¶1On Rehearing

Haymond, Judge:

¶2On the rehearing of this proceeding, heretofore granted upon the petition of the contestee, full consideration has been given to the reasons presented in the written brief and in the oral argument in behalf of the contestee to support his contention that the original decision of this Court, with two judges dissenting, should be modified or reversed. Careful review and reexamination of that decision and of the reasons upon which it was based justify the conclusion that it was correct and free from error and that it should not be departed from or altered in any particular. In consequence, the original opinion and the pre*437fixed syllabus points, now reported in 68 S. E. 2d 757, are approved, adhered to, and adopted as the decision of this Court in this proceeding, and the judgment of the circuit court, as indicated in the original opinion, is affirmed.

¶3Affirmed.

Riley, Judge,

¶4dissenting:

¶5For the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion heretofore filed in this case, Judge Lovins and I dissent from the majority opinion on the rehearing of this proceeding and adhere to and adopt without change or modification the dissenting opinion heretofore reported.
