DEVISING PLANS
FOR RESUMPTION
BANKS BUSINESS
OFFICERS ARE thus ENGAGED
Prospect Seems to Brighten
Somewhat

While deposiuors or the suspended
bank here do not doubt that they will,
eventually, get back all of their money,
the fact that considerable delay may
necessarily ensue before the final in
stallment is paid, as usually is the case
in bank settlements, disturbs them no
little They would prefer to have It
paid back to them as it was deposited
in many instances--in lump sum-
But circumstances alter cases and
they will be glad now to get It back at
all-lump sum or in Jumps of any
size.
Progress is being made in the eX-
animation of the banks books and
records but it may yet require several
weeks to complete this herculean task,
owing to the condition in which many
of the books were found. In the mean
time Receiver Dunlap has no infor-
nation for the public.
1t is said, however, that a well-de-
vised plan is now under consideration
and which, il adopted, may mean the

tional and a resumption of business.
This statement is made upon authority
of a gentleman allied with the bank,
and who is in position to know. The
proposition, he said, was fully dis
cussed yesterday
Details were not given, but two
plans, he stated, were being consider
ed. One plan has in view the early
opening of the bank and immediate
payment of depositors. The other plan
contemplates the organization of an
other bank, that will take over in its
entirety the crippled Americas Ma
tional, pay off it's obligations and con-
tinue business under a new name and
charter
The Americas National has valuable
assets, and this latter proposition, it is
asserted, will not be bad venture At
all events the officers and friends Of
the institution are hard at work in an
attempt to formulate some plan that
will relieve as soon as possible the
tense situation and, more especially
to pay back to the 800 depositors the
amounts due them.
Friends of Assistant Cashier G. D..
Wheatley, Jr., express the belief that
he will return to Americas in a few
days-perhaps this week-though this
is but surmise. They do not think
he has gone beyond Atlanta, where
friends saw him only a few days ago.
That he will soon return home no one
seems to doubt.
