aware that getting in the swim
may lead To ruin. but the knowl.
edge doesn't render the puddle
sss attractive.
To those looking on. the swim

Those who fail 70 get in the
swim may console themselves By
remembering that they have
plenty of good company. who
generally come out better in the

The rise in the price OF cotton
has a significance that few people
realize promptly, although every
BODY in the South knows it. Cot
TON is to the South what gram is
to the West. Its price affects not
only the producer, but everyone
allied with him, from merchant to
professional man. High-priced
cotton means prosperity in the
South. A low price means de.
prsssion and uncertainty.

Had Been I'm ASYLUM,

Developments in the mystery OF
William A. Duer. who died at River
side hospital yesterday morning.
took a new turn when DR.. S. Y. lIol-
land, his attending physician. re-
ceived a letter from Thomas w. Car
diner, superintendent of the Hop
kinsville asylum. saying that VIII
liam A. Duer was admitted there for
treatment November 22, 1908, and
was discharged July 3. 1903. Super
lRtendent Gardiner said Duer came
from Sharon Grove, Todd county.
Kentucky, where he had a wife liy-
ing. She made frequent inquiries
about her husband during his con-
finement and a short time before his
parole wrote a letter to the asylum
authorities asking for his discharge.
His mind was restored when he left
and he was supposed to have return
ed to Sharon Grove. Mr. Gardiner
says he knows nothing further about
Duer other than his wife may be
located either at Sharon Grove or
Claymour. Duer is now at Nance q

current year will pay 1851, 500 as
subsidies to the Empress. the Aran
and other lines of steamers for car
rying the mails. The Austrian and
New Zealand governments pay ST.
100000 this year in the way of sub
sides, and the little island OF jana
lea pays a subsidy of 100000 to
the Royal Mail company.
Mr.. MARBLE should reverse his
statement and say that fully IS per
cent OF British shipping interests re-
ceive subsidies In some shape or form
the total amount distributed last
year being s9,6Ss,3si.
Germany.
II is true that the Hamburg-Amer-
lean Steamship company receives no
aid from the German government ex-
cept the ordinary pay for the car
rage of the mail. which is not be-
cause of Official opposition. but IL
due to a refusal OF that company to
comply with the requirements OF the
postofiice department and the fact
that the North German Lloyd COM
pany submitted lower bids. There
was an active rivalry between the
two companies for several years; but
finally an amicable agreement was
reached under which the commerce
is divided between them, and in some
cases It is pooled so that either COM
pany loses by competition. The pol
icy Of the HamburgAmerican com
pany Is TO run slow steamers with
economy and with large cargoes Of
freight, while the North German
Lloyd runs fast steamers and makes
up by its subsidy from the German
government and the mail pay IL re-
Icieves from other countries. for the
space occupied by coal supply, and
the additional expense of speed. For
example. last year we paid the North
German Lloyd company s331,562
for carrying the mails and the Ham
burg-American company s90.920.
The German government. at the
same time. paid the Hamburg-Amer-
lean company about 5000 900 and
gave the North German Lloyd a sub
sidy amounting to three times as
much.
