AXD have not paid it yet. The persons for whom it'was intended, by law, ttro now suffering. This Hoard earnestly implores you to jmy the same lorthwith.? They have considered.the reasons assigned b / muny persons for not doing so, to wit: That the enemy under Gen. Sherman and (Jch. Potter, and the cavalry corps of the Confederate States, have eaten up, or destroyed, all their corn, and other provisions; that you have not enough for your own use, and are nowborrowing from others, to enable you to*live, and this Board have concluded that these reasous cannot staud, / ' and arc not proper. The Board cannot roleaso this tax. without repealing ihe act of tlio Legislature which imposes it?this the Board lias no power to do. Tlio laws of the State are iti lull.force and vigor, and unrepealed, and it is the duly of every citizen, stronger now than ever, to obey them. fVbcn might becomes tlio practical law of i he laud, no man is safo in person or property. If your corn and other provisions have been taken from you, then you can purchase more. If you ask where, we answer by the information before tho Board, that au unliiuitcil amount of corn can bo had around Sumter Court House at scventy>five cents in specie. If you have 110 specie, theu use other property to get it, and thus buy the corn, or give a satisfactory note, payable next winter in good money. You can do this, better anil move effectually than the poor wife or widow. You.have property, or^ you would have no Tax to pay. Use it to raise the amount of your tax. This aid is intended/or{destitute women and children. They have uo property and cannot help themselves. You can help thein by doing your duty under the law. They cannot raise specie to buy corn?but you can, by doing your duty. If you told Mr. McKnin, our collector of State Taxes, that you had lost some property by the enemy and therefore could not pay your Tuxes, he would tell you that w;ts no cxcuso, and you must pay up. In short the proposition is this, because you have lost some property, you ought not to pay a tax on any. This is a mistake, and cannot bo adtuittoi]. Nor would the Legislature relieve you from paying the Tar, on thai plea. The Board earnestly prays you to uso alljpossible means at your command to procure this corn and pay your Tax. Seven hundred and _ eighty-five children and three hundred and (orty-six widows, wives, and aged mothers and fathers, have to he supported by this Tax. It will be a small amount to tr.em at best Aid tbcm by paying your tax, andyourcliove the distressed and suffering. The Board willingly will do all in its'power to aid you, and thercforo proposes to receive Irom you, now, one half of your tax, and tho other half In October, out of the growing crop; also to commute tho Syrup Tax into corn, and teccive ono bushel for two gallons, Bv order of tho Bonrd: * JNO.
