Flvine Machines Busy.

London, Dec. 27.-00:5O p. MI
The airmen of the belligerent coun-
tries spent busy Christmas holiday.
While a solitary German airship flew
over the Thames Estuary and dropped
a single bomb which fell in roadway
and did no damage, a convoy of seven
British naval seaplanes visited the
German naval base at Cuxhaven anu
dropped bombs on ships and the gas
works. All but one of the British air
men returned safely to the ships
which conveyed them. Similar activt-
ty was displayed along the battle from
Gsrn1an airmen paying a surprise
visit to Nancy; French aviators to
Metz: British to Brussels and other
Belgian towns occupied by the Ger
mans and German airmen to Polish
cities.
Accounts Differ.
AS usual, accounts of the damage
done differ. While bombs were drop-
ned during these flights, most of the
flights were for accommodating.

in the home OF Mr.. and Mrs Charles
II Singleton by the burning to death
Thursday afternoon of their little
g 1-2-year-old daughter, Martha. About
$3.50 yesterday afternoon the child
was discovered to be on fire. Half
an hour earlier she, with other chill
dren, had been enjoying herself firing
off sparklers, and it is thought that
her clothing caught in this manner.
Her clothing was almost entirely burn
ed, leaving her little body in such
condition that medical skill could
rot save her life. The burns were
dressed by DR.. E. T. Kelley, but the
Little victim could not survive the pain
and shock and died at 11:3O last night.
Mr.. Singleton recently moved his fam
lily here from Kentucky and is well
known in Charleston and other Sec
tions of South Carolina, where he has
for some years been building con-
tractor.
The above news will be received
with regret by the many friends of the
Eereaved parents, who lived several
years in this city.
Mrs. A. M. Cover, sister of Mr.. Sin
gleton, left here Friday for Kingstree,
where she attended the funeral SER
