LAWRENCE COUNTY :.

First Well Going Down Four Miles North of Mount Hope

Moulton, June 21.-(Special )--For several weeks a number of deter mined men in and around Moulton have been working quietly to deter mine whether that much desired of natures products-oil-fs hidden be- meath the soil of Lawrence county. and Il beEins now to appear that the latest county to enter the field for searching will be the first to sue ceed in the state. Up to dste, it Is said ty those who know that Law renee county is the only ons in the state that has really shown oil in commercial quantity
 The Lawrence County oil and De- Vetopment company is drilling it's first well--Craig No. 1-about four miles north of Mount Hope. in the western part of the county The well is on 4,000-acre tract. At 50 to 63 feet it passed through an asphaltic sandstone with small showing of oil. at 100 to TIT feet the drill passed through another stratum of the same which yielded a good showing of oil: from 137 to I49 feet it passed through blue sandstone, which showed a considerable amount of oil. This later stratum contained enough oil that it could easily be squeezed out with the hand and be smelled at any point around the well; there was little gas in the bailings. and all the bailings and slush ditch were covered with real live oil colors and n scum Of brown oil. This sand was blue when drilled out, but dries out brown in color and in Jumps, the oil causing such action. Samples of each may be seen at the well, where Mir. Sauls. the field manager of the com pany, keeps an accurate leg of the drilling and preserves a sample of each stratum passed through.

 The haunted house acquired its name through the rumors that lights have been seen in 1t at extended in- tervals Several people have given accounts of having seen glowing red lights moving slowly about on the floors. They state that they are clus- ters of small lights and are deep red in color, with an occasional dark yell low. They are never brilliant, but are soft and glowing, and seem to move about as if being dragged along. The lights are rather small and indistinct.
 Quiet for Months
 Until last week no reports of lights have been heard for several months. Wednesday night 1t was reported that the lights had been seen in the house In the past, no one has ever attempt ed to analyze the cause of the lights, but in this instance one man Sonciud- ed that he would learn something about them. He is Lennox Morgan of this city, and who has recently re- turned from Oglethorpe university.
 The night following the report he went to the scene to await new de- velopments, and to determine If pos sible the reasons for it.
 He waited less than an hour before hic curiosity was rewarded. He per ceived through one. of the rear win- dows countless bits of dark red lights creep into the room on the floor. They moved very slowly. He climbed through the window and threw the rays of flashlight upon it. He was amazed to see not 10 feet away rat tlesnake as large in circumference as his arm. The thing drew itself into coil and began working its rattlers.
 Kills Reptile
 Morgan clambered back through the window and procured heavy stick He then returned and killed the reptile When it's body was stretched out and measured, it totaled five feet seven inches. It had II rat tiers and was one of the largest that has been killed in this section.
 Morgan was puzzled as to the lights, but local men who are familiar with chemistry state that the lights were simply phosphorus which was generated by the decomposed vegeta- ton between the rotten flooring, and when the snake crawled among IL, particles of the element clung to the scales of his body, and at night when he moved about people could occa- sional,y see the soft glowing element without discerning the snake
