William James SingletaFy.

mig III WUeH NEWS lSdSllCu ISlC
that Mr. " ] Singletary was
dead. Mr. Single tary had a num-
Der of relatives and friends here
and considerable business
interest, his energy and enter
prise having contributed largely
toward the material growth OF
our town. His death, coming so
suddenly and unexpectedly, is
sincerely mourned by all who
knew him.
William James Singletary was
born in Williamsburg county
abont fifty years ago and all
his life was spent on his farm
near Single postofice. He be-
gan life with limited opportuni-
ties and small patrimony, yet
by hard work, good judgment
and close application to busi'
ness he acquired a competency
and was one of our county's
largest property owners. He
had high ideals of business in
tegrity and his word was Gas
good as his bond.''
Early in life he was married
to Miss Mary Eta Courtney, a
daughter of Mr. S B W Courtney
of our town, who with two sis
ters, Mrs Perkins and Mrs
Daniels, and his two nephews,
Wesley W and Hampton N
Courtney, whom he legally
adopted several years ago, are
his nearest surviving -Ielatives.
The circumstances attending
the death of Mr. 'ingletary are
touching. A series of revival
meetings was in progress dt
Lake City Presbyterian church
and Mr. Singletary was taking
great interest in them, never
missing a service. Accompanied
by Mrs Singletary he went to
Lake City Friday afternoon to
attend the evening meeting.
About 7:3O O'Clock, just before
preaching commenced, he was
standing in front of the church
engaged in conversation with
Mr. H H Singletaiy. He turned
away from Mr. Singletary to
see about his horse, which was
hitched near by, ,and after taking
about four steps fell forward
on the side-walk-dead. The
cause of his death was heart
disease, with which he had been
affected for some months.
The funeral services were held
at Lake City Presbyterian
church on Saturday afternoon.
at 90 clock, being conducted by
Rev A r Woodson of Manning,
assisted by Rev Mr. Trenholm,
the pastor of Lake City church.
The large crowd assembled
attested the esteem in which the
deceased was held among the
people who knew him best. The
funeral discourse was simple
and impressive, being based on
the text: "The steps of a good
man are ordered of the Lord"
The pall-bearers were: Messrs
A II Williams, j A Green, l. l.
Caldwell, J E Brunson, } D.
Singletary, A M Parker, ) J

Saturday evening the remains
were taken to the home of the

Mr. Singletary was a member
of Lake City Presbyterian church
and took a lively interest in all
its institutions. He was liberal
in his support of every worthy

he was kind and affectionate
denying his loved ones nothing
within his power to promote
their comfort and happiness.
Mr.. Singletary served two
terms in the State Legislature
about fifteen years ago wher
he voluntarily retired from pol

WINTER WOOD.

1t has long been known that winter

ting down trees for their timber, but
until the American bureau of forestry
published the results Of some expert
ments no one was sure why. The bu-
reau Of forestry selected four pine
trees Of the same age and of equal
vigor, growing in the same soil, and
felled them, the first at the end of
December, the second at the end of
January, the third at the end of Feb
ruary and the fourth at the end of
March. They were hewn into logs of
the same size and dried at the same
place. Then the logs were tested.
The December log resisted a fexile
strain twice as strong as that which
the March log resisted. 1t furnished
piles which were still perfect and I'M.
decayed sixteen years later, while the
piles made from the March log had
rotted within three or four years.
Wood that is felled in December is
less porous than that cut at other
times. 1t has been proved that oak
felled in the spring allowed water to
percolate through it in from two to
three hours, while similar wood cut in
December was seemingly impermeable.
There is a very simple method Of as
three hours, while similar wood cut in
or in spring. The former con-

TWIN EARTHQUAKES.

Among the most interesting eartt

shocks are felt. separated BY an inter.
val of two or three seconds. In eacb
series the vibrations increase to a
maximum and die away. the whole

being eight TO twelve seconds. In some
parts of the earthquake zone the most
powerful shocks are nearly always of
this kind. When they occur, how
ever. there is always a strip of coun-
try where only one shock is felt.
Apparently there are two distinct
points of origin for these shocks, and
the strip where a single shock is felt is
that where the two sets of vibrations
arrive simultaneously. The fact that
this band is straight shows that the
twin shocks occur together and that
therefore one is not a consequence OF
the other. Probably there is an S
shaped bend in some interior layer of

COPIED NAPOLEON.
South American Dictators Who lmi-
tated the French Despot.

Jul NfIlSIISdH GtCISICFS WHO tnt.
tated the French Despot.
The dictatorship of Castro in Vene-
zuela has been compared with that of
President Francia, who terrorized Par
aguay for over thirty years. Francia
was a worshiper of Napoleon, whom
he endeavored to initiate in every pos
sible way. He possesses only one por-
trait of his Idol, a German caricature,
which depicted the emperor wearing
an exaggerated version of the famous
gray o%vercOat. Francia took this pic
ture seriously and for many years pa
raded the streets of Asuncion clad in
a gray dressing gown and a cooked
hat, which he fondly believed to be
the habitual garb of the French des-
pot.
Castro's most distinguished predeces-
sor was also a Napoleon devotee, but
Bolivar had seen his idol and could
thus initiate him more faithfully. He
managed to acquire the emperor's
brusque speech and other mannerisms,
pulled peoples ears when in a good
humor and dictated dispatches to sew
eral secretaries at once. He founded
an order closely modelled on the Lee
gion of Honor; surrounded himself
with a guard Of negroes from Haiti,
after the style of Napoleon's name

of his country. When he return
