Notice is hereby given that Depots for she eo,,,..
of ;he Tax in Kind have been established at N. Er
lowing places, viz: Monroe, Pineville Cb,rIo,,
Davidson College, Harrisburg Concord China e.
salisbury, Rowan Mills, Newton, Lincolnton DAM,
Brevard's Station, Cherry Station and Shelby '
In establishing these Depots couHty lines have b,
entirely disregarded, and producers will be allowed,
deliver their 1.-THE at any one Of the above named
!depots he may choose; yet it is requested for tbs
lgood of common cause that all producers who can
will deliver at one of theabove named Drpoi, ~
la Railroad line. Farmers will nt once see the reas,,
for my making this request. If complied with pro
duce be Immediately supplied for the use Of N,
army.
The law requires producers to deliver ,he ti,b. =,
Iany point indicated within eight miles of the place Of
production, but as il is impracticabe 10 establish
depot within eight miles of eUey producer the pov
ernment expects every man to leud helping hand and
deliver his produce fifteen more miles II ne.
Icessary. The producer will lose very little more time
by delivering fifteen miles than eight, besides he~n
be literally paid by my agents for the excess Of eight
Imiles.
IT, however the nearest collection depot is not on
Railroad, and the producer will deliver one Of
the above named depots on Railroad line, he will be
paid for the difference between the distances from the
place of production and the depots respectively
Being for instance, miles from established depot
ION railroad line and only of four miles from the
lest collection depot off of railroad line the producer
would be paid for eight miles.
Produce will be delivered in the ordinary markets.
BILE condition. OF every kind of produce must
be dy otherwise it will damage despite all my efforts
Ito save it.
AS general thing, farmers have not the means Of
ceghng their long forage, but they are expected TO
estimate as nearly possible the Government portion.
1t is expected that Oats be delivered by the bushel,
and the amount be aScertained by threshing the
tenth of the bundles grown.
The produce given in the same estimate must all
be delivered depot, but producers ewing uhhe
from different counties extreme parts OF the same
county can give In different estimates and deliver
at the depot convenient to the place Of production
The Assessors will ascertain from each producer at
which of the above named depots he will deliver bis
the and state the depot the back Of the estimate,
so that. may know to which agent TO transfer the
estimate. Should there be cases in which the prodn-
Ger will not obigate to deliver ut any OF the ADORE
depots the Assessor will ascertain and state the
back of the estimate the distance and direction from the
nearest collection depot
1t is hoped and believed that the people OF the Dis
trict will be prompt in delivering their 1.-THE and thus
show that they law-abding citizens and willing 10
cast in their mite for the support Of our noble cause
Can we not cheerfully give our own government oh'
tenth in view of the fact that enemies exact nih
tentbs for the support of their government OF our
whom they have orerrunT Yes, fellow.
citizens bring in your tenth in good condition and ne
will save IL the best we can Notice viii be given
when we are ready to receive which will not be until
after the assessment shall have been made.
