pLANTERSBANK
MAY ENLARGE
New Charter. With Dou-
BILE Capital Limit,
Asked

Notice of the application of the
Planters Bank of Americus to Secre-
tary McLendon for a renewal of its
charter appears as legal advertise
ment in another part of this paper.
The present charter expires October
13. 1921. having been granted by an
act of the legislature thirty years ago
The terms of the old charter Pro-
vide for a capital stock of $4,000,
with the privilege of increasing to
$150,000, but this privilege has never
been exercised That plans are in
the making for expansion in this re-
spect, however, is indicated by the
fact that the application asks for an
amendment to the terms of the old
charter permitting an increase of the
capital stock to 100000, by proper
notice under the terms of the char
ter.
L. G. Council, president of the
Planters Bank of Americus in whose
name the application is made, stated
today that no immediate steps were
contemplated looking to expansion of
the aaaital stock eff the bank.
"This change in the charter" said
he "is asked merely to provide for
possible future growth. 1t is posi-
BILE, however, that at the annual meet
ing of the directors next February
action may be taken doubling ou"
present capital stock, raising it from
$4,000, the present figure, f.
100000.
eve have never yet felt the need
of making this change, for we havg
accumulated q good surplus which
operates just the same as capital, and
in enlarging the capital stock, unless
new money was paid in, instead Of
simply converting some Of the surplus
into stock, the banking facilities
would not be increased particle. We
have always believed in maintaining
surplus Of at least two dollars for
one of capital for absolute safety
Now and then we are compelled to
take a loss. and unless we maintain
a surplus there is nothing to which
to charge this loss. 1t is of the
greatest Importance to have good
surplus at all times.
"We are very grateful to our Gus.
toners and friends who have favored
us with their business and helped US
to make the success we have made
Of this business. That is about all |
can say at this time"
The Planters Bank is rated among
fnanciers not only of the South, but
on Wall Street, as one of unusual
strength.
