A negro tenant house on the property of Jacob Long about three miles from the steel bridge, on Kinuard'a ferry road to Saluda, wan soaked with kero seno, and set on tire when the three i m mate a were supposed to be in bed and asleep. A negro woman, Sallie lteudy, was living in the house with her blind mother and a smail child. One of the women was awakened by the bln/9 in time to summon aid and check the head way of the flame before much damage was done.
