THE DIRECT TAX.
yanee's Portion of Granville County :
Taxes.

With the names of those who palc Il.
The list embraces 739 names, and the
amount To be paid back is sII,484. 10.
1t is supposed about one-third OF this
will go to people now living in Vance
and Franklin, who have been cut oil
from Granville county since the tax
was paid in 1866. AS matter OF IN
terest to our readers hereaboutS, we
publish the following, together with
part of the list:
Governor Holt sent out the follow
ing circular of instruction governing
the paying Of this tax to the claimants.
Those who are entitled TO these funds
can now secure them upon making
proper application to the Clerk OF the
Court for blank applications to the
Governor, who pays out the money
instead of the Clerk.
The following is Gov. Hollis cir
cular of instruction
Section three of the act Of Congress
approved March 2, 1891, providing
for the refunding of the Direct Taxes,
directs as follows "That no part of
the money hereby appropriated shall
be paid out by the Governor OF any
State or Territory, or any other per
son, to any attorney or agent under
any contract for services now existing
or heretofore made between the repre-
sentative Of any State or Territory and
any attorney Or agent. All claims
under the trust hereby created shall
be filed with the Governor of such
State or Territory within sixyears next
after the passage of this act; and all
claims not so filed shall be forever
barred, and the money attributable
thereto shall belong to the State
The taxes were collected in the fol-
lowing counties: Alamance, Beaufort,
Berthe, Baden, Brunswick, Cabarrus,
Carteret, Caswell, Chatham, Chowan,
Craven, Cumberland, Davidson, Du-
pin, Edgecombe, Granville, Green, Gull
ford, Halifax, Hartford, Hyde, John
ston, Jones, Lenoir, Mecklenburg,
Montgomery, Nash, New Hanover,
Northampton, Onslow, Orange, Per
quimans, Pitt, Rockingham, Rowan,
Sampson, Wake, Warren, Washington,
Wayne, Wilson.
Copies Of the lists taken from the
records in the Treasury Department
of the United States have been sent
to the Clerk of the Superior Court
of each of these counties, and the
blanks for use of persons in making
application to the Governor for the
sums appearing on the lists to be due
them.
The Clerks will furnish blanks to
persons whose names, or those OF their
intestates or testators, are on the list,
and will be careful to see that the
blanks are properly filled out i'll every
instance If a receipt for the tax can
be produced it must be sent with the
application to the Governor, and when
the receipt is sent the certificate of
two persons as to the ownership, which
is attached to the blank, need not be
filled out.
AS the amount of taxes paid is,
in many instances, small, it is earnestly
urged upon the Clerks of the various
counties to make as great reduction
as possible in their charges.
In case the tax was paid by trustee
or guardian, the blank can readily
be changed to suit the facts. Taxes
paid by a guardian are to be repaid to
the wards if the guardianship has been
settled.
In case the death of a taxpayer, the
tax can be refunded only to "per-
sonal representative" that is, to an
: executor or administrator.
1t is no part of the duty ofthe Gov
ernor to decide or advise as to next OF
kin, or of creditors, or of any other
: persons claiming from the personal
representative. The usual rules OF
law govern all such cases, and when
the money is once paid to the claimant
the duty of the Governor is performed.
The money will be paid on warrants
upon the State Treasurer. Arrange
ments will be made, ifposslble, where
by such warrants can be collected
through banks in all parts of the State.
For further information the act of the
General Assembly of North Carolina
in relation the subject is herewith pub
lished.
Following the above Gov. Holt
appends the act of the General
Assembly.
