.OR. SINGLETON IS
KILLED AND WIFE
SERIOUSLY HURT

DR.. 0. G. Singleton, a prominent
physician of Fort Valley, was instantly
killed, and his wife very seriously ini-
ured, in an automobile wreck five
miles north of Fort Valley Friday
night.
DR.. and Mrs. Singleton and two
ladies had been to Macon to witness
tie production "The Birth of A Nation ;
at one of the theatres in Macon. I'm
mediately after the show the party
started on the return trip to Fort VAL
ley. About ten miles from Macon the
lights on Dr. Singleton's car went out
and he was forced to drive the ma
chine by the light of car immediate
ly behind his. Siv miles from Fort
Valley the car behind passed DR..
Singleton and he proceeded without
any lights.
At the scene fthe catastrophe is a
long hill and in attempting to pass this
hill DR.. Singleton drove too near the
edge of the highway and a cave-in of
the high embankment was the result.
DR.. Singleton was caught underneath
the steering gear and the others were
thrown clear of the car into a bank
OF mud. The people in the car which
had just passed DR.. Singleton heard
the screams fthe occupants in the
latter machine and they returned to
render any aid possible. They were
unable to move the heavy car, large
Speedwell, from the body and were
forced to await further aid
Soon after the accident an Americus
party composed of Sam Gatewood,
Dudley Gatewood, Hugh Bassett, Joha
Frank Thomas and J. o. Macarthur, ar
rived at the scene and they, with the
help of others present, succeeded in
raising the car from the body of DR..
Singleton.
DR.. Singleton was very well-known
in Americas where he often came and
his death is greatly deplored here.
