Burned TO Death.

Scy Davis, a negro man. about
sixty. years old and his twelve-year-
old grandson were burned to death
near Brogdon Station, just before day
light Sunday morning when the small
log house, which they occupied. was
burned. Their bodies were almost
entirely consumed and if there was
foul play the flames destroyed all
evidence Of it. The old man is re
ported to have had about $500 in his
possession a short time ago, and
there is suspicion that he may have
been murdered and robbed and the
house burned to conceal the crime,
but there is no evidence at all to
substantiate this suspicion. Coroner
Scale investigated the case Sunday
morning and empanelled a Jury to
hear the evidence obtainable, but a
verdict was not announced, as it was
thought advisable to make a fuller
investigation.

There are differences Of opinion as

the list to be published has to do with
the present discussion 1 cannot see.
The fact still remains unchanged
that there are folks in the city who
ought to be in the country at work
when they are needed, and this is no
time to run any risk of our food sup
ply, and it is just as bad to let them
consume our resources as to send that
much supplies to Germany. AS long
as this sort of thing is tolerated it is
nothing less than stabbing our army

they will listen to the persuasion of
