SEMI-ANNUAL DIVIDEND.
Reading Voting Trust PROLONGED
for Two Years.

Philadelphia, August 27.-The direc-
tors of the Reading railway met today
and declared a ~semi-annual dividend of
n per cent. on the first preferred
stock of the company, payable October
1st. This cuts the dividend in half and
has the effect of p~rolonging the voting
trust now controlling the affairs Of the
company for a period of two years.
Had the dividend been at the rate of
two per cent. h voting trust would
have been at an end under the proyis-
ion that the property shall revert to
the control of it, shareholders when
dividends at the rate OF 4 per cent, per
n shall have been paid for two
successive years. The last three semi
annual dividends were each 2 per cent.
and today's would have completed the
necessary period had the directors de-
cided upon a 2 per cent dividend.

A TRESTLE BURNS.
Train Getting Up High Speed Wns
Signalled Just in Time.

Especial t o The Messenger.)
Fayetteville, n. c.. August 27.-Just
before 4 o'clock this morning flames
were discovered Oh trestle No. 200,
known as the Pearce's mill trestle, OPP
posite Captain J. NJ. Goddard's vine
yard. one mile south Of town on the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad, and the
wooden structure was so badly burned
as to block travel for several hours.
A dramatic feature or the trestis
burning is the fact that the belated
1:2O train. which was late, was just
gettink up terrific speed to make up
time, after leaving station here, when
it was pulled down by frantic signal
in the dim morning light, made by a
workman at the Holt-Morgan mills But
for him. the train would have dashed
on to the burned trestle.

Triton, Ga, August 26.-The ~coroner's
jury, after an all day session ~investiga-
ting the death of Hillman Paulk. the
wealthy farmer found dead and mutt
lated in the road near here Sunday, re-
turned a verdict of death at the hands
of Mack D. Paulk. his brother, who Is
in jail. During the day a citizens mass
meeting was held to consider the death
OF Paulk and the matter of illegal
liquor shops. There were threats Of
summary justice for the accused man,
and it was agreed that the blind

Public indignation is at fever heat, al
most as much at the whiskey dealers
as against Paulk and there may be
trouble.
