Brunswick Advertisers Bank Examiner
Mcdonald of Montgomery, Ala, recent APP
polntee of President Cleveland, arrived this
morning and has taken entire charge OF the
Oglethorpe and First National banks. The
clerical force of each bank win assist in the
work. of their respective institutions. Mr..
Mcdonald Will not be able to reach any con
cIuSlOn under a week or ten days as to the
course that may be pursued. His first work
Will be to find out the actual condition Of the
banks, their Liabilities. assets, and the prob
ability of realizing on them. If the embar-
raSSment Is of a temporary pressure that can
be relieved by collections sufficient to bring
either of them within the limits of the law, or
by assessments upon their stockholders,
they Will be allowed to open within a
specified time, the date of which he will set.
II they are found to be in such a condition, as
dercd TO go into liquidation at a stated time.
If they or either are deeply involved in a
general way, a receiver would be appointed
who would proceed by legal steps to wind up
the business. In the latter event the temper
and discretion of the'receiver might lessen or
increase the hazard, according to his dispo-
sttion or lenienCy or eagerness of rapid set
tlement. 1t would be within his power to
place every defaulting creditor in the hands
Of a receiver, OF to accommodate them TO
certain degree. We can only tell by waiting
what will be done and how it will be done.
The term of Mcdonald control of the banks.
or either of them. will be determined by con-
ditiOns and complications existing or liable to
be sprung. Herman Myers of savannah said
he did not refuse Mr. Ullman money Wednes-
day and that the message found in his pocket
was of an old date He sent him s. 800 Just as
the bank closed. It was learned that one of
the messages found was from the vice presi-
dent of the bank refusing to go Mr.. Ull1nan
