THE COTTON BELT
 DECLARES DIVIDEND

The directors of the Cotton Belt Railroad have declared d Semi-an- nual dividend of } 1-2 CT cent on the preferred stock, thus placing it on per cent basis. Dividends were started at I per cent last sum- mer. At the same time the board of directors issued the following state ment:
 ''The net income of the St. Louis Southwestern for four months was $664 ,000, and in view of the very sat isfactory earnings for the first four months of the fiscal year the direc- tors believed that the D referred shares were entitled to dividends at the full rate of 5 per cent per an mum. This favorable showing was made in the face of short cotton crop and the view prevails that with the improved conditions of perman- nent way and increased equipment, together with the excellent outlook for general business, the company can maintain this rate of dividend and have a good surplus.

TWO AUTOMOBILES
 HIT MEN AND RUN
FATHER AND SON ARE STRUCK BY MACHINE NEAR POWDERLY, AND A YOUTH IS KNOCKED DOWN IN RosEDALE.

Two automobiles ran down three people yesterday afternoon. and in each in stance the driver of the machine in- stead of stopping to assist the injured people, put on full speed and quickly disappeared
 One happened on the Bessemer road a short distance from Powderly, Will Alex ander and his 10-year-old son, Henry Alexander being struck by large tour ing car. They were walking down the road and did not hear the car until 1t was in a few feet of them.
 The chauffeur was trying to stop the ear and checked it's speed somewhat, but struck them with considerable force. MT. Alexander turned saw the automo- bile and picking up his son jumped to- wards the side of the road. The chauf- feur cut the front wheels toward the other side of the road and the side of the car struck him, throwing the father fat on his face and sending the boy through the air several feet beyond him.
 Both were stunned for a moment and when they managed to get to their feet the automobile was in the distance, and in few seconds had disappeared. An attempt was made to have them stopped further down the road, but without suc- cess
 Beyond a few scratches and the severe jolt neither Alexander nor his son was hurt much.
 The other accident was similar, hap pening in Rosedale. Simpson Carty, d youth of IS years, being run down by a touring car, which he thinks was Franklin. He didn't know the automobile was anywhere in the neighborhood until it struck him. His face was badly scratched while his clothing was torn al most to shreds. He landed on his hands and dislocated a finger, and had the skin peeled off the others by the graVel lh the roadway.
 Two women and a chauffeur were In the machine which struck the AleXanders, while Carty states that the machine which struck him was full of men and women.
 Both instances were reported to the authorities Quite a number of accidents similar to these two have occurred dur ing the past few weeks the chauneurs not even stopping to help the persons they injured

BRYAN ASPIRES
 TO BE A SENATOR

Chicago, March 15.-William J. Bryan, in an interview here today, impressed his auditors with the idea that he will be a receptive. if not an active candi- date for the United States Senate from Nebraska in 1911 to succeed Elmer J. Burkett, republican.
 ''Nebraska has adopted the Oregon plan of popular elections" said MT. Bryan. "I don't know yet whether l will be a candidate. A senatorship I aspired to even when boy. If there seems to be a good chance to elect to the Senate from Nebraska some other democrat II will please me better than to be a can didate myself. l have said repeatedly that I hope l may never again be a can didate for office. I would not say thai would never under any circumstance: accept another nomination, because nc lone is wise enough to look into the flu lure and decide on conditions in advance M think the democratic party is in bet ter condition than at any time since 1892 and that it has excellent chance to control Congress in 1910.
