Herl ert McVickei t e bank ca ier of Ellenwood, Ga.. who disappeared mysteriously ten days ago, is known to ' be alive and able to communicate with ; his friends, though his present location is still a mystery. His sister. .Miss Ka tie Lou McVicker, has received a let ter from him in which he said he left because he was despondent. A blow on the head, received in a football game at Locust Grove acade my yeai a is believed by his friends | to b<- the cause of Herbert McVicker’s' I strange disappearance from his home, i : H was behoved just alter McVicker re- ■ iceived this injury that his brain would I seriously bo affected, but he soon re- ■ covered and gave no sign of mental I trouble. His friends now believe that • Increased business cares of the past • i few months brought about pressure on I the brain from a piece of the fractured ; skull, and resulted in McVicker’s mor- ■ bid despondency and his sudden deter- i mination to disappear and abandon his i I affairs. Business Affairs Found in Good Shape. I The letter received by Miss McVick ! er has not been made public, but a man . closely in touch with the McVicker as ; fair, who is in Atlanta today, said he : had learned that the letter bore the ) postmark of a Western railroad, show- Ing it had been mailed -on a train, and ) I hat McA’ieker did not divulge his pres, lent address. In the letter he merely i stated that unusual despondency led to | his disappearance. For the past ten days the police of a | dozen cities, bank officials and friends I have been trying to find 'he missing 'bank cashier. An examination of Iris | books showed that he had not tampered ’ with the bank’s cash nor was he in any financial trouble other than worry over ’ some transactions pending which re i quired a great deal of attention. "Herbert had been building a cotton I gin and some other enterprises.” said I this friend today, "it was worry over ) increased responsibilities which caused I him to jive up and drop out of the I world. I am sure. He had been used to I working for a salary most of his life I and the increased worry of the past • few months was too much for him. ' DeLeon s?tory May ■ Have Been Cause. "His accounts are correct. He had • not touched the bank deposit of a firm I in which he is partner, but had drawn ) only the small amount of cash in his I own personal deposit.' His business af i fairs were all right, but they caused I him a great deal of worry. The case I seems to be almost identical with that I of Moise DeLeon, the Atlanta contrac | tor. it may have been that reading newspaper’accounts of DeLeon’s dis lappearance gave McVicker the idea of quitting everything and leaving. "Mi \ icker was unmarried. He had a sweeth art in Fllenwood. but she says she had done nothing to make Herbert leave. Their courtship had not been broken off and seemed progressing as usual. "We folk in Ellenwood think Herbert would willingly give a thousand dollars to come back and resume his old life without gossip about the past. We wish he would return, for we all like and admire him." TH E WEAT HE R Thunder showers tonight or Thurs day: cooler.

Sept. 18.— Governor Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candidate for the presidency, arrived in Minneapolis today on his first Western campaign trip. The New Jersey execu tive was fresh and rested after last night’s address at Sioux Falls, ami to day plunged into a discussion of the trust problem. He paid most atten tion to tile attitude of Theodore Roose velt and the Progressive and trust problem. In his speech here he said: “The one proposition upon which this campaign turns is whether monopoly is inevitable. That I deny. If monopoly is inevitable, then the thing to do is for the government to take hold of mo nopoly and regulate it. If monopoly is not inevitable, the law should break it up and prevent it forming again. * ‘ Combinations Not Inevitable.” "I believe that monopoly can be broken up. I understand that the lead ers of the third party. who have a great many attractive things in their program, nevertheless start with the proposition that the combinations are inevitable and that the best we can do is to establish an industrial commis sion which will take charge of them. “I deny the fundamental proposition "The proposed method of regulating the trusts was suggested in the inquiry by the house of representatives. E. H. Gary and George W Perkins. Carry out the plan and you will have given a control in the market for labor which will suit these gentlemen perfectly. “I am not imagining these things. As a friend of num- said I am not argu ing with you; 1 am telling you.' These are the actual facts of our existing in dustrial system.” “These are the actual facts of out existing industrial -ystem," said the governor "Now here is the parting of the ways. You say. 'Well, if we are not going to regulate the trusts and control them, what are we going to do?' “Haven't you observed how the trusts were built up? You say. 'Are you going to return to the old-fashioned competi tion I say no. It ta the old-fashioned competition that enabled these men to build up combinations. "Now, the alternative to regulating monopoly is to regulate competition, to say that to go into a community and • RED SOX NEAR PENNANT • • e a The Red Sox are within half a • • game of the league pennant.

I know scores of lawyers who have n the intimate counsel of great corporations and have never ad vised them to do anything illegal, but there ate a great many legal things that you can do now that will put the little man out of business. "And that is the thing we want to change, not the lawyer. You can change the law and then the whole atmosphere will clear.

POUND, HIGHEST SINCE WAR CHICAGO. Sept. 18.—Several thou sand dollars changed hands today at the stock yards, where steers for the first time since the Civil war sold for sll a hundred pounds. The previous high mark was made several weeks ago when the price reached $lO 90. Not only was a neW record set, bur the quality of the steers was below standard. Some of them were branded, which makes their high price seem even higher. There were sixteen of the cat tle and they weie bought by Armour & Co. A year ago the same steers were not worth more than SB. Another feature of the stock yards today' was a consignment of steers fresh from the ranges of North Dakota. They had never tasted anything but grass They brought $9.75. The betting fans of the stock yards are now preparing odds that the price of first-class steers around Christmas time will be sls a hundred pounds. $25,000,000 U. S.
