EX-99.1 CHARTER

Capital City Bank Group, Inc. Chooses not to Participate in the Capital Purchase Program

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.–November 13, 2008–Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CCBG) announced today that it will not apply to the U.S. Department of Treasury to participate in the Capital Purchase Program.

"In conjunction with outside advisors, our senior management team and our Board of Directors have been analyzing the Capital Purchase Program since it was first announced.  After thoughtful and careful consideration, our Board of Directors has determined it is not in the best interests of our shareowners to participate,” said William G. Smith, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Although the Company has decided to not participate in the Capital Purchase Program, the Company has not made any decision on whether to participate in other elements of the federal government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program, when and if these other elements are offered by the Treasury Department.

“We believe Capital City is a strong, well capitalized financial institution with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.76% at the end of the third quarter.  Our conservative culture and risk management practices through the years have enabled us to accumulate sufficient capital to manage through difficult economic times such as the ones we are currently experiencing.  Further, we believe our current capital position, coupled with future earnings, should enable us to continue to grow our business and take advantage of strategic expansion opportunities as they arise.

“While we wholeheartedly support the Treasury Department’s decisive action to help alleviate the turmoil in the financial markets, our Board ultimately believed that specific to Capital City, the costs and other restrictions associated with participating in the Capital Purchase Program outweighed the potential benefits,” added Smith.
