Posi- QUARTERMAsTERs OFFICE, sTH DIS,
Charlotte N. G.. August 20, 1863. J
Notice is hereby given that Depots for the collection
of the Tax in Kind have been established at the fol-
lowing places, viz: Monroe, Pineville, Charlotte,
Davidson College, Harrisburg, Concord, China Grove
Salisbury, Rowan Mills, Newton, Lincolnton Dallas,
Brevard's Station, Cherry Station and Shelby.
In establishing these Depots, county lines have been
entirely dsregarded and producers viii be allowed to
deliver their 1.-THE at apY one, of the above named
depots he may chooses yet 1t is requested, for the
good of common cause that all producers who can,
will deliver of the above named Depets on
Railroad line Farmers will at once see the reason
for my making this request. If complied with, pro-
duce be Immediately supplied for the use of the
army.
The law requires producers to deliver the 1.-THE at
any point indicated within eight miles of the place of
production, but as it is mpractcabe to establish
Depot within eight miles of every producer, the gov
ernment expects every man to lend helping hand and
deliver his produce fifteen miles Ii me-
cessary The producer will lose little more time
by delivering fifteen miles than eight, besides he'will
be literally paid by my agents for the excess OF eight
miles
IT, however the nearest collection depot is not on
Railroad and the producer will deliver 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 IL miles from esablis he'd depot
railroad line and only of four miles from the near
est collection depot off of railroad line, the producer
would be paid for eight miles.
Produce will be delivered in the ordinary marketa-
BILE condition. OF course kind of produce must
be otherwise it will damage despite all my efforts
to it.
AS general thing, farmers have not the means of
ceghing their long forage but they are expected TO
estimate as nearly possible the Government portion
It is expected that Oats be delivered by the bushe
and the amount can be ascertaned by threshing the
tenth of the bundles grown
The produce given in the same estimate must all
be delivered at depot, but producers owing 1.-THE
from different counties extreme parts OF the
county can give different estimates and deliver
at the depot most convenient to the place of
The Assessors will ascertain from each producer at
which of the above named depots he will deliver his
Nbe state the depot the back of the estimate
so that may know to which agent transfer the
estimate Should there be cases in which the produ-
Ger will net obgate to deliver at any of the above
depots the Assessor will ascertain ard 90 the
back of the estimate the distance and direction from the
nearest collection depot
It is hoped and believed that the people of the Dis
rict will be prompt in delivering their 1.-THE and thus
show that they law-abidng citizens and wiling
cast in their for the. support of noble
Can we not cheerfully give owp government
tenth in view of the fact that enemies nine
tenths for the support of their government Of our
fellowcitizens whom they have overrun? Yes fellow
citizens bring your tenth in good condition and we
when we are ready receive which will not be until
after the assessment shall have been made.
