Mutual Insurance Society againt

The Act for establishing a Mutual Insu

Carolina, passed at the last Session of the
General Assembly, having; required that the
Directors appointed in different parts of the
State, should make a return to the Subscri
bers, of a Transcript of the amount of the
Subscriptions made on their respective Books,
on the first of May ; and also made it the
duty of the Directors at Raleigh, on the
event of the sum so subscribed exceeding
th ree hundred thousand dolllars, to give
public notice thereof in the State Gazette, &
to appoint a meeting of the Subscribers, in
person or bv proxy, in the city of Raleigh on
the 16th of June next:
The Subscribers (though they have not
yet heard from all the Directors') having
good reason to believe, from the returns they
have received, that the Subscriptions for In
surance will considerably exceed oOO.OOO
the sum mentioned in the Act, do herebv
call a meeting of the Subscribers, in person
or byproxv (proxies to be constituted by the
delivery of the certificate of subscription) at
the State-House in the city of Raleigh, on Sa
turday the 16th of June next, at ten o'cloek in
the morning, for the purpose of incorporat
ing the said Society, by forming a Consti
tution, -fixing the terms cf Insxrrance, and
the period at which Policies shall begin to be
issued, of appointing proper Officers, and of
doing all other acts which shall be deemed
proper and necessary for carrying the In
stitution into complete effect.
As the Law directs that, at least one-third
of the Subscribers in number or value, shall
be present, in person or by proxy, on this
occasion; as the business to be transacted is
of the .greatest importance to t-he success of
the Society and as the meeting4 takes place
during the sessions of our Federal and Conference-Courts,
it is -hoped at full attendance
will be given. Such, however, as cannot
make it convenient to be ipresent, are re
quested to deliver the certificates of their sub
scription to persons who will attend the
meeting, and assist in deliberating on the
business which shall come before it.
