Snake Bites CuItist
AT Closing Ritual
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
STONE CREEK, Va, Sept. s.
Without the State police to inter-
fere, the Holiness Faith Healers of
Stone Greek concluded the final
summer demonstration yesterday
with mass handling OF seven
poisonous reptiles.
Only one cult member was bitten
the Rev. Lambert of Middleburg,
KY, who sustained a bite on the left
hand which was swelling noticeably
at the end of ceremonies.
The snake was reported to have
bitten two other cultists in previous
rites and was described as being a
vicious mother copperhead which
recently gave birth.
The Rev. Bill Parsons, leader of
the Stone Creek group, told cultists
that the demonstrations which were
dispersed earlier by State troopers,
attracted fan mail from soldiers
stationed at every war theater in
the world, several foreign countries
and nearly every State in the Union.
Part of the rituals consisted of
tests with flaming torches, which
the members apply to bare skin as
proof of their faith"

Secession Avoided.
Public pressure had forced the

Special Grand Jury
Called TO Study Loss
OF Wise Poll Books
BY the Associated Press.

NORTON. Va, Sept. 8. - John
Roberts, Commonwealth's attorney
of Wise County, announced last
night that Judge George Morton has
stated he will call special grand
jury to investigate the alleged ir-
regularities in the August 7th Demp-
cratic primary and the reported loss
of poll books.
The irregularities are charged by
attorneys for L. Preston Collins, who
lost the Democratic nomination for
lieutenant governor to Charles R.
Fenwick by margin of 572 votes.
According to Mr.. Roberts, Judge
Morton will call for the grand jury
investigation this month, although
the exact date has not been set
Judge Morton will open a term of
Circuit Court today in Jonesville
Lee County.
Promises Searching Inquiry.
Mr.. Roberts asserted that the
grand jury investigation would be
searching and that full investi-
cation of the missing books would
he presented before jurors.
1t has been alleged by Mr.. Collins
attorneys that Is poll books tabu-
lating election returns in Wise
County are missing, although the
deputy county clerk in Wise County
testified that they were filed in the
vault of the clerks Office after being
examined by an election board.
Meanwhile Judge Joel Flood of
the Circuit Court of Appomattox
said he would call a special grand
jury at the earliest possible time,
possibly this week, to investigate
returns in the county. one of four
counties in which Mr.. Fenwick al.
legged that illegal votes were counted
to the advantage of Mr.. Collins.
Watkins M. Abbitt, Commemorative
attorney of Appomattox, said he
would disqualify himself for the in
vestigation because of his activity
as State campaign manager for Mr..
Collins, and ask for the appointment
of another prosecutor for the case.
Election Law Revision.
AS Democrats awaited the decision
of Judge Julien Gum of Richmond
Circuit Court on Mr.. Fenwick,s mo-
ton to quash the contest brought by
Mr.. Collins, it became increasingly
clear that the Republicans would
take advantage of the Democratic
dispute to emphasize election law
revision in the gubernatorial cam
paign.
State Senator S. Floyd Landreth,
Republican candidate for Governor
said Saturday at Martinsville that
public findings" given the people in
the Democratic dispute demon
strate beyond equivocation that the
election laws are such that the
free will of the people cannot be
expressed either in a primary or a
general election"

similar conditions should in general produce similar results

production.
For there is not much geological difference in the
100 miles north of the border and the
120 miles south of the border

Except that the 100 miles north of the border
the Standard of California really went after Devonan pro-
duction, thereby opening up the Princess field
In the geoogicaly similar SOUTH of the border,
there has concerted effort really find out what lies
beneath the Madison lime When effort really made
open up Devonian production SOUTH of the border oil will

In the meantime now is good time to buy royalties,
while values based the results found by shallow
drilling.
