He is survived by: a brother, W. C. Singleto*.; his mother, the widow of the late C lhonn Singleton, and one sister, Mrs. Snowden. L. D. Sing.eton started out in life aj a teacher in the public schools of Horry County. Following that for several iieara, and reading law at ofld chances, he entered the law department of the South Carolina College, nnd ornrlnatofl in fhnt. Hpnavtmonf nnrl opened a law office here in partnership at first with his brother, W. C. Singleton. In the year 1008, he was elected to the House of Representatives as a member from Horry County and served for two terms, going out of that office in 1912, to become a candidate for S'ate Senator. To this', office he was not elected, but the following year, upon the death of the late Walter H. Wells, solicitor of. this judical circuit. he was appointed by Governor Blease as solicitor to fill out the unexpired term. He filled the office of solicitor for two years and about the end of that service his health failed. However, three years ago, he again became a candidate for State Senator, but did not make a very active campaign. This was the time when Senator Jeremiah Smith was elected to the office. He was forty-one years of age at the time of his de.ith. He was never carried. His law library and office furniture are left to his brother, W. C. Singleton, who has not been active in law practice for a number of years.

PRESS ASS'N IS URGED TO .COME A strong invitation to the South Carolina Press Association >9 hofd its t^inual convention at 3ottcK aj^ain this year has bceru fotWsrdec! to Secretary H. C. Boofter oy the Conway Chamber of Commerce. Sfamter and Spartanburg are understood to have filed invitations also, but the local Chamber of Commerce is h?pe+'ul of securing the convention. It will be recalled that the last convention of the association was held here and proved to be an occasion of real pleasure to the entire county. More than ?> hundred guests were entertained. The matter of securing this year's convention was first laken up with Mr. Booker under date of March 20, in a letter from the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. To that letter Mr. Booker replied in part as follows: "I am prom*? to be perfectly frank with you and say that when our committee met here to select the place of next meeting:, every member was in favor of returning to Myrtle Bench, but or\e or two of us took the position that to return would probably be taxing the hospitality of Conway too much. I felt this way about it, that while the people of Conway would, I felt sure, be delighted to have ua, I did not know whether they would" care to go to all the trouble they went to last year again this year. "The personal choice of every member who went last year, and of some v*ho did not go, was to go hack to Myrtle Beach, and if we felt that the oeople down that way really and truly , \vant?rl us. I think the demand to re'um would be so great that the invitation would be accepted." To this letter the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce replied on March 2fith, strongly pressing the invitation and pledging the Chamber of Commerce to do everything in its power to make the meeting pleasant and successful. The matter will be decided on Fri- . day at noon when the executive committee meets in C^umbin. o Notice Confederate Veterans!" I All veterans who went to the War Botwpon t.hl* frmr* r?M Morinn.

HIS RADIATOR The burning of tftle lien house oiv UK# Saturday night Mre* the indirect cwupe of still another injury to Warren /Johnson^ automd&iTe. His /machine is not a Ford, botr fa? one which Warren says is better tflan a Ford. lMs a Port. While it ha* seen great service already, it would* l><? in better :<ft*pe for still more servicer if it had not been that its radintor got punctured last Saturday night by a bullet fired presumably during the? excitement caused by the burning erf Bob McOncken's chicken pen. In ^wrder that our readers may sympathize with Warren in this Inst turn in* the run of bad luck regarding his car, let us go back to last Thankifgrcing Day, when Mr. Johnson was'efVfvitiflr this rar nlonir thp nnfirmnl fteirft way amf was trying to skin by and around a Ford, which had taken the ro?d away from him and wanted to make this Dort eat the dust. On that occasion tfar gasoline line got on fire1. Others along the road saw it before Warren dH. He was hard to makehear under the circumstances, butt when he did' hear the warnings shouted' at him frwm those in his rear, he' acted at once1 by jumping out without putting the" brakes on. This incident7 was disturbing and while it did not1 result in great injury to him it got him into the feeling that a run of bad luck had set in agafnst his car and he had better watcR Ms step. It was just a short time after that when his car was hitched up and resting near the home of a friend. When Warren came out to crank up, low and' behold',, his brand new cushion was gon& Yocr can say what you. please about the gasoline line and the best v/ays of putting this out when it gets on fire, and the quickest way to get outside of the danger zone before an edaptfon takes place in the- gasoline1 tank, but worst of all is the taking of a new cushion out of a car when roads are not so good and lost time mtrst be riiade up. B\it the owner of this car, although he had to driver it ftome while riding on the bare boards was not discouraged. The man who took the cushion must be brought to justice to answer far his^ crime, and-' tfifs was what pened. Warren go*. the cushion back after bringing the culprit before the court. The young man who took the cushion said that it was all a joke, but it was not such a cheap joke for hi'm by the time he' got through with it. Now to> follow urpv Things had been quiet in the history of this car-until Satin-day night when the Hen house got on- lire. Addie H'dt suw the light of' the flames and he l'ud'god that it was time for him to act. was on upper Main street, and was excited' because he did not know just then that ft was only an ordinary chicken house down in the \irnnrlo K?? A? * ?i vmo wy nitr laitnuiu inicK mai was Sjoing up in smoke* He gave the alarm according to the wild west code, by tfrirvg off his pratol. Now, it turns out that the injury to Johnson's car is stiTl another mystery, Johnson asys that this radiator was perfectly good on the y.ir-hf J>efore ^vhen he left his car safely parked by the side of the walk in the business section. While the air would wheeze through its latticed sides, still there was no sign of water there, no matter what the stress that the driver put upon it. But when Johnson went to use this car later the radiator balked "or the first time in its history. In short, it would not hold its water. Before that time it would stand steam, gasoline, anything. In some way it had been punctured. The owner was not present when the Injury was done and so, like it was when the cushions were taken, he could only rely on his ability to put two and two together. He had heard the shooting, he had seen that there was excitement. He heard the shots which alarmed him the same as it did other people, but he had no idea until now that the burning of a chick en house could have any effect on one of the important parts of an automobile. He says that there is only one way for this to have happened; that in the excitement his Dort got shot. ET I Standard War L< will run as usual representing all We hope to 1 coming season.
