Sa vanan is None of Your L'ttle two by Four Towns Savannah, Ga., September 25. J. F. Lester, of Valdosta, who has been making arrangements to es tablish a national bank here with a capital of SIOO,OOO, has received a letter from the competroller of the currency stating that he will have to make his capital $200,000 in order to receive a charter for a national bank. The competroller has reasons to believe that Savannah is a city of more than 50,000 inhabitants, and under the national banking laws in a city of that size or above no national tfunk can be established with a capital of less than $200,- 000. The competroller would not take the census figures, which give Savannah less than 44,000. Mr. Lewis will make it a State bank and capitalize the institution as originally intended.
