The owners of the home at 622 Peniel Road, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Kempton, had left town Thursday evening al 6 p.m. On Friday evening at 8:16, the Polk County Sheriffs Depart ment received a call about the fire. When investigators arrived, they found a trail of liquid from the kitchen door to the burned out bedrooms, and a newspaper which was used to start the blaze, Chief Deputy Calvin Atkins said Monday. "The fire had smothered itself out," he said. But smoke, fire, and heat damage had claimed about 90 percent of the interior and contents of the house, Atkins said. Atkins said some sort of liq uid was poured in each bed- room, on the beds, and a trail of liquid was poured through the hallway to the kitchen door, where the fire was apparently set. Tlie State Bureau of Investi gation and Polk County Sher iffs Department are investigat ing. Atkins said they have no suspects at this time. Kempton works in construc tion management with Tryon Estates. New Arrival A son was born Saturday, Aug. 3, 1991 to Earl and Jean nie Chandler of Saluda.

Man Charged In Moonshine Sale Tryon Police officers Curtis Abrams and Mike Lawing arrested a Spartanburg man Saturday night after discovering moonshine. The officers were driving by the gravel parking lot off Maple Street when they noticed two individuals acting suspicious, Chief Nathan Shields said. When the officers approached the men, they saw two gallon jugs which turned out to be illegal liquor. While at first the men denied any knowledge of the jugs, one man eventually admitted that they belonged to him. James Curtis Zempel of Spartanburg was charged with possession with intent to sell and distribute non tax-paid liquor. When police searched Zem- pel's car, they found 14 more gallon jugs of non tax-paid liquor, Shields said.
