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,
