Tho consolidation of the t too most popnlar Sont horn Companies is full of advantages lo thc policy-holders of both Companies. Ita expenditures will be less, and with less relative risk. Tho futuro dividends will bc mere certain, and probably greater in Amount, and a better re? served Innd created. NO RIGHT of old policy-holders will bo affected; they will continue to pay tho aamo rate as before; lo hold tho same policies as before: to havo tho same rights, benefits and privileges as before, and have equal present security with greater futuro benefit than before. All renewals of old policies will be in name of new Company, under epecial authority from tho respective Directors of tho old Companies. A NEW CHARTER was obtained with tho rights of policy-holders guaranteed, and wc call special attention to the following desirable features in said charter: "SEO. 2. Tho business of tho Company shall be to make insurance on tho lives of individuals in all thc brunches of Life Insurance; to grant, purchase or dispose of annuities or ro-insure risks." "SEC. 4. The business nf tho Company SHALL bo conducted on tho plan of DISTRIBUT? ING TO THE POLICY-HOLDERS THE PROUTS of tho business, as hereinafter provided, unless by the consent of tho assured tho policy selected is non-participating." "SEC. 15. This Company may issue policies on tho lives of husbands and parents, or others, for the benefit of wives and families, or other beneficiaries interested in their lives-as anees* tors, descendants, creditors or depondonts, and tho same shall not bo liable for tho debts ol contracts of thc assured, except aa provided in the policies issued." ' SEO. 16. Tho Company may issue policies payablo IN GOLD : Provided, premiums aro paid in the samo." "Si:c. lfi. The permanent investment of funds shall bo in mortgages or lions on UNENCUM? BERED BEAL ESTATE WORTH DOUBLE THE AMOUNT LOANED." We would also call attention to tho rights secured in polk y as part of the contract. Rights of party to nonforfeiture in au its policies. Rights of party to re-instatenient-paid up policy, and surrendor value whore "intervention of armies" or any other causo cuts tho insured ofl from homo ofilco. This feature, omitted in policies of Northern Companies, cost tho Southern peoplo very heavily in tho lato war, and should make them seek tho only Company that provides against such contingency in future, some Companies now have in their policies, that parties who "tako up arms i gainst" certain named States, "or tho United States," render their policy null ?nd void. This is making cer? tain what was befnro uncertain, and is too great a mingling polities, war and life insurance. "Tho PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON" has a model charier and modelpolicy, plainly stating rights of parties and guarding those rights against sacrifice lt gives dividends at tho end of first year, whon all cash is paid, and of second year, when part loan is taken. Tho all cash plan is unreservedly recommended as in every way moat satis? factory. We now confidently appeal to every ono interested in Southern prosperity to look to thoir own interests, by susi arning their own institu? ions, and thereby establishing that self-confi? dence without which there can be no permament prosperity. Bear in mind that already over ?10 000,000 are. annually sent North for Life Insurance, taking so much from our strength, and thereby giving additional power to our competitors. We offer a solid, roliable Life Insuranco Company, thoroughly Southern, in the hand t of men of the highest integrity, with abundant assets, recent risks, the mostaeenreof all investments, pledged to retain within the State of South Carolina all funds accruing therein, and, Indeed, pre? senting every advant ige that can be desired: and we only ask a full examination Into the supe? rior morita of the "PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY" to insure your patronage.
