Charlotte, v. c.. August 20, 1863. !
Notice is hereby given that Dcpots for the collection
the Tax in Kind have been established at the fol-
lowing places, viz: Monroe, PineViile. Charlotte,
Davidson College, Harrisburg, Concord China Grove
Salisbury, Rowan Mills Newton, LineOlnton, Dallas,
Breyards Station, Cherry Station. ard Shelby.
In establishing these Dcpots, couHy lines have been
entirely disregarded, and producers will be allowed to-
deliver their title At any ono OF tile above named
depoIs he may choose; yet il is requested, for the
good of common cause, that all producers who can
will deliver at of the above named Depos
Railroad line. Farmers will ut the reason
for my making this request II complied with, pro-
duce can be Immediately supplied for tho of tue
army
The law requires producers to deliver the t,hc at
any point indicated within eight miles OF the place OF
production but as II is impracticabfe 60 establish
Depot within eight miles OF erery producer, the gov
eminent expects every TO lend helping hand and
deliver his produce even fifteen miles IL
Lessary The producer will lose very Little time
by delivering fifteen miles than eight bssdes he will
be literally paid BY my agents for the excess Of eight
miles.
If however, the nearest collection depot isnot on
Railroad and the producer will deliver at Of
the above named depots Railroad line, he will DO
paid FOR the difference between the distances fron the
place Of production and tho depots respectively
Being for instance, IL miles from established pot
on railroad line and only of four miles from the
est collection depot off Of railroad line the producer
would be paid for 8 eight miles.
Produce will be delivered in the ordinary markcta-
bic condition. OF course every kind Of produce
be Dry otherwise it will damage despite all my efforts
TO save il.
AS general thing, farmers have not the means Of
Weyhing their long forage, but they expected TO
estimate nearly possible the Government portion.
1t is expected that Oats be delivered by the bushol,
and the amount be ascertained by threshing the
tenth Of the bundles grown.
The produce given ia on the same estimate must all
be delivered at one depot, but producers owing titho
from different counties extreme parts Of the same
county can give in different estimates and deliver
at the depot most convenient to the place OF production
The Assessors will ascertain from each producer at
which of the above named depos he will deliver his
tithe and state the depot the back Of the estimate
so that ! may know to which agent to transfer the
estimate Should there be in which the produ-
will not obligate TO deliver at any Of the above
depos, the Assessor will ascertain and. state the
back Of the estimate the distance and direction from tho
nearest collection depot.
It is hoped and believed that the people OF the Dis
trct will be prompt in delivering ihCr 1.-THE and thus
show that they aw-abding citizens and willing TO
cast in their mite for the support Of noble
Can We not cheerfuy give our own government one
tenth in view Of the fact that enemies exact nine
tenths for the support OF lheir government OF
fellowcitizens whom they have overrun7 Yes fellow
citizens bring in your tenth in good condition and
will il the best Notice will be given
when ready TO receive, which will not be Until
after the assessment shall have been made
