STOCKHOLDERS OF
MORGAN BANK WIN
COURT DECISION IN THElK
FAVOR IN SUIT AGAINST
STATE SUPERINTENDENT.

MORGAN, Ga.-Stockholders OF
the Bank OF Morgan have won their
suit against the state bank superln-
tendent.
Last week the Bank OF Morgan was
taken over by T. r. Bennett state
bank superintendent. as an insolvent
institution Bennett proceeded TO as
sess the stockholders for the beneht
OF creditors. The result was that the
stockholders attacked in the superior
court OF Fulton county the legality OF
the provision in the act creating the
banking department OF the state.
which empowers the superintendent OF
bank to assess stockholders Tor the
Indebtedness OF banks, and on their
failure to pay the assessment IN thir-
ty days to issue executions and levy
on the property OF the stockholders,
The act also provides that the esti-
mate and assessment OF the superin--
tendent OF banks shall be final and
that the stockholders cannot attack
either. but must pay; ii they do not
executions will be issued.
The act was attacked on the grounds
that it was unconstitutional and void,
being in conflict with the due process
clause OF the state and federal constl-
tutions, and also was retroactive.
Judge A. L. Miller OF Edison,
brought both the suits and Judge
George L. Bell, OF the Atlanta circuit,
granted temporary injunction which
will be made final at the hearings, as
he has already rendered decision IN
&
favor OF the stockholders in similar
case
Another point raised in the suit is
relative to the asses sments that have
been made against the bank. In 1921
the stockholders we're assessed 90 per
cent OF the value OF their stock and
paid that in, and after running the
bank a short time were assessed 500
per share on their stock OF the par
value of $500, making total assess
ment OF $160 on each share OF $500.

BANK CO. COOPERATION
URGED BY SAVILLE
CUSTOMERS ASKED TO GUARD
AGAINST UNFOUNDED RU-
MORS. MAY DO HARM.

The close relation which the banks
hold to the business -of the community
is never more clearly shown than in
the unusual situations which often go
with establishments OF the balance be
tween the various industries, such as
farming in the country and manutact-
uring in the cities. At these times it
becomes plain that any community
which expects to carry on its business
transactions successfully and to make
steady progress has need OF strong
banks. And the ability OF the banks
to give the kind of service which viii
be of greatest benefit to the commu-
nifty depends to a large extent on the
cooperation which they receive from
their customers.
This is the way Mr.. r. L. Sayille,
president OF the Dawson National
bank. summed up an interview on the
relation OF banks and customers.
I'm recent years bankers have had
a great deal to say about the cooper
alton they are ready to give to bust
ness firms and individuals said Mr..
Saville. and this is natural because
the banks consider that this is an OBJ
legation to the community which they
are glad TO acknowledge.
On the other hand. little has been
SAID to suggest that the customer can
cooperate with the bank, and in do
ing so will gain some decided bene-
fits. Some of the ways in which the
customer can cooperate are matters
simply between himself and the bank,
but in addition to these there IS one
method of cooperation which ! regard
as highly important
This is the cooperation which he
can give his bank by guarding care
fully against repeating any unfounded
statements which may be harmful to
any bank, or to banking generally.
In some parts OF the country inn
mense damage has been done, not on
" to the banks but the business actlv-
ity of the entire community, by the
spreading of statements which, if not
entirely false, are badly exaggerated.
The fact that these statements may
be proved groundless later on doesn't
undo the mischief done at the time.
1T should be remembered that
banks are governed by strict laws and
in the vast majority OF cases are wise
ly managed by men Of good judg-
mcnt and wide business experience,
insuring a high degree OF security for
their customers.
Customer cooperation means not
alone development for the bank, but
more effective service by the bank in
upbuilding the community"
