POLICIES VALUABLE IN LIFE as AT DEATH

The Brooklyn Life is the Oaly Company
IN the country which guarantees defin-
lite surrender.value to every policy on
which two or more annual premiums have
been paid; this amount, in dollars and
cents, is endorsed on ever policy issued.
Should any NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. unable
to pay his premiums, he can thus know
the cash worth of the pdIcy at any time
after two annual premiums have been
paid.
This certainly is the greatest induce-
ment and most tangible advantage ever
accorded to parties insiring their lives.
Among the advantages offered by the BROOK
LYN, which thoroughly evinces the determine
ton of the officers to make it the MOST LIBERAL
Lille Insurance Company n the United States are:
LIST. TOTAL REMOVAL Of ALL RESTRICTIONS ON
TRAVEL AND RESIDENCE The Assured may
travel or reside anywhere they choose, the world
over, without extra premium or special permit
I'd. A Loan of onethird of the Premium to
the Poicy-Holder Annually.
3d. Ali Policies are non-forfcitable after two
full annual premiums have been paid.
4th. Rates as low As are consistent with fnan-
cial soundness, and less than those of almost all
Companies which accommodate their assured
with loans.
5th. Dividends annually latter second year, in
cash. Dividends nredivided on the CONTRIBUTION
PLAN-the only equitable manner OF dividing the
the earnings of Life Insurance Company Inc
Contribution Plan was first conceived by MI D.
P. Fackler, now Actuary OF this Company ana

The BROOKLYN LIFE has paid and now pays

ever before paid by a Life Insurance Company
9th. Promptitude in paying losses.

Dec. 80, 1868

PLYMOUTH, N. G., Dec. 26, 1868.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
colored citizens of this and the surrounding
country was held at the Court House ON this
day, when John G. Guyther was called to
the Chair and Samuel Virgins appointed
Secretary. The following resolutions were
adopted c.-. -.f

George Mcdonald, Samuel Virgins, Willis
johnson, K H. johnson, George Norlam,
Amos Pettiford, John Pettitord, John Bell,
Virgel Nicklers, Frank James as our dele
gates to represent us in said Convention.
ResOloed That impartial suffrage through
out the broad extent of this land, without
reference to color OF condition or race is our
watchword, and that we will continue to de-
mand it until it is secured that We feel q
deep sympathy with our fellow citizens in
other States who are denied this privilege.
That it is idle to talk of the existence of
Freedom without giving the means of pro-
tecting that freedom by selecting your own
rulers with the ballot
ResOlred, That in case our delegates APP
pointed do not attend that we request our
valued and talented friend, Dr. H. l. Brown,
of the city of Baltimore, and State of Mary
lad, to act as our proxy in said National
Convention.

Sula w tHio out.tCCt uiioSo III tuC
minds of persons who have been strangers
to a Constitutional exemption heretofore
The exemption is not certain and specific
exemption of certain prescribed articles. but
general exemption of any preperty to a
certain amount which need never he ascer-
tanned or described, much less registered,
unless an attempt shall be made to deprive
the owner of possession of the same. This
act of assembly requires the citizen to guard
) against expected or possible levy. The
Constitution protects against the levy,
whether the citizen has taken any pains to
guard himself or not. The Act leaves all
property exposed to execution not in
ventoried, or laid off by metes and bounds
and registered. The Constitution protects
all from execution. up to a certain amount
whether inventoried, laid off or registered
or not. Instead of hoping that the
thousands of the people of North Carolina,
who require the protection of the Constitu-
tional Exemptions, will come up and pay
thousands of dollars for the performance of
useless and unnecessary act, Ihope that no
man IN the State aoiM take any step tosodrd
the laying off Of a homestead, unt1 the Sheriff
is at has door, execution an hand. The Con
stitution gives the exemption and the Leg
islature have no right to hamper 1t with
conditions which render it a nullity. II an
officer of the law sells the property OF
resident, when his estate is of less value
than the exemptions given, whether laid
off or not, he is liable. The Constitutional
rights of the citizens must be protected by
the Courts and the Legislature, and not
curtailed by them. If the debtor claims
| property about to be levied on. as exempt
from execution, the Sheriff must wait unit
the fact can be legally ascertained. Lei
then no one incur the expense of allotment
and registry of homestead or personal
property exemption, until it Is necessary te
stop the Sheriff's action. And it is to b.
