick
cts were in the field. From the city
at large N. Emanuel and E. II. Ma
son We're elected on the ticket op-

following statement this morning:
Il know that every one believes
that all the men are dead, but l shall
not give up hope until the last man
is out. All of the men were my
friends and We have always been
loyal to each other.
Men working in the relief paroles
tell me that they found the dust in
the main entrance wet and made into
balls filling holes in the brattices. l
always Instructed that the mines be
sprinkled to keep down the dust and
am sure that it was done.
In my opinion the explosion may
have been caused by a blowout of a
blasting charge, but the real cause
will probably never be known"

promptly nominated, duly seconded
and unanimously reelected to occupy
the position she had SO we'll filled
for the past term. Mrs. D. l. Addi-
son was also unanimously reelected
to the vice leadership. This seemed
well done, for Mrs. Addison Is a true

her-down that they had paid their
dues: II just know l have!' when

place of Mrs. E. D. Kentzel, retiring
