"ISMS" ARE DANGEROUS Most Pernicious of All Are Those Who Would Destroy American Ideals. LEESBURG, VA., July 8. . Enemies who today attack American iustitutioub "from within instead of from without" are no less to bo feared than tho foes of war times, "although they do not wear distinctive uniform," acting Secretary Wainwright of the War Department said today, speaking at the dedication of the memorial to tue men of Loudoun coun ty who died in the world war. ."Since the great war," Air. Waia-i right said, "innumerable 'inula' have sprung up in our country whoso declared or undeclared objective is to destroy Americanism to which wo owe all we pos sess as a nation. Groups of peoples and . classes arc organized for every kind of purpose except a patriotic and national one. Insidious propaganda, is being di- 'rected against all of the' fundamentals of our government. - ' The most pernicious of all are those ..who are striving, to substitute interna tionalism for nationalism. They would destroy from within what no enemy has ever been able to do from without our ideals of government, constitution, insti tutions, liberties and leadership in the world. Tho Pacifists, who were silent during The world war and missing from the ranks as our defenders, would de stroy our instruments of defense the army and navy and render us u weak ling among the nations without influence or prestige in the world's affairs. These .pacificists and internationalists work ing together and in most instances the same peoplo are trying to induce our youths to foreswear allegiance to our flag and refuse to defend it. ' ' If such are not enemies, then who is. y " That is not the road to peace thr.t 14 merely tho road to which fanatics point. The road to peace is tho same one' we have always followed. As long as we adhere to the ideals that madu us a nation and as long as we have strength actual and potential, that long will we , be able to influence the counciisu of the nations for peace. The moment we oe come weak we will be flouted. The moment we subiuirge our identity as a nation, all Is lost. "These dead must not have died in vain. Heroic dead of Loudoun county, I salute yo'i. We will bo faithful in your .trust. " CHAMBER OF COMMERCE . i DIRECTORS HAD MEETING Rsolutfons' of respect to. j. (Lv Richpy, submitted by a committee, composed of E. B. Denny, F. M. Francum and 'C.

The rate for the ensuing year is nine teen cents higher than it was last year when it was 6 cents divided into JU cents for schools and 66 cents for gen eral city purposes. The 40-cent school tax this year, it was poiniea oui ty iae board, is apportioned as follows: 261-2 cents for school purposes and 13 1-2 cents for interest on bonds. For the general school administration it is shown that the tax is 3 1-2 cents less than last year 's rate when 30 cents was the school rate. It was furthermore pointed out by tho board that the payroll for teach ers -for the coming session will be $115, 603 with 14 moT teachers employed than in 1920-21, when the teachers payroll was $116,574. Last year the payroll for teachers was $107,500. The addition of 14 teachers is mado necessary on accouat of an increase of 600 pupils in the school system. The enrollment in 1920-'21 was 3,127, while for 1921-'22 tho total was 3,738. When the school board presented these facts to tho city council, and called for an increase in the tax rate to meet tho needs, it put the council to thinking. 4 Where are we to get tho money, gen tlemen," asked the mayor of his fed low council members. None of them seemed to know except Dr. Garrison who declared that a lot of property in the city was not returned at its full value, especially in the caso of recent build ings. ' "Let's check up the building permits with Tax Collector Grier 's books and see how they compare,'' suggested some one and tl suggestion was adopted. n We've got to find some more prop erty1 somewhere, gentlemen," 'declared the mayor, "if you want that much money to run the schools. We had been hoping to cut the tax rate, but your re quest will cause it to go up." "Can 't help it, Mr. Mayor," respond ed Mr. C J. Huss, spokesman for the tho school board.

'- No greater shock nor deeper sorrow has ever t-omo over tho little eity of Dallas than the sad news of the sudden death of Mr. C. C.

Mr. Cornwell was in his usual health with tho exception of a slight' cold and in conversation with the Dallas report er anoat seven o clock i riuay evening was revealing plans for greater publicity for Dallas, for he had been a realty dealer for Gastonia and Dallas for the past three years. Later he went for a short walk and upon returning lay down upon, the lounge to study for a little while, as was his daily custom, the bun- day school lesson, when the summons came. . Mr. Cecil Cornwell was in the yard in conversation with :i friend and Mrs. Cornwell wn in another nart of the jhou.se. Goimr in mice slip thontrht he was' asleep and did not disturb him. Going to him a little later she called, but he could not answer. Friends and a, physician were called at once but it was found that he had passed away soma nrteen or twenty minutes before.

" ' Secretary and Attorney Fatrick ex plained that the board was really spend ing less money for schools, but that the interest on the recent half-million dot lar school' bond issue was the "big item. "Figure six per cent on $450,000 and you have $27,000," he said. "That's the interest on our bonds. The property valuation in Gastonia is $20,000,000. A tax rate of 13 1-2 cents per $100 on that amount, you see, will give the $27,000 interest on the bonds. . We are spending only 26 1-2 cents for school purposes us opposed to a previous rate of 30 cents." "That may be true," said the coun cil, ' ' but the school tax rate must go down as 40 cents. " And it was so Ordered. The separation Of the 75 cents general eity tax into its component parts will be made and published in an early issue of The Gazette. Jitney licenses were granted Oscar Lane, iL. A. Thorpe, A. 8. Bass, 8. B. Ilinson and J. E. Kiser. Each ap plicant was carefully examined and it was only after much discussion that the licenses were granted. Attorney John G. Carpenter appeared again for C. h. Lewis, supported by B. B. Gardner ana nominee for sheriff G R. Rhyne, both of whom testified as to his good char acter. Mr. Carpenter plead earnestly for his client, claiming that Mr. Lewis, who might have been guilty of past indis cretions, would not be so incriminated again. Mr. Lewis and his friends put up a strong plea, but the council was evidently influenced by , certain damag ing testimony that was presented at a previous meeting in the Bhaje of inform ation from farmers who saw .Sir, .Lewis' car engaged unlawfully.

Hero ho continued in busincsh until he was elected clerk of the court on August 19, 1S98, when he sold out his merchandise business and moved to Dallas, where ho has resided since. The fact that any man holds a county office, especiallyy one as important as tht of clerk of the Superior Court, for twenty years is all the evidence the pub lic wants that t ho one holding that of flee is efficient and discharges the duties of his office with ability.

He has not been ab sent once in thirty consecutive years ex cept in cases of sickness or necessity. He alwlfys appears before his school with i the lesson thoroughly studied and never j fails to make some helpful and inter esting comments.

POWERFUL SERMON ON POWER OF THE GOSPEL Evangelist Haggard Spoke Fri day Night From RomJ 1 :15. Plan of Salvation Is Wide Enough to Take . In All. (Reported for The Gazette.) The Haggard meeting continues inter esting. Large crowds are still gathering to hear the evangelist preach. The sing inn is on the increase still. The Loray quartet gave us another fine selection last night. Everything is pointing to a great meeting. Many more professed faith in Christ. Many were there from out-of-town. Kings Mountain, Gaffney, Bessemer .City and other towns around lis aro taking a great deal of interest in tins meeting. It is wonderful to see how much the GafTney peoplo are doing for tho meeting, though they are thirty five miles away from us. We wish to take-space hero to say one word in defense of our paper. Some are wondering why we are not giving the ser mons in full. Well, it is not because Wo aro not getting them. The steno grapher is getting them almost verbatim, but our daily paper does not have space enough for the publication of as lenghty a sermon as these are. The space is limited. Wo have as good set of men in charge of our paper as you can find anywhere. They are as nice to us as they have ever Ix'en to auy meeting. They are in sympathy with any forward movement of whatever nature. They stand firm on every moral issue. They would gladly give us space if they had it, but thev just cannot and keep the rest of their paper intact. W'o appre ciate what they are doing for us, and feel that we ought to say this word for them as some are clamoring for the whole of the sermons. We arc having them put into book form. Any one can set all of them whea tho meeting Is over. We are giving the gist of all of them in this paper each day. Thi is all we feel able to do at present. It is no easty task. The following sermon was preached last night : Text, Romans 1: 13-16.. "So as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gos pel to you that are at Rome also. -For I urn not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation t' every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." "We love to think of the Apostle Faul as one of the world's greatest preaehers. He always ' preached the word of God. He was not ashamed. -of it. While he is gone, his great ser mons and i'fe still live with us. He will never die. God's peoplo live on ami on. He said, 'I am a debtor. God wants all of hs to. konw that we are debt ors.

But three boys all between 10 and 12 liked the little girl and they didn't like Eddie's popularity. They became frankly jealous.

(By The Asso ciated Press.) Americans a being secretly murdered by the Turks in Ajiu Minor and reports then circulated that they died. of typhus and other diseases-; according to J . Herbert Knapp, civil engineer of Los Angeles, who has ar rived from Constantinople after ' three years in the Turkish , interior. ..Mr. Knapp went to Turkey principally to in vestigate the death at Diarbekir of .his brother, the late George P. Knupp, who tho Turks reported had died suddgnly of typhus. He declares that his own 'in vestigation supported by affidavits on file with the American consul at Bagdad, convinced him that his brother was exe cuted by shooting. "The Turks hated niy brother," said Mr. Knapp, "because he knew too much about the massacre of Christians, which was then in progress. It was generally reported that ho had died from poison ing after-drinking a cup of Turkish cof fee handed to him by a promicnt Turk ish official, but I am confident from tes timony given by. those who lived near the scene of his death, that he was deliber ately murdered. . " I believe also that Miss Annie Allen, of Auburndale, Mass., Miss Charlotte Ely, of Elmira, N. Y., and other Ameri cans who died in Turkey recently mil their deaths at the hands of the Turks, although in each caso it was made to ap pear that death was due to natural causes. " , Mr. Knapp recounted the story of Miss AHen, who, he said, was sent to Kharput by the Xcar East Relief to in vestigate the causes for the expulsion of Major Yowell, Dr. Mark Ward anjl others, and who was often descrilied as tho "unofficial American Ambassador to Angora. " Miss Allen had learned enough in Kharput, iMr. Knapp "said, to satisfy her that the Greek deportees were being sys tematically starved to death and exit ed to all kinds of maltreatment to accom plish this end.

M. Jewell, Head of Shop! Crafts, Blames Board t for Continuance. HOOPER SAYS OTHERWISE All Are Receptive But Noncj Willing to Make the First Move. CHICAGO, July 8. (By the Asscm ciated Press.) Railway shopmen ea tered tho second week of their strike today with no apparent inclination toj follow tho only avenue to peace, helj open to thrtn by the Railroad Labo Board. The board stood on the position! taken by its chairman, Ben W. Hooper. that the only way the striking shop men could receive recognition in eon ciliatory conferences was to restorer themselves to standing before the boarul by returning to work and then enter ing into negotiations for a settlement, B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts, who held himself open to approach byl "any responsible .person authorized tq ' negotiate a settlement, " declined toj make tho first move, preferring rathe to place the blanio for a continuance of tho strike upon tho Labor Board ani the railroads. ; Mr, Jewell declared that the olivel branch of peace should first be offeredi to the striking shopmen. Tho railroads remained immovable iti their attitude of considering the strika as against the government rather than against tho roads. aiy elements were in receptive moods) but firm in their determination not to weaken their positions hy making thtf first move. Conditions generally, so far as tli'4 ; transportation and shop operations were concerned, remained much the, same as theyhad been for several days! but the, beginning of tho. second week of the strike brought increasing restlessness among strikers and sporadic outbreaks in scattered rail centers. Storm clouds of the strike in thcie irregular movement over- the country; apparently centered for tho moment over Illinois and Missouri. New dis orders broke out in Chicago, where mobs of striking shopmen and symia thizers continued terrorism of . workers: and suspected strike breakers. . V . Several men, suspected of being strikd breakers, were pulled from street ears and beaten, and tho homes of a few workers were besiegdi aud attacked, with a hail of sticks and stones. A box car was burned and several other cars werq discovered soaked with oil. ; Although, none of the disturbances in Illinois was considered by state author ities as serious enough to warrant a cajl for troops, Adjutant General Black nevertheless declared that troops already mobilized anl held in readiness for strike duty would not be ddemobilized until tho situation an threats of fur ther disorders disappeared. Governor A. M. Hyde, of Missouri, to whom frequent appeals were mad? for troops, exchanged communications with strikers 'on the Missouri Pacific. The strikers, in a telegram to Governor Hyde, thanked him for the "fair and impartial position" he had taken in refusing to order troops to strike cen ters, and assuring him that they would do evervtliiiiE in their power to prevent violence or the destruction of property. In reply Governor Hyde toldthj: strikers that their rights to qTrrt-Pork individually or collectively would be recognized, and he asked them in return r to co-operate in the protection of other men who also had a right to work. The govrnor assured the strikers that ifi they made good their promises there wiuld be no necessity ' for calling state troops. Meanw bile, however, several companies were held in readiness.
