JASPER M'CARLEY IS
 MISSING FROM HOME
Disappeared From Florence on Sep tember % And Nothing Has Since
 Been Heard From Him.

Florence December r. (speciaD.-Jas- per McCarley. of this city. a well-to-do farmer and ex-postmaster of Brick. Ala, disappeared on September 22, and nothing has been heard of him since and it is suspected that he has been the victim of foul play. McCarley is widower about 60 years of age. He was last seen at the street fair in Sheffield in company with a woman.
 McCarley has a son living at Brick, Ala. and a married daughter near Leighton, between whom he was accus- toned to divide his home and he fre- quently spent a month at a time with friends in Corinth Miss. He had been talking of going to Corinth and his son supposed he was there until he mad been missing three weeks. On learning that he was not in Corintn, the police of Florence and Sheffield were notified and started an investigation, but so far the case completely mystifiees them. The woman with whom the old man was last seen says he did not go to her house and her statement Is corroborated by negro who claims to have seen him after he left her.
 McCarley had been in correspondence with a woman in Ohio whose acqualn- tanee he had probably made through matrimonial agency, but 1t is not believed that he went to visit her as he was roughly dressed when he left home and carried none of his good clothes with him. Tom McCarley, the son of the missing man has $2500 of his fath- CTS money which he says he will spend If necessary to find him.

 New York, December 1.-The Financier says this week:
 The statement of the New York clearing house banks for the current week Is note worthy as marking a continuance of liqui- dation and deposit shrinkage, both oper- ating to increase the surplus reserve without the addition of actual new cash. The estimated movement of money last week showed a loss of little if any cash, hut the statement of averages reported a decrease of almost $3O0,000. Loans con- tracted. $22 0Sl 700, an unusual figure, and deposits fell off $21. .9225OO. The loss of the latter of course made the requirements
 
 serve on deposits much smaller, and this explains the increase of s5,1s14 425 in ex- cess reserve, that item now standing at $14546, 625, the highest reached since the closing of October.
 In the period indicated, however, specie and legals held by the banks have de- creased about s29.000, 900, while surplus reserves have fallen off only two and a quarter millions. This rather anomalous condition Is accounted for by the de- crease of $10S, 100000 of deposits, and $S2,- 100000 in loans.
 Just what portion of these decreases Is to be accounted for by actual liquida- tion, and what portion by shifting loans to trust companies Is uncertain, but that large percentage is to be attributed to such shifting, is no. to be denied, par ticularly since the stock market has been active during much O. the time. In the current statement it is noticeable that operations of the larger banks go to make up many of the most important decreases. Probably liquidation in the market will be urged as reason for the falling off of totals but other forces must have been at work also It Is an interesting commentary on the situation to note that the deposits of the clearing house banks are now lower than at any time within eight months, while not since June 20 last or roughly, in six months, have loans been so small as reported now. The New York banks have been gaining cash steadily from the insurance for a number of weeks, and there is nothing that foreshadows a change In ths re- spect.

Of Public instruction and DR.. w. l..

After stating the present condition of
the outbreak DR.. Cooper asked for che
views of those present as to thc best
means Of stamping out the disease be-
fore it has time to make further ina
roads.
superintendent Atkinson did not think
that it would be wise to close schools
as there would be additional danger of
the children contracting the disease if
they were given liberty to play about
the streets and along the waterfront.
This met the views Of all present. The
Board Of Education, the Superintendent
said, would rigidly enforce any precau-
tionary measures which the Board of
